My Favorite One-Piece Swimsuits + EPIC SUMMER Giveaway

Isn't it funny how trends that were once out of style, unexpectedly come back into style when you least expect it? Overalls, chokers, one-piece swimsuits...I never predicted that these specific pieces would ever make it back to retail stores, but they have! In today's blog post, I wanted to share with you guys one returning trend that I am absolutely OBSESSED with: one-piece swimsuits. I love how one-piece swimsuits received an entire makeover from the old days, ranging from the incorporation of sexy cut-outs to catchy bohemian prints. Since I'm originally from a conservative neighborhood, I'm not the type of girl who prefers to bare too much skin in public. With today's renovated one-piece swimsuits, I am happy that I can feel both comfortable and fashionable showing just the right amount of skin when chilling by the poolside or at the beach.

Saying Goodbye

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when you've been on a competitive hip hop dance team for three whole years. When you've developed fun relationships with your teammates and have gotten used to the familiar way of how practices run, you begin to feel comfortable. Maybe a bit too comfortable to leave. I never pictured when or how I would say goodbye to my team when the time came, but with the unpredictable flow of life, all great things come to an end eventually. Along with the many veterans who have left the team, I am now another one to do the very same. Since a lot of you have asked me about what it's like to be on a competitive hip hop dance team, I've compiled a few fun facts or lessons that I've learned from my personal experience of being on a dance team for three years.

Denim on Denim + YMI Jeans Giveaway

I've always liked the denim on denim trend - there's just something so casually chic and appealing about the entire look. Also, it's pretty rare to find me sporting jeans (gasp!) since some of you already know that I'm a huge collector of dresses and rompers. In all honesty, I'm pretty picky when it comes to picking out my jeans and I always make sure that I absolutely fall in love with the fit of my denim before I buy them. With YMI Jeans, I am confident that the quality, stretch, and look of their denim is everything that I've ever wanted in a pair of jeans.

Anchor Hitch

Among all of the various seafood restaurants that I've tried all over California, I think that it's safe to say that I've finally found the one. Anchor Hitch in Mission Viejo, the one and only restaurant that has truly stolen my heart (and stomach), has me head over heels for their elegantly prepared and Instagram-worthy entrees. Going above and beyond my expectations regarding both the excellent presentation and quality of their dishes, my first time at Anchor Hitch was nothing short of a memorable and positive experience. Honestly, I had such a great time dining here that I wanted to share my all-time favorite restaurant with you guys by dedicating a blog post towards the best seafood lunch that I've ever had imaginable. Once I make my big move to Southern California, I already know for sure that I will be returning to Anchor Hitch - there's no doubt about it.

Back-To-School Lookbook 2016 (#ACROSSTHESTATES)

You know that feeling when school's about to start and you feel like you have nothing exciting to wear for the first day back?! Girl, don't you worry because I've been there too! Today, I'm collaborating with my blogger babes Fiona, Thy, and Huyen from across the states to bring you all some inspirational back-to-school looks! I loved working with these three fashionable ladies because not only are they super supportive and encouraging friends who have been with me since the beginning of my Instagram journey, but they also all know how to rock their own individual styles with confidence. Honestly, when it comes to school or a casual everyday outfit, my piece of advice is to wear what you want and whatever makes you feel comfortable (that is, of course if your school doesn't have a dresscode!).
