She Comes In Colors

I am a complex person who loves to be in control. If there was a handbook on neurosis, I would be the perfect example for it. Everyone always tells me to "Go with the flow. Take my time. Do not judge your own worth by comparing it to the person next to you because life is not a competition. There is no winning and losing. All you have to do is show up." These are all frightening words to tell me- really since I am one who prefers to always be on top of things. I have to admit, I have never learned the art to just breathe, just be and do things at my own pace.

Just Over the Horizon

I am rarely dressed bohemian and earthy. It's just not me. but on this particular day I felt very boho chic and decided to dress the part. Move over Pocahontas, I'm taking centerstage.

A Bohemian Look calls for accessorries in excess. So I did everything in excess. The lovely oversized earrings in antique gold with green detail are from my sisters accessories store in the U.S. Cultus ChiChi, the amazing chain multi-pendant necklace is one of my absolute favorites from my cousin's local based accessory line, +RUCKUS. What can I say? Fashion runs thick in the family. Added on some of my favorite rings, my serpent, a shield one with white enamel, my elephant face ring aka Babaar.

The colors scream FALL I seriously love AUTUMN and the color palette of my outfit represent the change in seasons, nature-wise.

I used MAC Pigment as my eye makeup in Copper Sparkle and Golden Olive blended together thus the mixed rusted shade. Kept my lips pink and pale with Bobbi Brown's Matte Lipstick in Pink Pale shade. As always, Shu Uemura foundation, VOV Cosmetics Concealer and Lancome's Bronzer were the foundation for my face.

I put extensions in my hair again so it looks fuller and well would have more volume. Did you notice the difference?

The Parachute skirt with uneven hem is a closet favorite. It was gifted to me by a college blockmate circa 2004 and I still love and use it until now!!!!
