Hi there!

I picked up this NastyGal tee showcasing one of my all time fave bands: Fleetwood Mac. Free People is also selling it in off white and black, whereas NastyGal has it in pure white and black. I styled my tee with my high waisted Madewell jeans from Nordstrom (a total fave they fit so well!) and threw on a red velvet blazer I was gifted recently from LondonRag! By the way London Rag has 40% off most items on their site currently! Get an additional 20% off with my code CAR20. Nasty Gal has a 60% off site wide sale going on too! The hoops are Ettika. Carolina10 is my discount code with them.

Adding the blazer instantly dressed up the outfit and gave it a party feel. It made me feel like going to a concert but for now I’ll settle for a socially distanced walk with my husband to our fave restaurant for a pickup order and back home for date night, lol.

Stay safe guys! Thanks NastyGal for continuing to put up a Stay at Home series as well as the other brands I mentioned in a previous post. Free People Movement had a fitness week of IG lives recently and the classes from different studios were amazing!

Xo,

Carolina

Hi there!

I’ve moved to Toronto from LA, just to add another city to my list, hehe. No, in fact wonderful life changes are happening (upcoming wedding and more) and I relocated but I am looking forward to also working in Toronto.

Speaking of Toronto the look above was photographed in Toronto as well as at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on a recent business trip to Cleveland, Ohio! I’m loving these rust-colored 70s corduroy flares from Vici Dolls, with one of my oldie but goodie Rock and Roll band tees with “The Who” on it, and an oversized cable cardi I recently picked up from Nordstrom. I’m styling them with either my white teddy coat (a Walmart.com find!) or my grey suede moto jacket I’ve blogged about before, my Gucci Soho bag, my Free People “Reach for the Star” ankle cowboy boots and Ettika star earrings. Use code Carolina10 for 10% off sitewide on Ettika jewelry!

Boho is always my vibe but especially with a little bit of a rock and roll twist. It’s warm and stylish and effortless!

Xo,

Carolina

Hi there!

I had some fun on a recent return to LA shooting this look. A go-to fashion staple of mine is the band tee, and my Tom Petty t-shirt pictured is a favorite of mine. It’s handmade (distressed) by Tasch NYC, a New York handmade all-woman company! I’ve blogged about them before in another 70s bell bottom, velvet platform, faux fur jacket look shot in Manhattan, where I featured her Janis Joplin tee.

I styled the t-shirt with my LoveShack Fancy eyelet skirt, small Parisian boutique combat boots which are exact Balmain dupes, and my beloved oldie-but-goodie Topshop faux fur teal jacket. My Gucci GG Marmont Velvet Shoulder Bag matches the coat so well, so I chose that to finish off the look!

Life’s too short not to have fun with fashion:)

Xo,

Lina
