my favorite piece from my FAVE current designer: Michael Costello

he's my favorite designer right now. i am absolutely in love with his designs and outfits. they're all low-cut, flowy and very sexy but classy. i would wear practically everything in his collection. i die. completely inspired by mr. costello.

my Project Ethos outfit:

pants: lush clothing
shoes: bakers
belt: luna b
clutch: LJS brand top: thrift - major steal, FYI.

FashionWeekLA has been pretty awesome so far and i'm glad i got the opportunity to be a part of it. stay tuned for my next fashion week adventures!

ladies, stay inspired and find a style that works for you. after all, "girls do not dress for boys. they dress for themselves, and of course, each other. if girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked at all times." - betsey johnson

dress to impress,

SPRING FLING

OOTD:

deets:
top: cotton on
bottom & necklace: h&m
clutch: LJS brand
shoes: f21

spring is here and colors are IN! this season, don't be afraid to mix in bright colors and neons with your outfits. floral pants might be a little extreme for some, but you can always opt for colored denim instead of the crazy printed ones. have fun with fashion and explore your personal style!

taste the rainbow,

MANI MONDAY: MIRRORED

you don't know this but i've been looking for these stick ons for the LONGEST time! i'm loving the new mirrored nails look. at first i thought it was a polish, but it turns out it's the same thing as the sally hansen stick ons but way easier to apply. anyhow... don't the look so cute?! totally kinda impressed that i pulled it off myself. i really suck at doing my own nails so this was pretty. cool. if i can do it, anyone can.

ok, so. it's called metallic nails by nail bliss and it's a pretty self-explanatory process. the only time consuming process is that you have to file each individual nail to fit yours. well... maybe it only took forever because i can't do nails! anyways. it lasts up to 5 days and is way cheaper than getting them done at the shop. stay tuned for more of my nail files!

happy monday!
