Honestly, It's very rare to see me wearing jeans but once in a while I pull out the ones all the way in the back of my closet and wear them. Some of you guys might be thinking "Are you crazy?" hahaha. Anyway, I started school this week and it's kept me super busy but I have so many exciting news to share with you guys in the future! Can't wait!

Steve Madden Wedge/ Laugh Cry Repeat skirt c/o aSociete / Vintage Polka-Dot Blouse

Ever since aSociete sent over this skirt, I can't seem take it off. I am seriously obsessed with it! I think it goes well with everything I own. When I'm feeling lazy, I just throw on this skirt, a knit sweater and I'm out the door. I can also wear it on a night out, it's so versatile! If you guys haven't already checked out their site I highly recommend you do! I have my eye on a few items too:

I also did an interview with aSociete, check out the interview here.

Turquoise Chain Necklace C/O aSociete/ Jeffrey Campbell Lita/ H&M Knit/ Brandy Melville Skirt

Being a full time student is time consuming, exhausting and can be very expensive. As a person

who likes to stay on top of the latest fashion trends I know how costly it can get. This is why

I love the website aSociete! They are a small and affordable website created by college students

for college students who are also on a budget. They have brands from T-Squad to Betsey Johnson

and all up to 50%-80% off, it's crazy! And even if your not a college student who doesn't like

a good sale right? So I highly recommend everyone to go check out aSociete!

Top Three Favorites this Month.

2011-12-22T01:36:00.000-08:00

Look 1. American Flag Button Up, Thrifted/ Vintage Levi's/ Steve Madden Wedge
I was beyond excited when I found this American Flag shirt in my local thrift store!

Look 2. Rose Top, Ebay/ Leather Shorts, UO/ Wedges

I always wanted the American Apparel Rose top but quiet frankly I thought it was way to expensive, so when I came across this "look-alike" on ebay I knew it had to be mine.

Look 3. Jeffrey Campbell Glitter Platform

My most recent splurge! I am so excited to wear these because since New Years is around the

corner I knew this would be the perfect shoe and will carry on to be the perfect summer shoe!

Roaming Aroung in my New Tee.

2011-12-19T01:07:00.000-08:00

American Apparel lace shorts/ Steve Madden Wedges/Open Skull Tee

I usually don't wear tee's but when I saw this one I immediately fell in love with it because of the exposed back and I thought it would go perfect with my American Apparel laced shorts and my favorite "Steve Madden" wedges. On another note, I really hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Especially because school is finally over, well at least till the end of winter break.

2011-12-08T22:09:00.001-08:00

Vintage Dolce & Gabbana corset / DIY Levi's

This vintage Dolce & Gabbana floral corset has been one of the most amazing finds I've ever came across. So I decided to shoot in it today because I couldn't wait to wear it and show it to you guys! In other note, This week has been one of the busiest weeks of my life due to the fact I've been taking finals but I'm happy to say it's almost over.

Wild Fox Spring 2012

2011-12-02T17:28:00.001-08:00

Wild fox out did themselves again! I love all the pieces of their up and coming collection. I can't wait for it to fully be out, you guys can actually purchase some things on there website now, I love all the pastel colors and how girlie this collection is.

I'm still wearing shorts and it's Fall.

2011-11-29T13:35:00.001-08:00

Vintage button up/ UO knee socks/ Brandy Melville Floral Shorts/ Steve Madden Boots

To be honest I was a bit hesitant to post this outfit only because my camera was acting up that day and the pictures were not as I wished. As you can tell they're a bit blurry but oh well. My current obsession is knee socks with short shorts only because fall here in LA consist of shining sun and craving ice cream. What I'm trying to say is LA is still really hot and you never know what to expect with this bipolar weather. I'm also currently obsessed with "Instagram" so make sure to follow me: Rubilove!

I'll wear American even during the Fall.

2011-11-08T14:21:00.000-08:00

Open shoulder blouse $43/ DIY American shorts/ Steve Madden Wedges

Finally I have myself a pair of "The American Flag Shorts!" Honestly I've been lusting over them for a while now and I was not going to spend $100 on a pair so I decided to make a pair of my own. I think they came out pretty good for only spending a total of $3-4 dollars on them. I know this is not your average fall wardrobe but it's ok! Oh, and before i forget I don't usually edit my pictures but I recently discovered "Instagram" and I'm in love with the effects, hope you guys like them.

I want to wear my new wedges everywhere I go.

2011-10-04T01:38:00.000-07:00

Vintage Clutch/ DIY tee/ Steve Madden wedges/ f21 skirt

I am in LOVE with my new Steve Madden wedges! I seriously want to wear them everywhere I go. Also, a frequent question I've been getting lately is What hair products do I use? So I thought I would just dedicate a post to this question.
Honestly, I don't really use any special products, the shampoo I use is Dove shampoo and conditioner. As far as what I use to get the waves, I use the "Herstyler Stick Curler" I purchased it in my local mall. I'm sure if you guys google it you guys can easily find it. I hope this was helpful.

I've been looking for the perfect boot and I finally found them so get ready to see them a lot in the future hahaha!

Wearing: Forever 21 shorts, Vintage blouse + Floppy Hat

I'm obsessed with my new Forever 21 shorts, even though they don't look like it, they fit me a little to big because there was only one pair left and they were size Medium and I'm size small. But i didn't care, I really wanted them!

Anyway, even though I've been so busy lately I've still managed to keep posting as often as I can.. and I promise it's going to stay that way ;)

Tribute To my Shorts.

2011-08-13T18:04:00.000-07:00

Almost every single one of my post lately, I've been wearing shorts.. What can I say though it's summer! I feel like my closet is over flowing with all types of shorts I should probably start my summer clean out soon.

Vintage Blazer/ Cut off Levi's/ Tan Messenger Bag/ Aldo lace up booties

Like promise, I got to shoot in a rooftop this time! Trying to go up stairs with heels on is definitely a challenge but I was willing to take the risk. I'm blogging right before I go out tonight and this is what i will be wearing on a night on the town. Anyway, as you can tell my spring wardrobe is full of light colors, floral prints, and lace and not to mention this messenger bag i've been wearing non-stop. I use to post weekly buys on here before, maybe I shall start again, so keep your eyes posted!

Expect an outfit post this week!

Hello Spring, I love you.

2011-04-05T22:24:00.000-07:00

For the past two weeks, my days have consisted of driving to Santa Monica and trying new foods. I have an obsession for eating and trying new things. As odd as that might sound I love food, haha. But who doesn't right? I have so many photos I want to share with you guys, from a few shoots I did to my photo journal but I guess that will have to wait till a future post. The floral shorts I am wearing in the photos above were gifted to me by a friend and they are my favorite floral shorts, i love the colors and detailing on the bottom perfect for spring!

LA weather is perfect for short shorts.

2011-03-16T23:51:00.000-07:00

Don't mind my hair; ever since I cut it today was the very first time it didn't cooperate with me. Anyhow, I wen't to a special screening for "The Hangover part 2" today (which by the way was halarious) and afterwards strolled down the "Americanas" with my boyfriend and grabbed some yummy lunch. I found these amazing flowy shorts in a yard sale for only two dollars and like I mentioned before the weather in LA is amazing wearing shorts is in my daily agenda.

Candace Wakefield, is one of the most talented photographers I have ever worked with and with the photos above I can probably prove my point :) This wasn't my first time working with her and certainly not my last.

Note: I will be posting iteams for sale soon, stay toon!

Floral Legs.

2011-01-14T23:15:00.000-08:00

H&M floral jeans/ Thrifted blouse

Believe it or not, I hate wearing jeans! I know weird right? But when I walked into H&M a few days ago I stumbled into these great floral ones, I wasn't so sure wether to get them or not but when I realized they were on sale for only 10 dollars I didn't think twice. I love the floral print on them. Anyway, the weather has been so nice lately it's that time when you can wear what ever you want because it's not to cold to wear a dress and its not to hot to wear a jacket, i love it! xx.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything.

2011-01-05T19:36:00.000-08:00

Sitting in bed under the covers at the moment listening to "lullaby" by The Cure, it's been so cold here in LA, all i want to do is drink hot coco and cuddle under my sheets. I can't believe its already 2011, wow where does time go? I hope everyone had a good new years. Anyway, Here are the lepord wedges i talked about in my last post i love them!

Indian Love.

2010-12-16T17:08:00.000-08:00

I've been so addicted to online shopping lately, I really should stop but I can't. The other day I ordered Leopard wedges and they arrived today I can't wait to show you guys! Finally the holidays are here! I feel like as the years go by the less christmas spirit there is, maybe cause i'm getting older? Either way I love sugar cookies, hot coco, christmas lights and the smell of pine trees.

I hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

Somewhere by the Sea.

Photographer: Christal Perez

I can't even explain to you guys how happy I am to be shooting again. I had been so busy with everything else that i stopped for a while. This was my second time shooting with Christal she is always a pleasure to work with and an amazing photographer I must add. We shot in the beautiful beach of Malibu, we walked far enough to finally find the perfect spot. Fun Fact: I re- did my whole room + closet I am planning on taking photos and showing you guys because I am in love!

2010-09-06T22:32:00.000-07:00

Andrea Pun is one of the most amazing photographers I've ever met. I've been lucky to actually been able to work with her in the past not once but twice. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is truly an inspiration. She has a lot going for her, i am so happy with all the success she's achieved. She is now shooting fashion and let's face it this girl is going to make it big. Enjoy more of her work here, and here is one of the photos she shot of me back in the beginning of this year:

(Floral Skirt $2, thrifted. Silk top $ 15. Demin Vest GAP, Thrifted, Random Jewls) It's been so hot here in LA, I can't decide wether I like it or hate it. I insist of wearing my cut off levi's daily and silk top's and to add a little extra funk i just throw on random jewelry. All I want to do is sit by a pool and sip cold drinks. Though the hot weather I can't wait for my hair to grow.. My apologies for the overload.

Is an amazing photographer I shot with recently. You can't tell in the shots but we actually shot in the rain. We didn't want to cancel so we decided to do it as it was. I thought I was going to freeze but it was actually really fun.

Wore: Floral Legging, Ruffled Leather jacket, Butterfly Dress, Brown Tank.
