I always love reverting back to pastel shades. I always thought I was an all black, leather, biker chic kind of girl but apparently, like most things in life, things change. I changed and I decided calm neutrals and pastel shades are so light and easy on the eye which is why I have always been so proud to wear these hues whenever I go out...especially during the day. The past few days, the weather has been cooperative which results in my own sunny disposition. It is always fun to go out when it is bright and sunny, considering a lot of places in the city are open-air and sunshine-friendly.

Neutral Territory
I had quite a week and I mean that in a "I-am-majorly-in-shock-and-awe" with how much has transpired. Some good things and some not so good happened but ultimately when you want a life that is very quiet and not so up and down like a Richter Magnitude Scale, these highs and lows are exasperating. I've never been a labile girl and I am not up for emotional roller coasters, even if the sparks tend to become attracted to me like a magnet, making life a never-ending saga. So, where to begin? When life starts to resemble a television drama with the plot line of Days of Our Lives or The Bold and The Beautiful, that's not usually a good thing and you have to let go. Don't get me wrong, these shows are fun for entertainment value but not so much when you become part of the cast and it's playing out in your own life. The past week covers the full spectrum and I prefer not to go into the details but I am quite proud of myself for still standing. The secret to that is this: when life tends to become too overwhelming, it is wise to retreat to a neutral territory and that's what I did and perhaps my subconscious was affecting my decision making that it manifested in the clothes I picked out.

Grapevine Fires
Wine is bottled poetry.
(Sequin dress used as top: Forever 21 | Skirt: Glitterati | Shoes: CMG | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Belt: Vintage | Neclace: RUCKUS)
I mixed champagne gold with a red wine hued sheer chiffon maxi skirt which was part of my brand's 2011 Collection. The top, is actually a dress and was given to me by my sister from the US. Keeping the New Year Shimmer vibe going, I decided to layer it under my maxi skirt since the sequins complimented the hue of the skirt. Now to break off the sequin + plain outfit, I added in a vintage animal print belt (which I inherited from my mom) and added a fringe necklace to finish of the look.
This outfit was what I wore to my sister's so-called "LAST SUPPER" as she leaves for the US again and we had it at chic and savvy resto Masetto where the food was just divine. This is my 2nd time to eat here and I loved the food!

More so, there was no wifi in the spot our table was located in so we put down our phones and got to actually bond a lot that night! All in all, it was the perfect send-off!
PS: I'm done with my sequin spree. TRUST ME!

TOUGH LOVE
(Blazer: Zara | Chiffon Top: Zara | Maxi Skirt: Glitterati | Bag: Louis Vuitton | Shoes: Zara | Accessories: + Ruckus & Extreme Finds | Sunnies: Prada)
Color blocking in orange and hot pink for a Tuesday afternoon-night rendezvous.
If you are what you wear, you better dress the part you want. A few lucky ladies can do no wrong. Their looks: perfection. And they've got accessories to match. But most girls get tired of the same old look. And they'll do anything to get the hot new piece on their arm. And then there are those with no vision of their own. Thieves of fashion who will steal the shirt off your back. And always remember, appearances can be deceiving. But whatever you wear, always dress to kill.
Christmas Shopping and gifted myself with two pretty Marc Jacobs Stam Bags!
