Meet Me by the Lake

Hey Curiouser Cats!
Here's a look featuring some goodies sent to me from @ShopTobi and @PublicDesire. It's officially winter now, but as you all know, I live in SoCal and we really don't have a "real" winter. Either way, the temperature does drop around this time and I can't stand the cold. But, I do love dressing up for the cold. I love thick, warm, chunky, oversized knit sweaters like the one I'm wearing from @ShopTobi. They can easily be worn like the way I styled it in this post or with a comfy pair of shorts and some knee high socks and chunky platform booties. Check out @ShopTobi for more knit sweaters! They've got a lot of cute pieces on their website.

Kap suggested shooting at this place because of the pretty lake that was there. It's such a beautiful location and I thought this outfit fit perfectly with this location because it kinda has this "strolling around the park" type of feel. There were ducks everywhere and a cute little turtle sunbathing and this huge duck somehow got on this bridge with us. It was lowkey scary because I couldn't really run with these platform heels. Not to mention, they haven't been broken into yet so just walking in them was awkward.

Close-up details:
-Public Desire Jessi Cleated Sole Platforms Shoutout to Sim from @PublicDesire for always hooking me up with new PD heels since the summer time. I love these heels because they pretty much can go with anything--casual or dressy.

Vintage 1992 Fendi Purse: It was a hand-me-down from my mother. She said she copped this purse when I was a baby and it's so cool how she kept it and took care of it and eventually gave it to me. I plan to hand it down to my future daughter some day :)

Gold Name Necklace: In case y'all didn't know "LIA" is my nickname...my full name is Angelia. Kap gave me this for Christmas!

80s Purple sunnies: These are probably my all-time favorite pair of sunglasses. I wear these with every outfit. They are my go-to sunnies. They go with almost everything.

Make-up: Foundation is Make Up For Ever HD Liquid Foundation in shade 128. For my eyebrows, I finally started using Beverly Hills Anastasia Dip Brow in "Soft Brown." So far, I love it! Lastly on the lips, I have MAC's famous Heroine.

Clean

Hello curiouser people! I'm officially on winter break...Happy Holidays to you all! Here's a little treat. A clean outfit you can wear to holiday parties paired with a pair of nude strappy heels or white chunky platforms instead of the Air Maxes.

Walk with these Jordan 3's...

Hey Curiouser Cats!
Here's a look I put together last week. Yet another "balance" type outfit. I love mixing up outfits with my kicks. J's can really add an extra "kick" to an outfit...(hahaha!). These happen to be my all-time favorite J's. Black Cement 3's. They were actually my very first pair of J's that started my collection. Guess what made me want them so bad?! I remember seeing a picture of Kanye and Amber Rose wearing them together and thinking to myself, "Wow, they make it look like you could wear those shoes with anything and instantly make an outfit look tight." And that is exactly why I had to cop them back in '08. Honestly, these shoes really do make an outfit look tight. You really can wear them with anything and it looks like it's supposed to go with that outfit. And you know me...I just love wearing tight-fitting skirts/dresses with kicks.

If you want to recreate this look and want to skip the J's, you can easily wear this with strappy heels like the Jeffrey Campbell Soireé or a pair of black strappy heels. That would make this a nice, dressy feminine look for date night or a night out on the town with your girls.

"Don't make me sad. Don't make me cry."

"Don't make me sad, don't make me cry." It's as simple as that. Just a simple bomber jacket from ShopJeen.com. I love the look of a simple bomber jacket.

It's Fall!

(2020 Ave Top, Forever 21 Blazer, AA Riding Pants, Public Desire Boots, H&M Bag)

Doesn't this outfit just scream Fall?! It's finally Fall weather in Southern California and it couldn't have hit at a better time...right on Halloween. Just fitting. Anyway, hope you all enjoy this quick post. Super busy with school and life at the moment. I've got more coming soon...

Balance

Just finished finals for Med-Surg 3 so I get a little break this weekend, then I start my OB/Pediatrics rotation on Monday...ahh, the life of a nursing student. On the bright side, the Holidays are coming up, right? Anyway, here's a little fun look I put together featuring one of my favorite J's and a custom made top by one of my good IG friends, Cassie aka SlimJawn. It also came with matching underwear, as well. I'll put together a 90s look featuring those soon.

I don't know if you guys have noticed yet, but I love wearing kicks with feminine pieces like midi skirts and midi dresses. I love to create outfits with a balance between feminine pieces and masculine pieces. Most of the masculine pieces are my kicks like all my J's, running shoes, etc. and most of my feminine pieces are my clothes. If I do end up wearing heels, then my actual outfit will include boy clothes like a jacket, jersey, tee, etc. I don't like to be too girly, it's just not me...maybe for Vegas or a wedding, but as for my personal everyday style, I love to balance out a girly look with kicks a boy would wear. Does that make sense?

(Slim Jawn Top, ASOS Skirt, Air Jordan Royal 1's, 80s Purple Sunnies)

Hope you all enjoy this look! I had fun putting it together...you guys don't know how many times I changed before I decided I wanted to wear this midi skirt. I was going to wear boyfriend jeans with this but you know how I like to balance things out...that would've been too much on the tomboy side.

This is my free weekend so you know I'll be shooting all weekend for my blog. Stay posted for more looks coming!
