One thing I have been wanting to do is incorporate more fashion posts in my blogs. Before I got really really into makeup, I have always been a fashion freak. Maybe I didn't dress the super trendiest but I opted for the cutest, girliest clothes I felt comfortable in. Maybe you would call my style feminine-meets-boho-meets-prep. Yes, I'm pretty eclectic, but there most of the times I slip on a t-shirt and pants on lazy days. I am not the type that dresses up just to go to the grocery store.

I also feel a little weird and awkward with asking Cecilio to take lots of pictures of me for this blog, and he absolutely supports me and tells me anytime I want pictures he will take them. I am so thankful to be with a man who supports my passions and dreams. I don't know if it's just me though, but when when Cecilio and I go on adventures, I want us to both enjoy wherever whatever place has to offer us. I don't want it to be all about him taking pictures of me. I've felt like a lot of (not all, I promise) fashion bloggers just have their partners around to take pictures of them...at least most of the ones that have made it big (well they probably have their own professional photographers now). I don't mean to stereotype fashion bloggers, because I love fashion myself and I do want to include more style-based posts.

I got this super cute dress from Candie's® from Kohl's here (I didn't order it online). Candies® is a junior (teenage) brand. Even though I am 26 years old, I still love the clothes. I went in Kohl's a month and a half ago to buy an outfit for an interview, and I saw that this dress had a solid black version and it fit perfectly. So this hot pink frock with black & white rose sketches caught me eye. Definitely a "Hannah" style.

However, yesterday we went to the Davis Farmer's Market and the weather has finally started warming up in NorCal. I decided to pull up this little number. While I loved it, and it is a fitting dress for sunny seasons, I was SHOCKED with how short it was! I didn't notice it with the black version because I was wearing black tights for my interview. But wow, even the people who reviewed this dress complained about it being too short: I am 5'4" and it fell at my mid-thigh, and I was just wearing flats! I had to really be careful sitting or lying down, or getting out of the car in case I accidentally show a piece of goods. Yikes.

Spring also calls for pretty accessories, like my favorite bracelets shown above from Forever 21 and Francesca's Collections.

I have also had this hat for 3 years. I got it at the H&M in Santa Monica. Straw hats are definitely my favorite style: they add a coolness factor to your outfits during the spring and summer, protect your face from the sun while hiding bad hair days.
