Free People X HelielyB

______________________________________

I'm here...eyes closed, toes in the sand with wind tossed hair, a smirk slides across my face, this is it. Winter has slowly gone by and the blankets of Spring sunshine and breeze has settled in this part of California. It's that time again for floral dresses, high waisted shorts, sandals, crop tees, and the likes to emerge out of the closet and tuck away everything else that would scream "it's too hot" haha I've just discovered a new artist that i'll be adding on to my summer playlist: Tom Misch and his sister Laura Emma, they've got that jazzy hip-hop feel that I can't get enough of and hey, its pretty awesome music to jam while on a driving adventure. Have a listen:




So heres thanks to Free People for gifting me this lovely pair of heels and this beautiful dress. I'm a lover of lace up heels and this...this is just perfection I mean its a Jeffrey Campbell x Free People Collaboration..it says enough. Scroll down for the links!

IT'S RAINING! IT'S RAINING! IT'S FINALLY RAINING!!!
(doing the happy dance hehe)
I'm one of those girls that get into high spirits when sweater weather comes dashing in, and the cool breeze meets my overly excited face as I step outside my door! Gahhh if only more days like these come much more often than Santa Ana winds ahaha but hey, for today i'm a happy duck.

So here's the outfit I wore earlier today, kept switching back from having pants and being pantless (not to worry I just wore pants under the dress ahaha) but during this time I just settled to keeping the dress on its own. This over-sized coat from Cotton-on helped a bunch load in keeping me warm. $15 sale SO worth it! ahaha OH! and not to mention, thank you to Furor Moda for this lovely turtle neck dress! hehe I've always had a thing for turtle necks when I was younger and my boyfriend used to laugh at me for it even to this day it remains in his memories haha...I was ahead - somewhat - of my time ok??
Anyways, I hope you're all enjoying the weather in Cali because I AM!!

With Love,
Heliely

Adventures in Striped Turtle Neck Dresses

Happy Wednesdays everyone!!
You know that feeling where you think it's close to the weekend and you start jumping for joy only to find it's just Wednesday...Wednesday...its like another Tuesday..I mean why Wednesday?!?!?!?! Well anyways, that's me right now. It's almost the end of another semester and I can't understand why school seems so exciting when going back, but becomes a drag towards the middle of it. You'd think I'd get used to this feeling haha (Mind the endless random rants of a 21 year old college student.)
Lets just focus on this lovely striped turtle neck dress from Sugarlips! Again - my love/obsession for back details - this dress just became perfection for me with its little "sneak peak" of a back! Its like that expression of business in the front and party in the back expression ahaha I can't believe I used that connection o.O but I'm sure you all understood me..yes? maybe? no?

Be back soon!

With love,
Heliely

Leopard Prints & Lace dresses

I've discovered that I have a love for all things "gypsy-like" although this dress isn't as gypsy-like as I want it to be the sleeves come a tinge little close to it. I just love flappy sleeves in dresses as well as the touch of lace here and there. 

I seem to always find myself glancing at my closet and shaking my head as I have done so many times since I have so much, yet still I am sadly not satisfied. The contents in my closet range from boxes of shoes and stacks of knit sweaters, tops, dress, jackets, blazers of all kinds - you'd think I'd stop - but the want for more goes on....I guess human nature will never be satisfied with what we have right in front of us. God is amazingly good, why? Because He honestly gave us more than enough.

On a lighter note, these photos were also taken by my little sister haha I had to use a stand since she believes my Nikon d5000 is too heavy for her petite hands. Oh! and as you can see I've been having a great dose of fun mixing and matching with these Leopard print heels from Zara! I was jumping for ecstatic, over-flowing joy when I finally received the shipment from Zara (and slightly guilty - less monies in my pocket)! I felt like a kid again arriving home with stacks and stacks of twix and kit-kat bars ready for me to pounce on them...I sound like a a crazy lunatic, maybe the word "pounce" isn't the right word but oh well. As of right now I'm in no right mind to pry my head open for decent vocabulary words, maybe I should go back to sleep...

Goodmorning...and goodnight?
Much love, Heliely

My Little Floral Piece

Wearing: Dress from here, heels from Forever21; floral headpiece DIY! haha had such an awesome time with my twin Kimberly Anne (her blog here).

Before heading out the buy the supplies for the floral piece I took a few pics of Kim for her look on lookbook (here)and also her blog. After that we took out my little sisters for some frozen yogurt because Temecula is waaay too hot, this whole week it'll be 100 degree if not lets just say 99 degrees - not really much of a difference its still hot as ever >.<" We then headed to Michaels to get our supplies, just some flowers, floral wire and floral tape(except the tape did not help at all because it wasn't sticking ahaha) and we headed home to work on it. Turns out it was pretty easy and took us maybe 30 minutes or so? or was it an hour...hmm well it turned out beautifully as you can tell haha well I hope you guys are enjoying your summer!! I'll be going to family camp in 2 days!! Don't miss me too much haha
