A black slip is one of the many must-haves that should belong in a girl’s wardrobe. This black slip has a bohemian feel to it with the black lace detailing at the end, so I accessorized with silver jewelry which had a boho vibe to them as well.

Since it’s spring, I decided that I would have to start wearing color, so I paired this coral colored blouse with light wash jeans, which gives off a cute and bright looking feel.

This outfit was another casual, but classic look. Of course I wore my favorite boyfriend jeans with my Adidas Superstars. The ribbed material of the off-the shoulder top is a great piece for spring, and really pairs well with layered necklaces, being that the cut goes straight across.

I started the day by visiting the FIT Museum, which I recommend to anyone interested to go, since admission is free and the exhibits are always really interesting.
Above are pictures from the first exhibit I saw. It was a Yves Saint Laurent and Halston mash-up, and started out with a timeline of both their careers. In the larger room, it was like a showcase of the two designers’ lines throughout their lives and much of their work was placed side by side. Some of their work was actually quite similar and it was great being time-warped back to the 70s.
The following exhibit was called Faking It, which displayed replicas of designer items compared side to side with the original designer item. The picture on the right shows the Homies shirt and Ain’t Laurent Without Yves, and told of the debate of whether or not the creative twist on the shirt was copying the original. The same with Moschino’s McDonalds inspired line, with people arguing if the trademark company’s designs could be used.
The last exhibit was called Lauren Bacall: The Look. I really admire her cool confidence and her style. From the short clips that they showed, I can tell that she was such a lovely person.
Cute street and shop that I walked by.
I had lunch at Jack’s Wife Freda. So good.
I ended the day with a lot of shopping. I went to The Reformation (above left), Topshop (above right), Brandy Melville, Aritzia, Urban Outfitters, and a lot more.
Flare Jeans: Free People
These are such a throwback from the 70s, which I think are so classic. These jeans are very flattering and give off a bohemian and put together feel.
Boyfriend Jeans: Urban Outfitters
This style of jeans are so comfortable, but very stylish and edgy. It adds such a nice touch to any outfit.
Mom Jeans: Topshop
These jeans are also very vintage looking. I love the way the jeans aren’t tight, but still nicely fitting and very versatile.
Overalls: Asos
Overalls are a staple piece. You could just throw them over a simple crop top or long sleeve shirt, and the outfit looks like you put a lot of work into it.
Skinny Jeans: Rag and Bone
Skinnies are a definite classic, as they’re probably the most popular style of jeans. You can literally pair a nice pair of skinnies with anything.
Since Coachella is just around the corner, and it’s my favorite festival of all time, I made this lookbook to share some outfits that are Coachella inspired. I hope you enjoy this as a lot of hard work was put into it. This was made in collaboration with Larry Yu, so thanks so much to him!
