Sorry for taking five hundred years to post something… I’ve been really out of it lately. But vacation time is over and I’m back with a bang (okay not really)!
i'm wearing : Sportsgirl Western Jacket ; Grab Voile shirt ; Seed Heritage skirt ; shoes : Windsor smith
I’ve finally gone back to flares, back to that seventies silhouette, but pairing it with contemporary pieces bringing it to life again, dress like I mean it. There’s something very unique and special about flared jeans and how great it makes you feel, it suddenly makes your waist slimmer, your legs longer, and not as casual anymore.

I am still keeping post on blog, how mad i am !??? photos, looks, headache, shoes... (:D) To be honest, I wanted to do it long time ago but I always made up an excuse to postpone it. No more excuses, time is now and I want to do in my life what I really want to, :D my English: could be worse, could be better... I hope you guys forgive me for any mistake... bear in mind I Could say a word when I got the city! plus I spend all my time on my computer, so I don't usually speak to anyone... I improve really slow. I will try my best, as always. (I am lying, sometimes I don't want to feel that I am being beaten by something/someone so I don't make any effort. all about fear, I guess).

I have about three oversized bags laying around my house that have become beach/pool/diaper/purse/all of the above bags. Each one of them is filled to the brim with towels, extra bathing suits, lip balm, sunscreens, wipes, makeup remover and more. I use whatever is in each one, because there’s plenty of everything
And during the summer I never feel like I need too much make up. A touch of bronzer, mascara and liner in the evenings is usually all I end up
My criteria for jeans is pretty simple… you have to feel good in them. I have been living in this pair. They have that perfectly worn-in vintage look that I’m always always on the hunt for and have a high waist that I’m convinced makes your legs look longer. I feel like a million bucks in them.
Sporting this look in all black. Aside from its slimming factor, black is and will always be a classic, timeless color, which is my theory why all people like it. You can fast forward 20 years from now and the color wouldn’t look outdated. There’s such a refined quality with the color black that it instantly makes one look more polished by wearing it.
Have you ever noticed how pretty the ocean can be when the sun hits it perfectly and it lights up like a disco? Or the way seafoam moves making the coolest patterns. (This look took a year ago when i go back to my Hometown country)
The second we touched down I couldn’t get over how different the color palette was. Fields of gold, trees that moved like glitter and blue skies that seemed to go on forever. It was a breathtaking scene that was so different and pretty I couldn’t get enough. It also made me look at my own seaside town with new eyes. Its funny how easily you can get used to your own landscape & i decided to go shoot and threw my favorite jacket on just for the

With summer around the corner I’ve been prepping my skin for the sun soaked days ahead. Surf and sand, hot tub nights, the dreaded sunburn and cocktails here and there will take a toll. And with all the excitement the warmer months tend to invite—parties, barbecues, beach days and endless fun to be had—taking time to pamper your skin goes out the window. However I have found that spending a quick 5 minutes on your skin every day is ten times better than having to spend loads of time treating and stressing over problem skin. So wherever your adventures take you this summer remember these 5 easy basics you can accomplish in 5 minutes:
First and foremost make sure to cleanse your face morning and night. Find the right products for your skin
Sunscreen, makeup and sweat can bring on some pesky problem skin. Exfoliating daily and using a toner will keep acne at bay. An extra 5 minutes of attention each day is a lot easier than having to cover up unfavorable skin issues.
Lastly go the extra mile once a week and do a mud mask for a deep pore cleanse.
I've pretty much had a crush on all the tulle skirts I've been seeing online for quite sometime .They are just so flirty and fun, and I love seeing them worn with a casual t-shirt and a leather moto jacket for a twist on the fancy vibe they usually have. I've seen a few pretty ones while shopping, but they are always way more money than I'm willing to spend. So I thought it was a good chance to get back into making clothing items from scratch (sounds scary, right?). I used to actually make a lot more items from nothing when I was in high school, but since then there's been a pretty long drought of that sort of thing. This project seemed like a good one to get back in the saddle for. Plus, making it myself was so much less expensive. and I was able to customize the length and layers to really make it fit the way I wanted it to. Isn't it look yum ?
The past couple of weeks I found myself in an inspirational-rut. It seemed no social media outlet was going to save me, no matter how many times I pinned or how many instagram rabbit holes I stumbled upon. From my mood to my motivation I was just plain bored. Then came a few meetings in the Churth , which I hauled myself to kicking and screaming. About 30 minutes into the drive I realized it was exactly what I needed. Time to clear my head, zone out and listen to music, which i had completely neglected as one of the best ways to restart the engines. I came home feeling like I had turned the page to a fresh start. So here’s the question, what songs do you listen to when you’re in need of a little inspiration?
I give myself a hard time when I reach for the same things in my wardrobe all the time. But why fight a good thing if it’s working right? There’s just no getting away from denim in my world. I wear it day in and day out. It’s the one thing I rely on (a lot) and sometimes have to force myself not to wear. The no-jeans kind of weather we’ve been having lately has made me realize that my addiction is real. I’ve been stumped and dangry (denim angry) without my mild, coastal 70’s temps. The tomboy inside of me has been kicking and screaming while wearing sundresses and skirts. Enter the perfect denim dress ..simple, short and collared. Just about the most perfect summer-to-fall piece I have yet to find.
I used to be afraid. Afraid of people criticising my style, afraid of people judging my body, just afraid. I used to look at the model-esq bloggers flooding the internet and think ‘what right do I have to put photos of myself on the internet as if people are interested.’ This kind of ingrained fear that comes from decades of subliminal body shaming by conventional . When I remember why I do this, it makes it so much easier to post a photo of myself in and think, ‘yeah, I’ll wear my husband shirt , Ellery crop top , Asos jeans who cares if it’s not figure hugging or minimising!’
The only piece you need: a button-down from the closet of any of the super-special men in your life. Colour and pattern don't really matter; go for whatever looks good to you
Step 1: Take a Basic Men's Button-Down
Borrow from your dad, boyfriend, brother — whoever! Just make sure the shirt is clean
Step 2: Slide It On
Slide on the shirt like you would a normal button-down, but instead of putting your hands in the sleeves, pull them all the way through the neck hole so that the entire shirt is around your
Step 3: Button It Up
Grab the sleeves and wrap them around the front of your torso. Then, take the excess sleeve and tie it into a bow just under your bust. Make sure the sleeves are pulled tightly so the fit is snug.
Step 4: Tie the Sleeve
Grab the sleeves and wrap them around the front of your torso. Then, take the excess sleeve and tie it into a bow just under your bust. Make sure the sleeves are pulled tightly so the fit is snug.
Step 5: Make Sure It's Secur
Once tied tight, your top should feel secure (not slippery) give it one last check and you're good to go!
When last year culottes came banging in as the pants of the season I wasn’t even bothered to stop and consider them as a trend (although they were) much less a possible outfit option for myself.
so...do you like culottes ? Not pants, nor shorts, or skirts, not too long, not too short (actually past the knees is the length), hot in the 60s, 70s, and, as my little brain recalls 80s as well.
It’s a tricky trend. Everyone seems to be scared or reluctant to wear one.
I haven’t been too keen that culottes are a midi length (ending at my calves) which usually makes me look short, truncated and like I accidentally wore my son’s pants.
I also didn’t like the voluminous silhouette, because that style usually works against my short, petite body shape ( makes me look fat).
Plus I had a fear that culottes would make me look like clown or a hippy.
But hey, when I tried a few pairs of these culottes, I discovered that they’re not that bad. Quite nice and elegant actually! I really liked this one too.
I like that they look tailored, smart and polished. I liked that they looked like mid length skirt. And I like that I can wear a bit more skin up the top to balance it off. they look quite cute right?
Two things that I always have in my makeup bag: a good highlighter and a black or brown eye liner. Simple essentials but boy am I picky about my basics. When it comes to highlighters I’m all about getting the right shade and shimmer. Too much of one looks obvious and achieving a natural glow is key. Sometimes I even mix it with a little foundation for an extra subtle affect. With eye liner I’m all about the consistency and how well it smudges.
