And here we have an outfit from last week... I had a pretty relaxing weekend and didn't shoot any outfit photos. Happy Monday!

Ninás by Stone Cold Fox for Urban Outfitters

Baby doll dress ,Crochet top

I'm a huge fan of California based fashion label Stone Cold Fox. They create the most dreamy pieces, using beautiful fabrics with lace details. The ladies have collaborated with another favorite of mine, Urban Outfitters, creating a 6 piece line that range from $89-$199. Pretty awesome, right? You can shop the collection, Ninás by Stone Cold Fox for Urban Outfitters here! I've already made my purchase, can't wait for it to get here!

In this digital age of sharing, I realize that I'm not so great at the sharing portion of it. During the moments that could be captured for beautiful photos, I often forget to break out my cellphone or camera to snap the shot. But, I was able to make sure to get some photos this weekend!

I'm really excited to share with you photos of the bathing suit that I made because to be honest, I'm super proud of it! Although, it does feel a bit weird to be posting in a bathing suit. I couldn't find any online bathing suit patterns that were a retro style, so I went ahead and used this BurdaStyle lingerie pattern. I used swimsuit material and was sure to line it as well. For the bandeau top, I drafted my own pattern (which, if you all are interested I can make a video tutorial of how I did that).

Anyways, I was glad that I was able to showcase some of my DIY style over the weekend, and I hope you enjoyed this short photo diary!

Zara top (similar), H&M jeans (similar), ASOS rings & heels

Finally got some color and layers put into my hair, which as you ladies know can make you feel like a brand new person. These new heels from ASOS came in the mail today (along with these stackable rings) and have filled the void of easy-to-walk-in-heels. Cuff your jeans with these babies and you are ready to take the world on...or maybe just be ready to pose by some flowers. I'll take either of the options!

I love lightweight skirts that have a simple print on them because they are so perfect for the summer months. Pair them with a blouse or a tank top and you are good to go!

half time

DIY sweatshirt (Nasty Gal Inspired), Kasil shorts, ASOS boots (similar), Target necklaces

Having previously sworn off the crop top, I surprised myself by wearing this sweatshirt. I really liked the Nasty Gal Half Time cropped sweatshirt and this old sweatshirt needed a revamp (I blame a burrito stain.) In between studying for work related reasons, I'm working on a new DIY video! I wish I had a pretty studio to shoot them in, but for now you will have to deal with my dining room table, okay? See ya soon~

CottonOn shorts (similar), A.n.a. tee, Urban Outfitters heels, H&M chain, Michael Kors watch

I guess I'm slightly allergic to looking directly at the camera today. Today marks the first day I've ventured to the outside world since Friday, after being glued to the couch with some sort of illness. This pretty much led to much instagram browsing, and a strong sense of wanderlust (is that term too over used?). Anyways, who wants to go to Bali?
