Seeming that Im getting my wear in them , I paired them up with some Buffalo findings. Purchased this vintage acid wash Levi jacket, fringe crochet blouse, and American Apparel Disco pants all at a discounted price at my work:) Also decided to throw on this studden fanny pack to finish off the retro styled ensemble. Bringing back the fanny pack:) Played around with some color blocking in this look and had fun playing in the dirt. Recieved a new pair of Campbells from Santa this Christmas that I will be blogging all about in the next post so look out!

Black Velvet Christmas

 

Black Velvet Tulle dress-H&M/ Creme Shagg Cardi-Spicy Girl clothing/ Nylon knee highs/ Metallic Midnight Litas- Jeffrey Campbells

         Merry Christmas Everyone! Decided to wait and post my first Christmas post on Christmas morning while the day is still fresh and new. Cant believe its almost been a year since I started this blog and how much time and effort I put in to create new stuff for my readers. I love every min. of it! Hope everyone enjoys being with family this Christmas and remember the first six letters of Christmas because thats the most important part!:) Now to my outfit I wore to a Christmas Eve dinner last night... Decided to go with a little classic black dress with the velvet top and tulle attached skirt. Found this dress for only $12 at my work that screamed prefect Holiday attire. Topped it with this shagg cardigan I bought at Pop killer that kept me warm and added a little more elegant feel to my look.   Shot these photos with best friend, co-worker, and amazing photographer Stephanie Yu! We decided to tryout this amazing hidden location Stephanie knew of in Rowland Heights. It flowed very well with my soft holiday look and we also had fun creating this winter wonderland setting with these giant paper mache snow flakes. Thank you so much Steph for these amazing photos and Im so excited for our up and coming project this wed. in L.A.! Ill post my second look with Stephanie in my next post so keep an eye out! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas:) xo- Maritza M.

'Tis the season to pile on the sequins

 

 

    Glitter and Sequins is a definate for the New Years ensemble and I cant wait! Heres a little inspiration board I put together to get the creativity moving. You can either walk out with an all sequins silhouette with a dramtic open back or cutout, or you can go with a solid silhouette and accessorize with a glitter gold clutch or glitter bold statement elevated shoes. Havent decided which direction Im going to go yet but either one I know will create a holiday festive fashion forward look.

       And here's a sneek peak of yesturdays shoot with good friend & photographer Stephanie Yu. Ill have details and more in the next post:) xo-Maritza

            

Suede + Accordion Pleats

     Seasonal cold weather has done me well this winter. Pushing me to load up on the knits, furs, and collard coats. Scared to know what Ill have to wear once spring hits and I have a closet full of winter. But in the meantime Ill enjoy bundling up in these vintage pieces I purchased at my work. Finally found a perfect fitting Lapel coat that doesnt have un flattering shoulder pads or undesirable box cut. This coat won my love when I saw the princess styled construction lines detail on the back. Was a winner! Snaped these shots after a hangout celebration with best friend Jr Millama for finishing our 1st semester of design classes. Shared some laughs over milk tea and brick toast at local hot spot "Eden Cafe" in downtown fullerton. Then explored this hidden court yard filled with high end boutiques and the finest dinnings. Things you find when your a curious wanderer.

Stars n Stripes

 

Vintage Beverely Hills American Cropped Sweater/ Pop Killer Heart Shaped Shades/ Giani Bernini Clutch Purse/ Metallic Midnight Jeffrey Campbells Litas

    This is definatly one of my fun pieces I liked putting together. I stumbled upon this vintage American flag cropped sweater at Buffalo Exchange and it screamed awsomeness! Paired it with some high waisted black short, metallic Litas, and my fun heart shaped shades to play it up. Definatly turn heads at school with questions asking "Happy fourth of July?" Who says it has to be Independence Day to wear Stars n Stripes. Forsure some fun piece to your wardrobe is what keeps it exciting! Stay warm everyone cuz Winter is offically here! xo- Maritza  

Metallic Midnight

Vintage Guns n Roses Tee/ Vintage Baseball Jean Jacket/ Switchblade Leopard print pants/ Jeffrey Campbell Metallic Midnight Litas

          Second look post from my shoot with Opluen studio. With this look I decided I wanted to go totally opposite from my last and give it a little more carefree, funky, badass feel. I spotted these awsome Leopard print skinnies while working at Buffalo Exchange for an amazing price of $14, which really played up my look and went well with a Guns n Roses fringe tee, Vintage baseball jean jacket, and a pair of Metallic blue Litas. Loved playing around with these awsome finds and breaking in my first pair of Litas. Thanks again to Tatsu for his amazing skill and work! Also if you live near the Fullerton area, tomarrow is Fullerton's Fashion Students Fall Fashion Show "Escape from Wonderland" at the Wilshire Auditorium at 7pm come stop by and watch some pretty amazing work. Cant wait for next month December is the best time of the year! xo- Maritza
