Color Blocking with a touch of Print

Wearing: Forever21 Crop Top/  Vintage High Waist Pants/ Zara Lace up Shoes

Pictures By : Hassan Said

I've been wanting to share this minimal outfit with you for a couple of weeks now. But for some personal reasons it got delayed, so you can throw in an imaginary black coat and it will fit perfectly with this winter.

usually i pair crop tops with super high waist bottoms, it makes me more comfortable and it makes the look more symmetrical without revealing too much. This outfit can go from day to night and it will still look appropriate. of course my obsession with scarves this season is very apparent but it gives it a retro/elegant touch to a minimal color block look .Simplicity is better with a personal touch ;)

All Seventies look in a $1 Shirt

  

Wearing: $1 Thrifted Red Shirt/  Old Gap Flared Jeans/  Nine West Nude Clogs/ Aldo Blue Sunnies

Its been a while since my last post, studying and worrying can take a toll on me sometimes. But i am back and hopefully for a steady flow of posts. As you can probably tell, i am a huge 70's fan which makes it perfect that its all coming back this season and i am sure it will stay for a while. I got this shirt at a Sunday $1 sale and it was the perfect piece to pair with this old pair of Gap Jeans (that i kept for years knowing it will comeback..which was proud moment when it did! ) and i added a little navy scarf for a more nostalgic look with nude accessories not to overwhelm the red. I spent a whole day in that outfit walking around and grabbing dinner and it was pretty great, felt fresh all day and i give myself an extra point for comfort. let me know what you think.. Hope you have a good start to your week and get inspired to inspire everyday!!

70's Inspired Pinafore with Hints of Color Blocking

Wearing: Forever21 Linen Pinafore / H&M Long crisp Shirt / NineWest Camel Clogs.

How Are you guys? Hope you had a good week and ready for an even better weekend. i've had a couple busy weeks from friends visiting from back home to celebrating the husbands Bday. its been exhausting and fun! here is an outfit that i wore for a Sunday BBQ and meet up with friends later. the dress is so light wight which was perfect for the extreme humidity we've had, i styled it with light blue so that the colors complement each other in a 70's manner, with camel clogs for being neutral  and added just a hint of color mainly red with the necklace as chocker and the watch. Let me know what you guys think of this would love hear feedback. Have a wonderful weekend and stay inspired.

Hi There , Hope you're having a good summer so far. I guess todays post is self explanatory, i've been feeling like different variations of this outfit is all i need this summer. It is simple,  versatile enough to be dressed differently every night and easily goes from day to night, i just went minimal Asian inspired this time,but am sure i can get a lot of different looks out of it. let me know what you guys think and  please share what other outfits that you think is a summer staple maybe it'll inspire a future post.

All Black at A Secret Getaway in the City!

Wearing: H&M Skirt and Jumper /  Zara Pointed Booties /  Topshop Striped Tote.

Pictures By: Hassan Said

We took a random drive the other day as we sometimes do, and we ended up in a Beautiful hidden place in LA. We found Lake Shrine which is a Hindu Temple in the middle of a beautiful, serene park and lake. it is just one of those places where you can sit for hours not saying word and still feel refreshed and calm. i definitely recommend just going and waking around for abit probably mid week is best cause its empty! anyhow i wore a very simple  outfit since i didn't know exactly where we were heading, all black never fails. But instead of just jeans and t-shirt or shirt, i played with Silhouette mainly. over sized jumper with a slim cotton skirt and some silver for not being too bland. 

Let me know what you guys thing and please recommend any hidden place in the City that you like, i would love to know more :)

Till Next Time Lovelies xx

Hello Lovelies, Hope you're having a productive Tuesday! its pretty gloomy here in venice, which is getting to me a little. so i thought nothing better than blue and some print mixing for todays post. i Bought this dress in a 1$ sale and shortened it myself for it to look more current rather than being one piece of gingham that goes above the ankle. I styled it with this denim bomber  as it accentuates the color and adds texture, and finally wrapped this old scarf just to break the blue alittle bit. let me know what you guys think. its always appreciated :)

A Sunny Cold Day in Neutrals

Wearing : Skirt, Jumper & Shirt/Vintage   Clutch/Prada   Brown Booties/ H&M

Olive Sunnies/Urban Outfitters

Hello lovelies! For most of the winter time, i am pretty much dressed in these colors. for some reasons i specially love neutrals in winter it feels comforting and warm somehow(of course 70's inspired!).  i've had this skirt for a couple of years now and its my favorite, you can always dress it up or down, buttoned or unbuttoned and it still looks good. i am down with the flu this week and looking at these pictures of me in a better state makes me feel a little better. let me know what you think and stay warm!

Peace & Love/ Turban & Band Tee!

Wearing: Led Zeppelin Tee,  Peace Scarf as Turban,  TopShop Mom Jeans, Vintage Black Purse, Steve Madden Black Sneakers, Kardashian Collection Sunnies

As you might see, i am still pretty much in my 70's inspiration phase. here is a shoot we did a couple of days before new years, when the weather was actually nice and warm. i put this outfit together for a day running around doing errands and apartment hunting, its pretty comfortable and basic but still just the addition of the band and the scarf gives it a nice edge. hope you guys enjoyed your holidays and ready to take 2015 by storm, wishing us all good luck and prosperity.
