MY STYLE: Fusion of Blue

The mind is everything. What you think, you become- Buddha  If you stare at the pattern of this skirt long enough, you are sure to become dizzy. I love the how the varying shades of blue are fused together to create a wave type, tie-dye effect. To not take away from the beautiful blue 'waves', I paired this peplum skirt with a staple, the white button up blouse. Because I also didn't want to be too matchy matchy, instead of wearing white or blue shoes, I reached for my ankle strap neutrals and neutral over-sized hobo bag and off to work I went. Top- VS Poplin Blouse | Bottom- Dorothy Perkins (sold out) | Shoes- Anne Michelle via GoJane | Bag- Local Boutiq...

INSPIRED STYLE: Princess Barbie

If I were to receive a dollar for every time some one called me barbie, I would be a zillionaire! Over the weekend, I attended a beach wedding for two really cool, down to earth people. It was such a chilled, laid back type of wedding.....like a flip flop, short sleeve type of wedding, but knowing me, I had to attempt wearing heels on sand *crickets*. I was never a girlie girl growing up and I still don't consider myself to be one but I really have a soft spot for big, flared, poofy skirts/ dresses. They automatically transform any woman into a princess with magic wands, tiaras and sparkles. Although this wedding was not about me, I wanted to feel like a princess. A little magic can take you a long way- Roald Dahl The design...

MY STYLE: Bold and Bright

Accept who you are; and revel in it- Mitch Albom If you were to search through my closets....(yes I said closets with an 's' because there is more than one), you would not find a dress or skirt that is more than 2 inches above my knees. Why? Well, I've been teased all my life about how skinny/ petite I am and I have become overly conscious of my stature, including the fact that I have really skinny legs. While that is a compliment for many, in the Caribbean, being skinny is viewed as being ill or not liking to eat. As a matter of fact, I am quite the opposite. I am a healthy foodie. I LOVE my belly. I am genetically tiny and this goes as far back as my paternal great, great grandparents so there's definitely no hope for me gaining...

MY STYLE: Denim and Stripes

Happy Friday lovelies! It's finally the weekend. I stalk the weekend like an insecure woman stalking a man......*crickets*....ok, never mind. Today's outfit is another simple fashion cliche- good old stripes and denim. There's not much to say about pairing denim and stripes other than the fact that you can either dress this couple up or down.  Even though this pairing is an international fashion cliche, it was the first time that I wore denim and stripes. Always be the first version of yourself rather than being a second version of someone else- Jaseem Kapoor Top- H&M | Bottom- Here | Shoes- Here, Here, Here | Bag- Zara Here are how a few other fashionistas wore their denim and stripes 1-...

MY STYLE: Blue Aztec Jumpsuit......revealing Look 4

D-day is finally here! No I'm not getting married or anything (hmmph!). Today is the day that I reveal look 4 of my '4 ways to style a jumpsuit'. In my previous posts, I showed you how I styled the jumpsuit firstly in its original form, secondly, leaving the top half of the jumpsuit exposed and covering the bottom half with a maxi skirt, thirdly, by exposing the bottom half of the jumpsuit and pairing it with a peplum top and finally.....well, I'm still leaving the bottom half exposed as a pair of trousers but pairing it with a blazer. Usually there would be an overload of photos but by the time I got to this outfit, Photo Man was tired and grumpy. You know how men can be ;) Again, I chose to style this final look by throwing on...

MY STYLE: Blue Aztec Jumpsuit (Look 3)

Hey beauties: Ok, so we're getting closer to revealing the 4 looks that I created from one piece- my blue, aztec print jumpsuit. This jumpsuit has easily become my newest, favourite item of clothing. It is so versatile and easy to style. If you missed the two previous looks, you can see look 1 here and look 2 here. Today, I'm revealing look 3. Hope you like it! What do you think the final look will be? TA DA!!!! I wore my jumpsuit as pants and paired it with an off-white peplum top so that the focus would remain on the gorgeous aztec print. I could have very well worn a yellow or even orange top but to keep it simple, I stayed neutral.  I also switched out my chunky brown/neutral toned accessories for...
