Bringing Back '90s Denim Skirt in Atlanta

Hi everyone, happy Thursday! I recently went to Atlanta and fell in love with this beautiful city. From the endless green canopy that covers the entire metropolis to the hearty southern food and generous southern hospitality, Atlanta really has a lot to offer an enthusiastic traveler. The weather there was similar to New York, pretty hot and humid at the moment, so I packed easy summer outfits that are versatile enough to wear to dinners at night. I particularly adore this cute denim skirt I picked up during the recent Nordstrom sale with that '90s vibe.

Spotting Fall Elements

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday! I apologize for the recent slow down in posting as I've been battling the flu for the last couple of weeks. Now that I feel much better and fall is here, I wanted to share some seasonal elements in today's post. Leopard print is a great starting point, along with some (faux) leather elements ;)

Spring Gingham Trench

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! What a beautiful spring day! Looks like we are taking a small break from the April rain for some much needed sunshine. I absolutely adore days like this where the temperature is perfect to throw on a light trench, and who can say no to some gingham? :P I've been a little busy lately with work. Between starting a new job, welcoming a new season and planning the next getaway, life has been a little chaotic. I think a splash of blue might just bring some calm and peace to keep me focused.

Plaid Fun in Chicago

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous Thursday! I spent the past weekend in Chicago, a city that I love fondly. When I was in college, I went on an exchange program to study at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. Although it was only a short semester, I really enjoyed every moment of this unique and invaluable experience. I used to drive up to Chicago every now and then to spend the weekend there.  Years later it's easy to tell that this beautiful city never lost any of  its charm. I like to think of visiting Chicago as catching up with an old friend that I haven't seen in years. It's familiar and comforting, just like the good old times, as if nothing's changed :)

Aztec Inspiration

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous Wednesday! Since the landing of snow storm Nemo last weekend, it was wonderful to take a break from the cold to enjoy some milder weather for a change. Despite the crazy weather, it was breathtaking to see the city transformed overnight to a winter wonderland. Blankets of fluffy white snow covered everything from tree tops to buildings, just like icing on a delicious cake. I spent some time at the natural history museum over the weekend and was inspired to put together an outfit with a tribal, native and rustic vibe.

The Modern Studded Denim

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a fabulous day! Despite plenty of sunshine, it's soooooo cold out there today. If you are in NYC...keep warm and bundle up!! =) I took these photos a few days ago when the weather was a lot milder. No doubt having just returned from a tropical resort island, I was already thinking about spring! Speaking of the new season, I have been on the hunt for a classic cut denim jacket for a while now, and my search ended when I discovered this little "stud".

Purple Sparkles with Rose Gold Accent

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great week so far! One of  my favourite colours of all time is purple. It is closely associated to nobility, royalty and luxury. I just adore the colour depth of purple, it's like a great mystery novel! =P Today, I decided to play with some purple sparkles, using rose gold as a highlight. I love the way these two colours work together. Silver would have also paired nicely with purple, but I was looking for a more subtle and harmonious blend of colours. I thought an injection of rose gold would be the recipe for a more understated glamour.

Pretty in Pink

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a wonderful day so far! I am a little sad that the Olympic games have finally come to an end. It has been an emotional but wonderful two weeks, full of joy and tears. I am a huge fan of the games with deep admiration and respect for all the athletes. They put in so much physically and emotionally to compete for their countries! I am looking forward to the next games in Rio! While watching rhythmic gymnastics one night, I was captivated by all the movements, the gymnasts move with such grace and ease! They were simply divine to watch! Inspired by their elegance, I wanted to feature an outfit that is modest and feminine =)
