Some of you may have seen this post on my Instagram already (be sure and follow me there to see more frequent Beauty/Fashion posts!) but I wanted to post all of the details here for you : )
Much like on my YouTube channel, I have so many posts I want to do but time is the issue :( I will try though! Thank you as always for your continued support! It honestly means so much to me.
Just a quick snapshot of my Outfit the other day/night.
We basically just went to get Ramen with my brother and caught a movie later on.
(OZ the Great and Powerful)
It is been so nice and warm this week I have been busting out all my new warm weather tops and bottoms! Today I went for all black (I don't know - I've been into it lately).
The Details:
The top is a cut off tank from Brandy Melville (I'm wearing a simple black bandeau underneath) that I tied in the back to give me a little more shape. It's a pretty loose fitting top so I couldn't really just leave it as is for this outfit - Any shape would be lost with the relaxed fit and black on black.
I have been really into these cut tanks lately. I just wear a bandeau underneath and we are good to go. Comfortable as well as a little tough/vintage looking.
(The "I don't care I'll wear ripped, aged items (that I really bought brand new, mass produced and spent over $20 on even though I could make this at home for like $3 -___-") man I wish I was more crafty). The top is one size fits all for reference.
You all know I am definitely a cat lover so any way I can work them into my wardrobe I'm going to go for it! (Although it does seem like the bigger cat varieties are a little more socially acceptable lol. No weird looks with a tiger or cheetah but a sleeping house cat tee and you suddenly become "THAT girl" lol.)
Another new piece that I added to my wardrobe a couple weeks ago is this Fringe Skirt from Forever 21 - I love it! So fun and a great way to add texture and interest to your outfit without being overly flashy. I have been wearing this so often lately - typically with vintage looking tees/tanks - sometimes paired with a cropped denim vest. It's definitely a different style for me but I have been having a lot of fun playing around with these types of looks. (Wearing a size Medium for reference.)
The shoes you have seen last year if you are a follower of my YouTube videos. They were on super sale and I loved them so much I have two pairs! I like how bold they are - I love wearing black shoes if I am wearing a black skirt or shorts and usually if there is a thicker strap detail they look even better. These are also pretty low which is great for comfort. I can walk around in these all day without an issue. The look of a heel with the comfort of a small wedge.
For my bag I am wearing the Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip Mini - Black with Gold Hardware - I have gotten sooo much use out of this bag! The 5 Zip Mini is my favorite from Rebecca Minkoff and it surprisingly holds everything I need! (I recently did a "What's In my Bag" Video featuring this purse so feel free to check it out if you are interested.)
I just think this is such a cool twist on a fashion favorite (chain bracelets) and it goes with pretty much everything I wear.
I LOVE IT.
It's a nice, heavy weight and looks kind of vintage to me. Surprisingly nice quality for the price. Great to pair or wear alone. (It is a little big on me but if you clip it to the actual chain links vs. the extender you should be fine. You can always take off a few links if you have some heavy duty pliers.)
OBSESSED.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you all enjoyed this post! I'm so happy to be doing fashion posts on here finally : ) Sorry for the iPhone photos today - I didn't have time to take my DSLR outside, etc.
(I'm also writing this in between working on a new video that will hopefully be up soon : ) I know it's been a while!)
Told you all I'd show you what this top looks like on.
Bet you like it a lot better now! : P

Decided to wear this for the #21andOver (celebrating the movie '21 and Over' with Justin Chon) party tonight. It was a casual "college themed" event so pretty much anything goes and you know I have been dying to pull this out of my closet.
I wanted to be comfortable so I went with a super simple pairing - nothing too complex or over thought.
Finally set up my cute little cupcake displays after cleaning up my apartment so I thought I'd share.
I had been hanging on to them for a while and felt like now was finally the time.
Originally purchased to be decorations for my dresser - almost 2 years and I still haven't purchased a dresser sooooo on my counter they go. lol.
The taller of the two (well I actually purchase more than one of each so I will still be able to use them in my bedroom when the time comes) was purchased at VONS Grocery Store in the Floral Department. I don't remember exactly how much they were, I think $12.99 or so.
Inside I have a few stacked bracelets from Forever 21, BCBGenerationand Tory Burch along with this sweet little pastel macaron trinket box which I think is the perfect touch.
It adds such interest to the set up.
The shorter cupcake display was purchased at Ross for $5.99
Inside this one I have again some Forever 21 bracelets, a Forever 21 Ring and to keep some continuity between the two stands another BCBGeneration bracelet and pastel macaron container.

I hope you all have enjoyed this post! Something different for me on here.
I'm not too big on sharing my home decor since my apartment is still a work in progress but I am happy to post about the parts that I am satisfied with.
Let this inspire you to surround yourself with the everyday things you enjoy - even if they are in unconventional ways.
Love,
Holly
P.S. I do link the products in my posts : ) Just click on their names and you will be redirected!
I hadn't been to Forever 21 in...well...forever, but we have some of Steve's relatives visiting from Japan and they ended up wanting to stop in so I looked around a bit with them and found some really great stuff!
I purchased this in a size Small but I really needed an XS - Unfortunately the XS they had was too bleached for the look I was going for (it was almost white) so I made due with the S. There is some gapping in the back but hopefully I can shrink it.
The material is pretty nice and has some good stretch to it.
I actually love Forever 21 denim vests - always have good luck with them.
Just another quick peek at my style. : )
Hope you enjoyed!
All items are current and can be purchased online - I linked both of them.
(you can just click on their titles)
I did purchase in store though.
Thanks so much for reading. I hope your week is going well so far!
I'll talk to you all again very soon - I'll try for tomorrow but we do have some of Steve's family visiting and we are taking them around plus it's going to be Valentine's Day as well as Steve's Birthday!!! (his birthday is the 15th)
