DIY: Little Black Dress


 So last week I took out this dress which I'd bought a while back and made up my mind to change it. I'd been unable to wear it when I got it because there was something about it that I didn't like.
So I took out my scissors and cut off about 2 inches and voila! I had a better version of the dress. I'm really excited as this is my first do-it-yourself project.
Winter is kicking in here and the nights are quite cold. I wore this to a party and paired it with stockings and boots, it was a short notice and I didn't have time to get the boots that I had wanted to wear it with. So these ones had to serve the purpose. I added the sweater and necklace to add some colour and not look too dull. I'm looking forward to dressing up this dress in different ways!

How To: Wear Ankle Boots

 My obsession with boots started when I was about 14 years old. I remember making a deal with my mum that should I make a certain mark in my exams she would buy me a pair of boots.

Ankle boots haven't always been the easiest for me to wear. At first I struggled to understand them, to learn how to wear them with anything from skirts to dresses and pants but over the years, and after reading countless fashion blogs, I think I finally unde...

MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS

Hi all!! I decided to start monthly feature called Mid-Week Reflections one Wednesday a month, to give you a brief summary of what has been going on in my life. I thought it would be a good way for you, my lovely readers to get to know me on a personal level besides my love for fashion and personal style. On Blogging As you might have noticed, I have not been blogging very frequently.  2013 has started on a different note for me, from what I had hoped. The holiday seemed to end too fast and before I knew it I was back in the office, with no editorial calender and very little inspiration for blogging. I've tried all the things that I could think of to get my mojo back, but no amount of shopping, Pinterest or blog reading can get me back. I don't know what else to do. On Life My New Profile Picture After going through very many ups and downs last year in my relationship, I finally decided to let go and take the giant leap into the unknown. I was terrified a...
