MY STYLE: Obsessed! (Off the Shoulder)


Tweet loves! Happy Tuesday. Yup, I'm in another off-the-shoulder top again. I think I've just about said everything there is to say about my (now) obsession for the off-the-shoulder trend. I have been living in off-the-shoulder tops. Literally! 

This one is another custom made top by my seamstress and of course, there will be more.

MY STYLE: Off the Shoulder


Happy almost the long weekend loves! It's almost time for the long Easter weekend and whatever your plans, I hope that throughout the weekend, you remember the true meaning of Easter.



This is my third post in a row trending in an off-the-shoulder top. If you've been following me for a while, firstly, thank you for doing so and secondly, you know I'm not big on following trends but I do love the current off-the-shoulder trend. In as little as a week, I've somehow acquired 6 of these tops, in different styles of course. In my last two posts, I shared the denim top and black top, both which were made by my awesome seamstress.

By the way, do you see how much more comfortable and confident I've become about wearing shorts? Look at that!

MY STYLE:: Denim Off-The-Shoulder


Hey loves! Happy Tuesday!!

So here I am again with another custom-made off-the-shoulder top and there will be more to come. Of course, if I have the option to have something made verses ordering online, shipping, waiting etc., then I always choose to get it made, if I can. Off the shoulder tops are trending heavily at the moment and they are the perfect wardrobe pieces for the Spring. Paired with shorts, there are even better for sunny, beach days or lunch by the sea.

I decided to use the back side (wrong side) of this denim fabric to make the top instead of the right side because the right side was a very sharp blue. Perhaps I'll use the right side for something else.







At the end of the shoot I just couldn't deal with those heels anymore so I switch out into something a lot more comfy--my trusty white Converse

MY STYLE: Casual Monday


Tweet Loves! Just dropping in with a quick style post in a casual Monday outfit. Off-the-shoulder ruffle tops seem to be trending heavily now--I guess in preparation for the nearing Spring. Of course this style of top is not a new one but one that has popped up on the scene again. History surely does repeat itself.

Although I'm an ad-hoc, non-strategic shopper, I hesitated to jump on the bandwagon to purchase any of these tops simply because they're so basic and easy to make. The unfortunate part is that although they are easy to make and I own a sewing machine, I still pester my seamstress who always willingly make pieces for me.

MY STYLE: Shades of Gray



Happy Friyay!!!! It's the weekend and I love weekends, but then again, so does everyone else. Just sharing a quick Fall look with my new pieces from GoJane and H&M. Ponchos are always Fall appropriate and I don't even know how it happened but I quickly amassed quite a few over the last couple of weeks. Apart from this poncho being a big ball of fuzzy comfort, it's also reversible. My first poncho was debuted in this post, just in case you missed it ;)

MY STYLE: Fringe Booties


In my previous post, I spoke about the freedom and creativity that fashion provides, where there are little to no rules and even if there are rules, those rules can be broken. In that post, I paired super casual, frayed denim shorts with a sleeveless, long-line blazer, which you can see has showed up again in this post, only this time, a little more on the casual but dressy side. This blazer will no doubt be on repeat with variations of dresses and bottoms.


Let's talk a little about these shoes which first made their appearance on my Instagram. When I first saw these fringed booties, I had a serious mental debate about whether or not I wanted them, how they would look and if I were willing to pay the shipping and duty cost for these babies. After seeing how numerous style bloggers styled them, I could not resist purchasing so I bit the bullet and bought them--thankfully, I did not regret the purchase.

I guess the designer pre-empted that fringe would be the next big trend because almost after 6-7 months of the purchase, everything fringe exploded everywhere.

MY STYLE: Denim on Denim

In my humble opinion, denim on denim is always 'trending' simply because it is an easy, go-to wardrobe combo that can be worn year round. Just like black and white, denim on denim is one of those classic combinations that will never go out of style. Denim on denim is versatile and can be transformed in the blink of an eye, not to mention pairing it with anything leopard.
In previous posts, I've paired darker washes of denim but this is the first post of pairing a light wash.

Summer Styling Essentials





When Raise.com reached out to me about their interactive campaign called 'Closet Swap', a campaign on how I'd be transitioning my wardrobe into Summer attire, I wasn't quite sure how I'd differentiate the post from any of my previous posts considering that I reside in Summer central, but I quickly thought I'd create a collage showcasing a few pieces that I would more than likely be wearing this season. 

Raise is the first peer-to-peer secondary gift card marketplace where you can sell gift cards for cash or buy discount gift cards to all of your favorite brands. Raise is a platform to increase your purchasing power. Every time you save money, you're raising your earnings and giving yourself a raise [Raise.com]. 

Spring and Summer are the two seasons that most people look forward to. Fortunately and sometimes unfortunately for me, I reside in a country where there are permanent summers. Summers in the Caribbean are torturous and while most people would not complain about the heat, sometimes, it is just unbearable. 

In the Summer, I am always about comfort and styling pieces that are free-flowing, cool, airy, bright and colorful. While florals, co-ords and lace are on trend right now, I am not always about trends but about personal preference.

My styling essentials for this Summer will no doubt include shorts, now that I'm becoming a little more comfortable wearing them, sandals or flip flops, free-flowing, bright and colorful day dresses that can also be worn in the night, and most definitely bikinis which I started scouting since March.

What are your styling picks and essentials for this season? Are you about trends or comfort and coolness like me?

Trending: Moto(rcycle) Jackets....

The Moto Jacket (also known as the Motorcycle Jacket) is a chic way to add a bit of edge or toughness to any delicate, feminine look, whether paired with flowy skirts or even dresses. These pieces are easy to transition from Fall to Winter (if layered properly) and aren't just protective gear for bikers anymore. Now that the winter season is in full effect, moto jackets are appearing everywhere.

What are your thoughts on the moto trend?

Trending: Pastel Power

If you love colour, then you should be loving the pastel colour coat trend. This year has seen a monumental shift from the usual black, gray or brown Fall/ Winter coats, to much softer hues such as rose/ baby pink, powdery blue, mint green, lavender and blush. This trend seems to have bypassed Winter and jumped straight into Spring. Pastels have not only crept their way in to Fall/Winter, but somehow these uber-feminine hues have completely replaced the standard black, gray and brown shades of the season.

These hues will easily brighten up any dull Winter day, and are a wardrobe must-have this season.

Currently Obsessing....Hot Heels!




Hi, my name is Olivia and I'm a shoe-aholic with no intention of checking into rehab. 

One of my favourite online shopping sites, GoJane.com, is having a 50% sitewide sale today only. If you love trendy styles at more than affordable prices, then GoJane is the site for you. Not only are their prices reasonable, but the quality of their service and products are equally as attractive. I know this sounds like a paid post but it's not. I just love them that much.

I am currently obsessing over these heels and I cannot wait to receive them. With all the Christmas mail, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my shipment is NOT delayed.

Seriously though, aren't these babies absolutely gorgeous?? Which of them is your fave?
