Louis Vuitton Series 2 Exhibition

This was a quick look that I put together to go to the Louis Vuitton Series 2 Exhibition in Los Angeles. It was such an amazing exhibition and it was filled with fashionistas who were passionate about the story of LV. I loved looking around and seeing everyone's unique styles and I was sure I saw some fellow bloggers roaming around as well. This was the closest I could get to Fashion Week and this exhibit was only here for 2 weeks then off to Europe. They aren't even going to New York, so of course I had to take this chance I had to check it out! So glad I did. This is one of my new favorite coats because of the high collar that acts like a scarf AND the midnight blue color. Since I felt like I was hiding a bit behind my coat, I wanted to throw on these boots because I thought the silver chains would help me stand out a little and add some edge. 

I made a vlog on my youtube channel so that all of you that couldn't make it to the exhibition could get a taste of what it was like. Check out the highlights!

VDAY 2015

Happy Valentine's Day my little cupcakes. Tonight I learned how to fall in love with myself. For many years, I've hated this holiday. Maybe it's because I've been a bitter single lady for most of this time, and yeah sure. I'll admit that now. Or maybe it's because I hate seeing all the couples post the same shit on Instagram. Or maybe it's because I got dumped on this holiday before! Who knows. But for the most part, I don't really celebrate this holiday.

But this year, I decided to take advantage of this holiday of love to make an attempt to fall in love with myself. I've struggled with insecurities and lack of self esteem and I still do. But I've always longed to accept myself for who I am and really love myself. So I set up a romantic date for myself. Flowers, bath with rose petals, chocolate covered strawberries, and apple cider (since I have no access to wine at the age of 20). I put on my favorite music and soaked in the silent bliss of my own thoughts and reflections.

And you know what? This Valentine's Day turned out to be the best one yet. I realized that I'm proud of who I've become over the last few years. Sure, I still struggle day to day with negative thoughts I bring upon myself but I'm still fighting through that and realizing that I am more than what I perceive myself to be. I'm better. Taking one hour to close my eyes and soak up the darkness, I really did find love for myself. And I'm proud.

I'm proud to know that I don't need anyone. I don't need to depend on someone to make me happy. I'm absolutely happy by myself and for me, that's a huge stepping stone. A few years back, I remember saying that my greatest fear was "being alone." That's no longer true. I'm happy being alone. And I'm happy with who I'm shaping myself to be.

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day. If you're with your love, I hope you two share one extra kiss than usual. And if you're alone, I'm right here with you. And it's not such a bad thing! Pour yourself a glass of wine and intoxicate yourself with self love.

Until next time! Goodnight!

XO,
Dan

Fall In Love Too Fast

Day Date 

Sweater-Love Story♡Pants-Brandy Melville♡Boots-H&M♡Backpack-Brandy Melville

Evening Date

Dress-Zara♡Clutch-F21♡Heels-Local Boutique

Hello all! Happy Valentine's Day! Not like I have a date (HA, CAN YOU IMAGINE), but I hope this post inspires anyone who may have a date this Valentine's Day or anyone who just wants some outfit ideas for the arbitrary holiday. 

Since it's been quite warm in Cali for me, I decided to put together a more summery outfit for a casual day date. Something breezy, comfortable and slightly more feminine will suit the sunny afternoon for whatever I may be doing. I could wear this flowy outfit on a date to get some sweet fro-yo, OR I can wear this on a shopping day to IKEA! Hint, hint: I'll be doing the latter. 

For an evening date, I would want to wear something more sexy and compliments my body shape. Usually, I hide behind loose fitted t-shirts and oversized jackets, so wearing a tight fitted dress such as this one is definitely a step out of my comfort zone. I'm not usually one to dress to show off my figure but I quite like the way this dress fits on me. I love that this body con dress still has some sporty edge to it since it's made of jersey material and has that sporty red and white trim along collar and sleeves. 

I hope you like these looks, loves. Let me know which outfit you would prefer to wear and what you guys wore this Valentine's day!

Inappropriate Me

----->Click here to watch!<-----

Hey guys! So it's been a few weeks since the school semester has started and I've already gotten swamped with projects and assignments. I apologize for not posting very often! So to make it up to you, I thought I'd share one of my projects that I've had. I'm in a class called Apparel Analysis, which is my favorite class that I've ever taken. My first project for that class was called 'Inappropriate me' and basically all I had to do was dress inappropriately for a certain setting or occasion and document how people reacted to me. 

I dressed up as some funky mama of some sort and I went out to Target and Barnes and Noble. Surprisingly, I didn't get that many reactions. I expected people to just stare at me, which they did! Just not as much. I even tried to attract the attention to me. I tried to click my heels as loud as I could, walk with a swing in my hips, and walk as close as I could to people. I even DANCED near them. But all I got were a few stares and a few giggles. 

I was really nervous about this project because I get embarrassed easily and I absolutely hate attracting attention to myself, but I figured I needed to go all out for this. I'm being graded on it! In the end, it was a fun way to do something different and get out of my comfort zone. I seriously suggest you guys try it out and have a laugh! If you do, record it and share it! I'd love to see what reactions you guys can stir up! 

I'll try to post once things start calming down at school! I promise I'll be around!

Until then!

XO,

Dan
