Full skirts are demure, sweet and ladylike, but what’s fascinating is how they can transport me to a time in fashion history when the silhouette of a woman was truly grand. When people made a real effort to get dressed. And mostly when there was a real sense of mystery surrounding a woman’s body. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a body hugging mini from time to time, but what can create its own breeze as I walk by, swish and twirl as I turn, and gives me a sense of freedom that celebrate my femininity and comfort more than a full flowy skirt?

I wore this skirt last September to NYFW in blue and thought plum would be the perfect color for winter. I love the intensity of this color and how it can be dark yet vibrant and mysterious yet vivacious. What you think of this color?

P.S. You may have noticed that the skirt looks darker in some photos, we were experimenting with direct sunlight vs. shade for our new lens. The true color of this skirt is when it’s in the sun (see last photo).

I have been looking for a furry white skirt for a while and when my girl Sab from Rouge Spark saw this at H&M, she quickly picked it up for me anticipating it will sell out (thanks babe!!) and I think it did because I haven’t seen it in stores since. Love the feminine fuzzy flare of this skirt, not quite fur, not quite fringe. Just perfect.

P.S. I noticed some has mentioned that the belt doesn’t fit or it’s out of stock in your size. You can still get it and use a leather hole punch pliers from Michaels to create holes so it will fit snug to your waist, then trim off excess leather :)

Happy Monday lovers!

Rock n’ Prints

Everytime I decide I’m tired of this skirt and want to sell it, I’ll put it on and fall in love with it all over again. The last time I wore it (here) was with a basic black corset top, but this time I decided to go a little bold and mixed the busy printed slim fitting skirt with an equally busy leopard printed bustier.

If it was 5 years or so ago, I wouldn’t be caught dead “not” matching like this, but I’m so glad that fashion has pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone. Nowadays I can’t live without a moment of mix matching colors and prints (well I can, but you know what I mean). When it comes to mixing prints, I’ll typically stick to two patterns at a time. If I decide to mix a 3rd or 4th print, it’ll be minimal such as a thin waist belt or a small clutch.

Caribbean Vacation Diaries: Part 3

(St. Maarten, Great Bay Beach)
 

We spent the last two days of our Caribbean vacation on the beach laid under unbrellas  in hopes of recovering from the sunburns (shame on me for always underestimating the sun!), ate lots of Caribbean food and sipped on pina coladas.
