Hey stylistas! 

I'm so happy to announce that this is the 1st entry to a new section of my blog. If you wana to know what you got to have in your closet, the lastest trends, or the hottest items to add to your wardrobe, check out Closet Essentials =]  

oh what?! booyah! haha

So 1st up is one of my lastest shoe obsessions. You need to snag yourself a pair of ankle strap heel sandal!!! I have been seeing these heels all over the fashion blog-o-sphere, magazines & lookbooks. I am obseesed with these and even copped me a pair of the Combo Zara heels for an upcoming post! look out for it =]

They're clean, fresh and a great pair of heels to have for Spring/Summer. It's not clunky, nor heavy and its just a great way to spruce up a Spring/Summer outfit!  I think what is great about it, is also the versatility of the heels. You can wear it with boyfriend jeans rolled up, shorts  or even a well tailored pair of pants. Pair it with a cute skirt or a dress  and you'll be ready slay that sidewalk. Work it out!

Green with LOVE

Hey stylistas! 

I have you heard?............the birds the word! bird bird bird! lol just kidding I hope you get my family guy reference. 

Anyways, I did want to say I am loving color this season. I think its a great way to spruce up your wardrobe with your basics and looks great with any neutral garment pieces! Add a splash of color! don't be scared! 

What I am also loving right now is all the cute Skater Dresses! It is a spring MUST HAVE!!!!!!!! Great silhouette for your everyday or a special occasion. This type of dress is crying out to be in your closet. "Come get me!"

It was so fun shooting and styling my friend in this cute green skater dress I bought; pairing it with neutral accessories and shoes. woot!

Spikingly Beautiful

hey guys! woot 3rd post in a row! hopefully I can keep this momentum going! But I'd like to introduce to you guys my wonderful and gorgeous model friend Krissy. follow her on IG(Krissykills) =]  I had purchased some clothes for the blog and we'd been trying to get a photo sesh happen, but when I would be free, she would be busy or when she's free, I would be busy. blargh! Finally after weeks of waiting, we were able to find a day we could meet up and boom! magic. I love this outfit, and so far my fave post to date!

 I think I need to stop saying that, because it seems like I say that about every post. haha

The Fresh Prince(ss) of LA

"Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down." GIRL POWER! Uh-OH, did I do that? WHOA!". If you know what those references are, then you my friend are a 90's baby and we can totally be friends. lol I have to admit, I love being a 90's baby and see that fashion is totally starting to re-image the trends of my childhood into today's style. LOVE IT! So for this post I wanted to showcase something with a 90's feel and fused it with a streetwear sensibility. I def have to thank my friend Camille(love you boo!) for bearing the cold for me. haha She worked it out and was a champion. 

Road to Gold

What what! its a new year! new clothes, fresh style, and more opportunities for dressing to express =] I know I've been a very very bad blogger lately for being M.I.A. and I'm so sorry boo! I would like to give you some fabulous excuse, like I was vacationing for 3 months in Bora Bora with Channing Tatum feeding me chocolate covered strawberries every night, but the super boring reality is, conflicting schedules and just getting caught up in life. I'm just guna go with Bora Bora & Channing Tatum. yes. Channing Tatum.

I dream of bolos

I just can't help but love a good bolo. I mean come on, it's a BOLO! Even the word is fun to say, bolo...bolo. haha and I know it can look pretty ho-key pretty fast, like you just came from seeing bobby ray at the bull riding competition, but like all things, its how you style it and the confidence you radiate while wearing it.

Since its not like you can just get a bolo at your local H&M or Michael Kors,why not create the same effect with a great necklace!

And this can be done with all types of necklaces, just button up your shirt all the way, and just wear the piece under the collar. If you have a bigger collar, you can wear chunkier necklaces. 

BOOM! magic! haha

Denim-holic

Nothing quite like denim to scream Americana to the world. I for one love denim. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! did I mention i love denim? Hi my name is brandon and I'm a denim-holic. 

This outfit is a great transitional ensemble from summer to Winter. I predict denim shirts will be a big trend this fall! I hope, haha Even if its not, it's a great piece to have in your wardrobe, to wear on its own or layer with a leather jacket or even a cozy sweater!
