What To Wear

LA’s Union Station

www.HautePinkPretty.com - An Dyer wearing Brass Plum Tee, Forever 21 Gold Mustache Necklace, GoldBraided Belt & Floral Shorts, Lulus Mustard Applique Bag, Glint & Gleam Vegan Braided Bracelet, H&M Gold Cuff, BCBGeneration Lee Flatforms, Prada Round Baroque Runway SS'11 Sunglasses

A couple weeks back, the hubby and I visited LA’s Union Station for the first time and played around with some indoor shots (along with outdoor ones too, of course). It’s really gorgeous inside and out and I absolutely adored the art deco meets urban LA decor and architecture. It’s also a nice reminder that LA, too, has an underground rail line. Would I ever take it? Hmmm… Being a SoCal native, I hardly even flinch when there is an earthquake but the thought of taking an underground metro, probably not gonna happen any time soon! I’m not a fan of it in NYC so I don’t think ours here in LA would be anydifferent lol! What do you all think? Would you ride it?

On an unrelated note, you may have noticed I added Chictopia & Lookbook.nu to my sidebar. I’ve been members since I first started blogging back in 2010 but haven’t been using them since way back then. I started up again recently so visit me there, too 🙂 It’s actually amusing seeing some of my super early older outfit posts next to my more recent looks. My have things changed!! I love it though, it’s great reflecting back. I’m going to start posting different pictures there that aren’t here to keep things interesting 😛 I’m a newbie on those, though, so bare with me!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my blog, I hope you enjoyed it! Have a great week, everyone!

I’ve been eyeing this dress since I first saw it in Zara’s March Lookbook earlier this year but when I tried it on in store, it didn’t work on me – way too frumpy. I don’t know if it’s the way it cinched at the waist or the amount of fabric but it just didn’t drape on me the way it was meant to. Last week when the Zara sale started, I spotted the dresses hanging in the corner of the Old Town Pasadena location and had a nagging feeling that I just had to give it another shot. It was still frumpy on me, not like it would magically change, but when I was taking it off, I left it draped open like a cardigan and loved the way it looked! I was sold – on sale, in a gorgeous summer print and to top it all off, I figure out how to wear it to work for me – yay!

Speaking of shopping & sales, I’ve been a longtime fan of Karmaloop but just recently found out about PLNDR. They offer awesome discounts – up to 80% off of Karmaloop’s brands like Dolce Vita and BB Dakota! Every week, they feature a cool new flash sale so check it out & sign up to stay updated on their weekly new deals 🙂 happy shopping!

By the way, I wore this outfit for 4th of July. What makes a day off work even better? (Aside from our Independence, of course) Wearing a fun outfit that feels like pajamas. Nothing beats running around town in something you can just as easily sleep in lol! I hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July!! Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my blog!

LA Fashion Bloggers Chat Shopping Hauls!

Hey everyone! In case you missed the Google+ Live Hangout On Air I did with fellow LA Fashion Bloggers – Sheryl Luke of www.WalkInWonderland.com & Nikoleta Panteva of www.LiveLoveLA.net you can watch it here 🙂

One thing I noticed when watching it afterwards that bothers me is that although in real life, I always say “Thank You”, for some strange reason, I didn’t when we did this Hangout 🙁 so my apologies – I don’t know where my manners were! Maybe it was the nerves (I was SUPER nervous) but thank you Sheryl & Niko for your kind compliments 😉

This was so fun and we definitely plan on having regular live hangouts so make sure you circle us on Google+!

P.s. Mini confession, I actually had two other tops I didn’t show LOL not sure why, I just got nervous and decided not to show them. Also, I found another shopping bag I forgot all about afterwards 😛 …confessions of a shopaholic!!

DIY What To Wear

Pink Striped Blouse with DIY Studs + Jessica Simpson Dany in Oatmeal Vintage Floral + Ear Cuff Hair Chain

www.HautePinkPretty.com - An Dyer wearing Forever 21 Pink Sheer Striped High-Low Shirt with DIY Gold Cone Studs, American Apparel Circle Skirt in Black Denim, Jessica Simpson Dany Oatmeal Vintage Floral Platform Sandals, ASOS Spike Ear Cuff, Chain And Comb, HauteLook Leather Cuff with Gold Hardware, Gold Spiked Bracelet, Michael Kors Mother Of Pearl Chronograph Watch, Glint & Gleam Beige Versatile Vegan Leather 3 Bracelet Set, Rosary Bracelet

I mentioned having DIY plans for the blouse I recently bought in this post but I actually had slightly different ideas for it. I originally wanted to use these spikes but quickly realized they were too heavy and ran the risk of making everything sag (saggy collar, saggy pocket, saggy shoulder – no thanks). I debated whether or not to do anything to it but I felt like it needed a little oomph. I took a shot in the dark with these gold cone studs that StudsAndSpikes.com sent me instead and really love how it turned out! I won’t bore you with the details because all I really did was shove the prongs through the fabric lol but I did opt to apply them where this sheer fabric was layered. If I pushed them through the areas with just the single layer of fabric, it probably would have torn or frayed. Also, I decided to stud the pocket closed (it’s not like I’d actually use the pocket for anything anyway) to avoid a saggy pocket. I absolutely love the fun hardware details it added to this blouse!

Dany – AGAIN! I know 🙂 I can’t help it. I love her…and just to pre-warn you all, I’ve yet to post and outfit wearing them in “Brown Pete’s Shirt” so don’t think I’m done posting these shoes yet! They’re just the perfect, surprisingly comfortable, super cute t-strap platforms.

Thank you so much for reading my blog and for all the awesome comments! I truly enjoy reading them!
