See It Through


A whole lot of monochromatic layers for a super cold day.


Sweater- Forever 21
Coat- Zara
Pants- Zara
Beanie- Zara

I like to have fun with my outfits and sometimes in the Winter, it's so easy to blend in with the crowd because this time of the year most people are wearing all black with a down jackets or one of those eskimo coats. Not that I find anything wrong with this but, personally for me I like to see how I can bend that trend and still be able to keep warm.

Here it looks like I'm wearing two layers up top but in reality I have a thousand layers underneath my sweater. The Heattech from Uniqlo has been doing wonders for me and I recommend it to anyone who's trying to feel as comfortable and warm as possible in the Winter. 
For a fun monochromatic look, I paired my plaid coat from Zara with this similar plaid sweater and a scarf for an extra added touch.

I like to wear pants during the Winter months, so I wore these thick ones from Zara that I have to try and stop myself from wearing everyday...can't get enough of it.

Plaid Heavens


Wear Winter white with a pop of red and navy blue blue for an airy Winter attire.


Sweater- UNIF
Dress- Forever 21
Coat- Similar

So after a super long break, I've finally come back to my usual full time blogging. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd see that I have been all over the place visiting family for the holidays and also in the midst of completing a personal collection for my portfolio. 
Its been hectic for sure but I definitely missed blogging. I back from the warmth of Jamaica and smacked in the middle of this crazy Winter in New York. This look is one of the first I wore thus far since being back and its a been of a clean almost all white look for the dramatics of blending in with that pure white of the snow.

I'm wearing my cozy UNIF  sweater from last season, layered on top of this beautiful lacey dress and tons of other unseen layers underneath that actually allowed me to weather this look without freezing completely to death. I added the touch of the plaid as an extra layer for warmth and also to give the look a bit of colour.

I can't wait to share a lot of Winter looks and I hope where ever in the world you are, keep warm!

Take Off From The Start


Casual moments in Williamsburg is the one things I look forward to on weekends.


Fuzzy Sweater- Similar
Pants- Nasty Gal
Biker Jacket- Similar

I finally decided to take this awesome biker jacket for a stroll about two weekends ago during the leisure time I spend vintage browsing and store gazing in Williamsburg. This whole year, comfort has become a major element in my wardrobe. So, I've been wearing pieces that can easy fit with each other that doesn't quite take too much time deciding in the mornings on what to wear.
For this look I wore my warm and fuzzy top that I'm completely obsessed with because it's literally the softest thing in my closet right now. Because it's pure white it exhumes such a clean and fresh vibe hence, I went along to pair it with something a little more on the edgy side which is the plaid pants. 
This ensemble is a bit more of what I usually like to wear when ever its not too freezing outside, as I am able to wear just a biker jacket and be good for the day. I kept it pretty simple for the accessories mainly because I wanted it to just be a more breathable and slightly simple look.

Disclosed Desires


Sometimes its the mismatched moments that I realize how much fun styling can be once you don't take it all it uptight and serious.


Top- Forever 21
Boots- Zara
Rings & Bracelet- from Jamaica

Serving a mismatch look today on le blog by combining two completely different pieces and somehow making it work perfectly for me. Let me first say that, this sweater top is literally the softest thing ever! Bought it at forever 21 and have had no regrets ever since. Clearly I'm in love with the black and white combination however, what draws my attention to this look is the very sporty aesthetic and the perforated details along the upper body gives it just that great touch. 
Though there were many way I could style this top, I chose to incorporate some color and wear it with my "pajama looking" plaid shorts for a more laid-back and casual attire. Overall I really enjoyed the way that this look came out as it wasn't too demure yet, had just the right qualities to still be well put together.

Swear My Promises To The Sky


Top- Necessary Clothing (Similar)
Shorts- Forever 21
Boots- Miista from Solestruck

Lace, lace and more lace! I think I've officially developed a lace obsession, there are so many lace pieces that are creeping up in my closet and slowly taking over....I cant help myself. 
This white lace top from Necessary Clothing is pure perfection and possibly the lightest and most delicate item I own right now. When I first received it, I wasn't quite sure what I'd pair it with but now I have so many idea for the summer on how I could style it for a warm weather. For this look, I wanted to incorporate a bit of colour since there's possibly been a lack of colour on my blog for a minute..soo I wore a plaid pajama looking shorts that's light and airy with lace detailing along the hem line. 
To be honest, I'm not usually the type to wear shorts like these and I use to think anyone who wears these are pretty lazy but here I am.. eating my words because I'm definitely going to be living in these shorts this Summer because they are literally the most comfortable clothing ever..shorts of my dreams! And if navy blue and red plaid wasn't enough for me, I then decided to finally debut my forest green boots with lucid heels from my favourite shoes company, Miista. For some reason, in the pictures the shoes came out looking a bit metallic which I absolutely love but the forest green in person looks really beautiful and great for both Summer and Fall. Oh, and in case you're wondering..these photos were taken on my new roof top 
Let me know what you think of this look in the comments below and I hope you have a great week!
