Fall To Pieces

Mixing prints has always been such a favourite thing of mine to do…there's just something about trying to combine two completely different prints/pattern and creating an interesting outfit. 

I kept my hair simple and messy, like I usually do as the "bed head" look always seems like the easiest go-to styling.

Crosswalk Top- Nasty Gal

Skirt- Forever 21

Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell

At the very beginning of the Summer, I remember styling this aztec inspired mini skirt in a post back when I lived in the city (SEE HERE). The styling was pretty different back then, as there was a much more polished feminine quality about how I had chose to pair things. However, this time around I wanted to the styling to be a little less feminine and slightly possessive so I paired the skirt with more darker elements and less accessories. 

The top I'm wearing is one I got from Nasty Gal and didn't quite think I'd actually like it or even wear it  but it seemed fitting for this look as the surprising element at the back adds for a bit of un expectance with these ginormous buckles crisscrossing each other. The look itself is great for Summer and with the addition of the black kimono it could also serve as a great transitional look from Summer to Fall, with little tweaks here and there. Summer is almost over and I'm really sad that I'll have to go back to long hours working in the studio plus no more super sunny weather… oh well that's just the game of life.

Forgive and Forget

Top- American Apparel

Vest- Forever 21

Skirt- Forever 21

Shoes- Creepers

Me in such a short mini skirt is always the funniest thing ever, mainly because I unfortunately always choose the most windy days to wear them and lets just say there's a lot of holding and trying to securing that I don't flash someone on the street haha.

For this look, I kept it pretty casual in a basic tank top in a colour I've never actually worn before. It's like a mix between green and blue but I can't quite figure out what colour it is exactly. This look is pretty much prefect for warm days and is very easy to wear both dressed up and dressed down. For me, I paired it with a tribal inspired skirt that I randomly picked up while browsing through forever 21 and to be honest, it's not typically the kind of item I'd wear but I thought it would be interesting to see how many ways I could wear it plus it was at a good price. Of course, my creepers had to be apart of this look because nothing is complete without creepers lol. Well I'm off to the run to start my day, so much to do with so little time.

Mirror Maru

Painted floral top- Vintage

Sheer blouse- Thrift

Skirt- Zara

Bag/Sachel- Nasty Gal

Cat-eye Sunglasses- Zero UV

Keeping it cool in basic pieces to put together a good "almost all black" Spring look. The day I wore this outfit was probably a worse day for me to wear a mini skirt because it was so windy and as much as I was able to keep my composure during shooting, my skirt was flying everywhere! hahaha. Anyways, I sacrificed it all for this look where I wore mainly black pieces and paired them with some pops of colour here and there to stray slightly away from a early fall look to a more spring inspired look for those like me who still like to wear dark colours for every season. I think my favourite this of this entire look would really have to be this beautiful faux snake skin bag that I've been wearing non stop ever since I bought it from Nasty Gal about two months ago. Sadly it's now sold out but you can still check out the other great bags they have on their site. 

I think I mentioned before that my style is highly influenced by the music I listen to in the mornings when getting dressed and for this post I dedicated it to one my favourite EP of all time by Cashmere Cat. I'm so in love with the all the tracks and could literally listen them forever! Check it out below and let me know what you think and you could also recommend me any songs that you like. Thanks for visiting, have a great day.

Island In The Sun

Top- Forever 21

Skirt- H&M

Shoes- UNIF Lost Sole Boots (here)

Hazel Eye Necklace- Glow Worm Shop

I'm loving every moment of this vacation back home in Jamaica...I know I'll definitely be sad when I have to go back to the extremely cold weather conditions back in New York. On this particular day it was literally super windy and sunny at the same time...typical me, wore a skirt that few up with the wind at every chance possible so that explains why for the first time I cracked a huge smile because I had such a hard time keeping my skirt from flying up for this shoot. I've literally been living in mini skirts and dresses while being here because everyday here is like a melting pot so staple pieces such as skirts, tees, dresses and shorts are a must have when it comes to dressing here in Jamaica. I wore a tie dyed loose top tucked into this skirt for a perfect day of lounging around a beach club that had such an amazing view of the horizon. 

I know this might seem a bit weird, but I wore my UNIF lost sole boots with white white socks...because for some reason I couldn't resist wearing it with this outfit. I haven't been wearing too many layers since being here because in all honesty if I could wear a swimsuit everyday...I would. Anyways, I'm off to shop for some local jewelry and then meet up with some friends afterwards.
