Sunny Afternoon

Dress - H&M

The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everythin' I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me
Save me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me

And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime, in the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

- Kinks

How amazing is the dress??!!

This is my #1 pick for this weekend to wear on Memorial day.

Of course I will add a big hat and sunnies to protect myself from the sun.

And.... probably a statement necklace!

All Clothes, Red Tennies & Beach Bag - H&M / Wedges - JC / Hat - LF

Above are my must haves for this Holiday weekend....

Memorial Day!

So weather you will be celebrating by the Beach, Pool or a BBQ

H&M has everything you will need from casual to cute little dresses

and of course super cute bathing suits!

Stay tuned to see what I end up wearing this weekend!

Over the Hills and Far Away

Lace Dress - Free People / Boots - Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony / Necklace - HM

Bracelets - Black Oak & Derek Jaymes Cuff / Rings - Younger Young & Vintage

Hey lady--you got the love I need 
Maybe more than enough. 
Oh Darling... walk a while with me 
You've got so much... 

Many have I loved - Many times been bitten 
Many times I've gazed along the open road. 

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened 
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know

- Led Zeppelin

Now that the sun is shinning I am ready to start expanding my color 

palette a bit...

And I am loving chartreuse right now!

It goes so well with turquoise jewelry, very flower child.

I loooove this Free People lace dress... the color, the cut, it is just so 60's to me

which I love! 

I paired these boots with the dress because I loved how the brown and chartreuse 

went together...

Cherub Rock

Top & Bra - Brandy Melville / Shorts - LuLu's / Sheer Blouse - HM / Boots - Matisse

Belt - Vintage / Sunnies - Ray Ban / Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

Bracelets & Rings - Vintage, Brandy Melville, Black Oak & Younger Young

Freak out
And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'cause they know
Who is righteous, what is bold
So I'm told

Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?

- Smashing Pumpkins


Simple but chic...
That is pretty much how I would describe this outfit.
Black is definitely my go to color and playing with all shades of it.
When I wear all of one color I like to play with the textures of fabric
like the pieces above.
This bra that I'm wearing is one of my all time favorites and every girl must own it.
It will become your best friend and makes every outfit that much better!
Get it at Brandy Melville!

I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor

Dress - H&M / Tank - Brandy Melville / Jacket - Hurley / Boots - Hunter Boots & JC

Belt - Vintage / Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you
And what it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen
Oh, but you're an explosion
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go!

I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!

- Artic Monkeys

Finally!!!

I am posting my first day at Coachella outfit!

Friday was like nothing you would expect at Coachella...

Normally you would think bathing suits and the blazing sun against your skin.

But...

That was not the case instead it was windy and cold but that did not scare away any of the festival goers!

I hid out in the H&M tent for a bit which was amazing!

They have 3 different photo booths that you can have your photo taken in

and all you have to do is hash tag #kissforacause on any of your social media outlets and they donate $1 to one of their Fashion Against Aids charity's!

We are all obsessed with social media anyway so lets at least do something good with it!

All in the H&M tent was the place to go and take a break!

So if you are going the second weekend then you must go check it out!

PS.... Next week I will post the rest of my Coachella outfits!

Fade Into You

Dress - H&M's 2012 FAA Collection / Hat & Shoes - UO

I wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
- Mazzy  Star

I'm so honored to help H&M promote an AMAZING cause with their 5th Fashion Against Aids collection!

Not only is this seasons collection so great and perfect for summer with their bright colors, fringe and dip dyed pieces but their cause is so important!

They are bringing awareness about HIV/AIDS.

 April 26th the collection debuts and 25% of all sales will go to various international HIV/AIDS awarenes projects.

I had the chance to visit H&M's LA showroom to get a sneak peak of all the amazing designs and let me tell you.... they have it all.
Mini skirts, crop tops, body con dresses, shoes AND accessories!
I'm loving all the bright colors they are using...
Check it out below!

On another note,
 If you will be attending Coachella come escape the heat and view the entire collection!

H&M will host two photo booths, where attendees will have the unique opportunity to “Kiss for a Cause.” Photos will then be printed and added to a collage in the tent. All Instagram users that upload photos coupled with the hashtags#kissforacause #hmusa, will be printed and added to the inspiration board. Additionally, H&M will donate $1 to AIDS research for every Foursquare, Twitter or Instagram user that mentions the hashtag.

See you there!!

Sex and Candy

Coat - Zara / Jeans - Pac Sun (similar here) / Blouse - H&M / Boots - Robert Clergerie

Hangin' round downtown by myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think
about myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly
I smell sex and
candy here
Who's that lounging
in my chair
Who's that casting
devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely
is a dream

- Marcy Playground

As we have been seeing leopard pants are all the rage!

What I love about them is that they are soooo versatile...

You can dress them down with a casual shoe or add a statement boot.

Either way the pants look killer!

I like the way the outfit looks the most when the jacket is buttoned up 

and just a bit of the leopard shows.

It makes the outfit look effortless and very rock n roll!

Thinking back, thinking of you
Summertime, think it was June
Yeah, think it was June

Laying back, head on the grass
Chewing gum, having some laughs
Yeah, having some laughs

You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
- Stereophonics


Happy Wednesday....

If the World

1st photo - Top & Shorts - Vintage / 2nd photo - Top - UO

3rd photo - Robe, Bra & Panty - Kiki De Montparnasse / Heels - Jimmy Choo for H&M

4th photo - Bustier - Vintage / Shorts - DIY / Shoes - Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony


If the world would end today
Then all the dreams we had would all just drift away
You know there's nothing more to say
If the world would end and our love slipped away

I never knew the way that you look at me
Would ever mean so much to me
But in my heart I found the feelings that I've never shown
And now they've got the best of me
 - Guns n' Roses 


Recently my bf and I had one of our friends and amazing photographer Brandon Harman
shoot us at our place, with amaze friend and make up artist Ashley Kusich.
These are just a couple of my favorites I thought I would share with you all!
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

Who like to go down slow

First off!!!

I hope everyone had an Amazing Holiday weekend celebrating Thanksgiving!

My bf Derek and I took ourselves on a little road trip to see both of our families.

First stop - Arizona!

These were taken in Quartzsite, AZ

Quartzsite is an awesome place where you will find your self roaming for hours looking at all kinda of beautiful stones, semi precious gems and collectibles!

I knew it was going to be warm in AZ so I wore my shorts for the trip and for some reason I found it fitting to pair with a denim top as well!

Only Happy When it Rains

Sweater Cape - H&M / Dress - LF / Boots - Dr Martins

I'm only happy when it rains 

I feel good when things are going wrong 
I only listen to the sad, sad songs 
I'm only happy when it rains 

I only smile in the dark 
My only comfort is the night gone black 
I didn't accidentally tell you that 
I'm only happy when it rains 
You'll get the message by the time I'm through 
When I complain about me and you 
I'm only happy when it rains 

- Garbage

When it rains it pours, that is exactly how the weather was all day yesterday.

I'm really loving my Dr Martins at the moment especially on days like this...

They are the perfect shoe to toughen up even the sweetest of dresses like mine above!
