If there is a trend that is inescapable, its denim! Thats where I bring in the denim vest, this trendy piece is versatile, flattering, and adds edge to even the girliest pieces in our wardrobes. Thats why I decided to pair it up with a turquoise green pleated skirt and color blocked it with a hot pink tank

I went for  this faded, sun-kissed light blue that looks great with just about every other color, especially since my outfit is color blocked to give it a color clash rather than a match. I love the back at the back....the tiny bows are just soooo cute.
 

                                                I adore pleats....they so flirty and fun

                               I accessorised the vest with a silver neck piece and yellow loops

                                 Finished it off with these sexy leopard print booties

 Honestly, I am obsessed with this summer trend......STRIPES. Not only are they adorable and chic, they add that bold and daring element to your look. I recently just bought these pants, ofcos I was concerned I might end up looking like a jailbird but the eclectic part of me had to have em. 

I first spotted nautical vertical striped pants on Elle MacPhearson in the fashion star reality show and since then being hoping to get me a perfect pair. They are really dramatic trousers and definitely make a statement. I was concerned about looking like a jailbird but the eclectic side of to me won over so i had to add it in my closet. 

I always find black and white goes well with bold hues so i went for the red cropped jacket and a bold bronze neck piece.

   

                        I kept the accessories to a minimal and added a non competing blue woven purse 

I did a black tank and black booties so as not to compete with the stripes, then
a tangerine hair bow

Hi y'all feels like a minute but got down with a bout of flu last week and it was the worst i have ever had. But am fine and am believing you to be fab too.

Well i finally got to do my hair and i went for something very simple that i can play around with.

I got this denim shirt dress in Machakos as i was visiting home a few weeks ago and i could not wait to dress it up. There are countless ways to wear this dress and i will break it down for you as time goes by.

I wore it simply just like a dress, buttoned it up and added a gold collar necklace to spruce up the outfit

I added a pop of color with the tangerine tassel earrings and held my hair up in a side pony and roped it up.

Finished it off with these bronze peep toe ankle boots from chinese laundry with ruffles and carried a brown leather bag

This my outfit for today, it was so cold in the morning so i decided to do this oversized fuschia blazer. It has become one of the must haves in  your closet and its easy as raiding your boyfriends closet. Its boxy and has an oversize cut, i tend to love them....they are a throwback to the 80's. Below is my polyvore of the outfit.....

I wore it over dark leggings and paired it with my BCBG max azria ankle boots, i heart the ruffle details at the front. I added the pearl strands for a more sophisticated look and white button earrings

I did a sheer black shirt dress inside with dainty ruffles, the buttoned it up because of the blazer.I have a petite frame so i felt it was quite overwhelming for me so i decided to cinch it with a navy blue belt to add a shapely silhoute

I finally paired it up with this turqoise green tote bag.....totally obsessed with the color if you have notice from my previous posts
