Leopard & Lace

This time around I styled this very feminine, romantic outfit and experimented with textures and patterns. I wore this delicate army green crotchet blouse, with some gray jeggings. Then since the blouse is quite muted I added this pony hair leopard tote, which can be worn in two styles, like you can see in the photos. Since the outfit had quite a bit of pattern mixing I went with some simple beige ballerinas and finished everything off with a plum lip.

This is an every day outfit that you can wear running errands, going to appointments or even hanging out with friends. It may be a little cold where you are, so just add a coat and voila, all ready to go!

Light and love,

Wild West & Faux Fur

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Christmas Eve is in 4 days and I could not be more excited for my favorite holiday of the year.

Even though it is quite nice to get presents, I much prefer giving them. That's why it's my favorite time of the year. I love to give gifts, love, smiles, whatever it is more than I like receiving them. I love how everything is so festive. I love the lights, the smell of cinnamon, ice skating, the food, the fashion and most of all time with my family. I love my family too pieces. I am so incredibly close to my sister (my photographer) and my mom, but it seems every time we pass a Christmas, our bond gets so much stronger and I love that. I love having a family where they are my friends too. How many times can I say love in one paragraph, oh my hahah.

Today was a day of errands around shops trying to plan Christmas Day lunch and buying food for the week. My sister's boyfriend is coming down to celebrate with us so we needed to get lots of delicious goodies. This is the first time we will be meeting him which I am excited for beyond words because they've been together for a while and he seems like such a sweet person.

Of course, going into town was an excuse for me to get my game face on so I styled this really chic, feminine, sporty and discreetly festive outfit. I love getting all dressed up because it makes me feel like I'm on top of the world and can do anything. It's really important to be like that on the inside but an outfit always boosts your badass feeling vibes.

I wore a crop top with a Wild West graphic with my polka dot skirt, added my navy blazer to give the outfit a more structured look and then topped it off with a faux fur vest for both warmth and a luxurious feel. I opted for my Nike Air Max Fusion sneakers because they give the look a sporty element and evidently are really comfortable to walk in.

As usual I've linked all items below and everything I couldn't find I have attached a similar option.

Out of curiosity, what are you all doing for Christmas? Are you as excited as I am?

Light and love
