Family Love

Dear Diary,

Meet my handsome cousin Oliver. I was more than thrilled to hang with him in London on my trip. We hadn’t seen each other in a year, and of course I had to take some shots of him considering how cool he looked in his oversize cardigan, and plaid combo.


Proud Galleries in Camden

Dear Diary,

I attended Tanya Lacey’s showcase at the Proud Galleries in Camden with my sister and friends. Special thanks to Soki Mak for the invitation, we all had a blast!

Allow me to Introduce..

Dear Diary,

I went to Beyond Retro in London, located around Soho to do some vintage shopping, and who do I run into after my spree?
A gorgeous young lady with sea blue hair talking on her cell phone. I just couldn’t take my eyes off her. A sporty, yet casual outfit. I mean she oozed flyness without even trying! I knew I would kick myself  if I didn’t interrupt her phone call to pay a compliment, and take a few shots of her. It ended up being one of the best decisions I ever made. She was very receptive and jovial, which made me admire her even more for her humility.

Meet Soki Mak,
A freelance stylist, and designer based in London.  She has worked with british recording artist, and songwriter Tanya Lacey, and also styled fashion editorials. If you are as intrigued as I am about Soki, click  HERE to view her blog.

Avenue Montaigne

Dear Diary,

Being an avid Sex and the City watcher, I had to make my way to the Hotel Plaza Athenee in Paris. I 1st saw this hotel from season 6 of the series, and let me just tell you  that my photos do no justice to how  GORRRGEOUS the hotel is from the outside as well as the hallways in the inside.  The concierge staff were very friendly about taking pictures, but I did not want to overstep my boundaries lol. I certainly need to spend a weekend there in the near future.

H&M for VERSACE tee (also worn here) , LUCCA COUTURE shorts, SABRE sunglasses, H&M brogues.

Snacking at the Champs

Dear Diary,

 On day 5 of my Parisian adventure, I spent all day at the Champs Elysees, mostly satisfying my sweet tooth. First stop…LADUREE! A luxury pastry shop, and the inventor of the double-decker macarons.

The famous macarons inside Laduree.
Second stop, Bar Unisex. A stylish bar for food and cocktails. But I of course..
Had an oreo milkshake! Lol
  It was beyond cute on the inside, with the pink accents.
  
WHAT I WORE: ZARA shirt and pants,URBAN OUTFITTERS satchel, H&M brogues,
 F21 earrings.

Note to self: Always have your fancy shoes packed

Dear Diary,

Why did I have to be so late to fashion night out?? I had a blast and met some amazing people, but I was so bummed to miss the early action. The sightseeing and museums are to be blamed for consuming all my time.  I knew I should have had my event shoes packed up, and ready to go in my purse before leaving the house. It’s always a drag when you have to go back and change. I was only able to gather very little from the night’s festivities. It got really dark, so I couldn’t get any awesome shots with my camera :-(.

In other news, how awesome is it that a fashion night out invitation was placed in my September issue of Vogue Paris?

KENZO

Inside Michael Kors, the DJ was dressed to impress and killing it!

What I Wore: FNO

Dear Diary,

It was my 1st Fashion Night Out in Paris, and I thought to myself… why not go BOLD in fashion central? So I did a mint peplum, a scarf print shirt with pops of red to match my fiery red hair! I mean the 2 Parisian men in the photo below seem to love the ensemble no? Lol

                         JIL PINEDA bow tie, ZARA shirt, skirt, and shoes, URBAN OUTFITTERS satchel.

                                               Stay tuned for the event photos :D.

                                                                          xoxo!!
