If you love hiking and mountaineering, you won't regret going to Utah. Living in LA, we have been spending most of weekends by the beach. The cliffs at Malibu are magnificently beautiful but not as epic as the mountains in Utah. Inspired by some amazing Instagrammers and Photographers in Utah, Robert and I decided to drive to Utah and explore these mountains. As a fashion blogger, I brought  my favorite summer dresses and trendy flats to glam up my road trip :)

After about eight hours of drive, we arrived at this little town close to Zion Park. On our way to the Park, we stopped at a beautiful farm called Fort Zion. We had fun at its sunflower field, alpacas petting farm and vintage boutiques. There was amazing mountain view behind the sunflower field. Robert snapped a few shots with 50mm at this cute field. I was wearing my favorite ruffle-sleeve olive dress with lace details and open back - super comfortable to wear yet effortless to style on the road. 

​A NEW SUMMER HAIRSTYLE BY MASTER STYLIST KEYA at 42FAIR Pasadena!!!
So obsessed with soft balayage which helps me easily achieve a natural blonder look for summer!
Balayage hair color is a French technique that is the latest dye trend to gain international popularity. The goal is to create soft, natural-looking highlights that look more modern than traditional coloring methods.
My natural hair is dark brown. Keya lightened my base color to a lighter brown and added medium blonde highlight mixed with the brown hair. The final look is gradually toned from medium brown to blonde. This color makes my total look more sophisticated but still natural. Keya used Kerastase haircare products to moisturized and repair my dry hair damaged by sun exposure and regular blow-dry. After the haircare, he trimmed the split ends and created higher layers to make it lightweight and healthy. Balayage technique is something universally good for all age and all skin tones. 
After blow-dry and curling, here my new look is done! Shinning, lightened, texturized, my hair is totally ready for special occasions.

Yes! I am such a strong believer of Timelessness and Elegance. As much as I get inspired by the current trend, I always like to include something classic but chic in my looks. This time I collaborated with a  vintage boutique on Melrose - Golden Age Vintage for these fun looks. 

Another exciting season of LAFW took place in Beverly Hills and Hollywood last week. I attended the amazing events and shows as an ambassador. This is a quick recap of my event and street looks for the entire week, enjoy!!!

This is my first long knit vest - I'm so late to this vest game butI just can't stop wearing it and blogging it for the whole spring. This vest is very versatile, which can be matched with a simple black dress for a work outfit or with a T-shirt and jeans like the look on the picture for a casual street look. For colors, I recommend this light grey for knit. If it's a silk or cotton vest, nude or army green will look cool. The styling of long vest is pretty easy - the same as how we layer a long blazer. By the way, this vest was from BacianoDesign, a label born in LA. 
I am actually gonna bring this look to LA Fashion Week. What you think? 

Trench coat is a versatile and sophisticated staple piece for spring style. I wear it as a casual outfit or on cocktail party occasions. This look was just a simple match with a little black dress and strapped sandals for extra elegance and modernity. You can even cinch it around the waist, roll up the sleeves or pair it with skinny jeans or yoga pants - there are tons of fun ways to style a trench. For an alluring look, you might need some fabrics contrast such as a silk or velvet top inside to glam it up. 

​Exaggerated ruffle-sleeve blouses have been spotted on every top fashion blogger. So for this season I tried to style a ruffle-sleeve blouse to my look. This latest ruffle trend is unique, chic and feminine which adds a sophisticated update to the classic blouse. It's so hard to pick a right one. Then I came back to basics - a very white clean one with exaggerated sleeves. In this look, I paired this blouse with a leopard print mini skirt and over-knee leather booties. The Hermes birkin was borrowed from my mother :P And I added a layered black choker to finish this urban look. 

Despite the fast arrival of spring, it has been raining for a while in LA :( 
Bad weather definitely can't stop me from shopping farmer's market with some style - the fresh fruits, vegetables and don't forget to bring some sweets home. 
Some winter pieces can effortlessly be transformed to a casual spring look. 

      It's almost the first day of Fall (isn’t it 9/22?)! I can't believe summer is over, so soon... When it’s still over 75 degree in West Hollywood, the fashioninstas are gearing up for the fashion week month. For me, good thing about fall is that I can have fun layering my favorite items with literally no sweat:P This week I am very busy with a few SS18 fashion weeks in Los Angeles. So much great inspiration on and off runway builds up my long shopping lists...
     This time I would like to share this simple fall look that almost got all my obsessions for this season - embroidery, kimono, floral and mesh sheath...It's all about the incredible details. Are these almost all the hit hashtags? The more, the merrier. We never get enough key words and hashtags but how?

This piece of cape blazer is such an architectural beauty that perfectly finished this minimal and modern look. I would never look so fly in a mininalistic look. This look is a little bit more dramatic than my typical looks but sometimes fashion is about fearlessness. And then, don't forget to add some metallic touch by gold accessories. More is more. 

Hello, Fashionistas, if you check my latest posts on Instagram, you will find that I'm wearing this jacket all this season! This floral-embroidered olive jacket has become my go-to outfit for spring looks. Embroidered organza and constructions of flowers and peacocks (:P) completed the flattery utilitarian look. The sex-neutral silhouette of this military jacket strongly contrasted with the lavish textual and stylish embroideries. I just love it! It mixed well with my over-knee heeled booties and fit-and-flare dress. It's always fun to fuse these pretty details into a total look that makes your style stand out.

With its third season in Los Angeles, LA fashion week launched its influencer program which included prominent men and women from the Los Angeles community. Chris Han, a local style blogger is here to tell you about her blog, personal style, and other tips and tricks to being a blogger and influencer.

Tell us about your style blog?
My blog (www.chrishanxoxo.com) shares wardrobe tips and beauty guide with international audience. My goal is to help women to discover their own personal styles and feel their beauty inside and out. Attending fashion weeks, I am bringing the latest trend from runway to street to make it wearable and versatile looks and make audience look great everyday. This style blog also shares my fashion week experience with like-minded people – highly educated, urban dwelling, social media-inspired women.

Who is your biggest inspiration when it comes to your personal style?
My mother. From an apparel manufacturer to a designer, she is always the fashion icon, who influenced me since I was little. Her early style was toward romantic Parisian and later she fell in love with classic silhouettes. I was very conservative about what I wore. My mother encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone to go bold and to try something new.

What trend are you over?
Boho-chic is my favorite. Boho chic is an unconventional fashion between bohemian and urban chicness. Opening my wardrobe, I have lots of floral dresses, oversized shirts, ripped jeans and rompers. I just can’t have enough of these.

I never thought about bringing pearl necklace to my looks until I came across this beautiful pearl piece at Modern Design Inc. This long pearl necklace is designed and handcrafted by skilled artisans. I ended up wearing it almost for every recent looks - this is so fashionable that I can effortless mix and match it to my casual Friday looks and on my little dresses for special occasions. The colorful pearls well balance with each other. The silver rings on the chain add some fun to the elegant freshwater pearls. When I wear this gorgeous piece of jewelry, with all the excellent details and unique design, I can feel the heart and sweat of the artist behind it. I truly enjoy the experience of getting the right jewelry for me at Modern Design. 

​How to create flawless camera-ready complexion? How to play with bold matte lip paint for a glam Asian girl’s look? Today I collaborated with Influenster and tried the Ultra HD Foundation cream and sticker from Make Up For Ever. Get this glam bold look in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES! 
Thank you all for watching! Hope you enjoy and have fun with all the makeup goodies!

When you have more than three color touchups a year, you probably have to worry about the fuzzy tangled hair, like me. We all feel so great when we walk out of the salon with freshly colored vibrant. But this is the beginning of a battle against your dry, tangled, fuzzy hair and split ends.
