The Pretty Kitty

Last year when I decided to bleach my hair and do a blonde balayage I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I’ve never actually died my hair to that point. I was bored of my hair! I wanted something new. I wanted to feel good and I needed a change. Little did I know the consequences, not to say that I don’t have a good stylist or that I don’t like my hair but the amount of work that is put into it is absolutely crazy. I had naturally straight hair, with that the disadvantage of no volume. Which I also didn’t like. Now with my blonde hair I had volume but my hair was stiff and unhealthy. I would wake up with frizzy unmanageable hair every single day. I still blow dry my hair dry and straighten/curl my hair a few times a week. But I kept on treating my hair like it was normal. I was making a big mistake. I had to change my entire hair routine. This meant it was more money on top of the already treatments that I got. Luckily Finesse was here for the rescue. Can you believe that...

When ever it comes to printing my photos, I am very careful where I send them too. As a photographer you want the best quality for your images. This is really important specially if your clients request prints from you. Well not only did I find a great place to print canvas images but I found the quality and customer service I deserve. CanvasFactory.com is the perfect place to get your special print. Ordering it was simple! It took me 5 minutes or less and my order was finished. You can select images from your computer or social media accounts. There are different sizes and the options of canvas, hd metal and acrylic. Depending on your needs, these are all great options. Now that I have seen how amazing Canvas Factory is, I cannot wait to order HD prints. I know the photographs I took from my birthday trip to Yosemite will look amazing. Did I mention how affordable they are? This is exciting! They have prints starting at $11 and you can do single prints, multiples, collages, spl...

It is just around the corner and you don't need to skip it if you don't have a Valentine, you can have a Galentine or spend sometime pampering yourself. Regardless you don't need a silly Holiday to feel loved and good about yourself. Here are a few outfits that are fun, flirty, effortless and chic. 

 Ok So I have been out for a while and this is because I have been working on opening my own online store Sole and Style . I wrote a post on the website as well:

I am guilty of having a "uniform" my go-to outfits are black denim jeans, booties and a jacket. I really like these because they are comfortable and stylish. 

October was the perfect month to go to Spain. The weather was great, slightly cooler than California. Perfect weather for layering. Spain has always been on my travel bucket list and since I always travel on my birthdate I decided it was about time. I visited Barcelona and Madrid. On a 12 hour direct flight to Barcelona my thought process was to sleep during the plane ride…which I did for 6 hours btw. We left at night and arrived at night. Arrived at the hotel, went out for dinner and a few drinks. Called it a night to be refreshed and prepared for the day to come.

This month's Hot Piece definitely has to be this Military Faux Wool Coat. It is in my favorite color, Olive Green and it is so flattering on all body types. It is a great lenght perfect for evening or a cold day. Serves its purpose of keeping you warm and cozy while looking stylish. Again a piece you can dress up or down. 

I just love an outfit that is sexy, versatile and feminine, this jumpsuit is all of that and more. I like that you can wear it to work, or a date night. Just change your shoes and handbag and you are good to go.

Fans of Melissa Bolona might remember her from her role in The Year of Spectacular Men.  According to the Melissa Bolona IMDb page, that movie is a romantic comedy about a young woman’s relationships with her family, friends, and romantic prospects.  Her newest movie, The Hurricane Heist , has a completely different tone.  It is a thriller set in an evacuated coastal town during a category 5 hurricane.

 I love fit and flare styles, they are so flattering to almost all body types. I overlooked this dress because I thought the fabric was going to make it look cheap but once I tried it, I fell in love. It is thick and you can feel the quality is very different. I like this dress from Just Fab because it is unique a little flirty and little sporty. Dress: Mesh Fit and Flare | Jacket: Embellished Biker Jacket | Shoes: Sharona

Kenra Professional launched a brand new line of haircare based on Korean beauty secret. I received the Kenra Platinum Snail Collection in the mail and I was both excited but skeptical about it. Through all the styling my hair is still lifeless!!! So of course I had to give myself some time trying this out and see if this is really going to work out. Snail essence is Koreans anti-aging beauty secret. We all have heard about Korean beauty products they must be doing something right because they all look amazing from anywhere to their flawless skin to perfect straight hair.

I am obsessed with anything that can go from work to play. I don't always have the time to spend and it is either one thing or the other. That is why this outfit is perfect. All you do is change a few things like your hair and makeup or shoes and handbag. I would change my handbag into a crossbody. The shoes are perfect for a night out.

One of my favorite and go-to face products have to be sheet mask. I use them before events, when I need a little me time. They are easy to use with minimal mess what is not to like. I have used When Mask in 10:00 PM and Glamour Base before so now I get to experience the whole pack. Each mask has its own purpose, for example they hydrate, brighten, and rejuvenate your skin.

I am a Fall/Winter person, I love layering and I love my booties. This outfit is perfect not only for those of us who love Fall but for the boho girls. The peasant dress is really flattering on almost all body types. It fits longer on me because I am short but I am sure it would look great on a taller girl. I am also wearing what I call a must have in all closets, That item is the belted Cardigan. I don't know what it is about it but it finishes so many looks and gives you a put together look. Even if you are short it looks great, 

This month we are taking it Varsity Chic. LA vibes or what you mix in during your days in college. I have never been sporty or even wore loungewear out at all. I used to believe that once you wore sweatpants out in the streets you have given up on life. (no offense to anyone who does) I have always appreciated the feeling you get when you dress up, wear a pair of heels and some makeup. Anyways now it is different I have learned that you can dress up pretty much anything and look amazing. It is all about knowing your body and having confidence. I love this look, it is a little glam, sexy, comfy at the same time. After wearing heels all day I switched up to these cute tennis shoes that were perfect for a day out. 

Have you heard of StyleWe ? They have a great selection of designer pieces at great prices. These are unique items that you do not find at your average fast fashion retailer. Let's just start by saying that the website is very modern, clean and has a lot of categories which you could choose from. I also enjoy that they have a section called the style social and they have real women wearing the items. When you click on the pictures it will take you to the designers name style in there or you can choose the size of the product details are very thorough. And like I said you can find a look book where other girls have style the same item. The website also offers a discount on hundreds of sales, not to mention that they offer free shipping on most of their items. I know how much I hate to pay for shipping for something I'm paying a good amount of money for. StyleWe has different brands and different designers at various price points which I like.
