Home of the Kings

Hey you don't have to be a die hard fan or anything if you like this look. Unless your dating history included a hockey player or two then you definitely have credibility to throw this, right? Anyhow I have been really into wearing sportswear in the sense that I am a girl's girl and not looking like I'm going to hit the field with the boys at all. Although if I throw on a pair of blades and give me a hockey stick with this shirt dress a girl could get down on the ice. Why the LA Kings as an inspiration? They have an awesome color combo that looks sleek and tough at the same time. And they play for the city I live in. This particular design is based on the team's vintage jersey which I found super awesome that they looked so cool even back then. Love! Which sports team would you want to represent?

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!

Labor Day Trippin Outfit

This weekend my boyfriend and I went to hang out in Catalina Island. Our time there was amazing! Right from the boat ride on the way there. We ran into friends and a coworker, saw a pod of dolphins swimming with waves the boat made behind us, and star gazed over the dark ocean. Then arriving to a welcoming small town night life on a cool shore breeze. Discovering the very next morning on our run along the edge of earth that the water surrounding us is sooo clear you can see everything below! It's so amazing this wonderful place is just a boat ride away from the crowded city of Los Angeles. Why didn't we do this sooner? Well, here's my outfit for this post. The brown polka dots on navy ground is a design of mine from a company I worked at. It's a sheer number suitable for the high temperatures which we were spoiled with on this weekend. I paired the top with some denim shorts and sheer laced thigh highs under a pair of black multi-buckled cut out booties. Not your usual resort or beach attire but I love it nonetheless.

Tutu for you you

I wanted to post my latest project in case anyone would have any sort of interest in what I make for other people. Sometimes I have time to make cute things for my nieces and nephews and this post is about a couple of them. I love dressing them up with stuff I design because they make them look so cute! These glittery tutus were inspired by my adorable spunk of a niece Kalina. I'll update with pictures on my nieces once I get my hands on those. I am mailing the tutus standard shipment, you see. Um, actually they should have received them by now since I mailed handed over the man over the counter a week ago!!

PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!

 I am in love with this concept! So many different versions came up while brainstorming on the idea (by myself). I won't bore you with all of them, only this one... This concept is not suitable for young girls because its suggestive graphics but I definitely think it is something fun I encourage for the mature young ladies (or young at heart) with quirky unapologetic minds. I mean, you just can't care if a few people are offended by a couple of hand prints on a shirt. But really I didn't notice any horrible looks from a single person while wearing this all around Santa Monica with people from all over the world. I live to dress another day:)

OUTFIT: sunglasses; dress barn (yep), earrings, bangle, pearl necklaces; santee alley, purse; ross, top; my print on H&M tee, skirt; H&M, wedge; citadel mall (can't remember store name, eek!)
