A couple of post back, I shared with you a casual beach date in collaboration with Lucky Brand. Today I am sharing with you a fancier occasion. As much as we love being in touch with nature, Mark and I can also appreciate dressing up and going to the movies and concerts. Since we both have a sweet tooth, we stopped by La Tropézienne on La Brea for some of our favorite French pastries before heading to the movies. Not only does this heart shaped macaron with raspberries and cream filling look good, it also tastes good! LA has cooled down a bit with the rain lately and this blush pink teddy coat is just perfect for gloomy days! I paired it with a dotted blouse, black denim and haircalf booties, and a cute circle bag. Mark is wearing a speckled button up (I love this on him) and a pair of pearl gray skinny jeans. And lastly, if you haven't checked out my post over on the Lucky Insider Blog, you should totally do that!

This year, Mark and I are so excited to celebrate our first Valentine's Day together that we teamed up with Lucky Brand to share with you some of our favorite date ideas in LA!

You can see my post over on their Lucky Insider Blog here.

If you and your significant other love being outside and celebrate in a more casual way, sunset on the beach can never go wrong. Although Santa Monica and Venice Beach are popular, these spots can be quite crowded and packed with tourists. I suggest going a little south to Playa del Rey where the beach is just as nice but it's much more low key and private. For this casual day look, I am wearing a cute embroidered peasant blouse, skinny jeans, and this amazing floral trim wool hat... Because you know, the beach gets windy and I gotta keep that hair off my face when I go in for a smooch! As for Mark, he is wearing a soft knit top, corduroy jeans and these super cool olive suede leather boots. Whether you are celebrating Valentine's Day or Galentine's Day, I hope it's a fun and memorable one!

I grew up feeling very uncomfortable in my own skin where I thought I was too short and my chest was too small, starting at a very young age. And it certainly did not help that I was raised in the Asian culture where encouragement usually comes in the form of harsh criticism. Although things have evolved a great deal, body image and bullying continue to be an issue in today's society. Not going to lie, I once thought about getting implants (luckily that thought lasted for a day) and it took me a long time to finally feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. To celebrate this personal milestone, I teamed up with Natori to uplift women while encouraging body positivity and diversity. Natori is luxuriously crafted in its own unique way and there is something suitable for every size and shape. My two favorites are the Feather Bra in caramel and the Flora Bra in black/light mocha. The delicate lace detail is so beautiful and they fit like a dream. Feeling confident is all about embracing who you are... So just do you, be you and feel awesome about the amazing person that you are!

Yesterday I showed you how I wore my Lucky Brand Bella Jeans strolling through the Venice Canals, today I am sharing my second look with you! Besides soaking up the sun and taking in all the ocean breeze on the west side, another favorite thing I enjoy doing around LA is checking out all the museums and galleries this city has to offer.

I transformed my casual look with the Bella Jeans into a dressier look with a mustard floral blouse, a classic leather jacket (yes LA is still very hot but leather jacket just makes the most perfect accessory) and heels. For some reason, no matter how many times I have been to LACMA, I never get tired of Urban Light (the sculpture of all the lamp posts). It is simply iconic and picturesque, much like these Belle Jeans! Seriously, they are perfectly high waisted and fit like a dream!

Don't forget to check out my feature over on the Lucky Insider Blog!

Finding a good pair of denim is hard, finding a good pair of denim that fits is harder, and finding a good pair that fits AND looks good is almost like winning the lottery (although I have never won it so I don't quite know what that feels like but I assume it's something similar, right?) Lucky Brand just launched the Bella Jeans as part of their new pre-fall collection and I did a fun little collaboration for their Lucky Insider Blog showing you how I rock them in two different ways. Today, I am going to show you the first look and tomorrow I will reveal the second.

After a slow morning soaking up some sun on a yacht in Marina Del Rey, I slipped into my Bella Jeans and embroidered top and wandered next door to Venice. My new favorite brunch spot is Great White which is conveniently located across from the infamous Venice sign. I take my avocado toasts very seriously and these are the best I have ever had. Not to mention how good my woven circle bag looks next to them! After brunch, I took a stroll through the Venice Canals. Cliché I know but it is pretty and peaceful (when not too many tourists are around).

Wow. It's been a hot minute since I have written a blog post. This year has been strange, different, or however you like to call it. The second half of last year was spent mostly traveling and not really working, hence why I have been hustling nonstop the past few months. On top of my multiple blog/freelance projects, I started working part-time for an advertising agency as well as a beauty company. Blowing my savings last years might not be wise but to me, it was worth it. "Work. Save. Travel. Repeat." is kind of like my motto nowadays. Even though I might have been absent on here, I am still active and posting daily over on my Instagram if you aren't already following me. Actually, is anyone still read this? If you are, please do leave a comment so I know my reader still exist!
