In case you missed it; Pantone (aka THE Colour Authority) has officially announced 'MARSALA' as the colour of the year for 2015. Prior to this announcement, I only knew of "Masala", an Indian food spice that I LOVE! Channa Masala with garlic naan and tamarind sauce! ....getting hungry just thinking about it- so delicious! ....but, I digress.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!! I hope this special day will be filled with nothing but family, friends, good food and most of all- LOVE and LAUGHTER!

At age six I wrote a letter to Santa Claus and left it on my front veranda just days before Christmas in hopes that he would deliver to me, what would be my new bestie; a lifesize barbie with long hair and beautiful clothes. The next morning I woke up to find the letter in the same place I had left it, unopened and presumably unread. I recall this to be my first heartbreak. Recently I shared this story with my boyfriend, he generally has the answers to everything and so provided, on Santa's behalf of course, that I didnt have a chimney so he couldnt get into my house. Reasonable. Whatever the case, since then I've had a love - hate relationship with Christmas, and can you blame me?

I'm not exactly sure what is but there is something about the holiday season that really makes me fuzzy inside. Maybe it's the cool breeze (the closest Jamaica gets to snow) or maybe I was brainwashed by all the "it's the most wonderful time of the year" hooblah. Either way, I am always a ball of mush during this time. I still however contend with the fact that Santa may or may not be real since my house still doesnt have a chimney, and therefore my wishlists are never quite honored as I'd like them to be.

Hey friends! Before I start rambling, I just want to wish you all a productive and wonderful week (:

This week I am wearing an old corduroy jacket from H&M, olive denims I bought at JC Penny years ago and strappy heels from an Amazon store. Apart from the shoes, these items have been in my closet for some time which goes to show, you can revive almost anything with a good sense of style.

Hey Dolls!
Have you noticed that sports luxe or "elevated sports" seems to be a huge trend on the fashion scene of late? About two years ago the trend really started picking up momentum and this year saw a major break through especially on the S/S15 runways including from Topshop, Burberry and Rag & Bone. The most striking example and certainly the talk of the town at the moment however would have to be the Alexander Wang x H&M collaboration that impressively marries sports wear with all sorts of edgy appeal. I dont know about you all but i cant wait to get my hands on that collection on November 6th!

In the mean time, I wanted to style my own sports luxe look! Katy Perry was recently announced as the 2015 Super Bowl half time show performer which has pretty much taken over headlines; so, I was inspired to use this year's winners, The Seattle Seahawks jersey as the focal point for my look. I'm all about keeping the look chic so I opted for the platinum jersey as oppose to their standard blue one. That's why I love this Fanatics jersey shop by the way, there are so many jerseys to choose from; new, vintage and limited editions- authentic and replicas! So even if you're not a Seahawks fan, you will most likely find your favorite team's jersey there too, and in variations!

Before Breast Cancer Awareness month passed I wanted to do a tribute post. That's when I realized I didn't own one pink item. I love black clothes, occasionally I will purchase something with colour but bright pink is really never an option for me. I do have a pastel pink top and cardigan but those dont really count as they look more neutral than actually pink. Anyhow, two years ago my aunt Pat gave me these Love Label pumps with pink rosebud details and I have NEVER worn them. Yes, TWO YEARS and never once been worn! Lol. This cause (Breast Cancer Awareness) presented an opportune time to break them out.

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!
