Tropical Punch

 I'm going to be honest and tell you guys that I'm suddenly loving more tees + skinny jeans combos. I love 3/4th sleeve jersey tees . I think it makes the wearer look chic and stylish even if you haven't put in any effort to styling at all. All you really need is some gold / rose gold permanent bracelets, great shoes- and by these I also mean slip-on's and a great bag. Yep. I'm all about relaxed chic at the moment so I'm loving prancing around town in flats and casual tops.
P.S: I only wore these shoes to the shoot, I changed into suede cobalt blue ballet shoes afterwards! :D I've also come to learn that I like to save my dressy heels for occasions. If I'm going to wear my pretty skyscrapers all the time, where's the mystery / fun left in getting all dressed up for a night out? Don't get me wrong, Being well dressed all the time is the way to go, but who said linen mix tees and a perfectly fitted pair of dark wash denims wasn't?

Black to Basics

Black is undoubtedly my favorite color. Although I have reduced wearing too much black in the past 2 years, I cant help but pull off an all-black outfit every now and then.
Because black accessories would be a little too over-whelming, I added in hints of nude to tone down the look. Silver accessories to match the embellishment on my neckline and the tucked in blouse make the look slightly more formal.
This is exactly what I would wear to work on a day when I'm confused about the look I'm going for. Over-sized blouse tucked into mid-waisted trousers and all in black! A mannish watch and minimal jewelry to complete the look is all I need.
Since we've already started phasing into summer and all the dark colors would slowly start fading out, I decided to go all- back one last time before the sun is up at it's brightest!

P.S: You can even work bright colors into an all-black look. My personal favorites are neon yellow, red and hot pink. Try the look by wearing some thing black and keeping the color of your shoes and handbag the same in a fun hue!

Heel talk! What to wear and where.

WOMEN LOVE SHOES AND THE HIGHER THE HEEL, THE BETTER.
But is it practical to wear heels throughout the week? I always believe that one must be stylish, but practical. I cannot say this enough! So here are a few ideas to how you can incorporate heels to a few occasions that may pop up in a busy week!

Movie Date at the mall:

Want to wear heels to your movie date but afraid of walking around a lot in the mall? The solution? Block heels! These are sturdier and help you stride and keep up with your partner’s pace! Try strappy block heels instead of pumps so you can take larger steps without having to worry about your heel slip out every now and then.

Running errands/ Travelling :
Invisible wedge kicks give you the option of looking stylish and giving you the added height while you're running around doing errands. These are a must have in my closet and they're perfect while travelling too. Not only are they super comfortable, they're also practical and go with almost any piece of clothing- dresses, jeans and skirts!

Drinks with the girls after a working day:
Stilettos are perfect for an evening out but what if you've got work the same morning and have no time to change? Mid heels with a Twist! I love unusual looking shoes especially ones you can take from a day at work to a night out. All you need to do is to add on some red lipstick at night and you're ready!

Interview:

Believe it or not, wearing a pair of high heeled pumps to an interview can make you look confident, energetic and strong. I love to wear a power suit with a pair of my highest black pumps to an interview. If you’re wobbly on 5 inches and higher, opt for 4 inches high,block heeled pumps instead. Remember to keep the pant suit tapered and not wide- legged!

Work:

Sky high heels can make you feel uncomfortable on a busy day at the office, especially if you have a lot of running around to do. Opt for low heels and something that’s comfortable enough to wear long hours. If you have wider feet, rounded toe shoes are better than pointed toes. Black and nude go with everything so make sure you invest in a good, comfy pair and these can last you a lifetime!

Brunch with the girls/ day time event:

I also like to call them day heels.Wedges are a more comfortable heel option if you’re not a huge fan of stilettos. What’s better is that it’s great for the day time and noon time while you’re having some fun in the sun with your girlfriends. Great for casual days, brunch with the girls and garden parties, where you don’t have to worry about your heel getting stuck in the soil!

Special Occasion dinner date:

Try to go for a classy-glamorous look. Pointed toes and bling are key factors to this look. Choose a mid heel in a sexy shape rather than platform pumps. Pointed toes are always chic and feminine. Satin, metallics, studded, gold trims etc are all good to up the glam factor.
