Hey dolls,
It's October which means the spirit of Halloween is in the air. I was inspired to do a post for persons who want to have a little pre-Halloween fun wearing "everyday" items without looking too "costumey". In Jamaica, Halloween isn't a national fanfare as it is in the states so unless I attend a private party or something along those lines these items are the closest I'll get to playing dress up. I've selected a few conversation pieces that I hope you find equally fascinating as I do!

Halloween Inspired For Everyday Chic

Heyah dolls! I had to share with you all this awesome purchase I made just a few days ago! I havent even received it yet (still in transit) and all I can think about is how I'm going to style it! It happened last week when I was searching online for some reasonably priced flats (of decent quality) and figured H&M would be my best bet. While I was lucky enough to find some cute casual ones, my luck ran out when it came to sizing. Since I was there anyhow I decided to continue browsing the site. With absolutely no intentions of making a purchase whatsoever (apart from flats) I scanned through and thats when this gem decided to say hello!

Happy October and welcome to my favorite blogpost thus far!! I cannot believe it's already a new month- seriously where did time go?  To be honest, I'm kinda happy. September sucked *face palm*.... you remember that song by Green Day that goes "wake me up when September ends" sadly that's exactly how I felt ALL MONTH. On the bright side -I'm excited about the new month, ready to start fresh and hopefully kick some ass in my new pursuits! I do wish you all the best of luck and all the richest blessings for this October as well (:

Maybe if I were a 60s baby my name would be Vivian. I think. Or maybe its the polka dot shorts, retro glasses and laying in bed watching Pretty Woman this weekend for the umpteenth time that got to my head. Whatever the case, it seems  plausible - to me atleast :)


When I received these ZeroUV sunnies I knew the first time I wore them I would do so with the simplest outfit to make sure they really steal the show. So here, a sheer button up, polka dot shorts and capped pump- for it doesn't get much simpler than this. (Is it owning the ensemble?)

I'm not a morning person. BUT I insist on trying to be one. I dont know where exactly I got the notion that if you sleep beyond 10:30am you'll waste away half of your life-  but it's kind of a scary thought to have. What it means is that sometimes I really have to psych myself up in the  mornings; like wake up and get all dressed up (yeaah even on the days I have absolutely no where to go). Sad thing is though, by the time I have my tea (of course)- sit around my computer and do a little work, Mr. Sleep starts his seduction... & you know what happens next. -sigh- I can't be the only one this happens to!

I wouldn't be a good person if I kept this to myself; that and this happens to be the best channel for a PSA to declare: I accept Galavant bracelet gifts of all shapes and sizes, no discrimination. Thanks in advance (:

Happy September Everyone! The Summer season officially ends on September 22nd which means; Hello FALL. Hands down, fall is my absolute favourite season for fashion. Why? Generally speaking the weather doesn't get too frigid so the trends are centred around mostly light coats and cardigans with the introduction of more neutrals to dark hues. Since Jamaica is a tropical country we pretty much have Spring/Summer weather throughout the year, and so fall fashion is really the most action we can get where trends are concerned for the rest of the year without looking ridiculous- especially this year when fur and  knee-high leather boots completely consumed the runway for the Fall/Winter2015 (f/w15) collections. Sensibility would convey that fur + knee-high booties+ Jamaica's humidity is quite laughable.
