GREY

       The beauty of living in the East Coast is to experience the four seasons fully. To sneeze through spring while admiring how everything is coming to life, Spring blossoms anyone?  To stash away our coats and soak in the summer sun. To watch the leaves change their color, soft breezes, then…. like an unexpected guest who then proceeds to camp in your house for months, winter creeps in. I can already feel it in the wind, the distinct chill. It makes you want to stay indoors, with a hot mug of  hot chocolate, and watch SCANDAL reruns. Ahh the beauty of life.

     I fell in love with my huge grey cardigan on site. Talking about SCANDAL, my sister, Flo mentioned it was somewhat Olivia Pope inspired. Well, why not? We are huge fans of the show and are always intruiged with Olivia Pope’s sense of style.

Is it thursday yet?

For today's look, I paired the grey cardi with a pink sheath dress similar to this one, and gorgeous black heels. The cardi is bound to make rounds this season thats for sure. Happy Monday guys.

Thanks for stopping by. 

SWEET PINK AND ANIMAL PRINTS

         There is something in the air!!! It must be the drop in temperature, or the gentle breeze on my face, perhaps, it’s the rustling of leaves strewn on pavements that has gotten me all excited!!  FALL IS HERE!!!

According to the Autumn equinox, I might be pushing it a little bit. The date that indicates the start of the new fall season should be September 22, BUT to me, it's already fall!! And boy oh boy am I thrilled!! Am looking forward to fabulous fall fashion, the football season, and I'm about to turn ONE this autumn!! Woop, woop!! 

Black and white is always a classic, having animal prints on it takes it up a notch. I paired my light, print coat with a vibrant pink dress, then added strappy high-heeled sandals to complete the look. Love how the colors give a beautiful contrast. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend. 

SORBET GREEN

On the August's issue of Harpers Bazaar, I read a beautiful article on personal style. It resonated with me and I decided to share with you just a small excerpt.

"For years, women who loved fashion dressed relatively the same, presenting a sort of united style front. If Christian Dior's New look was in, you wore it. Those slim, curve-hiding shifts in the 60's? Every woman wore one, whether or not it suited her. That now has changed. Personal stye isn't what it used to be. With the internet and the flourishing of street-style blogs has come a dizzying liberation that has enabled us to think about our clothes as a bona fide expression of personality."

 (Lisa Armstrong-Fashion Editor of The Daily Telegraph UK)

Couldn't have said it better.  I love seeing women of different shapes and sizes define their personal style by what they wear. No rules, just you embracing what you like. As for me, I rolled up my sleeves and soaked in the summer sun in a sorbet green shirt and a tweedy skirt, then paired the look with gorgeous red sandals for Zara. 

 "Hey am taking pictures for the blog, call you right back!"  Sounds like something I've said before. :)
