Vivid Lucid Dream...

On our first day in LA, my boyfriend and I decided to do a little shopping on Melrose! I always love shopping on Melrose because it reminds me a lot of Soho since they have so many little trendy boutiques along with higher end stores. There are also vintage and thrift stores on this ave which are most definitely my fave type of stores. Two of my favorites are Slow and Wasteland. The newest Dash store also opened up on Melrose so it was cool to get a glimpse of their new location. I saw this bag at Urban Outfitters that I absolutely fell in love with. Loved the hardware on it and I really needed a new black bag so it was perfect! While we were walking, we came across this wall that was painted a bright pink and of course it was the perfect background for a photoshoot! hehe Later in the evening we ate at Pink Taco where I had the yummiest lobster enchilada! It was so good and the margaritas were hella strong just the way I like em!

Dress for Less!

Peplum is so big this season in every way! It can compliment any woman's shape because it accentuates the waist and hides any bulge. Kim Kardashian was recently seen in Rome with Yeezy wearing a long sleeve green peplum dress by Lanvin! As I was doing some online browsing/shopping on Go Jane as I always am, I came across this cute peplum green dress that is oh so similar to Kim's! As soon as I laid eyes on it, it reminded me so much of the Lanvin dress she wore in Rome! I love that it's such a perfect color for the fall season and even more perfect for a holiday party. I love finding great pieces for less and Go Jane is my go-to site for this! I like that it's not exactly the same as Kim's and has a longer piece of fabric in the front to add a little extra something different. Gotta love peplum!

Have Fun with Neon!

Neon has been a HUGE trend this year and I can't get enough of it! We have seen it everywhere from clothes to bags and shoes and the trend seems to be staying around for a lonnnng time! Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing this fun neon dress while Jason Wu sent this gorgeous gown down the runway for his Spring 2012 runway show! My faves are neon green and neon pink right now but I just love any shade of it really. If you were rocking it this summer, you can definitely incorporate those summer pieces into your fall wardrobe like I did with my neon green sweater from Forever 21! Don't be color shy and have fun this season by adding some serious color to your wardrobe!

The Denim Jacket!

I have always been in love with denim jackets! You can wear them in the Spring and Fall and they go perfect with almost anything. They add a cool factor to your outfit and what's best is you can add studs and pins or even rip them up to turn them into your own little DIY project. Kanye West and Kate Lanphear are obviously fans of denim and who wouldn't be with so many variations of the trend. They come in so many different shades and you can find them everywhere. A few years ago I purchased a denim jacket in a light wash from H&M that I'm still obsessed with and wear all the time. Shortly after I purchased it I saw photos of Kim Kardashian with the exact same jacket on! My most recent denim purchase as you can see on the bottom left in the photo was from the Salvation Army thrift store for only 2 dollars! It's a darker blue and says Planet Hollywood on the back and looks really old school just the way I like it ;) Proof that you can find a good denim jacket anywhere!

Fun Fall Trend: Varsity Jackets!

Varsity jackets are a timeless piece in my opinion. I absolutely love them and think they add a cool factor to any oufit! Kim was recently seen wearing one at the Louise Goldin Spring 2013 fashion show at Milk Studios in New York City. She wore it with heels of course and that's exactly how I have worn mine before! You can also wear them with sneakers, flats, brogues, and oxfords as well. Taylor Swift was recently seen in one and my personal favorite fashion editor Miroslava Duma has also been spotted wearing one! I own a varsity jacket in navy blue and white that I purchased last fall in a size small in the men's section of H&M in LA and I definitely plan to throw it on this fall. If you can't find a female one in your size, you can always buy a men's one in a size small and I promise you it will look perfect! Urban Outfitters has great varsity jackets for both men and women and make sure to check out Forever 21 for plenty of inexpensive options! Thrift stores and vintage shops always carry these kinds of jackets as well if you're looking for something special that probably only you will have! The last time I was in LA, American Vintage on Melrose Ave had tons of them and the Salvation Army and Goodwill here in NY are sure to carry a few!

Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber for Elle Mag.

This video is from last year but I love watching it. Benjamin Sturgill did an incredible job styling Kim and I'm not even going to get into her matte red lips. She needs to dress like this more often and just watching her frolic in the water in that Vera Wang dress is more than a good enough reason to watch it haha. The shoot appeared in the September 2010 issue of Elle and the photos came out beautiful. I still have the issue and I am sooo saving it!
