Nature Stud




Hello beautiful people. Happy Tuesday!


Plates and Zippers are always fun to have on your clothes, as are mixed metals. As you can see, I went a little metallic crazy today. This duo-style knitted sweater is not only very cool to look at, it's also extremely warm. Not sure if the fully functional zips were added for ventilation purposes or simply for decorative reasons, but either way they are much appreciated. The zippers on the knit add some detail and interest. 


I paired the white knit with this impressive stud and zipper jeweled skirt.


May you recognize the passion and the possibility in your day today and have the courage to follow it

Modern Baroque


Hi there and welcome back. If you couldn't tell, leather and lace had a huge impact on my pieces of choice for this one. The top I'm wearing is actually a repurposed flirty skirt purchased from my all-time favorite site Asos. I LOVE Asos because they have such a great mix of high end big-ticketed items in addition to the more affordable yet still quality pieces (not to mention for me it's like a one stop shop when it comes to online shopping).



Now that summer has officially left and the chime of fall fills the air, I can't help but to literally feel the need to slip on a little faux leather to keep warm. For added oomph I decided to drape this rather lavish white coat over my shoulders, fancy. 



I can only hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday...the weekend is almost here!

Checks to Balance






Top: Asos
Skirt: Topshop
Check Shirt: Urban Outfitters
Chuck Taylors
Sunnies: Quay

I'm not really one for excuses for my absence or long explanations that are really just cover ups for my laziness, so I'm just going to get on with the post and not waste anymore time :) 

Hi guys and welcome back! In this pre-fall heat, I want to dress comfortably and casually for a day full of classes and running around. Starting off, the plan was to make this neon skirt the focal point of the outfit, however, it is a tad bit short, so I needed to throw this checkered shirt around my waste to balance the look and essentially cover myself. Walking around flashing innocent by-passers is not my idea of a good time. Finally, to keep things really casual and easy, I reached for a grey t-shirt, threw on my Chuck Taylors and I was out the door to take on a new adventure. 

Today is a new day...Enjoy it!
Bye for now,
