See It Through


A whole lot of monochromatic layers for a super cold day.


Sweater- Forever 21
Coat- Zara
Pants- Zara
Beanie- Zara

I like to have fun with my outfits and sometimes in the Winter, it's so easy to blend in with the crowd because this time of the year most people are wearing all black with a down jackets or one of those eskimo coats. Not that I find anything wrong with this but, personally for me I like to see how I can bend that trend and still be able to keep warm.

Here it looks like I'm wearing two layers up top but in reality I have a thousand layers underneath my sweater. The Heattech from Uniqlo has been doing wonders for me and I recommend it to anyone who's trying to feel as comfortable and warm as possible in the Winter. 
For a fun monochromatic look, I paired my plaid coat from Zara with this similar plaid sweater and a scarf for an extra added touch.

I like to wear pants during the Winter months, so I wore these thick ones from Zara that I have to try and stop myself from wearing everyday...can't get enough of it.

Nevermind


My usual all grey palette which is always a major go-to for me.


Sweater- Forever 21
Beanie- Zara

This post was from a few months back in the Fall, when it wasn't as cold as it is now....I was complaining about the weather then but I definitely wish I could go back to that time because its even colder now.
 Anyways, I just wanted to share this look with you when my friend and I was playing around with the camera and then decided that this would make a great blog post. I know I've posted a tremendous amount of all grey outfits in the past but its too good for me to pass up...especially when I want to find something quick and easy to wear.
I consider this look to be a pretty simple, laidback attire mainly because it's what I'd wear on a quick run around the city for errands or so. I'm wearing this warm chunky knit sweater paired with a tailored and almost "work" inspired pants. I threw on my oversized neoprene jacket and some comfy boots but I could definitely see myself styling this look with some cute heels and a leather biker jacket. 
Let me know what you think!

Plaid Heavens


Wear Winter white with a pop of red and navy blue blue for an airy Winter attire.


Sweater- UNIF
Dress- Forever 21
Coat- Similar

So after a super long break, I've finally come back to my usual full time blogging. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd see that I have been all over the place visiting family for the holidays and also in the midst of completing a personal collection for my portfolio. 
Its been hectic for sure but I definitely missed blogging. I back from the warmth of Jamaica and smacked in the middle of this crazy Winter in New York. This look is one of the first I wore thus far since being back and its a been of a clean almost all white look for the dramatics of blending in with that pure white of the snow.

I'm wearing my cozy UNIF  sweater from last season, layered on top of this beautiful lacey dress and tons of other unseen layers underneath that actually allowed me to weather this look without freezing completely to death. I added the touch of the plaid as an extra layer for warmth and also to give the look a bit of colour.

I can't wait to share a lot of Winter looks and I hope where ever in the world you are, keep warm!

Sunny Winter


Just another day in Brooklyn.


Sweater- Forever 21
Skirt- Zara

Can I first express how obsessed I am with this tribal inspired sweater! I bought it during the Black Friday sales at Forever 21 and can't stop wearing it. Surprisingly, I found it in the mens section  (I shop both male and female clothes sometimes) and just bought the smallest size that could fit me perfectly...even though its still a little big.

The quality is pretty great and its super thick and cozy even though in this post I layered it with a blouse underneath because New York's weather switches easily from being warm to cold and cold to warm. As you can see, it was a beautiful sunny day and which allowed me to wear my neoprene skirt and stockings . However, for safety of the wind and an additional layer...I wore an oversized coat which is an item I've been wearing a whole lot if you've seen from my Instagram photos. 

I have a lot more looks coming up on the blog and I'm hoping I can do a video diary real soon. Have an awesome day!
