Reckoning Stair


Just another Saturday, chilling on my Brooklyn rooftop.



Top- Forever 21
Shorts- Similar
Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane
Cat eye Necklace- Glow Worm Shop

I spent most of the past weekend relaxing with some much needed meditation. I feel like rooftops are always sort of the best getaway place to just look out at the world around you and think, and that just what I did on the day I snapped these photos.
This ensemble to pretty much a mash up of pastels which is always the perfect colors to wear for a warm Summer day…the top is one I never really thought I'd ever wear mainly because the print is a little more on the bohemian side than I'd usually wear. However, I surprisingly ended up loving it and came of with many ways styling it for the Summer. In this instance, pairing the top with a cute pure white lace shorts seemed fitting as it was unbearably hot and the white makes for a good complimentary touch against all the colors of the top. All summer long, I've been battling in-between wearing colors and wearing a usually all black attire…I really do try to push myself to explore new color combinations so that I won't regurgitate the same thing on my blog over and over again.

Whispering Tears


Dress- Forever 21
Platform Boots- UNIF
Lace Bralette- Express

My UNIF Hellbounds have resurrected! hahaha, I remember when I just had started out blogging and all I wore were 6 in platform boots like the shoes I'm wearing in this post...and not that I've outgrown these type of shoes but my personal style has evolved so much that I'm more set on a different approach towards my style. All Summer long I've been wearing lots of peasant dresses, both short and long why? well for one, they are extremely easy to wear and super comfortable for warm days. I'm wearing this very feminine one from Forever 21 that I've literally had in my closet for months before Summer so I was really excited that I got the chance to take it for a spin. What intrigued me about this particular dress was the really low cut back, which I'm really not use to wearing. I was a little terrified and sceptic about it in the beginning but I think I've grown to be so comfortable with my body that I'm frankly not afraid of showing that much skin but I know where to cross the line.
It's one of those carefree dresses that I wore with a white lace bralette underneath just to add a touch of a different texture (I've also been obsessed with lace). I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and don't party too hard! or maybe you should....live a little.

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.
