Man O man time flies!
Where the hell did 2016 go? I don't even know where the past couple months went... It felt like Halloween and Thanksgiving was all in one day. Haha!
You really have to live each day to the fullest to get the most out of the year because I swear it was just January. Now it's Hello 2017! :)
Well one thing I can't complain about is this Cali weather! The best weather in town! (most of the time haha) Makes waking up to get dressed easier especially with all this crazy holiday shopping. Just throw on a tank with some pants/skirt and tie a long sleeve around the waist just in case it gets chilly. Spice it up with some funky lipstick and jewelry and you're set to take on the holidays in style!
Just please don't be that person holiday shopping in pajama bottoms. And if you are then good for you, but don't read my blog...(I'm typing that in the nicest way I can haha)
Happy Holidays! :)

Pops of pink and a shirt tied around the waist. It's the little details that create style. A simple skirt from Kmart became the main piece to this outfit then it was built from there.
I'm obsessed with tying things around my waist. Such a 90's trend and it may not be for everyone, but don't knock something you haven't tried. It's a cute and grungy addition to any outfit.

And the award goes to my hair stylist, Claudia Santacruz!
She has done an amazing job from the first day I met her to now. She just moved to a new location in downtown Whittier and I highly suggest you folks book an appointment, like now! :)

Also look her up on Yelp! :)
These shoes though! How funky are these bad boys? A few weeks back Forever 21 was having a buy one get one free on their clearance and these beauties were part of it. Simply chic...
Pro: I feel so futuristic wearing them
Con: The bottom of them are so slippery I almost ate shit...
Quick Fix! Scuff the soles yourself! Walk around on rough surfaces such as concrete, gravel and rocks. Wearing your soles down can improve your traction, especially with new shoes. Or just purchase sole grippers from your local Target/Walmart and stick them on the bottom. Wham Bam Shazam! Your first world problem is solved...
This little dead end road is such a wasteland filled with beauty. Its crazy how spots like these can have so much character yet be a reminder of how we need to become more aware of our planet. Trash, trash and more trash...
The view over the city is spectacular though. This is where we hang at night on Fourth of July for fireworks. Prime location with no idiots, close to home and you can sip on a tasty drink :)
I bought this black tank at Urban Outfitters on clearance for $4.99. It has a waffle type texture to it and it hooks all the way down. It has such character to it although it's so basic. At first I disliked it, but as I tried it on and did the whole mirror twirl in the fitting rooms it grew on me.
Obviously I'm not very busty up top haha so that was another pro to this tank because it gives the illusion that I actually have a little something something up top ;) *Wink Wink*
Pink is such a hard lipstick color to shop for! I'm not even sure if I'm digging this shade of pink, but I wanted to try it out. I bought this from NYX and it's their Velvet Matte Lipstick called Miami Nights. I love how smooth it went on for it being an actual lipstick instead of a wand to apply on. It stayed on and even stained my lips after taking it off. Now that's a true stain.
