Polyvore: Mint + Magenta
Hello, Pretties!
I can’t believe that it is already March 17th – not because it is St. Patty’s Day, but because today is the day that my boyfriend and I fly to MIAMI! I am so excited.
What are some of your St. Patty’s Day themed Polyvore sets? Leave your links in the comments and I will be sure to check them out! Enjoy your St. Patty’s Day and sport some MINT so you (hopefully) don’t get pinched.
Trending Now: Kimonos
On a recent trip to the mall in LA, I noticed that festival wear is beginning to take over. Every store I passed had some sort of kimono in their window! Not traditional kimonos, but rather the airy, festival-style kimonos that I guarantee you’ve seen on my Pinterest boards as well as in-stores. Kimonos are popular because they can be paired with jeans, leggings, skirts, shorts, dresses, and can even be worn over a swimsuit. They’re feminine and versatile, which makes them a staple in my Spring ’14 wardrobe!
Here are my recent kimono obsessions:
Forever 21 (my favorite, love the blue color!)
What’s your favorite way to wear kimonos? Leave your tips for styling in the comments!
Rainy Day Style in LA
Hello, Pretties!
I am LOVING all of the rain that Los Angeles is getting this weekend! I know it’s dark and gloomy out – but studying for midterms during a weekend of perfect weather just wouldn’t feel right. Plus, the view of downtown from my apartment building is pretty awesome right now with all of the dark clouds behind the buildings!
It’s crucial to have quality pieces to build a rainy day outfit around. My rainy day essentials are all neutrals, which means that they can be paired with a variety of outfits fairly easily. Check out my favorites below!
Enjoy!
Mixed Media Rain Boot, Housecheck
Felix Rey Cityscape Bubble Umbrella
Burberry Brit Havenby Trench Coat
Burberry Brit Kencott Quilted Jacket
DKNY Coat – Double Breasted Trench with Pleather
Jessica Simpson Geo Tweed Swing Peacoat
ASOS Leather Touch Screen Bow Gloves
Pretti Please’s Recent Obsessions!
Hello, Pretties!
Today’s post is all about my February favorites! Enjoy!
1. The Glitter Guide’s DIY section.
I LOVE everything about this site. It is girly, glittery, and informative. I really enjoy their DIY section and check it regularly for new tricks to try! I am definitely going to try the Glittery Heart Tote DIY as soon as my next crafting binge begins!

2. The Givenchy Antigona Leather Satchel
I literally want all of these. Every single color… This may be my new “dream bag.” My personal favorite is the glossy black bag, because it would be the most versatile……or is the metallic gold my favorite? I’ll just take one of each, please.
{All of these are available at Bergdorf Goodman}
3. Ted Baker’s Women’s Line
Last week, I was perusing the Ted Baker women’s collection during class. While thoroughly stalking one of last season’s Ted Baker coats, I noticed two of my girlfriends were also following along on my search for this fab coat…peeking over my shoulder. They agreed, it was to die for. Nothing bonds college girls like the mutual love for a Ted Baker coat…Check out some of Ted Baker’s Women’s line!

4. Anything that is “gold foiled”
I have a newfound obsession for anything that is gold foiled, especially prints. My pinterst is overflowing with trendy gold foiled prints! They are a cute and inexpensive way to add a classy, personal touch to your living space. Check these gold foiled beauties out! {Click on the pictures to find where you can purchase them!}
5. Peplum Jackets
Now, you’re probably wondering which Ted Baker jacket my classmates and I were stalking. It was the Sollel Short Peplum Coat in a dusty pink color that I love (see the picture below!). I can’t find for sale online anymore…it looks like it sold out! Even though my Ted Baker peplum seems to be the “one that got away,” there are still TONS of cute peplum jackets out there. Here are some of my new favorites!
{My favorite: the Ted Baker peplum}
Black Lace Peplum Jacket – Alice + Olivia
Burberry Black Peplum Jacket – Quilted
6. My Winnings from The Crystal Feather Boutique Giveaway!
I was so excited when I opened my goodies from The Crystal Feather Boutique! I am always entering blog giveaways, but have never actually won. I won “Pink Lips & Empty Hearts” by Heather Lindsey, a light pink Essie polish, and a $25 Crystal Feather Boutique gift card (which I used to purchase a beautiful pink + gold sequin hanger!). This shop is absolutely adorable!

7. “BAD INTENTIONS” Remix by Matt DiMona
I usually don’t blog about music, but I am honestly quite obsessed with the “Bad Intentions (Matt DiMona) – Niykee Heaton” remix. Matt DiMona, AKA my boyfriend’s roommate, DJs professionally for many events at USC and in the LA area (Julian and I went to watch him perform at Avalon Hollywood a few weeks ago!). He mixes music in the apartment he shares with Julian and two other guys, which means that we get to hear everything first. His new song “Bad Intentions” received 30,000 plays on soundcloud in the first 3 days! The play count is now up to 38,000 – this song is extremely catchy. He is releasing more songs soon, so be on the lookout. We listened to “Bad Intentions” probably 10 times on the drive to Maegan and Kristen’s going away party this weekend! There may or may not be several Snapchats out there of Julian dancing in the passenger seat to this song…
