Pink on Point!

(zara vest, belt and leggings, urban behaviour tank and aldo shoes)

Here it is, my best finds of the month (so far) are these hot pink blazer and this elephant buckle belt both from my favourite store, Zara!  Blazer on sale for $25 and belt on sale for only $6!  I'm starting to think that Zara was pioneered with me in mind :D  And when I mean "me", I mean the frugal imitation buyer, because she can't afford the original ones.  Zara does me no wrong!

 

This outift made me feel really good today.  I felt like I was the "pink elephant" in the room everywhere I went amongst the dark-as-night black outfits that surrounded me.  That's what Winter does to you - make you colour-blind! Lol ;)

 

You might be wondering how come I didn't wear any accessories with this outfit.  Well, you know in interior design, designers seem to always want to project a focal point in room?  Well this elephant is my outfit's focal point, the only necessary accessory in this ensemble - so please focus on the belt and not at my face, hehe :p

 

Anyway, I love this whole get-up and I would wear this anytime, anywhere, with anything!

Once in a Blue Moon

I know I have been posting very colourful and bright photos of my outfits, but I'd also like to let you in on a different look that I also go for and love.  Stay tuned for more!

Paint Me Pastel

(zara dress, vintage blazer and belt, aldo shoes and forever 21 accesories)

For all of you fashionistas, I'm you sure you already know that aside from the neutrals and the sheers this Spring, pastels are also the theme this season.  So I decided to do a post on my own pastel take :)

This dress, to me, is sweet like candy!  I love the lilac shade and the ruffles at the front.  It depicts a very playful and cheerful persona - something I wear daily anyway, so this look is fitting for me.  This is why I love Zara - it seems to offer every outfit imaginable!

Ok, this blazer was a true find as I bought this for only $7 at my vintage heaven, Value Village!  I found this baby last Summer and I could not believe eyes when I saw how perfect it fit me and this is why I have to get my vintage fix once in a while as the finds are just unbelievable!  Anyway,  I thought it would go so well with my pastel theme as this has a shade of peachy pink.  I am looking forward to wearing this in so many different ways this Spring! 

Now, I did not want to look too sweet so I wore my edgy Aldo shoes that I love so much!  I must say that it is a challenge wearing these babies as I have a short stature and these go well if it is worn by someone with killer long legs - of which, unfortunately, I do not have.  But, I will wear this in my own way and style and although it might not look just as flattering, I will try to pull it off as fierce as I can :)

Happy Sunday everyone!!! xoxo

I'm not taking sides...just NEUTRAL

(forever 21 white lce top, club monaco cardigan, zara cropped pants and shooties)

When I bought this white lace top from Forever 21 about 4 years ago, I hadn't realized how much I would wear it - I love it that much that often times it is the first top I think of to wear, and everything else would revolve around it.

Another love of my life has to be these "shooties" from Zara!  These are probably one of the best impulse buys I made - and I make a lot of those ;)  I remember the first time I wore these, I thought to my self "ok these are now my favourite pair".  These are so comfortable and I just love how it goes with everything - and I mean EVERYTHING!  You will find these in a lot of my posts to prove it!

Anyway, I thought about this outfit around 1:30 in the morning, lol, then I find out that I made the right choices as I browsed through the ELLE Collections S/S 2010 magazine and found that designers such as Celine and Alexander Wang already envisioned neutral palettes for Spring!  You know what they say - great minds think alike ;)

Blooming

If you notice from my outfit posts, I don't really have a particular distinguished style or pattern or consistency.  I like it like that! :D  Usually, whatever random ensemble comes into mind is what comes into fruition.  Unpredictability is a beautiful thing - sometimes I might go for a minimalist look, carelessly shaggy, texturized, clean slate, daring, bold, blindingly colourful or dark as gothic, but whatever it may be, the important thing is not belonging into just one or two particular style, instead it is the honesty in projecting what is beautiful in your eyes.  You won't always get it right, but the fact that your confidence exceeded your doubt is far more apparently beautiful than any outfit you can come up with!

too Bright to feel Blue

(urban planet blazer, people are people shirt, h&m skirt, ardene scarf and tights, and aldo platforms)

6:25 a.m., I woke up with an idea as to what to wear to work.  I thought this royal blue top would go nicely with a navy blue blazer and a silver pleated skirt.  Then I looked in the mirror and, you know when you look at your whole outfit and think that although it could work , there is just something "off" about it?  Well that's what I thought, so I replaced the pleated skirt with this fitted pencil one and it was my first good choice of the day!

7:45 a.m., satisfied and off to work.
