A beaded necklace necklace is the ultimate accessory to transform a simple outfit.
Where do I begin. Hello I am Tanaka, your delinquent blogger :$ - BUT the important thing is that I AM BACK!
Last year my dear Godmother travelled to South Africa and brought back a beautiful multi-coloured beaded bib, that apparently instantly reminded her of yours truly (: Its been all of 37 weeks (thanks Instagram for the time stamp lol) and I have yet to take this baby out for a spin. When Steven, my wonderful photographer, so graciously agreed to be the lens behind my blog, my first thought was: I MUST SHOOT THIS PIECE!

Closet envy is legitimately an ailment, for me at least. I know this to be true because of the genuine covetous pain I endure whenever I see style icon Olivia Palermo and her amazing outfits.

Ripped jeans are timeless. I would know, the ones I'm wearing in this post were gifted to me in 2006!!! I believe on most days I do go for comfort and no matter what this pair of slouchy ripped denim has never failed me.
