Pacific Coast Highway Love

wearing: Jean Jacket: Levi's (old) | maxi: Soma | wedges: ALDO | necklace: local boutique | bag: Michael Kors (similar here)

Welcome to California! This place is beautiful and one of my favorite spots to visit is the Pacific Coast Highway. There's no better way to drive into Los Angeles then on the PCH. I scouted out my internship location and took a few pictures while on the way. One of my favorite trends this season is the maxi dress. You can't go wrong with it. I opted for a long black maxi because it can easily be paired with fun accessories. I just received my Nikon D5100 in the mail today. I can't wait to start shooting with it! It's my first DSLR..YAH!

Bright Street Style

Hola Fashionistos/as! This week, I’m going to talk about obtaining your very own street style. I’m a firm believer in the fact that the streets are the best place to find trends and style. It’s the best fashion show there is; take a look for yourself at this week’s Fashionisto.

I love finding pieces worn by fashion lovers that are current and available in stores now. After all, we are pretty impatient when it comes to fashion. We want what we want and we want it now! If this describes you, then you’ll be pretty pleased to know that this bright and beautiful sweatshirt top from Marc by Marc Jacobs is available in stores at this very moment. Bright colors are taking over the streets this spring. Embrace this gorgeous trend by pairing your top with a trucker’s hat. I found the perfect combo by Poler here.

The rest of your outfit should be constructed carefully. Too much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing, fast. Since orange has taken over the top half of this outfit, let’s darken things up on the bottom with a simple black  jean. The 501 Skinny Fit Jean by Levi’s is the right choice for you here. Slip on a classic pair of Converse All-Stars and you will have accomplished your own street style.

Hint: Street style is a fun and easy way to express your fashion taste. Brighten things up this week with a bright and colorful top and color coordinate it with a truckers hat. Break up the monotony with a black pair of jeans and a simple shoe. If you want to raise the bar a little, try throwing your school supplies into this Marc by Marc Jacobs Square Shopper.

Style On,

On The Go

Finals have arrived my fellow SCAD Bees, and that means spring break is in sight. Although I’m sure most of you have your thoughts set on camping at the beach for a week, let’s not forget to finish this quarter looking remarkable. While most of us have thrown the idea of sleeping out the window to crank out last minute projects, let’s keep ourselves energized through bright clothing selections and endless amounts of coffee.

For the last week of winter quarter, your outfits are probably the last thing on your mind. So this week while you’re on a constant go, keep it simple. This Fashionisto is keeping it basic with a bright T-shirt and an overlaying coat in the same color family. T-shirts are a fun and easy way to bring an outfit to life. As spring break is rolling in closer and closer, tank tops might be a better selection for you island jet setters. Urban Outfitters has a few funky noteworthy graphic tanks here.

Let your T-shirt do all the talking this week and pair it with denim jeans. Levi Brand Jeans is featuring the 501 Original Fit Jean as their monthly go-to pant. Available in a wide variety of washes and colors, you can’t go wrong with this one, Fashionistos. While you’re running out the door for last minute errands, don’t forget to grab a complementing layer for your outfit. I’m really digging these field jackets from Armani Collezioni here.

Hint: While you rush to complete your finals in a frenzied state this week, let’s ensure your outfit doesn’t pay for it, too. For an easy getup that will translate to spring break, pair your favorite colorful tank top with a pair of denim shorts. Slip on some Vans and hang in there because your island spring break getaway is just around the corner.

Style On,
