Tribal Inspired Crop Top- Forever 21

Oversized Distressed Jacket- Choies

Hat- Tilly's

Necklace- Tilly's

One of my favourite looks of the year so far. I think when I initially decided to this look, it was really meant to be a full bohemian inspired look then, with just the touch of a distressed jacket I was able to bring in some of a grunge roots. Crop tops will definitely be my main go-to for this Summer because they are so easy to style and just perfect for warm weathers. For a change, I wore this beautiful brown panama hat that I recieved from the online store Tilly's, about a few weeks ago. I was jumping up and down when I got them in the mail because I've been searching for the perfect dark brown hat for the longest time but failed to find any worth spending the price. Nothing is ever really simple when it comes to me and jewelry because I seem to always gravitate to statement pieces and then a ring is a must! on my finger hahaha. 

I'm be really busy in the coming up weeks with collaborations, moving to a new apartment and studying for finals so I do have a lot of looks in my archive that I've yet to post on the blog so I'm be sure to keep updated. Hope you're having a good week thus far!

Yesterday's Strength

Sweater- Zara

Pants- Zara

Shoes- Scully by Jeffrey Campbell 

Jacket- Forever 21

Hat- Sole Society

Jewelry- purchased in Jamaica

I use can't seem to get over my go-to colour palette, black and grey. I'm never usually the person to be caught dead wearing pants often...typically because I prefer wearing dresses and skirts. However, for this Winter, all I want to do is wear pants and call it a day because of how cold it is. I picked up these pair of riding pants from Zara about a day after cam back to New York and I can honestly say that it's one of my most practical and best buy of the new year thus far. It's such a great fit and goes well with pretty much anything I pair it with. For this look, I went with a more edgy look, by pairing simple pieces together to create an outfit great for wearing both day and night time. I added a statement necklace in the mix as an unexpected touch and to also give the overall look a little oomph against the light grey of the knit sweater. I always get the best jewelry back home in Jamaica, the necklace I'm wearing I got about a year or two ago when I was extremely obessessed with statement necklaces....I'm happy I finally decided to start wearing a lot of my necklaces again. Anyways, I'm off to a long day of work and classes...have a great day!

Burnout Velvet

Graphic Tee- Zara

Shorts- Thrift

Burnout Velvet Kimono- Vintage

There's something about burnout velvet that makes me feel warm and fussy inside but I can't seem to quite put my finger on what it specifically. So, if you've been following my blog, from past posts I've shared a lot of combination velvet looks mainly because I'm obsessed with anything velvet so naturally,  I went into this vintage boutique here in Manhattan and instantly fell in love with this lovely black burnout velvet kimono. I feel like a piece such as this is so rare to find and the quality is amazing. This look could have easily turned into an all white look with touches of grey however, I incorporated this kimono into the mix to add texture and slight volume... plus, it was a little chilly. This look is a pretty easy going/casual attire that's great for going pretty much going anywhere except a catholic church..ha. What better way to accessorize than to wear my vintage necklace that I've own for ages now and still manage to have it in good condition after all these years...sadly I have no idea where or how I got it, but it's definitely a great statement piece.
