INSPIRED STYLE: Babydoll

Happy weekend darlings! It is absolutely no secret that I draw inspiration from everything-whether it is for my art, my style, my hair or simply just life. Today's look is an inspired one from Folake of Style Pantry. Many call it copying but I call it inspiration.

I'm usually pretty silly during my shoots. Here's an outtake

MY STYLE: Neon Knit

Happy Monday loves! I can't believe how quickly the time is zipping by. October is coming to an end and making way for November. As soon as you know, it'll be Christmas :)

As you know, I live in the Caribbean and (un)fortunately we do not experience a change in seasons, so there's rarely any reason to pile on the layers. If anything, you'd much rather walk around in bikinis all day. Autumn/Fall is my favourite season followed by Spring, so I don't mind when the temperatures drop a little, albeit just by 2 -5 degrees. The up side to our Fall temperatures is that we can get away with open toes and light knits.

MY STYLE: Tulle Princess

Every girl pretends she is a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that-                                                                                                Alex Flinn

I was so eager to do this post just because of this skirt. I have been on the hunt for an affordable, tulle maxi skirt since the very first time I saw one late last year on another style blogger and I FINALLY found one. I am absolutely head over heels in love with this skirt and believe me, this may be the first but definitely not the last time you will see it. It is so full and flowy and princess-like and, and, and......I LOVE it!

For the entire time during this shoot, I was twirling and twirling and twirling. I couldn't help myself. It's so hard not to twirl in such a whimsical piece. I was definitely fueling my inner-Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City)

MY STYLE: Distressed and Floral

How unlikely is the pairing of something edgy and distressed with something soft and feminine? That's a bit of an oxymoron isn't it? 

Distressed denim was a heavy hitter on the fashion scene last Summer and has continued it's journey into this Spring. Although there are many variations and styles of distressed denim on the market, I just couldn't find one that I really loved so I made my own. 

This floral blazer has a story of its own also. I was eyeing it for about a month or more. I even fitted it once but for some reason, I still hadn't convinced myself to buy it. I'm not quite sure what finally convinced me to purchase the blazer but I'm glad that I did because even though it's floral and currently on trend, because of the abundance of colours, I can wear it with different outfits. Versatility is a key principle in wardrobe styling.

MY STYLE: Simply White

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance- Coco Chanel

According to the world wide web, the first official day of Summer is either June 20th or 21st, but in the Cayman Islands where I live, it's Summer everyday. White is always on trend for the Spring/ Summer, because its a no brainer that it is the coolest shade to combat the scorching Summer temps. 

This outfit was by no means cool at all. Skinny jeans and a long sleeved wool top? Really Olivia?!.....but it's cute though right? Hey, us women aren't always about comfort or practicality, we're about style all the way.

The truth about this outfit is that 1- it was totally inspired by a very good friend Doopie (check her out on IG), 2- I really wanted to pair my new floral Marlenee heels and 3- I definitely wanted to sport my necklace which I am so in love with. Whilst both the necklace and heels would also pair beautifully with an all black ensemble, I thought it was more chic with all white. What are your thoughts?

MY STYLE: Metallic

In this post, I told you that I would recreate the look that I wore for the meet and greet session of the Style Bloggers of Colour  Conference 2013 that I attended in Miami this past October. While I did sorta, kinda recreate the look, I changed the top and shoes. Hope you like it.

Isn't the skirt just the cutest? It's another tailor-made piece by my seamstress.
