Permanently Blue For You

The perfect maxi skirt always does the trick for cool Summer days. 

Top- Forever 21

Skirt- Forever 21

Ring- Thrift

Funny enough, I can't recall the last time I wore something red (possibly the only top I have in red) and somehow the day when I wore this look I felt like mixing my grudgy ways with a bohemian type of vibe and since I didn't want to wear black, I thought that red would probably be the best option. 

I bought the top on such an impulse buy one day in Manhattan and it was one of those items that I didn't think that I'd end up wearing. I paired it with this beautiful maxi skirt in this off-white tone that I've been loving a lot this Summer. I love how this look is slightly dark and can be a little on the creepy side but it has just enough airiness and lightness to make more more of a blend between bohemian and grudge. I don't wear a lot of maxi skirts however, I certainly enjoy the occasional stroll in them around the city.

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).

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.

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.

Encaptured

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!

Breathe

Top- Zara

Kimono- Nasty Gal

Cowboy Fringe Vest- Vintage

Shoes- Creepers

Sunglasses- Zero UV

Wore this look when it was really nice and sunny out and what better way to celebrate that than to wear a nice flowy kimono. Black and white combinations are always very classic and adding a bit of print is always a great surprize element and can elevate a simplistic look is no time. For this look, I combined a white texture cropped top from Zara with a high waisted fitted pants for a more modern retro inspired look. By adding the a bohemian inspired kimono and a slight pop of colour in my cowboy vest, I was able to transform the look to give more depth and appeal. Its been awhile since I've shot a look with me wearing my sunglasses but now that its getting a bit more sunny, I'm happy to share more looks incorporating sunglasses. I hope your week is going good so far and thanks for visiting!

Icebreaker

Dress- Motel Rocks

Kimono- Vintage

Dolman Coat- H&M

Biker Jacket- Nasty Gal

Wearing loads of layers today on the blog. It isn't getting any warmer here in NY so I have to constantly come up with new creative ways to styling from my wardrobe and still be able to feel warm and comfortable.... this look is an example of that. I believe I featured this beautiful dress from Motel about a few months ago but back then, it was pretty warm and sunny so I thought I'd rework the styling and incorporate it in a more Winter inspired look. I don't think I can quite remember how many layers I was wearing, I just know that I had around two thermal blouse and a high collared blouse underneath the dress. Along with those, I wore my favourite boho fringe kimono that doesn't quite play a role in me being warm but just added an extra touch of a bohemian/rocker vibe.  Of course a biker jacket would have been in the mix of it all and this perfect one from Nasty Gal did just the trick. I didn't really go too hardcore on accessorizing mainly because there was already so many element in the look already.

I had a very relaxing weekend just sketching and getting some work done, I hope you all had a great weekend as well. Thanks for visiting my blog, I have lots of looks coming up this week so stay tuned for those.
