One Shoulder Goddess Gown

I recently connected with LA blogger, Rachel McCord of The McCord List, and was thrilled to find out that she had created her own social influencer and blogger showroom loft space in West LA which houses fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. While visiting her showroom space a couple weeks ago, she shared designs by Pia Gladys Perey, a designer from the Philippines. I pulled three gowns, and here's the first; The Ingrid Gown, a beautiful one-shoulder, Grecian-esque gown in a pretty periwinkle shade. I met up with photographer Shawna of Bleudog Fotography and had fun shooting in the last bit of sunlight at Lost Winds beach in San Clemente. This style along with many of the other Pia Gladys Perey dresses and gowns are perfect for a bridal party or bride. I love the variety of colors and cuts available, as well as how the fabric moves; it looks expensive and it's doesn't feel heavy or weigh me down when worn. If you are planning a wedding, you need to take a look at Pia Gladys Perey!Photos taken by Shawna of Bleudog Fotography

Summer Heat Cooldown in a Maxi Dress

With so cal experiencing the weirdest humid weather, this summer maxi dress from Triple Thread OC is the perfect pop of color and keeps me cool in the dense heat. I love the print and the crochet top and tie detail; a printed maxi dress like this can be paired with sandals or wedges for a go-to summer look.


I shot in this dress with Shawna of Bleudog Fotography while down in San Juan Capistrano, and we found the coolest painted horse statue to take pictures with. If you head down to the Mission San Juan Capistrano, you may spot him and another horse friend nearby on the sidewalk. Have an amazing 4th of July weekend everyone! Shop Triple Thread OC here.

1960s Style Throwback

For the third look that I shot with Joelle for her etsy shop, Vita Vintage Girl, I rocked this lace up mod-like 1960s sheath dress. I love the simple lines of the dress and the lace up detail at the neckline. I found the round sunglasses in Joelle's car and thought it very fitting for some retro vibes. I attempted to tease my hair a bit and tie to the side for a different look, then Joelle snapped some pics of me at the park and in front of this super rad VW van! If you're looking to go a bit more literal with a mod-style or other retro dress or outfit, modernize the look with a pair of a classic pair of shoes you own, for this instance, I wore my black booties that I wore with the other two looks. Check out more pieces in the Vita Girl Vintage shop!Photos taken by Joelle Nguyen.

Vintage Tropical Print Pants

The second look shot by Joelle features tropical print pants from Vita Girl Vintage. I kept the look simple with a white button down and black booties. This look brought me back to my loose wearing pant days in Vietnam, which helped keep me cool in the humid weather. Due to the loose fit of the pants, and I had a loose fitting shirt, I tucked the shirt into the waistband of the bands to give my silhouette more shape. I also wore this look to the KIN LA event here. Photos taken by Joelle Nguyen.

Projection LA

Renee and I ventured up to the Silverlake area in LA to take photos at the deserted Sunset Pacific Motel, also known as the 'Bates Motel', which was painted completely white (including the surrounding palm trees and billboard) by French artist Vincent Lamouroux. Projection, is produced by Please Do Not Enter, and is a temporary art installation standing in all it's stark white glory on Sunset blvd. I wore my Girls on Film Palm Printed romper from Little Mistress which was quite fitting for the hot, first day of summer, and it popped quite well against the white background.

Visit Projection:
4301 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90029
Park on the residential streets nearby

The property is completely surrounded by barbed wire fencing, although with careful inspection by Renee and I, it seems that the fence has been heavily tampered with and then patched up. If you check out Projection's Instagram you can see that a few individuals have made it onto the premises.
