Since I can remember, it's been a dream of mine to visit Europe and explore the other side of the world. Luckily, my parents also shared the same dream and during the summer of 2015, after I graduated college and my younger brother Dom graduated high school, we went on a family trip to our dream destination.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, who doesn't have the desire to visit the beautiful and magical city of Paris? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This trip was extremely eye-opening to me. Growing up, I've always wanted to travel the world and explore everything it had to offer. After coming home from the best trip of my life, I realized that it was the first step in that direction. I suddenly had the urge to continue traveling. I wanted to try new foods, experience different cultures, learn new languages, go on daring adventures, and take risks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before, I used to solely lust after material goods. I mean, this blog started out as a fashion blog for me to express my style. Comparing myself to other bloggers, I thought having the best and trendiest clothes and shoes would make me stand out, but I soon found myself losing money without anything to show for it. I was trying to prove myself for the wrong reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I want to dedicate my time and invest in traveling and experiences. I don't ever want to ask myself 'should I do it?' ever again, and instead, just book the plane ticket to where ever I want to go and let everything else fall into place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to invest in memories, adventures, exploration, and self-discovery.</div>

The view from our quaint hotel room was an elementary schoolyard. At first, I was unsure of why there was a school so close to a hotel, but as the days went on, I actually liked seeing how happy the little kids were, playing outside during recess and enjoying their time with friends (probably the only time I was ever tolerant of being that close to screaming children). </div>

What I fell in love with most in Paris was the beautiful architecture. Every building seemed to blend into each other despite the difference in modern and vintage styles. I also love the little glimpses of nature within the large city, with the Seine River running through and various large parks that decorated the metropolitan areas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also noticed that the locals were always dressed well. Not in a way that made it seemed as if they had just stepped off the runway, but I don't recall ever finding one local Parisian in sweats or slouchy clothing. Each person was well put together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I expected, Paris has become my favorite travel destination in the entire world - I'm in love with the Parisian lights. </div>

After just coming back from a recent trip, I couldn't wait to share the fun I had while on the beautiful island of Maui.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whenever I thought about visiting the islands of Hawaii, I only ever wanted to explore Oahu - I know, right? How basic. I'm not saying that the island isn't great, because I'm sure it's incredible, but it's also the first island most would think to visit. Oahu is tourist central. Well, most of Hawaii is, but Oahu more than the rest. I have a few friends that have either lived there, originated from there, or have also taken vacations there, and they've only had wonderful comments to say about the island, which only deepened my desire to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it came down to planning our family trip, I initially told my parents that I wanted to go to Oahu. My mom had lived there for a year, and they had taken their honeymoon there, so I knew they'd be able to navigate our way around easily. However, my mom immediately shot down that request and suggested we go some place none of us had ever been.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no clue about what Maui was like. All I knew was that we were going to be soaking in the sun and enjoying the island life. I assumed most of Hawaii was the same - rich in culture, relaxing by nature, and slow-paced in necessity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the first time I'd ever gone to Hawaii. I had dreamt of sipping on a fresh cut coconut, laying by the beach, with rhythmic reggae music playing, and basking in the sunlight. Now, it was going to come true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was also my first time taking Hawaiian Airlines. After about thirty minutes on the plane, I had made a conclusion - Hawaiian hospitality was no myth, and that Hawaiians were the nicest people I'd ever met <i>in my life</i>. There wasn't a single flight attendant without a smile on their face, they possessed a high level of patience and tolerance for demanding passenger's, and I cannot stress how polite these each one was. I knew that if this was my first impression of the locals without even stepping foot on the actual island itself, I was going to love every second of it.</div>

We stayed at the Sheraton Resort and Spa in Lahaina, Maui. With an open floor plan throughout the resort, allowing fresh air and the scents of the ocean to linger everywhere, the views made it just as spectacular. We were surrounded by vibrant green plants, colorful flowers, and clear blue water and sky.<br />
<br />
The resort itself offered a lot to guests - traditional luau's, multiple bars and restaurants, outdoor games, beach volleyball, and a water sports shack.<br />
<br />
It was a little bit of paradise.<br />

I mean, look at that VIEW. Waking up to that every morning instantly brightened my days.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I appreciated most about this trip was learning about the people who called paradise home. Not only were they incredibly kind, but they're easy going attitudes made me realize a lot about what life is about. Being isolated on this island away from the busy city life, I was reminded about the most important thing in life - happiness.<br />
<br />
Because of the slow paced environment, locals have learned to be come content and satisfied with their simple lives, a mentality that anyone living in the city isn't used to. Growing up near a huge (and very expensive) metropolitan city like San Francisco, it's a rat race to be at the top. Everyone wants more money, more clothes, more shoes, more this, more that, and I admit that I had been heavily influenced by it. Being surrounded by that your whole life, you become unsatisfied no matter how much you have.<br />
<br />
This trip made me take a step back, appreciate what I have, and to continue to remind myself that as life goes on, the things that I used to think were important are completely irrelevant to my happiness. It was a much deserved relaxing trip, and what I learned from it has completely changed my outlook in life.<br />
<br />
I hope to have many more trips like this, to learn and explore more of what the world has to offer.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
In honor of #ThrowbackThursday, I decided to post some pictures of our previous family trip to New York City during the summer of 2014.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have dreamed of going to NYC since birth. I've always been fascinated by the lights, the atmosphere, the fast-paced environment, and of course, the fashion. For my twenty-first birthday, I asked for a trip to NY as a gift from my parents but I never thought it would actually come true. Luckily for me, my parents know how to make me the happiest daughter on the face of the planet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
So, was New York all I ever dreamed it would be?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ummmm, YES.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know a lot of West Coast peeps that visit NY end up hating it because they think it's too congested, the people are rude, and it smells.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the crowd. I didn't have any negative encounters with people there, and to be honest, didn't smell at thing. Maybe growing up near a large city like San Francisco made me accustomed to the big city life, which is why I absolutely LOVED New York City.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promised to myself and everyone that I'm going to live there one day. My top two choices are between Manhattan (for obvious reasons) and Greenwich Village (I love the energy and the neighborhoods!).<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I'm studying business, and I want a career in the fashion corporate world, obviously, NYC would be the ideal location for me to head over to.</div>

Christmas (aka my FAVORITE day of the year) is here again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you don't know me by now, then I'll tell you the only thing you need to know - I. Love. Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's a bit of an understatement. I'm obsessed with Christmas. I start listening to Christmas music in August, taking out my decorations when Halloween candy comes out in stores, and I've hoarded three drawers full of holiday candles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the time, I get made fun of for it. People think it's weird or find it highly amusing that I love Christmas this much, but I refuse to apologize for loving the happiest time of year. I mean, it's more than just red cups at Starbucks and ugly Christmas sweater parties. The tradition of the holiday season is giving and I choose to give Christmas my everything.<br />
<br />
I get excited doing yearly traditions with my family, getting everyone together under one roof and just enjoying each other's company. I feel very blessed to be able to celebrate the holiday surrounded by my loved ones.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope your day is filled with happiness and love.<br />
<br />

I'm the happiest during fall because I love gloomy cold weather, candles, and fuzzy pajama's. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, being able to wear outfits like this that are comfortable, trendy, and perfect for holiday feasts, is also a main reason why fall is the season of my soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't worry about whether or not you need to unbutton those jeans for turkey - that's why they made elastic waistbands and loose fitting tops. Use them wisely.</div>

Um, <i>WOW</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only do I feel extremely old, but I also feel proud and accomplished for having kept this blog going on for that long. If you have been with me since the beginning, congratulations - you've practically grown up with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember getting the idea of starting a blog while talking to my friend Cat on the floor of our high school gym during PE Class our senior year of high school. I had been following Rumi Neely - aka the original fashion blogger who started it all - and was inspired by her, so much that I decided to start my own blog. If you go back far enough, you'll see my first (tragic) posts when Kaylyn Nicole used to be "Love & Labels" (oh, high school me). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This blog has gone through, literally, four different name/layout changes. Love & Labels, Style Infatuation, The Style Muse, and finally, Kaylyn Nicole. I've thought about deleting my old posts before, in order to keep some type of uniformity to the site, but I decided against it. I wanted to keep my original posts as a reminder of how far I've come, not just with this site, but in my outlook on fashion, my style, and my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can proudly say, I'm a much more mature version of the girl who first posted the introduction to this site back in 2010. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I'm happy to have been able to keep this site with me. It's been a part of me for five years and I can't wait to see where it goes within the next five. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheers to the past, present, and future.</div>

The real scene stealer here is the classic Chanel bag. Yes, I was drooling all over it during the photoshoot. What girl doesn't dream of one day owning her very own LBC (Little Black Chanel!)? We decided to dress it down a bit with distressed denim and aviators to show that Chanel can make any casual outfit, classy.<br />

Four years of stress eating, hair pulling, naps, and procrastination has come down to what this month of May brings for millions of students across the country:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>
GRADUATION.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay, so there may have been some actual studying and work done in between that time. But we tend to focus on what we did with the time when we werent buried in books that cost more than a brand new iPhone to make us feel like we actually lived a little, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whether it's high school or college, being a graduate is something to be proud of. There are people in less develop countries that dream of getting the education we're privileged with in America. Sure, if you took loans out like I did, you'll already be in debt the second you step off that stage with the most expensive piece of paper in your hands, but trust me when I say that an education, no matter what the cost, is always going to be worth it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">There were plenty of times - mainly during midterms and finals season - when I wanted to throw all my books out the window and just go to sleep hoping to wake up on a beach somewhere far, far, away from school. But no matter how much I whined and complained, I knew that what I was doing with my time, whether it be studying or choosing to catch up on missed episodes of the Kardashian's, it would inevitably affect my future. There never seemed to be enough hours of the day. If there's anything I'll take away from hours in the library and the few I spent in bed, it's that time is sacred and precious - it's the worst thing to waste. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course, there were moments of pure fun and recklessness amidst the academic chaos - it was college after all. If you graduate from a University without having a few nights you don't remember or a handful of decisions you could have avoided, then did you really experience college? I know, I know. College isn't just about the parties and socializing, but I can definitely say that every aspect of college (and I do mean every single part) has helped shaped who I am and my mindset going into the "real world".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">College was a great experience - living on my own, meeting lifelong friends, falling in and out of love, building professional networks...it's crazy to think that it's coming to an end. I think the best lesson I learned in college is discovering who I am and who I want to be and knowing there's a huge difference.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I guess the point of this post is more of an ode to my college career and a reflection of the best four years of my life. Hopefully, if you're graduating, you'lł be able to say the same and that you too, have no regrets. I have a feeling in ten years we'll be able to look back on these years and just laugh at the things we did and appreciate how far we've come since then.<br>
<br>
Congratulations class of 2015 - we did it! I hope you find happiness in everything you do and wish you all nothing but love and success in your bright futures.<br>
<br>
Stay focused, stay motivated, and be different.<br>
<br>Good luck. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>

Currently obsessed with this shade of blue. And clearly from my previous post, I have a weakness for white. Putting both together creates an eye-catching soft color combination for spring! The dazzling accessories from Stella & Dot coordinate perfectly with the ensemble as well.<br />
<br />
Don't even get me started on this gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana purse - it perfected the outfit! I'm a sucker for delicate and simplistic looks like this.<br />

For this look, it was style with the intent of channeling the inner 'traveler'. This Gucci tote is perfect for when you're on the go because it can pretty much fit everything you'd need into one bag while still looking polish and chic. Paring a solid neutral colored dress with lavish accessories is also another way to garner a put-together look effortlessly.</div>

Also, can we admire this gorgeous and colorful background? It's hidden in one of the street corners in Santana Row at San Jose.<br />

Sorry for the sporadic posts! I'm trying to make it through my last semester of college. Hope you all have been doing well! </div>

Happy New Year! I know it's been awhile since I blogged, but I've been busy celebrating the holidays with my family, I'm sure you all understand. I'm excited for this new year and all the things to come. I will definitely try to blog more and keep up with this. Thanks for everyone who has been supporting me and this blog of mine :)<br />

This is EASILY my absolute favorite look from the photo shoot. It puts everything together - sophistication, class, glam, and edge.<br />
Black is my favorite color to style because of it's versatility - that shows in this particular outfit. Taking a simple long sleeved top and coated black pants, all we had to do was add some texture with the fur and beautiful accessories, and it transformed a simple outfit into a glamtastic one. Throw in some drool-worthy Louis Vuitton with a pair of staple Mary-Janes, and you've got this luxurious feel to what would have been a modest look.<br />
And who can forget the essential red lipstick?<br />

I spent Thanksgiving with my family in Texas this year rather than back at home in Cali. It was nice for a change. We had a reunion with my mom's side of the family, relatives I haven't seen in a long time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm thankful for everything in my life. Family, friends, education, a home. There's not that much we need in life, though we continue to want what we can't have. It's important to take a breath during our busy lives and be thankful for the small things that we are blessed with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with your loved ones.<br />

This past weekend marked my dad's 60th birthday. Despite his age, he's stronger and wiser than ever - I look up to him, much like any daughter would with their dad. Along with the rest of my siblings, we celebrated his birthday at a fine restaurant, <i>Fleming's</i>. The food was amazing - one of the best filet mignon's I've ever eaten. We were stuffed by the end of the night. The ambiance was perfect for the occasion. It was fun getting dressed up and heading out as a family. I'm super family-oriented, so having everyone stay over for the weekend definitely made me happy.</div>

How was your weekend?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At the beginning of the year, I did a photo shoot with my cousin (a photographer) and older sister (boutique owner), for promotion. It was quite the family collaboration - me as the model/stylist, my older sister providing the wardrobe, gorgeous Stella & Dot jewelry, and AH-MAZING designer handbags. It took all my strength not to steal one of her drool-worthy Chanel bags and run back home with it.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naturally, we chose the streets of San Francisco as our background. We chose a neighborhood of townhouses that seemed to be out of a magazine. I can only imagine how much those houses cost (probably more than my tuition, that's for sure). </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This is the first look we shot: simple leopard coat with casual jeans, heels, and over-the-top yet absolutely necessary accessories. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few of my friends thought I looked like a mob wife. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was flattered.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't deny it - I felt pretty fierce in this outfit. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then again, when don't I?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
More than a year, actually. I've been on hiatus for more than a year. </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know - how dare I abandon my precious blogsphere?!</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I apologize for my temporary Britney breakdown. I lost touch with my passion for a bit. I also went through a lot of hardships which put blogging at the bottom of my list. BUT, nothing can keep me away from you, Bloggerland.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started a more personal blog, similar to an online diary, where I mainly posted family and friend outings, with the occasional outfit posts. </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I realized just how much I truly missed doing fashion posts, not just of my outfits, but discussing current obsessions, trends, and styles. I missed coming home, excited to open up Blogger and discover what new posts I have to read. I missed being able to voice my opinions and share them with an amazing community who share the same passions.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a lot I need to catch up on and years of time I need to make up for. Ultimately, I decided to combine both of my fashion and personal blogs together to create my own fashion/personal online diary. </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't plan on continuing my blog for publicity or for money - simply for myself to keep my sanity.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course, for those of you who take the time to even read this simple blog out of complete boredom, pity, or both (thank you, either way). </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I'm back. How have things been?</div>

A few pictures from my family trip to Las Vegas, with a mini-trip to Arizona, during the last week of July. Although we didn't do anything 'Sin City' like and did more tourist things, I still had an amazing time. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather was unbearably hot and because of it's sensitivity, my face started to burn and peel. It physically hurt to use face cleanser because it would sting so bad. I couldn't wear makeup for the last few days of the trip because I didn't want to irritate my skin even more. But it was alright - we went to so many places that I didn't even notice.</div>
</div>

On our agenda we conquered the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, and Valley of Fire. So many breath-taking beautiful views that really made me appreciate nature even more than I already had. I also rode a horse for the first time (which was on my bucket list) and basically, I want my own. Walking down the strip itself was such an exhilarating feeling - the busy streets, city lights, and free-spirited atmosphere. It was a much needed relaxing and refreshing trip! </div>

It's been awhile, hasn't it? My blog's been looking pretty lonely lately. Since it's a new year, I think it's time to update everyone on what's been going on with my life and my future plans for the upcoming year.<br />
<br />
- I started college! I was so excited to move in and life the dorm life. Away from home, family, parents. I was in love with all the freedom it came with. My roommates turned out to be wonderful girls. One is exactly like me while the other has a super cute personality. We all get along really well which makes living away from home much more bearable. I've made quite a few friends at school. They're so amazing! I've gotten so close to all of them. It's been really fun getting to know new people and even living with them! School, however, is a different story. Naturally, the cirriculum is much more intense than it is in high school. I've had many stressful night filled with piles of homework, tests to study for, lessons to read, and not enough hours for sleep. But in the end, the hardwork is all going to be worth it.<br />
College had definitely made me grow up. I feel so much more mature than before. All the decisions I make now, I think of how it'll affect me in the future. The dreams and aspirations I had in high school are all in the past and now, I'm more focused on reality and striving to get a stable job that I love.<br />
<br />
- I'm so happy that winter break is here! This first semester of college has been stressful and I've missed home so much. Being away for so long has definitely made me appreciate my hometown and my loved ones here at home more. I've been out every single day since break started. I haven't seen many of my friends since summer and it's been great catching up with everyone and learning how their lives have changed as well.<br />
<br />
One of my new years resolutions was to get back into blogging. I've missed it! It was my favorite hobby and I loved connecting with all the fashion bloggers around the world. I might not be able to post as frequently as I used to but I'll try my best to at least keep up a weekly post.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year's to everyone!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738236588026522801.post-91116737573538600982010-11-09T20:28:00.000-08:002015-10-08T02:55:32.633-07:00The BeginningHello world.
