Boyfriend Jeans + Mary-janes

As you might have realized, I am a huge fan of denim. I don't own that many pieces which means I am always looking for new ways to wear those pieces that I own. These boyfriend jeans became a favourite once Elly was born. I have always wanted to dress them up with a pair of heels but when I have to run errands or make deliveries for my shop, I really don't want to be in heels. But sometimes style overrides practicality. I opted for my nude Mary-Janes to dress up my jeans and sweater outfit. A navy sling bag and loop earrings completed my outfit.

Have you tried boyfriend jeans? How else would you style them? Do share in the comments below.

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. And that's when I got my first boots which I absolutely loved and wore until they were falling apart. Over the years, my love affair with boots has grown. While at different stages of my life I preferred different leg-lengths and heel sizes, I can safely say that this is one shoe type that has remained a staple in my closet. These days I am obsessed with ankle boots. I can't get enough of them. I love them in all colours and styles and were I to give in to the shopaholic in me, I would buy them in all colours and styles. 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...

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!
