GREY & BLACK

I can’t believe it’s been already a year since I started my blog well 2 weeks shy for the blog to turn big 1. When I was contemplating to start my own blog back in a days and do some research about it, everyone used to say the people you meet through blogging is invaluable for one because you meet people with the same interest and draw inspiration from one another. I couldn’t agree more.

I met people that are inspiring, supportive and people I call friends through this medium that I can never take for granted. It is also interesting to see people I never met and only knew from social media root for me and support me in this journey and conversely the lack of support from the people I knew for many years was equally surprising. Well as the saying goes live and learn.

I will come out and admit I could have done more to take my blog to the next level. And that’s the goal I set for my blog this year. Be consistent, be creative in outfit posts and reach out and collaborate with likeminded people. I am also in the last phase of launching an online business that carries exotic handmade jewelries and I am hopeful that will give me an opportunity to inspire my readers and push me to do more. Lastly I want to take this opportunity to thank people that help me promote my blog like Fashion Bomb Daily, Curl Box, and one of my favorite blogger Simply Cyn and many more. To be recognized by you all was beyond heartwarming and encouraging. I am so humbled and grateful for the love you have shown me.

It appears there is no escaping from the major comeback of the 90's trend. The choker, the grungy plaid, the crop top,the overall and what is instantly becoming everyone's favorite; the double denim better yet triple denim trend is making a huge comeback. It is also worth mentioning the loose fit jeans and the over sizing trend is one that I am completely in love with. mainly because it means that I get to raid my husbands closet for some of his old and not so old stuff. hence the chambray shirt and the denim jacket is from his closet. Who remembers when 7 Jeans, Joe's and True religion had us believe you need that distinct stamp on your jeans to be cool. I clearly remember taking out the Levis logo from all my jeans so that people don't recognize my denim- now its all about Levis 501's and 504's with all its glorious logo and comfortable fit.

High waist-ed/wide leg pants are one that I will never let go regardless of its being on trend or not you can say I’m stuck in that 70’s ABBA look and I will gladly admit. I know this silhouette is not everyone’s cup of tea- and sometimes they even tend to be unflattering if not paired carefully. But if paired right, they tend to elongate legs- where my short girls at :) also tend to slim waist hence my obsession with them. I have quite a collection of vintage and non vintage pieces. Though I rather wear my denim and care free clothes most of the time; I like to wear this suit when I want to be semi formal. I like how the wide leg/high waist-ed pant gives a touch of playfulness to the look which I love since most suit tend to give this intense professional vibe that I am not so much into. Now the weather is cooling off, I am excited to bust out my vintage fur coat. I also love how it helps to emphasize the retro in this look.

The weather in Dallas is finally cooling off and I couldn’t be more excited to bust out this favorite thrift-ed cape. I am also thrilled to share some good news. The idea I entertained for a lonnnnnng long time is almost coming to life. I am launching an online store that carries hand made brass, nickel and wood jewelries all made in Ethiopia. I sincerely enjoyed hand picking pieces that are unpretentious yet funky that speaks to my aesthetic. The pieces range from distressed nickle cuff to a vibrant wood bangles to some stackable dainty brass bracelets. I hope you will enjoy the small yet impactful collection as much as I do- you know your wardrobe needs something exotic :)

By now it's pretty clear I love my jumpsuits and I own quite few of them. They are all my favorites clearly that's the reason I keep buying them but this baby is by far the winner. The silky material makes for an easy formal wear and the best part is that it is wrinkle free!!! I mean talking about winning. I paired the jumpsuit with simple pump and clutch to allow the jumpsuit make all the statement it pleases. I am also finding my self into hoops again- I blame Balmin for it.

It is becoming evident that I am having some serious love affair with mixing vintage finds with a splash of high end goodness. Where I come from, shopping vintage is not necessarily something one brags about. There is this stigma of only the broke shops from vintage store. Who am I kidding I used to have the same mentality till about few years ago. I will share more about how and why I became vintage lover in the upcoming blog post; and maybe I get to convert one or two of you anti-vintage individuals to an avid vintage curators :) Back to this outfit, I loved the contrast between the mundane piece as sweatshirt mixed with the luxurious fabric of all- velvet pencil skirt. I had to cut out the sleeves as the sweatshirt was too big and was a bit unflattering plus the weather calls for some sleeveless. Wearing: Sweatshirt: Ralph Lauren (vintage) Skirt: Vintage Clutch: Vintage Necklace: Vintage Shoes: Balenciaga

BYE BYE SUMMER

This appears to be my last summer outfit post as the weather here is getting pleasant. Believe me as much as I love twirling in my easy breezy yellow skirt, I so prefer a weather that allows me to layer or wear an overcoat. All weather rant aside, this skirt is one of the gems I found in some forgotten pile. Too bad I found it at the tail end of summer but I am sure it will make its appearance in a near future blog post as I love to blend warm colors in Fall/Winter ensemble.

This skirt I own for over couple years all of a sudden turn out to be my main go to this summer. Mainly because this brutal Dallas summer got me utterly helpless in what to wear and I brought out all of my forgotten skirts and  anything loose that doesn't stick to your body the second you find yourself outdoors.  I am counting down for the days until this weather cools off and I get to play with my outwear and wear my normal clothes.  Wearing: Sweater: Tildon Skirt: Zara Shoes: Miu Miu Bracelt: Marc Jacob, Saks Fifth
