Nails

Nails

My nail inspiration is all based on Kylie Jenner's trips to ES Nails, the most popular celebrity nail art studios. My favorite Nails out of all the ones she's ever done have been slimmed down to these.

These doberman nails are my top pick, and I want to save up for myself to rock these puppies.

These versace inspired nails are so classy that I'm shocked Kylie can rock them so well, but of course they are my number 2 choice if I ever did get these long classic acrylics.

These tumblr inspired nails are more teen oriented which I love, but I feel like I would get so distracted during the day just starting at these lovely claws.
These texturized nails are pointy and definitely make a statement. Right now, claw pointy nails are trending, so Kylie knows where the nail forecast is headed thats for sure. 
Finally, lets all take an appreciation for Kylie's perfect way of accessorizing, and knowing what works with what nails!

GLOW

Glow:

So recently, I decided to go to this crazy art event called GLOW. It goes from 7pm to 3 am, and its  pure art installations. This event, which is based on pure lighting was way too trippy to handle. My friends and I luckily got to go to the "backstage" of it all for the main event, and here are the photos.

Working Girl

I'm a Working Girl:

Recently in August, I switched from working at LF Robertson down to Abbot Kinney. These stylists down on abbot kinney made my experience actually so much fun. Shout out to Mina right now! So basically I got to walk down to the boardwalk every day, hand out flyers and even help customers in the store. I organized stacks of clothes, only for them to get messed up. 
My Outfit: Black American Apparel crop top tank, LF fine china pants, and Steve Madden Black Bootie heels.



               My favorite part of it all was being able to style each mannequin and make everything badass. Mina's blog is the inspiration for my fashion blog itself. Her tumblr is: minamarlena.tumblr.com! Check that good stuff out.




Clean Eating

Clean Eating:

Recently, all the LA trends for food are defined as clean eating. I went to Kreation down on abbot kinney, and got myself all of these lovely treats. The first photo is an Acai bowl, which is very popular for after soul cycle workouts like the typical LA girl would attend.
The second photo, is my own selfie of pressed juice, which is a popular trend, also known as juice cleansing. Ignore my awkward hands, as always. Finally, I actually tried making this kale salad last night, and I stole my recipe from my favorite restaurant located on Abbot Kinney called Gjelina. All this clean eating is making me feel pretty healthy, and more and more like a typical LA Native.

Post Summer Depression


So this summer, towards the end in August, I was working at LF stores again, and my fellow interns and I did a photo shoot down in venice and Santa Monica. So you may be able to judge me for my head to toe LF look, but I will proudly wear their clothes around school: and sadly look like and LF model. First week back, lets just say my closet wardrobe consisted all of my post-LF sale threads. 

My Outfit:  White Sam&Emma LF crop tank, Pink Floral LF Shorts, Pink and White Floral LF crown Brown Jeffery Campbell gold-toed boots
Aly's Outfit: Mint green LF romper, daisy LF headband, studded black socks from Italy, floral Doc Martens, and a silver LF cuff
