Della top & skirt via Dietch PR / Nasty Gal hat / Christian Louboutin shoes

Ahh, a long weekend. I love 1. having Sundays off & 2. when Sunday is like Saturday. What are you guys doing this long weekend? Here's a pretty look I shot wearing a matching set by Della. It's a bittersweet feeling getting to wear this outfit. Della is a line that's handcrafted by men and women from a community in Ghana, West Africa. Every dollar earned at Della goes toward providing employment, education and financial stability for the men and women in this community. People have such a negative and superficial idea about this industry, so it humbles me to find fashion labels that exist for a good cause. I have many things to be grateful for and some of these men and women don't have half the things that I have. It reminds me to appreciate every thing, person and moment I come across in life. Please check out more handcrafted goods from Della here! Thank you Della & Dietch PR!

Rails top & R13 denim via American Rag Cie / Lola Shoetique shoes

Here's a look I (almost) never got around to posting. It's the most comfortable outfit I've blogged to date. This Rails sleeveless flannel is the softest top ever. It's 100% rayon and feels like a baby's bottom in fabric form. And these JEANS. You guys should know by now that I'm not a pants person, but these babies from R13 are definitely the most comfortable jeans to ever hug my legs. It was love at first fit. This is my idea of the perfect "boyfriend" outfit. Of course, I chose to dress it up with my current favorite strappy heels. I'm super in love with this look. I don't dress like this often, but It's a wear-anywhere type of outfit. Now I'm definitely in need of more soft flannels and comfy boyfriend jeans.

Beginning Boutique top / Lola Shoetique shoes

I feel like I had a week-long weekend. Had a fun/crazy/eventful week. Pool trade show was awesome. Got to see many new and old faces. Then my sis came into town to celebrate her birthday for the weekend. The fun is now over and I'm feeling uber behind on work so now, back on the grind. Here's a pretty look I shot with Bennie. I'm in love with this peplum top by Beginning Boutique. This skirt is something that's been sitting in my closet for YEARS and I don't know where it's from. I'm pretty sure it belongs to my sister and she probably forgot about it until she sees this post. But anyway, I love peplum tops. They give the illusion of a small waist and curvy hips! Finished off the look with some strappy heels from Lola Shoetique. Links provided above. Don't forget to use FLAMCIS at check out for 15% off LS shoes!

Beginning Boutique dress / Forever 21 hat / Lola Shoetique shoes

First day of Magic! I'm in Vegas right now working for MYVL clothing's booth at Pool Trades Show. If any of you are there, you should come say hi! Here's a look I shot with Bennie. It's a simple look I'd definitely wear to dinner with my boyfriend. I'm in love with this dress. I saw something similar on Kylie Jenner and wanted to try this feminine look on myself. This is outfit is a little more mature than I normally dress, but I do like to switch it up and try different looks from time to time. I paired it with these pretty strappy heels from Lola Shoetique, which they just restocked!! Topped off the look with this maroon fedora I scored at Forever 21 for only $10!

Brandy Melville top / Shop Charade shorts / Lola Shoetique shoes / Thrifted hat

I've been wearing a lot of black lately. Not sure why, but I've definitely been attracted to some more darker pieces than usual. I think too much color clashes with my ever changing hair. I was gifted these pretty lacey shorts from Shop Charade. They are so extremely comfy. I also love the fairly large lace panels on them. Turns such a basic piece into something sultry. I kept the outfit pretty simple and added some personality with these amazing shoes. They are so strappy and sexy. It looks like theyre caging up my wild feet! (Ok weird statement.) I would link the shoes, but unfortunately they sold out so quickly. You can still get 15% off other styles at Lola Shoetique with code "FLAMCIS" at check out! And check out more goodies from Shop Charade here.

Gold Soul pants / Public Desire shoes

Is this my first blog post with actual pants?! I can't remember. I rarely wear pants. I hate pants but I love this pair from Gold Soul. I decided I need more printed bottoms in my wardrobe and this item really caught my eye. A little bit street but a little girly. And who doesn't love paisley? This crop top I'm wearing is actually an old tank that I just impulsively cut. Finished off the look with these lovely cleated sling backs from Public Desire. Shout out to Ducky of Gold Soul for the carepackage! Check out her shop here.

Lazy B Club top & skirt / Shu Sole shoes

Ugh. I've been sick all weekend. Not fun, but here's a fun look I shot with Daniel for Lazy B Club. I'm honestly so in love with this little outfit. I wore it to Agenda Long Beach last month and people were going crazy over the skirt! It's the same print as the romper I previously blogged. Little candy monsters. So cute and evil. Paired this with these pretty rose gold heels from Shu Sole. We shot these at the marketplace in Little Tokyo and I love how they came out. I love being able to shoot photos in my natural habitat. Eating ice cream!

Banded.

My Bandage Dress top & skirt / Lola Shoetique shoes / Mod4rn trend body chain

Here's a look I really loved shooting. I received this bandage set from My Bandage Dress and was so ecstatic. It's definitely something I'd wear in Vegas which is perfect since I'm going in 2 weeks! The top and skirt fit like a glove and felt like it was made for me. I paired it with these sheer black booties since they have some pop of color and a simple body chain. I really love how these photos came out. Daniel and I stumbled upon this little abandoned patio behind a building and he was able to capture some elegant photos besides the fact that there was a huge pile of (most likely human) feces in the corner. Haha it was gross but the turn out was worth it. Check out more sleek bandage pieces here!

Laer top and shorts via American Rag Cie / Public Desire shoes

Had such a busy weekend! I went to Hard Summer yesterday and had a blast. Filled my nostrils and lungs with dirt and was sweating profusely but I loved Martin Garrix and Disclosure. Anyway, here's a sleek look I shot in collaboration with American Rag Cie, an amazing store located on La Brea. I felt like a kid in a candy store walking in. They carry some amazing brands from Alexander Wang to Unif and beyond. In this set, I'm sporting this matching leather set by Laer. I'm not gonna lie, I felt pretty bad ass in all black and leather. Not to mention it was a crop top and shorts, my favorite things to wear! I completed the look with this comfy cleated heels from Public Desire. Links to all the pieces are provided above, xoxo.
