This summer has been so strange, not only due to the worldwide circumstances but in general it hasn't been very warm and its rained practically every weekend. I put together this rainy day outfit to keep up with the current weather. I've had this PVC bucket hat for a couple of years now and this is the first time wearing it, I got it from Amazon and its still available, if you are interested click [here] I paired it with a green quarter sleeve trench coat, to which I added a black bow at the front. I kept the accessories minimal with a patent leather handbag and black platform sandals. If you want to see more rain look check out my video below!
Can you believe this isn't a matching set? I thrifted both the blouse and skirt on different days and they look like they belong together! I thought the look gave off a Chanel vibe so I decided to go with it and bring in some more feminine accessories. I added a pearl necklace with a pearl pendant (Its actually a long pearl necklace but the pendant helps to shorten the necklace and keeps in place at that lengths )
I added a black hair bow and black strappy kitten heels. Let me know what you think of this look in the comments below!
It has been over a month since I've written a new blog post.... ok maybe more like two months. The pandemic has thrown time out the window and I've been trying to re-adjust. I have tons of inspiration for posts for the fall, but I don't want to get ahead of myself and wanted to post a few summer posts ! I wanted to share my favourite outfit I've put together this summer! I am wearing this vintage plaid dress that I got from Etsy, I added a cream belt to cinch in my waist a little bit. I opted for some cream accessories and decided to go for this cream hat that I thrifted for a couple of dollars, isn't it the most!! I also wore some gloves from Cornelia James! They are the Georgina Gloves in the colour Parchment, If you would like to shop these gloves click HERE (Affiliate) . For shoes I just opted for some nude heels. I personally think that gloves in the summer are an underrated accessory and I wish they would come back in fashion ! I actually posted a video showing you 4 outfits featuring summer gloves (The outfit in the blog post is one of them) You can find the others below! As well as make sure you read the description box under the video for a little history lesson on summer gloves.
I just spent the most relaxing couple of days enjoying my Birthday (its on June 1st!) On my birthday I went out to take some photos with a little floral party hat I made! It looked perfect with my floral dress.... that kinda looks like a grown up version of a kids party dress haha ! I took some photos at the castle and then had dinner with my family. We ordered Chinese food (My favourite!) and had a floral themed table... which coincidently matched my dress perfectly ;) after dinner we watched Marie Antoinette, and had some cake (Which was in the shape of a flower... there was a theme lo)
Yesterday, the day after my birthday, my best friend Adrienne surprised me by showing up at my house with a birthday gift ! I was SO SURPRISED! She also brought a gift from my friend Mikayla (The cookies above! Thank you Mikayla!) Adrienne and her boyfriend stayed a while and we sat in the backyard drinking wine, eating cookies and we ordered a pizza! It was so lovely to see her and to actually be able to hang out! They just lifted the full lockdown so you can gather with up to 5 people outside.
Wow it seems like it's been a lifetime since I've written on here... in reality it's been since December but thats almost half a year which feel liked forever. I think with the really harsh winter and third wave of lockdowns it really took a toll on me creatively. My overall energy level is very dependent on my creativity, if I feel creatively blocked I am unmotivated and feel completely drained. But after a long wait the spring has finally arrived bringing beautiful flowers with it! This caused my brain to sparkle and I had a huge wave of new ideas! I actually want to start posting on here again and maybe a few times a week? even if its small posts and little reviews of new products I try.
I used to look reading blogs on the daily a few years ago, and I feel like with the rise of social media that has gotten lost. Things like TikTok and instagram are definitely the powerhouses for influencers now. But I don't think there is much room to connect with your audience, at least not in the way I want to (or it used to be). I was looking back at old videos (Interviews) and posts from when fashion bloggers were just starting to make waves in the fashion industry and getting invited to fashion week. I remember that being a HUGE deal and looked forward to their fashion month blog posts with reviews of the collections. It was glamorous and those girls WORKED so hard to produce high quality content, some even looked like magazine spreads. And thats what got me inspired in the first place and want to bring more of that back. So if there is any type of post you would like to see let me know in the comments!
As for the outfit I am wearing... I recently got this cream pleated skirt and I already know its going to be my most worn piece this spring and summer ! it matches practically everything and its super light weight. I actually did a video recently where I styled it 10 different ways which you can find at the end of this post! (Youtube I've been consistent on so if you are not subscribed to my channel check it out because I post weekly on there!). I paired the skirt with this light pink blouse with puffy sleeves. For accessories I wore this floral scarf tied around my head and a wicker handbag. The perfect feminine spring outfit!
