Casual Style: Vest + Denim

     Happy new year! It's so surreal that we are already in 2022 but I am excited, and I hope you are too. The farther we get away from the year 2020, the better it is for everyone. We had a very beautiful weather in the month of December and there was a day that the weather was so beautiful, December 2nd actually and it seemed like it was summer! Can you believe it! 

I styled my sweater vest over dark denim pants for a casual look and completed the look with faux fur slides. It was a comfy look just to lounge at home and to think happy thoughts and good wishes. I hope the new year is going great for you so far. Thanks so much for reading! 😀

Happy New Year! 2022

 

       Happy new year my friends! I wish us all a beautiful and prosperous new year, 2022. We all deserve to have the best of everything this year. Although we were not able to have big parties and celebrate like we used to, I still give God thanks for good health and for great family and friends. This was one of my holiday looks; a simple sequin skirt that i have won every holiday season for the last couple of years. and this sequin striped sweater; all oldies from my closet. My platforms heels are a new addition though; a gift to myself from Asos. What do you think of the resurgence of platform shoes this season? Again, happy new year to you and yours. Thank you so much for reading.

Holiday Outfit Inspiration: Mustard color sweater + Sequin Pants

 

      

        A  holiday outfit can be styled without incorporating the traditional holiday colors. As we all know, red and green are traditional Christmas colors in addition to black and silver when it comes to styling sequins and other embellished and beaded outfits. In the recent years however, holiday outfits are now any color you want them to be and sequin pieces can be purchased in almost every color nowadays. I styled this gold sequin wide legged trousers from Lulus with a mustard color sweater to create a non traditional holiday look.

Brown Pantsuit + Square toe Sandals

                                                                           

        I love pantsuits a lot and I think I have them in every color by now. This light brown set is my latest addition and as usual, I decided to style a monochrome look. I wore this outfit to Church a few Sundays ago; the square toe Sandals and faux fur bags added some interest to the monochromatic look. I always say; "texture-mixing" is the key to styling a monochrome look because without the bag and woven sandals, this outfit would be totally boring. This Steve Madden Shearling bag that I previously blogged about here is my "go to" bag this Fall. So far, the weather has been great in my neck of the woods and I hope it is same wherever you are. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Animal Print Dress + Green Sandals

        Animal prints is usually a big trend in the Fall season but not so this season. Somehow, the styling of the prints moved from main clothing pieces like tops and bottoms to accessories like boots and bags and sometimes statement coats. This H&M animal print dress was love at first sight for me because the print is very subtle. I styled it with a pair of green sandals and white pouch bag. I think it is a great idea to have a subtle animal print dress like this in our closets. What do you think? Thanks so much for stopping by.

Summer Style: Lace dress + Straw Bag

 

        My obsession with lace dresses this past Summer was real however these dresses have just been laying low in the closet all these years and not new purchases. Since this past summer was really hot, it was a no brainer to live in these dresses. This piece right here was purchased about three Summers ago from Boohoo.. I styled it with an orange color scarf and a pair of crisscross mules and a straw bag which is always my favorite accessory in the Summer. There is just something about straw bags and accessories that make summer outfits pop. Scarfs have also become my favorite accessory too. Thanks so much for reading.

How to style: Animal Prints for Fall

 

        Animal print is a staple for Fall however wearing head to toe print is not trendy right now. The key to styling animal prints this fall is by choosing one statement piece either in an accessory or in a statement coat. The styles in these collages can inspire you on how to style animal prints this Fall. Happy viewing, happy styling.

Monochrome Look: Brown top + Satin skirt

        This is an old look from the archives, and it is a monochrome look as usual which has really been my favorite way of styling in recent times. The brown top is a panty suit which is very great for work wear; you tuck in and stay tucked in all day without any fuss. Again, the mix of textures is the best way to style a monochrome look so the outfit don't look like a uniform or boring. My floral pumps add extra interest to the whole look and the orange purse, a little punch of color. Thanks so much for reading.

Style / Trend Inspiration: Faux Fur Bag

        My latest trend inspiration for this winter is the faux fur bag or shearling bag which has been popping up in the stores in different styles and price points. Although faux fur bags have been around for a long time, this recent trend might have been spurred on by the Bottega Veneta shearling bag. I love this affordable mini bag by Steve Madden because it is so chic and stylish and did I say affordable? Yes, I said affordable...

How to style colors for Fall

       There is a sure way to add colors to a Fall outfit and that's by the use of colorful accessories. Sure, we all like to wear rich jewel tone colors like wine, browns, orange and greys in the fall and lots of animal print but just imagine pairing these colors with pops of pink and blue and a little bit of yellow? The result will be an outfit that lifts up the spirit like the one above. And the blue sandals can be swapped out for a pair of brown boots if you so choose. Happy viewing, happy styling.
