Styling on a Budget

If you are anything like me you love to save money. When I go shopping I head directly to sales or clearance. The following stores never let me down when it comes to sales such as: Forever21, Wet Seal, H&M, Zara, and MissGuided. Lately I have been searching Aliexpress and Ebay to find me a great vendor to shop from. I know you like DO NOT SHOP FROM CHINA!!, but you would be surprised what American based boutiques get their clothing from china. Once I get a reliable vendor I will make a blog post for you all. Back to the post Ha-ha "Styling On a Budget" is very easy and to help you out I will share some outfit inspiration from some of the stores above. I will try my hardest to keep everything under $150

SHOP THIS LOOK
H&M Coachella / H&M Slim fit trouser / Yesstyle Lace jacket / GoJane Open toe sandals / She In Shoulder bag handbag / Forever 21 chains jewelry / Forever 21 twist ring / Forever 21 glasses

This first outfit is for the music and art festival Coachella. It is very casual but sassy. You can easily add a pair of heels for a night out or sneakers which ever fit your personal style. This whole look comes to a total of $102.

SHOP THIS LOOK 

Fioforma White tee / Zara high-rise shorts / Converse black sneaker / Zara genuine leather bag / Clarie's Rainbow earrings / Urban Outfitters Tattoo choker necklace,  / Topshop sport hat,  / Chicnova Fashion lightweight eyeglass

I am in love with this so much that it is a must I purchase it. This is screaming 90's with the old school choker and grandpa hat Ha-ha. I would wear this on a day out with my girls or shopping. This outfit comes to the total of $156. A little bit over our budget, but having that bag was a must.

SHOP THIS LOOK

Topshop crop shirt,  / Romwe Cotton maxi skirt / Gojane Black lace up booties / Nike footwear / Romwe Zipper purse / Charlotte russe necklace / Pori white earrings /  / Uv protection sunglasses

I have always wanted to go for the dressy sporty look ,but thought I would look crazy. Being that it is 2016 and It fits into my personal style I think I am going to try it. All of the black plus a top bun screams chic. If you do not want to wear the heels the sneakers will look great with it also. All together this outfit is $228 why? because of the sneakers Ha-ha, but if you already own some sneakers that saves you a lot\.

If you buy any of these items or the whole outfit please let me know. You can comment below or email me pictures.I would love to see some of these come to life. I hope you guys enjoy

Trench Coat + Sneakers | Youtube Channel

Hello Beauties <3 Guess what happen yesterday? I started my very own YouTube channel which only took 3 years ha-ha. I am so proud of myself, I set a goal and I accomplish that goal. I told myself I would not let me OCD get in the way of my YouTube channel. I have been talking to my husband nonstop about recording a video. So this past Sunday we did just that. We made it a family affair. My husband, the boys, and I headed to the spot that I have been eyeing to shoot at.

My Attire For Fashion Week + Street Style

Hello Beauties <3 This time around I got to show my style and it felt great. I like to think of myself as a fashionable person and then again to others It may be simple. But that is it I love looking simple, so my beautiful face can shine through ha-ha. No, really I find myself enjoying plain pieces. I would not say I am a true minimalist because I can not give up my statement pieces. I did not get to attend all of fashion week, but I did enjoy myself and had a blast dressing up. I really wish I got good pictures of all of my outfits, however you will get to see them in my vlog ( will be up soon.) So to make this post somewhat lengthy I will share some street style also. I hope you enjoy. 

Day One: Sporty Dress

 (sorry for the quality of this photo I only brought my cell phone the first day <3)

Day Four: Tokyo Fashion Week A/W 16

Good Day Beauties <3 Day Four of Tokyo fashion week was the final day I got to attend and once again I say I am very blessed to attend this season. I did not get to attend day three because I was late, day five because my husband did not feel too well, and day six and seven because I was spending time with my family. Day four designers consist of Motohiro Tanji by Motohiro Tanji, Theatre Products  by Akira Takeuchi & Miwa Morita, and In-Process by Yurika Ohara & Steven Hall. There were more shows offsite and some later that day, but I did not attend because mama got tired Ha-ha.

Day Two: Tokyo Fashion Week A/W 16

Good Day Beauties =) It is day two of Tokyo fashion week and I got an invitation to all fashion shows today. It felt great to actually wake up early and head to Shibuya for the shows. All of my adult life I have seen myself working in the fashion industry. Laidee Tam was made just so I would not lose focus of my dreams. Fashion week is opening me up to many more opportunities. Divka , Nguyen Con Tri, and Hanae Mori manuscirt are the name of the brands from today runway shows.

Day One: Tokyo Fashion Week A/W 16

Hello Beauties <3  This week is fashion week here in Tokyo and I am blessed to be attending again this season. Last season I was on pin and needles to see each and every show, but I was so unprepared. I was pregnant and pushed myself to the point where I only got to attend two days because I was sore in bed. (please mom do not read this) This year I feel like I am prepared and can dress the way I want to Ha-ha.

Day Three: Fashion Week Tokyo

Day three of fashion week and I got to attend each runway show today. Talk about super excited. I have to tell myself over and over it is not a dream. After looking and following so many American designers it was a breath of fresh air seeing fashion at a new angle.

Day Two: Fashion Week Tokyo

Hello My Beauties !!!! I got to attend day two of Fashion Week Tokyo and I had so much fun. After being invited three years straight and not going. I knew this year would be my year ha-ha. I was so confused as what I should and should not wear. I know being preggo it was going to be very hard for me to wear heels.

Top Colors for Fall Fashion 15'

Each season comes with new trends and colors. I came across this site called Pantone they are the gurus of colors. They come up with the ten colors for that season and publish a report. The Fashion Color Report Fall 2015  tells you about the colors, designers, and more. After reading the report I begin to put together some outfits based on each color. Out of ten colors I am only going to share five + outfit inspirations. You can add or take away items to make it fit your personal style. I hope you enjoy.

Zaful

Hello My beauties, I'm back and with a great new site to check out Zaful. I'm a big fan of trendy pieces for adorable prices this site has that plus more. I'm still trying to find my personal style and I believe this site is going to be my go-to site once I start to revamp my wardrobe. Why? because I am falling in love with Zaful. Every time I check it out they have new arrivals and different sales.  They also have a wide selection of dresses you can choose from  maxi dresses, lace dresses, printed dresses and etc..

Goodbye Winter Hello Spring

I know I'm not the only one who is ready for this Spring weather. This winter was harsh snow + wind do not mix well. I can not wait to combine these trends with my personal style. Fashion week gave me a few ideas of what I will see the coming spring/summer. I'm surprise because some trends are returning from 2012-2014, but some trends just never go out of style.

Are you ready for Winter?

The cold nights are turning into days. It's now time to pull out your wool and cashmere sweaters. Before winter arrives, make sure you have the basic essentials to survive a trendy winter. Here goes my winter essentials and outfit inspirations to help you prepare for winter.  I hope you enjoy.

Top 5 Spring 2014 Fashion Trends

This spring you will see a different style from your Fashion Idols. I looked over all the spring collections from fashion week and I'm in love with these trends. I can't wait to do my Spring Lookbook. Make sure you add a few to your spring collection.

November Wish List

Hello My Beauties!!! I'm in desperate need of new clothes and shoes for this fall/winter. If we are friends on Facebook you are well aware of this but if you’re not here you go.
