Lately I've had some intensely packed weeks filled with mostly work, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Working in a field in which you have such intense passion is really the way to give back and feel fulfilled when it comes to your job. Whoever said that your daydream can't somehow become your day-job didn't look far enough into the future! Petals and Peacocks is a great example of how passion and dedication can be combined to create something notably unique. With their clever designs and comfortably distressed pieces, it easily became one of my go-to brands when I first discovered them and it's truly an honor that my friends at Petals chose me to style some of my favorite Spring 2015 pieces, like this Cat Naps tank!


I love this destroyed tank because it is just so soft and cheeky! As a music lover there's nothing better than this witty little number, and as the master of all cat naps it was way too fitting for me to turn down. My friend recently dubbed me "Nappsie Hustle" due to my habit of taking numerous quick cat naps in 15 minute intervals, a consequence that became a constant of mine after taking on two and a half working gigs plus a full-time blog... all while still trying to juggle at least somewhat of a social life as well.

What I love about Petals and Peacocks is how easily they can be incorporated into any sort of outfit. In this case I chose to dress the muscle tank down so as to play on the lazy, cat nap aspect of the top by pairing the tank with a pair of loose scalloped black shorts that I picked up during one of my many trips visiting my best friend at the Forever at the Beverly Center sometime last year. I tied it all together with my Jeffrey Campbell cut-out boots to dress it up just a tiny notch. I also added on my Breezy Excursion bucket hat for any sort of messy nap-induced hair.

For those unfair-weather days when you have a million things to do, yet you still want to comfortably strut your stuff, what do you usually gravitate towards in your closet? Comfy knits are normally my go-to, and mixing patterns and textures always keeps things interesting. One of my key pieces I use to establish that look is my favorite crop sweater from Tobi.


Though my heart still remains deep in LA, I currently reside in South SF where I swear Karl the Fog must have his primary estate, because it is almost always dull and cold out. Because of this, layers have become my new best friend. I love the On The Go Crop Sweater because it can be dressed up or down and in this case I decided to dress it down with the So Hood Tunic Top from Tobi layered on top for added warmth and comfort.

It's always fun to push some boundaries to see what you can get away with and this is especially true for fashion. After mixing some knits and a light wash jegging, I decided to add my little black suede booties with some gold detailing and just a touch of leopard to the recipe. They helped make the look less bland and a notch above lazy.


We decided to shoot this casual look in an environment to match, and what better place than my own spot?! I'm pretty sure that the Darth Vader throw blanket somewhat gave it away. But there's really nothing more casual than multitasking with some Netflix at home in your comfiest threads.

The funny part is though the phone shots might look slightly staged, they were actually complete candids caught while I was trying to switch up the tunes. It was also a little fun to add in little personal trinkets into the shots like my personalized Moleskine and this amazing book on "Dogs with Old Man Faces" that a good friend gifted me. A short but hilarious read I'd definitely recommend because pooches with old-man face are way too cute to resist.


As a lady hustler with a 24/7 rather than a "9-5," being able to utilize my personal space in the most productive way possible is always a struggle, and one that I hope I've had the edge on lately. With a mixed palette of tasks to juggle, I'm literally almost always working even when I'm technically "off" the clock.

With all of this in mind, this is most likely the position you'll find me in when you visit me at my spot: surrounded by my endless lists of things to get done, all while trying to maintain some entertainment in my life so as not to go crazy while keeping so busy!


I hope you guys have been enjoying my personal style stories, and my one true desire is that these posts have helped inspire you in some way as well. However, moving forward I definitely want to add just a little bit of spice to my posts rather than just simple outfit details, so be sure to keep checking back every week, and thanks again for staying tuned.

Loyalty, hard-work ethic, and family. Those are the top three things that come to mind when it comes to Breezy Excursion, and one of the reasons why it was impossible for me to say no to a collaboration. Breezy Excursion was bred in San Jose just as I was and their clothing screams a certain kind of confidence. Since I do love myself some menswear and the brand has a bit more emphasis on men's clothing than women's, I was stoked to switch things up a little and borrow from the boys for this look.


Honestly I've pretty much outworn both these pieces in a variety of ways since I received them. The plaid shirt is so freaking comfortable and versatile, and the bucket hat is such an easy and effortless way to get away with messy hair or just add a little flavor to an outfit.

Though I did get a few stares with this look since it's really just a men's shirt styled as a dress rather than an actual longer tunic, it wasn't many more than I'm used to haha. But then again if you're not breakin' any necks, you need to up your fashion game. Don't worry though I was definitely wearing shorts underneath! I'd wear the shirt this way for a casual day of errands or a sunny day out. I've also worn it to the office paired with a flared scuba skirt for a more refined look.

I love that Breezy is a brand that isn't afraid to get a little explicit with it. They're loud and proud and this is displayed throughout their clothing with bold messages and styles. They've also had a number of dope collabs such as their latest collection that's dropped with Sick Wid It Records.

One element of this shirt I really dig is the preacher collar. It definitely makes it unique from all the other basic flannels out there and adds that little somethin-somethin'. To be honest the collar even makes it one of the few shirts that I'd actually button up all the way since it's not as claustrophobic.


Though this simple look could have been paired with just about any pair of kicks and still look good, I decided to go with my timbs to keep that street style vibe going. Since the entire fit was black and white, it also helped add a minimal pop of color.

I had the opportunity to shoot with Melissa de Mata recently which is where this lovely set came from. I love collaborating with new people because it's so dope to see the results when you are working with each individual and their own distinct perspective and artistic voice. I was both surprised and honored when Melissa reached out to me since she truly is a sorceress at utilizing natural light to really capture her subject, and she has a flawlessly unique creative eye. Be sure to check out her website and blog!


If there's one thing Breezy Excursion teaches us it's that you shouldn't be afraid to get a little loud with your personal style. Even with fashion, rules are made to be broken. Personal style is my favorite form of art and storytelling, and brands like Breezy really lead the way for a more open-minded form of self-expression. So break all the rules you want in your own fashion and f*ck the rest! We the best.

Though I'm definitely a California girl through and through, there's no denying my Texan roots. I was born in Austin and spent a good amount of my elementary years in the dirty South, and I still have a lot of fond memories tied to the place. I even considered going to my oldest sister's alma mater UT Austin for college, but instead decided to stay loCal. With all this in mind it was only fitting to do a little Longhorn's rootin' look for y'all!


I absolutely love this mesh jersey from Victoria's Secret PINK! It's reversible and the opposite side is the rust orange color with 'Texas' in white writing. I love sporting this for a casual look or dressing it up with a skirt for a more refined street-style approach.

For this look I wore a little lace periwinkle bralette from a shop off Melrose under my jersey paired with my favorite Topshop Jamie Moto Jeans. I love Topshop because they have the ripped jeans down perfectly, the quality is great and I love that they've been trying to widen the petites section as well! These jeans are so comfy with a snug fit and ankle cut, and I got them from the Topshop in The Grove so I have a nice little LA memory tied to them as well.


It's no secret that I love leopard and that my leopard Vans are my go-to comfy everyday shoes. I will literally put together outfits based off my shoes at times because I just love 'em that damn much. In this case however they luckily fit the look anyway since I had my distressed UNIF Leopard Leaf Sweater tied around my waist.  It also helped maintain the casual slightly sporty look that I had going on.



Fun lil fact: I have most of A$AP Rocky's songs memorized to the dot. He's def one of my faves, and it only helps that he's been influenced with some Texan swagger.

As always, thanks for clicking back on to the blog. I had such an amazing shoot this past Friday and hopefully I can share some of those shots with y'all soon as well, so be sure check back on the blog and follow me on Instagram for sneak peeks!
