Viva Mexico

{Thrift Store white ruffled shirt, High rise shorts from TJ Maxx, Accesories Forever21 and Buffalo Exchange, Shoes Tj Maxx} Today we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, it is a celebration that is very misunderstood.  it is not time to drink up and to Mexican’s in Mexico it is not the true day celebrate the day of Mexico’s independence from France.  Mexico’s Independence is on September 16, Cinco de Mayo is the first battle Mexico won against France. I love my culture and very proud of where I was born.  I love the stories of Pancho Villa and knowing that Frida Kahlo shares my heritage is something that I am very proud of.  My outfit is a small glimpse of Frida Kahlo’s fashion, she was a true inspiration.  The bright colors, the ethnic patterns, and hair style is something I wanted to focus on I wanted it to look very similar to Frida Kahlo.   

Journey of a Dress

{Tj Maxx  crop Top, Windsor Leather Jacket, Peter Pilotto for Target skirt, Olsenboye Strappy heels, Ray ban glasses, Vintage purse, Mar Jacobs watch} The Journey of a designer specially Diane Von Fursteberg Story is one to really look out for.  She was able to work with the times and give woman freedom with the rap dress.  Specially during the 70’s when woman were fighting for equal rights.  Her wrap dress itself gave women the freedom to wear what they desired and it was accessible, while still being fashion forward.  Having the opportunity to witness all these dresses was something eye opening. I wanted to wear an outfit that went with the patterns Miss Furstenberg has created over the years and my skirt was a perfect representation of those dress. I hope you all enjoy your weekend, xoxo Charms of Penny

I say this because, I fell in love with this skirt the moment I set my eyes on it.  Best part of this skirt is that they’re are so many endless possibilities of how to wear it.  This will be my bing bang to start of the week.  Happy Monday everyone and enjoying the beautiful weather.

I left my Heart in San Francisco

Published by

{Levis Pants, Vintage Leopard Jacket, Target shirt, Target Sunglasses, Cathy Jean Boots, Forever 21 earrings and ring} Ok so maybe I’m a bit obsessed with this city, so much so that I have dedicated three separate entrees to it. Yes its that magical and yes you should go and see for yourself what I am talking about.  The title speaks for itself, so far I have left my heart in San Fran everything about it was perfect, what made it even more perfect is that I had the opportunity to share these moments with my love. I dont know what it was, but this city brought my wild rock and roller side… literally I’m wearing leopard jacket..This outfit was a bit more risky to something I would not normally wear, honestly I loved that I took that risk. 

China Town

  {Vintage Jacket, Forever 21 sweater, Levis Jeggins, Cathy Jean boots} The afternoon in this beautiful city is unexplainable.  I finally understand what Mark Twain meant when he said, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”  I am so use to my LA weather, which is nothing below 70 degrees. I was so glad that i packed layer upon layers of extra jackets.   Even though I was cold the rays of the sun illuminated the city in a way that I have never seen before. In honor of the city I had to continue with boho style.  It was the perfect moment to wear my faux fur jacket it was super warm.  Walking on this street it reminded me of the Jack Nicholson movie, besides the title of the movie, I think it was the fact that the streets were busy.  Every corner had something to offer.  We finally stopped and ate at R& G Lounge restaurant.  It was hands down the best Chinese Food I have ever had. …

Road trip to San Francisco

{Minnetonka boots, Target Jeans, Thrift Store Sweater, Sailor Hat, Target Sunglasses, Marc Jacobs watch} I love being able to have spontaneous adventures with my boyfriend.  It is one of those things that really defined our relationship.  We listened to our favorite jams and road down on PCH; talked about things that normally we dont get the chance to do with our busy schedules.   Driving to San Francisco was a great experience, so many happy cows and beautiful beaches.  I had the song by Scott Mckenzie in my mind the whole time.  The experience like the song by Mckenzie, so relaxing full of awe.  I wanted to symbolize the vibes of being free spirited with my outfit, which by the way was extremely comfortable. Thank you for stopping by make sure you leave a lovely comment, XOXO Charms of Penny   

Waiting on a Fairy Tale

(Urban Outfitter Dress, Marc Jacobs oxfords, Vintage Straw Hat, Ray Ban Sunnies) The Huntington Library is the place in Los Angeles that is constant reminder that someday I have to travel.  It is a place where it has a combination of Royalty, all things precious, and beautiful Asian gardens.  Just to compliment the look I wore a more vintage look it consisted of a polkadot dress ( my favorite pattern) my penny shoes and straw hat.  Its funny to think that this look came together in a matter of 5 minutes. Its funny, but those are the best looks.       

Blue Suede Shoes

(Forever21 sunglasses, Levis Black Jeggings, Thrift Store Shirt, and H&M Heels) Rain is coming to California, yet I’m still reminiscing on the beautiful sun light that I witness this past weekend. I spent the weekend in Pasadena baby sitting my cousins cute pups. I took the opportunity to take a walk around town. I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced this, but there is some items in my closet that even though they are so fashion forward and vintage, I can’t seem to think I can pull it off. The red shirt is a perfect example of what I am talking about. I bought this shirt at my local thrift store and it was a complete steal. Even as I am typing this I am slowly growing fond of it. My Levis specially this black jeggings remind me of “Bad” Sandy from Grease and just like her, I feel like a bad ass with them on. Ending the day at my favorite candy store added to my rebellion
