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).

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.

Forgive and Forget


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.

Conspire To Ignite


Velvet Blue Top- Forever 21
Green Oversized Jumper- Necessary Clothing
Tube Dress (wore as a skirt)- BCBG
Hat- Bebe
Kitti Shades- Zero UV
Hazel Eye Necklace- Glow Worm Shop

One of the things I love the most about Fall, is there you can basically take a lot of the things you wore during the summer and just layer it up with the possibility of transforming a whole different look. It's really about approaching your wardrobe in an entirely different way by finding a unique way of mixing and matching separates that would otherwise be 'stand alone pieces' if it were in the summer. Ever since got this blue velvet top, I've really have been making the most of it and constantly incorporating in different outfit ideas. I decided to share one of my favourite looks from out of the many ways I've styled it. This is a very relaxed bohemian meets grunge vibe, that makes the perfect outfit for lunch with friends, shopping or if you decided to go for a little walk around the city. I layered it with this cozy olive jumper  and later realized how great the olive green and the royal blue of the velvet top complimented each other once they were layered. Of course, I had to throw in my big wool hat because it simply completes the overall aura of this outfit and the perfect sunglasses can never really go wrong. Thanks for visiting and hope you like this styling as much as I do.
