Happy Days

          Hey everyone, so i'm still away but i have some access to the internet, however I have not posted anything because i was either busy or sick. Before I headed off on vacation I wanted to post this outfit post but did not get a chance to until now. Currently, i'm in Ghana (West Africa) for the first time. I am enjoying it so far, but i must say what a big cultural difference. Its nice seeing my family that i have never seen before, however its hot and the mosquitos are killer here. Enjoy

Pink maxi skirt


       Hey everyone, so today is the day that I jet off to Ghana for a month. While there I’m hoping to continue my posts, but we shall see. Anyways, this is an outfit post of something I wore last week. I was running errands all day and then met up with a friend. The outfit is simple, comfortable and a practical way to incorporate a maxi skirt into your wardrobe. Hope to be posting stuff real soon, if not I will be back next month with loads of pictures.

vintage,test shoots,colour blocking and some fun


Hey everyone, it was such a beautiful day today, i thought it would be fun to do some test shooting, ring in the beginning of spring weather with some crazy colour. Therefore, this post is for test shooting purposes, and not so much an outfit post. I personally would not wear this outfit in this way out around town, like i would for my other outfit posts. However, i wanted a change from my boring self, and took the risk. Enjoy! I'll be sure to be back to my regular outfit posts, real soon.

Where do you get your clothes: I do not limit myself to one or two stores, however i really love Zara, h&m, and french connection. I also love thrifting  because it is exciting to hunt.

I purchase everything i wear.

These pictures are oldies but they are still goodies, they were taken a couple weeks ago. I love this romper that I had purchased in Atlanta because of the detailing on the back

leopard print,pink,cream, and yellow oh my!

Hey Everyone,
       So this is yet another outfit post, and I'm really loving this look because I was able to use a variety of different colours and textures without it looking that way. The outfit was also appropriate for the meeting that I had to attend to that day, without having to look totally boring. The look includes a few different colours and textures such as  leopard print, baby pink, cream, yellow, canvas, denim, leather, wool, and chiffon. Also, believe it or not the whole outfit minus the handbag was less than $100, and keep in mind that the shoes are Guess, and the jeans are Miss Sixty. My advice to you is lookout for warehouse sales and clearance sales. You never know what you may find.



outfit details: necklace & belt : thrifted, blazer: thrifted,blouse: thrifted, Leather bag: mother's bag made in italy, Jeans : Miss Sixty, Shoes: Guess
