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.

Blogspiration

I've finally got around to sharing some "blogspiration" here, which I've always wanted to, but for some I kept delaying it. Let me first say that these pictures are NOT owned by me and they're just photographs of editorials, throwback 90s and some other pictures that I've documented on my laptop from tumblr. Before I started a personal style blog, I was pretty much tumblr obsessed and that's where I'd store all my reference photos for some inspiration (My Tumblr). All the photographs above are just images that capture a little bit of everything my personal style is about. I usually don't like to putting a stamp on what my style is, because I feel like its always changing as I get older. However, the grunge, the hippie, the cycledelic and the eclectic have all played a huge roll in what my style has become. Coming from Jamaica and moving here in New York has definitely transformed what my style is... to an extent. I remember walking around back home it five different color combinations with bright blue stockings like nobody's business and I think its safe to say that is was just the fun colourful aspect of what my style was to become as I grew older. For sure,  it's going to be interesting to see how much I will evolve years to come. I'm glad I got to share this with you and I'll be back to regular posting tomorrow. Thanks for visiting!

When I first saw this amazing graphite about a month ago in Brooklyn, I thought to myself this is definitely going to be my new favourite place to snap my blog pictures so this is me...one month later, shamelessly taking photos on the sideway behind this amazing piece of work. I had the opportunity of meeting the owner and she was the sweetest person ever! The look I went for, has a very modern grunge hippie kind of aura about it. I collided two styles and blended them up into my own with the help of layer and playing with different fabric weights and accessories. The skirt I'm wearing is probably something I've wore a billion times here on the blog but, I'm not tired of it just yet so I had to come up with a way of styling it a totally different way. I wanted to give the illusion of a loose fitting oversized dress so I paired it with a coloured print top and overlaid the top with one of my favourite black sheer top from a brand called TRAMP. I love how the gold buttons on the black top, pops off beautifully against the pink of the skirt so i went ahead and accessorized with gold jewelry an the perfect hippie/circle sunnies. As I mentioned before in some post ago, I love matching my creepers with sock, especially if its a coloured or textured socks because it give it a nice quirky touch and helps to tight in the overall look.
