Velvety Goodness

Good Afternoon here from California! 
I am beyond happy to finally have cold weather after such a long period of hot hot hotness haha
It rained last night and I came home feeling energetic that I decided to workout with my cousin, sister, and friend for a good two hours or so. I was pretty surprised how awake I felt considering the fact that I came home around 12am in the morning, went straight to the gym and came home around 2am!
High five to successfulness! haha
---------------------

On another note! After my boyfriend picked me up to grab some breakfast, he offered to take my photos this time around, and so here they are! :)

I recently received my package from Frontrowshop.com a few weeks ago and I picked out this oh-so-comfortable-keep-me-warm-everyday-oversized sweater and let me tell you it is just exactly as how I named it if not more. ahaha I'd live in this sweater if I could from morning to night - that's just how awesome this velvety goodness is!

Collective Habit X HelielyB: Last Look!

Hello my fellow readers!
So here's to the last look from my collective habit shoot!
Cheers!! I hope you guys enjoyed each look as much as I did.
It was such an awesome, exciting, and fun experience (thank you so much Kim!).
For this look we decided to go with the timeless "black on black" theme.
A little black dress from Stylestalker, grabbed a larger size on the outerwear to add a bit more layers, as well as a simple knit sweater to wrap around the waist, and a perfect slouchy beanie to top it all off like cherry on an amazing sundae haha so, yes I twisted this LBD into a more comfortable look hehe

xoxo,
Heliely

COLLECTIVE HABIT X HELIELYB: Look #4

After such a long, busy, and tiring weekend I am finally - FINALLY - going to have my day off tomorrow
(doing the happy dance)!
I'm no rich lady over here, so i'm doing my best working in retail as well as finishing school. (Ahhh the things you have to do to grow up right?!) Although life is treating me with lots of life-long and worthy lessons, I'm hanging in there. "Never give up, work hard, and stay positive. Good things will happen in time!"

There's so much out there, it'd be a waste not to reach out and grab them when you can...
-----------------------------
So here's the fourth look! Loving the beanie like always and heeeeeyyy it's almost that kinda weather to grab an amazing fur coat for the season!

COLLECTIVE HABIT X HELIELYB: Look #3

Extremely late and very tired at this hour but I couldn't help but do a short post/update on the third look with Collective Habit (site here). I've always been a fan of Australian labels, they've got this amazing structure in most if not all of their designs - and Cameo the label is one of my favorites!

Therefore, I was overjoyed knowing I had the amazing opportunity to wear one of their dresses! haha A dream come trueeee! I kept it simple to keep the dress the focal point, with its slit back addition and flared dropped-waist detail ahhh can't say no to this lovely thing!

 Enjoy the pictures!

xoxo,
Heliely

New Beginning

-----------------------------------------
------------------
This week became a new beginning for 4 girls (me included hehe), we moved out this past Monday and it's just a blessing and crazy to know how far we've come and how old we're becoming..man. God is good. Lots of changes, lots or obstacles, and lots and lots of new memories will take place in this new home of ours. Ahhhh I'm doing cartwheels inside - excited, nervous, and scared all at the same time -
Cheers to a NEW BEGINNING!!!

Boyfriend Tees and Slit Skirts

------------
------------------
---------------------------------
Good Morning!
Hope you all are having an awesome Wednesday!
I was a tad bit lazy to upload these pictures last night, but I felt more energized this morning so here they are! haha
I've been wanting a flannel shirt from my boyfriend for a while now (3 years back when we first started dating...so yes I waited patiently) and it's only now he finally handed one over. Why? Because over-sized things are my best friends and whats more perfect than having it from your boyfriend right? I mean...I don't know maybe i'm just odd that way but I love knowing I can wear his clothes out hehe (if only I could steal them from his closet ahaha)
Oh! and one more thing! I've been dreaming of the perfect slit skirt and I've been searching and searching everywhere to find one that wasn't too much for my small pocket and Hokkfabrica came to my rescue!
This slit skirt is just so classic and once that zip goes up, it transforms any girl to classy and sexy in seconds. Am I right or am I right?
It isn't too much and what I just love about it is that you can adjust the slit to your liking.
Check out their site and grab one before they're gone!

Tropical Tops & Skater Skirts

______________________________
_______________________________________
Hello My lovelies!
As you can see I grabbed some yummy cookies & cream ice cream before I did my quick photo op and gobbled it up as fast as I could...my soon to be roommie - Kimmie (blog here) - took some not-so-great-looking photos of me while I was eating and so no...I will not share those unsightly things...maybe...I'll think about it ahaha
So, lately I've been seeing lots of tropical prints earlier this summer and I wasn't able to wear this top from Line & Dot (gifted by this sweet gal named Kristen -blog here- whom I have not met yet! But hoping one day I will soon haha) until now so here it is! Styled it with a simple flared/skater skirt from Forever21 and finished it off with some lace-up heels from Windsor Smith (my fav find this whole year). Once you find a pair of perfect heels..ahhh happy doesn't even come close to describing it!

****BTW! If you all haven't heard about LINE & DOT you've got to visit their site! They've got some lovely pieces that you just can't say no to!
