petite, fabulous, and broke

PETITE: I love to tuck shirts into mid rise pants rather than high rise since my torso is short and I want less attention to my bust. More attention is drawn to my waist to give me a slight hourglass shape. Belts are ESSENTIAL to tucking shirts into mid rise pants.

FABULOUS: I love the way luxe fabrics feel against the skin. My favorite is silk, since it is so breathable yet strong. 

Usually I am very biased against using totes as an actual handbag. The shape is so plain and there is no real style to them. Longchamp has a great shape to their totes and the material is high quality!

The Sperry loafers are my favorite flat shoes! I fell in love with them at Nordstrom's anniversary sale. They were definitely worth the investment for the great workmanship, material, and comfortable padding. I love wearing these from day to night.

BROKE: Bangles are making a comeback! F21 has the cheapest ones, from $5-$7!

My necklace was a gift from my grad party last year. I love mixing delicate clothing with tough details. For example, my smooth free-flowing top is the opposite of my gunmetal spike necklace. I call accessories like these "curve balls." Love them!

I hope you enjoyed this post! This beach is a little piece of me, since I have been a beach baby all my life. Thanks to my BFF, Luke Villapaz for these pictures and my friend Jannahlyn for the creative direction (I am the worst model without her, haha). I always like trying new things for each shoot. I realize I am still a noob in the blogging world and I am still figuring things out. Thank you all for the kind words and support!
