NOSTALGIC.



Overall Dress: Romwe / Silk undershirt: Wilfred (similar) / Flats: Chanel / Purse: Alexander Wang / Skull necklace: LeiVanKash / Gold watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

When denim overalls started hitting the shops this year I went bonkers! It's like a 90's child's dream-come-true! I actually still own overalls from when I was 4 years old, except now they fit me like a tank top, which is pretty damn charming if you ask me.
 Sadly, no matter how many overalls with shorts I tried on, it just looked unflattering. This dress I spotted one day on romwe literally saved my overall dreams, because it was the safest mix of childish and girly- making it so easy to wear! I paired it with a nude floral cami underneath and let the dress do all the talking by keeping everything else extremely simple.
Put on some pink blush, a big smile and instantly look 10 years younger! ;)

THE ACCESSORIES.




After receiving my prom dress this week, I went frantic looking for a clutch and heels. I needed comfortable heels that could last me all night, and a clutch that wasn't gaudy and decked out in sequins like most tend to be. Enter- this Kate Spade clutch that I spotted while browsing Holt Renfrew. It was honestly the only clutch that caught my attention as anything special. I also tried on these Alexander Wang Heels and fell in love. They were perfectly comfortable, simplistic, and complemented the legs beautifully! Just when I was going to buy them- the sales lady says, "Come back tomorrow, it will go on a sale of 40%" Uh, hell yeah! 
Now these beauties will sit in my closet until June 6: My 18th birthday and Prom! :)

TWICE THE DENIM.


Blue shirt: MANGO / Denim shorts: Vintage Levis (similar) / Sneakers: Converse / Purse: Alexander Wang

Pairing denim with denim can be tricky; it is either a horrendous mimmic of the 90's or tastefully chic.
I think the key is definitely working with two different shades of blue, and if possible, different fabrics (aka denim look-alikes). Denim shirts are a must-have for me, I'm pretty sure I have them in three different shades of blue, and even that doesn't feel like enough! This particular one is a new find for me from Spain, obviously, because so many amazing and dominant retailers originated from Spain! Zara, anyone?
Speaking of Spain, I got back home yesterday night and am still battling a rough battle with jet lag. Breakfast at 4am, dinner at 3pm. Something's not right... 
Hopefully I'll be able to visit Spain again soon, and spend more time in one of my absolute favorite cities in the world, Barcelona. 
Ciao mi amigos.

ROYAL BLUE IN THE U.K.


 Neon Cropped Sweater: Topshop / Striped Shorts: Choies.com / Jewelled Sneakers: K-Styleme / Sunglasses: Miu Miu / Skull Necklace: LeiVanKash 

It's funny how I left the house today looking totally different than how I came home... 
We started the day by driving to a mall in Marbella to buy my sister new crocs, but of course I had to hit up all the stores that tickled my fancy in the meantime. Several shopping bags later we drove to Gibraltar, which is a rock-type island that belongs to the United Kingdom at the very south of Spain. You have to go through passport control and everything, and everyone there had a british accent- pretty cool if you ask me!
I finally found these Miu Miu glasses that I've been searching for everywhere! I don't think these glasses look "complimentary" on anyone- you just need to tell yourself "I freaking love these, hence I am going to rock them, hence I am going to look good and feel good!"Simple, simple.
After a "breakie smoothie" in Gibraltar, we drove all the way back to Marbella for dinner :)
Tomorrow I shall search for speedy wifi in the city to upload a video!
Peace out. Girl scout.

SPAIN DIARIES.


Ah, at last the days have gotten warmer in Spain and the time has come to hit the beach!
I have already managed to brown up to the point of belonging to a different race, and co-incidentally burn my lips, shoulders, chest...and everything else. Oops..
These past few days have been filled with popsicles on the beach, driving up and down breath-taking mountains, tuna salads, hacking restaurant wifi everywhere I go, and shopping. Most importantly though I've been spending priceless time with my family. 

1. On the beach in Marbella today- where I met a subscriber of mine :) So cool!
2. On the beach in Marbella yesterday haha
3. One of my dreams finally came true: I step foot in Africa! 
4. Nothing better than a jungle within the city.

SPAIN TRIP☀


Cut-out shirt: Choies / Shorts: Vintage Levis / Shoes: Converse / Bag: Alexander Wang / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban


Hola from Spain!
I'm here with family from all over the world that I barely get to see, spending 10 or so days in a city close to Marbella, Spain. The beauty is surreal! 
I was in Spain last June, and I fell in love with Barcelona like none other. Catch up on my compliments here.
Today we went to Malaga, which from my understanding at least, is a city populated mostly by Spanish residents opposed to tourists. It seems like the place to go if you want to see a pretty authentic Spanish city, opposed to a tourist destination. We checked out the Picasso museum today, and I must say it was pretty interesting! I especially liked his quotes, which I sneakily and illegally snapped a photo of today in the museum.
Hoping that the weather warms up and I can go swimming :)
xo.
