I got the "Blues!"

Hello Gorgeous people!!!

So I put this outfit together thinking that my top was the right blue for the pantone color serenity but when I edited the pictures I realized it's too light and more of a pastel blue compared to serenity. So it leaves me feeling "blue" about my outfit but I liked how it came out so I'm sharing it with you! 

Summer Breeze

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great week! I'm pretty sure everyone is happy it's the weekend once again. The weather has been nice here in California not too hot and a little bit of breeze outside. This is the kind of weather I like because it's so nice outside.

If you've been following my blog you probably know by now that I like to wear bright colors just like this top. I got this orange top last year when tangerine tango was the pantone color of the year. It's the first orange top I've ever had because orange really isn't one of my favorite colors. But I felt like I needed to add new colors in my closet and why not get one in the color of the year. I'm really glad I got this shirt now because I'm really loving bright colors this summer and I'm happy that I have to shirt to wear. 

Here's a close up of my necklace, I really liked it because it really looks art deco to me and I love jewelry that have an art deco feel to them. The other necklace I got is also has an art deco feel to it as well. You will see that necklace in an upcoming post. :) 

The necklace that I'm wearing is something I stumbled on at the swamp meet. I've mentioned before on my blog that I usually go with my mom to the swap meet because she goes there to buy vegetables and when I go with my mom I always find some cool things when I go. Plus everything is really cheap and you can always haggle with them as well and this necklace is one of those things cool things I've found at the swap meet. I got this necklace and another that was two for $5 and hey that's a great deal for me because these kind of necklaces usually go for a lot more individually. Don't you just love a great deal? Where are your go to places to find a great deal? 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ~Nina~

Something Different

Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a great weekend. So I was really inspired by the girls that do Marvelous Mondays (Goodbye Hollywood, Fat Fashionable Feminist, Cheri'z Angel and style luvin, and two other girls) I love the concept that they have to dress up on Monday's to make the day less of a hated day. If you haven't checked them out, click the links and check them out! :)  But yeah their theme last week was to wear something that they have trouble styling. I thought this was such a great thing because I have a number of pieces in my closet that I have trouble styling.  

One of the most challenging pieces in my closet is this kimono style jacket from H&M. I bought this 2 years ago and I have only worn it once, I bought it for a friends wedding because when I saw it I loved the colors and I was happy something from H&M fit me because it's kinda rare I find things that fit me. But yeah I wore it as a jacket for my friends wedding but i actually didn't even like the way it looked but I had no choice because it was the only jacket I brought to the wedding, so the only reason why I wore it was because I had no choice. So I thought of exactly this jacket in my closet when I saw what the girls theme last Monday. 

 

So this is how I styled the jacket, really simple with some forever 21+ jeans and a black tank from old navy. I wore it with my boots that I got from the swap meet and a mixture of jewelry that I've gotten from different places. I'm not sure if I really like the way it came out but I think its ok. 

Here's a closer look of my jewelry, the watch is from Target and the bracelets are from different stores I'm not too sure about. I was having a bad hair day and my go to accessory for my hair is a headband, if you saw my old blog I was obsessed with headbands, and a lot of the headbands I own I have made including this one. 

The last picture is my doggy Mocha and me, I think she was getting jealous and wanted to be in the pictures so i decided to let her be in one! :)

Have a wonderful day ~ Nina ~ 

LA day

Hey everyone! So I had a little trip to LA with some of my friends recently, it was nice to go to LA because I haven't been there in awhile. I went with a friend that had to do something there, so we made it a little LA day with friends. 

Our first stop was the Grove, This is where all my pictures where taken because it was such a nice day. Thank you to my friends that took my pictures, I'm really thankful that they are so supportive of me doing this blog. On another note this picture to the right was taken of me next to the trolley that goes around the Grove. It was stopped to pick up some passengers and my friends that it would be nice for me to take pictures in front of it. I was hesitant but they convinced me to do it and we had to do it fast because they were almost done loading all the passengers. Here is one of the pictures we took and although I liked the others I think this was the best one that was taken. I especially like how you can see my necklace, I just got it recently. It was from the swap-meet and I know not a lot of people don't think of shopping at swap-meets but I think they are great places to find unique and cheap things. I think of them as smaller versions of flea markets.

It was a really nice day in LA, the sun was shining but it was a little bit chilly because the wind was blowing. I'm glad I wore some tights, although I'm not sure about the color of tights I chose they helped keep me warm.

Here's a picture of me and my friends, they are the ones that helped me take the pictures. Thanks for your help girls! :) Right behind us they had picture taking with the Easter bunny and we really wanted to take some but the line was so long that we decided not to. 

We ended our LA day trying a place called MILK there known for there macron ice cream sandwiches. But by the time we got there they were almost all out of the sandwiches so my friends opted for ice cream but since I really wanted to try what they are known for I got the coffee toffee ice cream sandwich and let me tell you it was pretty yummy! :) 

Have a wonderful day ~ Nina ~
