January weather, really?

I cannot believe the weather in January here in Southern California. Everywhere else north east of us have been forecasting the ice caps and I am doing a post with light layers focused on this fringe owl number and stretchy lace leggings I designed. So there you go!

Updated Lao Top

My older sister gave me this wonderful green and gold Lao woven pattern fabric to make into an updated top wearable to the temple service or on a night out. The peplum shape is youthful as well as flattering for most body types. The exposed zipper gives it a modern touch. You can wear it with a sleek dress short or a pencil skirt but for this post I chose to go with black liquid leggings. Last post I tried to give details of the shoes I was wearing but I thought lighting could have been better so here they are in detail again!

Cross My Heart, For Real

Happy Lao New Year! And Thai New Year, and Cambodian New Year! This post has nothing to do with me celebrating my heritage (Lao'd and proud!)... I just wanted to throw it out there since I didn't get to do anything culturally fun to celebrate this holiday. Maybe next year I'll be luckier. I'm far from everyone who would really know the importance of it is my excuse. So, to make use of my time, here's another post! I vamped up this neon yellow sweater with faux leather cross patches on the front and elbows because I felt the sweater was too much of an electric blob just plain. AND I made the MOST comfortable leggings EVER! The material is so soft and light I need to make more and more in different prints! You can never have too many leggings. Look at my matte grey-green nails!!

Leggy Ladies

Spring is just around the corner. To embrace the spirit, I designed and created two very comfortable and fun leggings. I used stretch material for comfort, and beautiful lace designs to fit into this season's trend. An updated look was given to the stirrup style by extending the hem to the foot. This is also great for the over-all silhouette because it elongates your legs at the same time! Yay! Provided are two looks for how you might wear them.

Look one; teal: is fun and casual for going

out with the girls. We put a simple white

racer back tank with a print and a pair of

white platform mary-janes.

Look two; taupe: is sexy for cocktail

parties or a night out dancing. We put on

a vintage sequenced bat-wing top and

strappy black heels.
