It's been such a long time since I've done an outfit or fashion related post. To be honest, I feel somewhat rusty. What can I say? I just didn't have the energy to document my style... Anyway, one thing that's always fun to play around with is texture. When done right it can look pretty damn awesome. Here I played with a cheer blouse with gold skulls and a ivory lace layered short. I wanted something simple, monochromatic and modern. I played with (3) textures; faux leather, chiffon and lace. When it came to accessorizing I just went with my trusty Doc Martens with simple black stockings.

Fall Attire | November
Trying to cheer up while I get through my finals. It definitely feels like fall lately and I'm loving it. I can't wait to see Christmas lights and eating all the holiday food. I came up with this outfit because this is something I can't wait to wear. I can just see myself prancing around all cozy and warm in all this. It's such an easy, doable outfit that can be recreated by anyone anywhere. Yes, it's still hot here but during the night it's pretty 'chilly' and I could get away with something like this.
What would be your go to fall attire?

September Empties
Caudalie Beauty Elixir- I finished my bottle not long ago and I find myself missing it. I mean, it didn't do much to my skin but it did help me a lot when I was going through the wisdom teeth pain. The smell of it and feel helped me cope a bit. Don't know if this is enough to make me repurchase it though.
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange- I got the miniature bottle at Marshall's for about $2. Got it because I loved the smell and wanted to force myself to use lotion more often. I found myself trying to use this up quickly to be able to use my L'occitaine lotion and guess what? Mom got me a new one, sigh.
Ro's Argan- Oh why is this all gone? I miss the smell of this so damn much. Why can't we have a LUSH here? Online is just not the same.
The Body Shop Earth Lovers Fig & Rosemary Shower Gel- Got this at Marshall's and was drawn to the weird smell of it. I used this up very quickly since I loved the texture and how it went from liquid to gel form when I scrubbed it in.

Turbans!
Hi, guys! I did a collaboration with miss Desi on some turban DIY's she did. I styled three of the four looks we did, and I'm showing two here (the other one is for another post). So, if you wish to learn how to make your own turban, go check out her post. If you wish to see a couple of idea on how to style them, then keep on reading!
For the first look we did, I wanted to to be delicate to go with the bronze color of the turban. We did a very sultry eye look and kept the rest of my face very nude. I picked a flowy white ankle length dress and used gold accessories to blend well with the turban. For hair, I tucked most of mine to one side to give it an undercut effect. And last, for shoes I went with some nude pumps to give the effect of longer looking legs. The whole look is very chic and relaxed with a hint of elegance. When I styled Desirée I decided to go for a look you can wear to uni or to a rave. Very relaxed and light. I went for a simple graphic tank tucked into a black and white stripe body con skirt. I layered a denim button down shirt and topped it off with some combat boots. For accessories we went with silver to keep it clean and simple. As for make-up we did a very clean face, not using any eyeliner but only mascara and a nice sheer lip balm.
We kept the looks clean and simple, letting the turban shine through without looking like a fortune teller. Remember to pass through Desi's blog to check out her DIY and also stay tuned for another look I did about transitioning your outfit from day to night. Hope you all enjoyed!

DIY Studded Shoulder Vest
I had some studs lying around from a diadem I bought from Forever 21 that I didn't use. I decided to go ahead and use them on my vest shoulder. They're really easy to use, you just make a whole and screw them in... pun not intended! I like them because they're easily taken off and reusable, however it's sad that I need to either order them of rip them off a diadem to have some. We can't buy them here since they're not something that sells, pity.

D.I.Y Tribal Necklace
While on a day out with my mam and bf I stumbled upon a pretty necklace that was around $20. What I noticed right away was how easy it was to do it yourself. I always have D.I.Y's in my mind but I never get around to doing them, so I made it my goal to make this one. Here is what you need:
- Bobby Pins (as many as you wish)
- Spray Paint (whichever color you desire)
- Black Thread (length of your choosing)
- First you're going to take the bobby pins and spray paint them.
- Leave them out to dry for about 5 to 10 min before giving them a second coat. I suggest you seal them after.
- Take the thread and cut it to your preferable length
- Find the middle of the thread and start placing the bobby pins in an open fan position.
- Place as many bobby pins as you like.
- You're done and ready to wear!

Top- F21, Vest- DIY, Leggings- Marshalls, Purse- Ebay
I've been swamped with work and I feel I've neglected my blog, so I'm here feeding it some outfit posts that feature my new Erika P horn earrings. This outfit was very carefree and comfortable, perfect for working at a retail store and picking up after people. I'm a black & white girl, there's no shame in that but I do try to incorporate color in my accessories. This time I used brown to break my black and white outfit. Very casual and easy.
