There are times as a fashionista when you’re working with a tight budget. After all, its no easy task to keep up a fashionable lifestyle. But sometimes it’s the lack of resources that force us to get in touch with our creative genius. Which is why for this outfit post we decided to layer different pieces from our wardrobe to create entirely new fashion garments to work with.

Layering goes a long way, in style and in function. And since it’s not quite the season to be layering up against the cold, we’re just gonna have fun with it. We decided to layer two contrasting tank tops to create this sexy red and black outfit. Honestly, we couldn’t decide between the red & the black so we thought why not wear them both? Its bold, its edgy and you can never go wrong with red and black. Then to complete the look we threw on some patent leather shorts. These pants are a little intimidating at first glance, but once we styled them with the right pieces, they add the perfect amount of much needed texture to the whole look. We love how, despite being made of patent leather, they look extremely sporty.

The Fashion Frequency team scored a front row view for the international debut of Diana Couture’s ‘GENESIS’ collection. The show took place on March 15th in the most beautiful venue at The MacArthur in Los Angeles. That evening Diana Putri sent down the runway the most creative and diverse collection we’ve seen in a long time.

We love watching Diana Putri’s collections go down the runway because of her larger than life imagination for fashion and her influences to her Indonesian roots. Diana’s haute couture collections aren’t just fashion, they have their own culture.

We’re always so excited to see the latest creation of the Diana Couture design house. But this seasons haute couture collection titled ‘Genesis’ was something extra special because it was so diverse and packed with so many different cultural influences. She incorporated every texture and fabric you can imagine. From laser cut silhouettes to miles of embroidery, small detail beading and feathers and even Javanese inspired crowns and accessories. Diana Putri really gave us everything we didn’t know we needed in our life with her ‘Genesis’ collection

This look is dedicated to Bob Marley’s colorful and easy going attitude. Fashion can be an intimidating game with all the trends but who says you can’t do designer casual. And let us not forget how we do winter in Los Angeles. The fashion lovers on the West Coast have California Casual in their DNA.

Winter on the West Coast varies and can be a roller coaster of a season; some days hot some days freezing and other days its everything in between. Which is why I try to pull together looks that are perfect for warmer days but can also keep me warm on chilly days. Faux fur, in all colors, is an essential California Casual staple. They’re the perfect throw on jacket and not to mention animal friendly too! Another California stable is either a classic white tee or a vintage show t-shirt. But since this is a fashion blog, we pared this look up with a vintage designer t-shirt. The perfect touch to match up with this Bob Marley inspired rasta color scheme.
