maxi skirt

Breezy days in a Maxi

Maxi skirts are the easiest DIY fashion project, you just need an extra large piece of fabric and an elastic for the band and your almost done. Yes I did fall in love with the print and I had to make it a project. after a long stretch of the exhausting festive season at work and not feeling well after that, I just needed to feel good about something that instantly cheers me up. Also with the military styles being in trend it only seemed right to pick on my jacket.

The all time famous... B&W?

"Black and white" she said. It felt like I was condemned for no reason. I remember it was my 2nd assignment in college, we were told to do the whole submission in black and white. Right up to that point the two did not classify as colours, Its taken the maturity that came with age to understand the value of these colours. 

Many people would say that black and white are too jarring to be wore together, personally I find them elusive best friends. the combination still doesn't sit in my head. Yet it exhibits a lot of strength and control, the lack of the ability to fully derive a mood in the combination is most intriguing. But my mind that has to be Sherlock Holmes has to kill the mystery therefore to break away I picked to carry my red bag and gold choker to try to look edgy yet bring in that subtle classy look.

I know its been a long time since the world has been talking about monochrome! but we all know this is a trend that's always been around and can never go out of style. Trends are for those who forget that the things in your wardrobe can not be buried, remember to wear your style like your skin.

"Being glamorous is about strength and confidence. It's black and white - dramatic. You have to be strong." Catherine Zeta-Jones

Birthday happiness? never grows old....

"I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity." Eleanor Roosevelt

So what do you ask for every time your birthday comes up? Well every year I ask god to help me fine the spot in my head that people would call sanity! I think I don’t pray hard enough.  Well my birthday comes at a strange time! So I’m expected to celebrate Christmas and new years with it. That’s why December is the best time of the year for me. What I don’t get throughout the year I get it all in one huge installment. 

Well not every birthday is perfect! just like this year since I've not been working its been difficult to spend, because I have the great fear of draining my savings.( oooo not to mention I actually managed to save this year!) Well my mom got me few tops and a dress and also shoes :) , yet all together they looked mismatched! So I had to take a corrective measure. So what was the point of doing 2 years of design if I couldn't fix my self something. I couldn't help it, I've never been the girly type yet after having an overdose of MAD MEN I had to do it. I had to create something so 80's, and I fixed myself a half circular skirt. The task took me a few hours, and then I was pleased with myself.

Those are the super awesome shoes my mom gave me! I can't express the happiness I feel wearing them. Of course there is nothing like shopping with mom. Also love my dad for the super awesome rose gold watch from Tommy Hilfiger (p.s Its not in the picture) and I had to gift my pretty self something on the occasion, so I picked up the pretty pink box clutch.
