Spring...I miss you :)

Spring...I miss you :)
Spring...I miss you :)
When all the snow has melted this outfit would be perfect. I used the burgundy velvet jacket as a statement piece and paired it up with a printed scarf in contrast with the nude colours thus making the colour 'pop'. I am loving rich colours for this season such as deep maroons and purples. Pairing them with classic nude spring colours and black keeps the outfit true to the season but also keeps it very sophisticated and classy.

I hope this inspires the reader. (the make up was inspired by stunning supermodel Chanel Iman )

The short look

When I went back home for the Christmas holidays I had the impression that a short looking style would be good and then I thought maybe going curly was the way to go but in the end I decided to get a short, pixie look



Hair has always been an issue to me and I'm sure the same applies to other people with hair that becomes a challenge to keep up with if you A) Don't know how to take keep up with it
B) You don't want to keep up with it.

I am however glad that nowadays a person's hair can be an accessory like fashion or even art and I believe the negative connotations that used to surround this issue are now a thing of the past. For instance I would like to believe that words like 'ginger' and 'bimbo' can not be definitive of a person's character because one thing about hair is that you're not stuck with it, you are able to change it like a new bag or shoes.

If I was to rock an afro some might think its edgy, risky, retro and some might find it silly.

Being able to carry off that look with confidence is the thing that just makes that edgy, risky, retro, sillyooking afro...beautiful
and just plain original because its resembling you so much but still not to the point of defining you because what really defines all of us is too awesome to describe and too real to touch (I believe so).

Welcome 2011

This year started off on a good note. To start off with I have put a new post on this blog which is something that I was not very consistent with last year. This year will be different, hopefully. I am in my last semester on my study abroad in America which is also exciting and in order to remember my time here I will be keeping memories through the power of blogging and this includes a showcase of not only my experiences here but also my inspirations on lifestyle:)
