Outfit of the Day: Black Monochrome

Hey guys!

I have taken advantage of the winter break in full force, no exaggeration here. I took the opportunity to catch up with all of my friends, which I am completely booked for everyday of the break. It is the perfect time since I have friends residing in other cities for the rest of the year and due to the holidays everyone is here for the break.

 I decided to wear this outfit when I went to go hang out with all my close friends. For some reason, I am into the colour black for this season and I've been wearing several black ensembles non-stop for the month of December. It is a look that can easily look put together and trendy at the same time by simply just pairing all the black items I have in the wardrobe. Also beanies just became an everyday staple in my closet since I am obsessed with hats in general. I feel the hat just ties the whole outfit together, whether it is a fedora, beret, floppy hats. As the rule of thumb when wearing an all-black outfit is just to style different textures, which I have done with the leather jacket, knitted sweater, and a jersey skirt. To soften this tough look, I added my black heart chain bag I got from Asos to add some girly-element. Here is the look :)

Outfit of the Day: The NewYorker

Hey lovelies,

How is everyone doing? I am psyched the weekends near since it was a long and stressful week. My final exams are near, within less than a month. The pressure is on, several conflicts are arising from group projects and I feel like I am off track on everything. You can probably compare the blog posts I have written from the summer to now and most of you can tell that I am becoming more negative. It is difficult to have a positive outlook while being a full-time student and having to juggle so many other commitments. Anyways I am on the search for finding that balance, that is my ultimate goal.

Well I should discuss about my outfit now, I kept it laid back and the weather in Toronto lately has been cloudy and rainy for the whole week. I decided to dress all black to reflect my mood, as the weather is not my cup of tea. When wearing a full black outfit, it is important to play up the different textures and same goes for any monochromatic looks. So I wore my leather jacket, my fuzzy black sweater layered over my chiffon dress and leather tights and some black booties. Here is the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Dark Fall

Hey lovelies!

I am beyond stuffed! And if you are not from Canada, then you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Well in Canada we are celebrating Thanksgiving Day! An amazing day where you have no school, work, nothing but just plain relaxing and eating great food. This outfit was photographed from yesterday... so I didn't wear this for Thanksgiving, rather I am wearing my pajamas. But I did celebrate it yesterday at my boyfriend's place and yeah I know what you're thinking this outfit is too dressed up for an event like this. Underneath the jacket it's actually an over-sized striped tee so it doesn't look as busy as this outfit photographed here. Of course eating a lot I need to prepare for this by wearing an over-sized tee for Thanksgiving and wearing a high-waisted skirt to keep everything in place.

Well more or less, I was filming today for my second part of my Fall Lookbook, so I figured if I'm already putting makeup on for the Thanksgiving Dinner, I might as well film and look stylish at the dinner. A two in one, actually I do this a lot; I put on the outfit I'm going to use in my video while attending school, which CAN BE AWKWARD because I may look too dressed up for school or ... TOO bold, especially when I'm sitting beside classmates literally in their sweats and hoodies. But I film right after and  then head back to studying (the life of a university student :( ) On a positive note, I love doing this and it's actually a lot of fun and one of those little things during my busy schedule I look forward to doing.

Well I wish all of you who are celebrating today, I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving and for those of you who are not, well I hope you have a great week! :)

Outfit of the Day: Grey-ception

Hey lovelies,

Another grey outfit! Hopefully I'll be posting more colourful outfits for this weekend since I officially completed my final exams and finally have some time to myself. I bought this grey tweed-like skirt on Thursday and I knew I wanted to experiment by mixing various patterns with the skirt. I went for a grey-monochromatic look and I thought this was the perfect fall outfit since the monochromatic look will be on trend for this fall and also the subdued colours will look nice to wear for the upcoming season. It already feels like Fall in Toronto, as it gets quite chilly during the mornings and evenings, so snagging on this speckled sweater keeps me warm during those nights. Anyways here's the look :)

Outfit of the Day: All White Everything

Hey Guys,

This is the look I wore for Fathers Day, pretty much we went to Korean Grill House for dinner to celebrate. I hope all of you guys have an amazing Fathers Day :)

 I had this lace kimono in my closet for quite some time and I didn't know what to pair it with and it's just this stunning piece with lace embroidery. I decided to wear it today and because of the texture on the kimono I thought I could create an all white monochromatic look by playing with the different textures of white clothing pieces. I wore a simple white tank in order for the lace kimono to stand out and I paired it with a white skirt that had some texture to it. I really like the combination of gold and white together but I did not want to make this a flashy outfit or anything, I wanted this look to be clean so I paired it with my gold mirror belt to break off the skirt and top. Well here's the look :)
