MY STYLE- Pink Flare

Ever so often, I let the empress in me come to light. In no way do I follow or practice Rastafarism but I do love to wrap my locs and dress empress-like at times.  I love a flowy maxi skirt and although the summer is meant to be officially over, it never really ends in the Caribbean so the light, airy flow of maxi skirts keep me cool. Have a great weekend! ...

MY STYLE: Tribal Ikat

On my last day in Chicago, my sister and I decided to stroll through the city and window shop. Of course, window shopping is usually unsuccessful when done with another fashionista and that, my sister definitely is. After growing weary of seeing almost the same thing in every store, my eyes caught the colors and print of these pants. Needless to say, they joined the other items that I purchased while 'window' shopping in Chicago.  Top- Here | Bottom- Charlotte Russe | Shoes- Anne Michelle via GoJane | Necklace (old) | Sunnies- Dior Chicago...

WINNER! WINNER!- 2013 Style Bloggers of Color Conference

WOOT! WOOT!! Today I come to you with exciting news. I am over the moon with excitement. Funnily enough, excitement is one of the emotions that I feel the least (not sure why).....but anyway, last night, I received a tweet saying that I won a ticket to the 2013 Style Bloggers of Color Conference in Miami next month (October). As you know (or may not know), I live in the Caribbean but thankfully, Florida (specifically Miami) is just an hour's flight away :) I just happened to stumble across the competition on Instagram posted by BlogColorfully where you basically Instagram yourself in the 'requested color' and state in the caption why you want to attend the Style Bloggers of Color Conference. I entered for the 'Purple' and 'Blue'...

INSPIRED STYLE: Between the Lines

A few weeks ago, I popped into one of my local boutiques for a wee bit of visual retail therapy but nothing in there was therapeutic. The ladies in the boutique have gotten used to my presence so one of them was kind enough to take me in the store room to give me a little preview of what the store would put out next. Well I did a little hop when I saw this skirt. Although it was not priced, I asked her to keep the skirt is size small and call me when it was priced. After a few days of (im)patiently waiting for the phone call, I went to the store on the hunt for my skirt which still was not priced. Hmmph! At this point, I decided that I was not leaving the store until the skirt was priced, checked out and in my possession. A few...

MY STYLE: Red Skinnies

Is there any single item of clothing that a denim shirt does not compliment? I have literally become obsessed with chambray/ denim shirts overnight. I own three blue denim shirts in two different fits but will definitely acquire another two or so. Although I usually go for the darker washes, today, I was excited to wear a lighter wash for the first time and I quite like it. Everything you can imagine is real- Pablo Picasso Top- H&M | Bottom- Old |Heels- Anne Michelle via GoJane | Accessories- Local Boutiq...
