KENDRA THORNTON CHALLENGE

Good evening everyone! This post is my entry for the Kendra Thornton Miami fashion challenge.  The Kendra Thornton Miami fashion challenge is about creating a number of looks,  for the famed and successful travel expert Kendra Thornton for a special Miami vacation with her husband. This vacation to Miami was planned entirely on the popular travel website Gogobot. I created 4 looks in total, each for a different occassions.

The first look is a day look that could work for a lunch and brunch date, the 2nd  a beach look, inspired by a woman at a drink shack on the beach sipping on cocktails. The third look is the ideal dinner look, and i wanted a very sophisticated but youthful look so I went for that short  Matthew Williamson dress in a very soft palette in keeping with the spring/summer season and for some of that fun and exuberant vibe Miami is oh so famous for.The fourth and final look is your uber casual pool side look for your fashion forward and trend conscious woman, partly inspired by Lily Van der Woodsen and topped up with the perfect accessory; a silk hair tie.

SPRING KINDA WONDERFUL : LEATHER DUNGAREES

Good evening everyone. I'm soo excited to be blogging tonight because this marks my first blog post since the unofficial end of a very important phase of my life and I am beyond excited to see what the next couple months hold in store for me. Hopefully this will mean more time to focus on my passions which include all things fashion and of course my blog.

 So unto the look of today, the weather was very warm and this presented the perfect opportunity to try on my short leather dungarees. I styled the dungarees with my Zara jacket turned vest (I converted it over summer out of boredom) and my bowler hat which i promised earlier,  you would be seeing more of. The Zara bib was perfect for sprucing up the look and textural balance, plus the colours complemented the gold detail in my flat sandals. All together this outfit was just the right amount of layers and length for today's warm weather. Have a wonderful night everyone.

DISTRESS BOYFRIEND JEANS


Good evening everyone! I hope you've all been having a wonderful weekend so far?! I'm taking a break from the drama of moving out of my appartment, to share this post I shot 2 weeks ago with you. I love these ripped pull&bear jeans and I happened to be in the mood for a little color when I shot this post. I guess it was just that spring feeling and this twill jacket and purple sandals provided the perfect jump of color the soft white and light blue palette needed to achieve the perfect synergy of spring colors. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.
