We'll Sleep Until The Sun Goes Down


Introducing a vey different colour combination that I've never really tried before. It took me awhile to get out of my usual all black combination and don't get me wrong, I still love a good all black attire. However, for the summer I'm trying to experiment with different colours (nothing too crazy) but just enough to bring somethign new to the table.


I'm obsessed with turquoise jewelry and this one that I'm wearing was bought back when I lived in Jamaica...I definitely cannot wait to go back and find some new unique handmade pieces. The belt I'm wearing is actually a vintage belt with turquoise stones embedded into golden melt...very cool concept, thank to my mother (I love raiding her closet).

Skirt- Similar
Boots- Zara
Fringe Kimono- Similar or here
Necklace- bought in Jamaica
Belt- Vintage
Hat- Similar

I still feel a little weirded out wearing a bralette top...I have no clue why, maybe because I'm not quite use to showing so much skin so that's why the kimono came in great handy to make me feel a little more comfortable. I've had this top in my closet for the longest time and was so hesitant to actually wearing outside but a fostered up the courage and paired it with the cutest floral mini skirt. What makes the Summer season so fun is the fact that you can be creative with colour combinations and step a little out of your comfort zone..for me, it was super hot on this day and my option was to either wear the outfit in this post or a very loose fitting lightweight dress (something I've been wearing almost everyday). I love that the look has such a bohemian quality and isn't too serious but a fun daytime look.

Black Stains



Top- Vintage
Shoes- Edge Of Urge x Jeffrey Campbell 
Green Cat-Eye Necklace- Glow Worm Shop

Yesterday, I wore this outfit out of being lazy and not really wanting to go to school so I wore what I knew would work best when all else failed..."black". I really love how wearing all black can make a look instantly more edgy and refined... and though I may be a lover of all things colored, I can't lie that when it comes to black there's almost no going wrong. I think its evident by now that I'm a crazy fringe obsessed woman and I really can't get enough of fringe. I wore this vintage black knit top with a fringed hem line, which is one of the easiest things for me to wear on a day when I'm possibly in a rush or flat out feeling exhausted. I wore this top with slender black pants with the cutest little zipper details on each side of the upper thighs and adding accessories that would compliment the overall look well. So, I though it would be nice to wear my Jeffrey Campbell and my newest edition to my jewelry collection is this beautiful Glow Worm Shop cat-eye necklace! I got two of them in the mail a few days ago and I'm so in love with everything about it so you'll definitely be seeing be wearing it a lot. Anyways, I'm off to a busy day!

Symmetrical Empathy


Baroque Inspired PrintedTee- Chicwish
Tartan Skirt- Everland Clothing (Dolls Kill)
Bead Fringe Cardigan- Vintage
Shoes- T.U.K Creepers

I love when I can wear a printed tee and it suddenly breathes life into an entire look. For this outfit, I went along with my usual print mixing by combining plaid with this baroque inspired print from one of my favourite tees. I was a little skeptical at first about working the purple plaid into this look but I took the risk and I'm really happy with the way it all turned out because the yellow stripe from the plaid suddenly played a major role in tying both separate together. I think it's evident that my fringe obsession will never die...I own so many fringe items and I'm convinces that my life is so much better with fringe... hahaha. I decided to with this very "beachy/bohemian like" braid fringe cardigan because not only is it the coolest thing ever but I love how the gold beads are incorporated into the white braided detail. That to me, makes it so much more special. I later decided on wearing my creepers after contemplating my black Deandri platforms....but, I'm happy I wore the creepers because it helped in toning this look down a little.

Bohemian Rhapsody


BlueVelvet Crop Top- American Apparel
Fringe Kimono- Necessary Clothing

I'm pretty much the type of person who is overly obsessed with anything fringe, especially on kimono...it's literally my weakness and sometimes I have to try hard to talk myself out of going crazy and buying everything fringe. This kimono that I'm wearing has to be my best one to date! I really love that it has aztec-like print all over it, with black fringe trim detailing along the hem line. I decided to pair this lovely kimono with a bright blue velvet top that is one of my recent purchases at American Apparel. I've recently been head over heels for velvet tops and skirts, especially when its a very simple top/skirt. I added the blue as a pop of color and with the velvet texture it makes the look a whole lot more interesting, giving depth to the ensemble. For my accessories, I wanted to add  hints of gold accents since this whole look could have quickly turning into an "all black" combination. For those of you who have been asking... I didn't cut my locks, it's just all pinned up in the back with the front looking a bit longer. I think it's important for me to kind of change up the styles I do with my hair because sometimes I get really tired of it. Anyways, I'm off to a busy day of work and school so I hope you enjoy this look and feel free to leave a comment down below.

Sweet Escape


Black and White Cross Mini Dress- Forever 21
Floral Mesh Top- Vintage
Fringe Kimono- H&M

I've been wanting to share this floral mesh top for the longest time and I've been wearing it with different outfits a lot but this is one of my favourite outfits I like it the most with. It's literally beautiful whenever its layered with a top underneath and its also very perfect for the summer time because its lightweight and  has all these holes in it that forms a really cool floral pattern. I know I've probably shared this Forever 21 cross dress like a million times here on the blog but I simply just really love it and I'm not quite over it just yet, cause I can think of sooo many other ways of styling it. I love the very dark ethereal aspect that this outfit gives and its also like I'm some type of lost witch.
