WHAT A BOMB-ER

Bomber: Courtesy of Sammy Dress - Bralette: PinkZone - Top: XXI - Jeans: Bullethead Denim - Boots: Timberland

Let me start by saying there is nothing misfortunate about this jacket! I am absolutely smitten with this bomber and apparently several passerbys and store clerks were too.

I received this little gem in the mail after Sammy Dress contacted a few weeks ago. I've had the pleasure of browsing their site prior so I was excited that someone there had found the blog. I went through tons of items -- Sammy Dress is a online store with thousands of items for insanely good prices -- and finally decided on this amazing sequined bomber.

When it got to my doorstep I immediately tried it on and fell in love! You would think something with this much embellishment would weigh you down but this bomber does just the opposite. It's light weight yet it holds all the structure.. The inside of it is comfortable as well. I don't know what's on the inside but it makes wearing it itch and chaff free.

This will definitely come in handy this spring. I have so many ideas for styling it for upcoming post. Definitely stay tuned for more of this bomber and check out Sammy Dress for cool pieces!

You would think something like Los Angeles Fashion week would be top tier for a LA native like myself. This outfit is actually from my outing to LAFW Concept which actually I was made it too but found myself elsewhere after the first show.

After realizing we had left the memory cards at home Le Boy and I headed out to purchase one and ended up exploring West Hollywood (Or WeHo as I like to call it and he likes to roll his eyes at).

We had so much fun during out fashion week detour. We went to Whole Foods where we ate lunch outside and took a warm cloudless view. The best part was cruising in that god ol' Hollywood street traffic. We saw this mural on the way to eat and made a mental not to come back for photos.

I think I like playing hooky!

Sweater: Target - Booties: Aldo

I'm aware that my sweater actually says "Coke" but I liked the look of Diet Cola better. To be honest I had to stop myself from naming this post after that inappropriate Lana Del Rey lyric. But you gotta sensor yourself sometimes, right?

This top is usually worn with another red item. Most of the time that item is a pair of red Converse but this time this beanie sufficed. I think I'm becoming a beanie person. Actually I know I am. I've started a collection and acquired 3 in the past month. Expect more beanie action guys because this is now a thing!

It's only March but I think I've found my uniform for summer. I was leaving the house today and these jeans stood out to me. They remind of a pair of ragged jeans I had in the 5th grade. It took me a long time to get the ends ripped and frayed just right and I loved them. They didn't last long though because my mom threw them away and replaced them with a new pair. I can't even begin to tell you how mad I was. Luckily for both of us, that was probably the biggest tantrum I had as a preteen.

So until summer comes I think I'll be wearing my jeans out and toning up my stomach. But ya know LA is always warm so I don't have much time!

Mules: Pacsun

So the last post I hinted to the fact I purchased some of the items in the collage. Well these beauties arrived this past week and I am in LOVE. I really wanted a pair of mules and almost purchased a black pair. But in the end it sounded best to get something outside of black - seeing as I own every type of shoe in that color. I also figured white is perfection for the spring time. Plus, how badass is the gold tip on the open toe?

I can't be the only one waiting on Spring? I was originally super excited about the winter time (for the first time ever btw). Unfortunately Southern California let us down so all we experienced here was a bit more of summer than needed. Now I'm basking in the late rainfall and cool breeze that is the end of this winter as I clutch my credit card in a online shopping haze.

I'm so ready for the next season it's not a joke. I've already ordered two items from this list and going about obtaining a third. Im excited to continue experimenting. This includes steering away from black. White has become my new obsession. It's so clean and just as cool/badass its darker counterpart. Trendy items are also on the agenda for spring. I'm finally admitting to myself that trends may be worth the bandwagon ride. So we will see how spring awakens my sense of style.

How do you feel about the seasons changing? Are you excited? And if so what trends are you seeking out in preparation?
