Goth Chic

Hello my loves!

So here is my new outfit post. I decided to go for a chic gothic look this time because I always like to experiment with my style. I like taking risks and showing different sides of me. I love the fact that my style makes a statement on its own & can transmit my feelings without having to speak. This is basically the dark side of my style. I love how I came up with this gothic look using mostly black pieces, but I soften it up a bit throwing some white & silver touches to it. I love looking edgy, that's why I opted for the black faux leather pants,a floppy hat & a real bold dark lipstick. However, I didn't want to look too "witchy" lol so I paired it with a gem collar neckline white chiffon top to add a little glam to my outfit and the silver lace crop top over it to make it more feminine. My whole point is that you should always have fun with fashion. Play around with accessories, colors & textures. Style shouldn't be boring so take risks and make your outfit unique by adding some character to it. Even if you look at it years from now. Even if you think to yourself "what the hell was I thinking when I wore this?'' IT IS OKAY! That's why it's called a phase and you will actually look back and realize how your style has evolved and developed into a much better place.

If you don't feel confident enough to wear too much black, here are some dark lipsticks & nail polishes you can use for a much simpler outfit yet get a vampy/ chic goth vibes to it.

(Inspo)Here are some celebrities & models following the gothic glam Trend:

1. Rihanna 2. Kate Moss 3. Cara Delevingne 4. Kylie Jenner

5. Megan Fox 6.Kendall Jenner 7.Rita Ora 8.Kim Kardashian 9.Miranda Kerr

The names of the dark lipsticks that I chose are:

1. "Prince Noir" M.A.C Cosmetics, 2."Smoked Purple" MAC Cosmetics

3."Studded Kiss'' MAC Cosmetics 4."Instigator" MAC Cosmetics 5."Hautecore" MAC Cosmetics

6."Transylvania" NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream 7."Copenhagen" NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream

Overalls & Mixed Prints

Hello my Loves!

Overalls have been a huge trend since this past Summer. I was so excited to find out that they will be bringing them back again. However, not everyone was ecstatic as I was. Actually, the majority of women think that overalls are very unflattering & extremely childish looking. That's cray! right?

I personally adore overalls. I think is just a matter of styling, find the right fit and then you'll learn the right way to wear them well. For those who don't like them, should definitely give it another shot and I promise you will eventually fall in love.

Here is my Fall/Winter Overall Look!

I decided to keep my look very simple but fun by pairing slim-fit overalls with a long sleeve top, light black scarf, Leopard print heels & last but not least, my black classic Chanel bag.

I love mixing prints & patterns so why not throw that in my outfit as well? I mean, as long as it looks good. Why not?

I think the finished look came out pretty cute, feminine & fun!

Oh you know just caught here snapchatting! (behind the scenes) LOL

Let one side hang down like you don't care.

It's a hair flip girl, It's a hair flippp!!!! :-P

Oh just here feeling divalicious with my beautiful statement jewelry!

WHAT I WORE:

Long Sleeve Stripe Top: Motivi HERE

Denim Ripped Overalls & Leopard Print Heels: ZARA HERE

Silver Ear Cuff, Silver Two Finger Ring & Rhinestone Bracelet: The Chiq Jewelry HERE

Black Caviar Leather Handbag: CHANEL HERE

Metallic & Polka dots

Hello my loves!

The holidays are coming up quickly, so I decided to make another holiday inspired look.

I'm all about that bling & metallic vibes for the holidays. From glitzy, shimmery, metallic fabrics & embellished details!

If you don't like to go all out with the typical sequined or bright colored pieces for the holidays, then this look will be a perfect choice for you! This look can be achieved with pieces that you probably already own. I mean, who doesn't have a classic black blazer hanging in their closet?

If you don't, then you definitely should!

Therefore, I decided to wear a white chiffon top under my blazer & opted for this interesting metallic pleated skirt, I had hanging in my closet for a few years now. I feel like this skirt is perfect because the fabric is not such a bright metallic tone as well as the heels. To finish off this look, I put on cute polka dots panty hoes & threw on a gorgeous dark stones necklace that actually matched my skirt perfectly.
