Red Tropics

Hi petals!

I'm sorry that I've been away for the last couple of weeks, my sister was away first to Egypt so I didn't have a photographer, then the following week her boyfriend came and we were so busy, and then on top of it all I got a cold, so I have a valid reason for my absence.

Today I got inspired to style this very bright funky outfit. This is definitely the kind of thing I wear when I want to make heads turn. I took one of my favorite pair of shorts which have a tropical print and are high-waisted; they are actually summer shorts but, because they are black put on some tights underneath and they are cold weather appropriate. I paired it with a cropped red sweater, a browny orange lip and a pair of turquoise earrings. Since the whole look is very colorful I opted for my black Nike Air Max Fusions to tone everything down. 

I am really in love with this outfit and would definitely rock this outfit on a day out with my girls. 

Light and love,

xx

Favorite Statement Necklaces

I am a major fanatic when it comes to jewelry; when I was a little younger I was known for wearing bracelets almost to my elbows. As my fashion sense has evolved and matured, the way I wear jewelry has as changed as well. Something I really have been loving for the last couple of years is statement necklaces, so today I am gonna share with you 4 of my favorite ones. 

The tribal triangle necklace was one of my first statement necklaces and is something I love to wear to add a bohemian element to an outfit, especially when the hotter seasons come along. The necklace underneath it is a simple gold choker-like necklace with a leafy pattern, this is the kind of necklace I wear when styling a minimal and elegant outfit with other thin dainty pieces. Both of these necklaces are from Claire's which can be a wonderful brand to shop, if you want statement jewelry for an inexpensive price. 

The statement necklace with silverish-gray crystals is from Pull & Bear and is definitely more expensive than the other three pieces. The price ensures that the necklace is of good quality and, you can see that with the thickness of the chain which is very sturdy. This is probably my favorite piece of them all, it instantly draws attention to any outfit. As I meditate a lot and study many spiritual practices this has allowed me to develop a love for crystals as I work with them on a regular basis. The thing that drew me to the necklace was of course that it was layered with crystals. On a fashion stand point I love how the silver contrasted with the gold chain but at the same time the different tones compliment each other. 

The last necklace is another elegant choker-like necklace with turquoise and peach colored beads. This, like the simple gold necklace is something I would wear with a minimal outfit but would like to add just a little bit of color. Unfortunately, I don't know where this one is from because it was given to me by a friend quite a few years ago. 

Below I have posted more photos of the necklaces which allows for a better grasp of their small details. I have also tried to link some similar options!

On Call

I am truly so in love with this cape that my sister got me for Christmas, it instantaneously glams up any outfit and you can wear anything you like underneath. 

For this look my sister gave me the advice of fastening the cape at the waist with a belt which resulted in giving it some shape on my body and giving it more of a feminine silhouette. This is a very romantic minimal look but is still very comfortable and retains some warmth. I really like the neutral color palette which helps the statement lip stand out. Definitely an outfit I would wear on a romantic lunch date!

Tempest

Today I styled another comfy chic outfit where I threw on a very relaxed ensemble with the striped knit sweater, ripped jeans and converse but made the look more put together by adding this beautiful knit asymmetrical blazer with gold zipper detail. Of course I had to add a statement lip and some cool earrings.

Pushing On

The New Year is already starting off wonderfully, not too much has happened but there seems to be good vibes all around and that's just a lovely feeling.

Like on any day, I got the urge to style an outfit today. I am extremely happy with how it turned out. It's very minimal, comfortable and chic but seeing a little bit of my mid riff makes it a little more sultry. I threw on my trusty pair of jeans, with my favorite oversized tee that I tied up in the middle. Over the top I put on my navy blazer for some structure and added a statement lip and necklace to make it a little more interesting. 

As always I linked all exact pieces of clothing and anything I could not find an exact match too, I attached a similar item. 

Light and love
