Radiant in the Rain

Does rainy weather put a damper on your style? Don't let it! Let your styling outfit bring sunshine on gloomy days! I'm glad you've come to see how I styled rain boots! With a few simple tips, you'll be on your way to bringing sunshine in everyone's way on rainy days!

First of all, if you don't own a pair of rain boots, I would highly recommend you get a pair. You can use them when its rainy or snowy without sacrificing your style.

 Here are 3 tips to take into consideration when buying rain boots:

1. Make sure the boots are really water proof…believe it or not, some rain boots are not water proof and are solely for aesthetics.
2. Don't be afraid to get a bright color! It doesn't matter what color you choose because the rain boots can be used as the accent of an outfit. I would however suggest getting a solid color as opposed to a pattern because you can match more with it. 
3. Some rain boots are really poorly made and will deteriorate fast so I suggest spending a little more for a better quality pair. Also, when well taken care of, they'll last even longer :)

Need some help? I found some here, here, and here!

You can wear rain boots with skirts and dresses! Just because it's raining doesn't mean you are restricted to wearing only pants or jeans…the next time the weather calls for rain boots, try styling them with a dress!!

 If you do opt for a more neutral color for rain boots, add some color to your outfit through colored jeans or other accent accessories

Rain boots can be worn no matter what season it is! Wether it's cold and rainy or warm and gloomy, rain boots can be styled to fit any weather condition or occasion!

 My siblings wanted to join in on the fun…all together minus one :)

A Life Full of Love

Valentine's Day--the day of love. Can you feel the love in the air?! I love holidays, but don't wait for a holiday to show people how much you love & appreciate them. I love how my dad doesn't think Valentine's day is a big deal, because he wants to make my mom feel like a queen every day.

For this post, I thought I'd share with you the things I love most along with my Valentine's inspired outfits.

 I love my family. They mean the world to me and it makes me happy that I get to spend eternity with them.

 I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The beliefs and standards in it have helped shape me into the person I am today.

 I love fashion. There's no better way to express yourself and your style than through fashion. 

I love basketball. I can't play any sports but I love watching them! Especially my Dallas Mavericks! MMFL! 

I love school. Yeah it sounds a little weird…but this generation is lucky to live in a time where anyone can earn an education to become whatever they want. Through hard work, anything is possible.

 I love getting straight A's. It's the Asian coming out of me, but I just can't help it. There's no better feeling. 

I love singing and jamming out. It's another great way to express yourself, escape, and relax. 

 I love shoes. Heels, wedges, ballet flats, boots, sandals--you name it, I love them all, especially heels though. Gotta love an added three or four inches to my height!

I love sewing. There's just such a sense of accomplishment when I finish an article of clothing or I'm able to repair something. (Great money saver too)

I love modesty. You can tell how much someone values themselves by how they're dressed. None of that trashy foolishness. 

I love laughing. It's my favorite thing. So bring on the corny jokes and awkward situations. 

I love pink and all things sparkly. They're just so pretty.

I hope you've enjoyed getting to know me better through the things I love. I challenge you to use this day to think about what you love! 

Coming up on the blog: Is rainy weather putting a damper on your desire to dress up? I'll be styling rain boots to show you different ways to dress when its rainy or snowy out!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Do you want to see something specific on my blog? Don't know how to do this or that? Leave a comment and it could be my next post!

Thanks again!

Cute Meets Comfy

You slept through your alarm, you have a million things to complete on your to-do list, everything's not going as planned, and the harsh weather outside isn't helping. It's definitely a rough morning. Wouldn't rolling out of bed and conquering the world in your pjs sound like the most appealing thing ever? They're just soo comfortable and you just don't have enough time to dress up.

Well, I think we've all had mornings like this! Let me help you out.

The fabulous Tom Ford once said, "Dressing well is a form of good manners." 

So let's pull it together and show people our good manners! In this post, I'll show you how to dress cute without much effort. 

Tip #1:

One of my favorite things to do--layer! Use embellished sweaters to make up for accessories and throw a vest on top! I paired this olive green embellished sweater with the most comfy black jeggings I own and pulled out my old Chuck Taylors. 

 This embellished sweater is from Forever 21

Tip #2:

Throw on a fleece zip up!  I love fleece…so much. It's so comfy and it keeps you super warm without too many layers. This outfit is a lot more casual but it's better than just wearing a t-shirt. Style with an accent infinity scarf and you're set to go!

 I picked up this oh so fabulous zip up from Old Navy for five dollars

Tip #3:

Dress up plain sweaters with accessories like necklaces! This magenta sweater is comfier than it looks! I got it at H&M

 This chunky gold necklace dresses up the sweater making the outfit sweet & simple

Texas pride :)

Well, let's be honest, some mornings, you don't even have the energy to think about putting an outfit together…so rather than changing, cover up. Literally.

Tip #4:

Simply cover up comfy pj tops or whatever you want under a statement coat/jacket. No one will ever know ;)

example one:

 I love this purple leather jacket!

 Wait for it...

BAM!

I found this gem of a shirt in the back of my closet. I purposely picked a shirt like this to show you that you can mask it! 

 example two:

 sportin an old high school tee underneath

shhh your secret's safe with me!

example three:

Showing some school spirit for the best high school ever. iVivan los lobos! I loved being a part of Spanish Honor Society. And I love this fashion shortcut.

So the next time you find yourself in a rough morning situation, I hope some of these tips will be useful! Thanks for visiting! Come back soon to see my Valentines Day inspired outfits!
