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!

Chelsea Piers


Faux Leather Vest- H&M
Top- Made by me
Maxi Skirt- Similar or Here


Yesterday was a very gloomy/ misty day in New York and I decided to take a walk to  Chelsea Piers to dream....think....clear my head. I love taking little walks around the city especially to peaceful places like the park or pier. The pier was a little more quiet  than usual when I visited yesterday, because it was raining and almost everyone stayed indoors. Though it was raining, it actually wasn't that cold, so I was able to wear a shear flowy maxi skirt and a cowl neck top with lots of volume that was made by me.
For some reason, I usually never wear any of the things I make, but this top seemed so fitting for the whole look plus, it was pretty cozy so why not!?. I threw on  my favourite oversized faux leather vest for a little more layering and you can see another way how I styled it (here). I really love the play between the soft element of the maxi skirt against the grunge/bourgeois feel of the vest...it's an interesting play on volume and textures which is something I always love experimenting with. Hope you all have a great weekend and I can't wait to share a lot more upcoming posts with you this week

Chaos That Control My Mind


Oversized Faux Leather Vest- H&M
Top- H&M
Skirt-Romwe
Stockings- Forever 21

Towards the beginning of the summer I shared this lovely all over print flared skirt from Romwe (here)  and there was absolutely no way that I wouldn't incorporate it into my fall ensembles because ,it's the most gorgeous skirt ever! I layered a whole lot for this look and it's a little out of my usually looks, because with this faux leather vest I quickly transformed into my alter ego haha. I scored this vest at H&M on sale and had been eying it for several weeks before I finally dug up the courage to actually purchase it.  It's such a great statement piece and  can look gorgeous on just about everyone! I decided to layer it over this sheered long sleeved top with intricate embroidery placed all over it....I can think of so many ways to style this top, like with a low waisted dark loose fitting pants and heels or tucked into  a high waisted light washed denim shorts for a more casual look. I just adore this top and plan to style it so many ways for this fall season. Another thing that I've found myself collecting and wearing a lot are hats...I never thought I'd be a hat person but I honestly can get use to wearing hats everyday since most time I get so lazy to actually do something to my hair.
