SLEEK





WEARING: Zara Blazer, American Apparel Turtleneck Crop Top (LOVE!) , DIY Skirt and Aldo Shoes

Not sure if anyone can notice the subtle changes in my blog layout but there are a few. The reason I did not post last week is that I have been busy with my friend Aina. She is a Communication Designer who loves fashion, minimalism and geometric shapes as much as I do, she collaborated with me to upgrade and update my blog's new sleeker look. She added triangles (my favourite shape) in a few places that we saw fit and she responded to every email, text or question promptly and professionally. I am beyond happy with the results. Thank you Aina! You guys should check her work here <3

I wanted the upgrade to reflect more of my personality and taste. Sleek, minimalistic, geometric and edgy in some instances. I hope people that visit my blog can recognize those traits, and the blunt but sincere opinion that takes form here. People change, life changes and I hope I keep on progressing, remaining true to who I am and what I like. Not too long ago I wouldn't be caught dead wearing white but look at me now, my wardrobe had an invasion of white pieces and I couldn't be more thankful. Thankful for being open to try something different and to identify myself with that which is both old and new.

  44. Uber cool look and just to say how happy i am to go trough blogs like urs. Packed with ideas and inspiration, im a very tired ok lazy person these days but here i am now willing to make a bag maybe :-) tnx

    ReplyDelete
  45. awesome look, the skirt's fab!
    and I get what you say about the white being something new into your style, I tend to change my likes and dislikes a lot... but in essence, I think my style remains, I just dress according to my mood or the vibe I'm feeling at the moment.. but everyone in fact knows I'm sort of a chameleon in terms of style.. as long as I don't lose that edgy/unique factor that makes me stand out from the crowd then it's all good, right?
    And you definitely have a signature style going on, whether you go from black to white.. it is there.
    stay cool!

  59. These are so beautiful! I love your hair like this & that skirt is killer, the super high cut-out/split makes it so attention grabbing & is such an interesting detail!
    I usually steer clear of white also, but recently I've found myself wanting to buy quite a few white pieces too. I'm even falling in love with the head-to-toe white looks I keep seeing, I doubt I'd go for an all white look myself, but it's definitely fueling my need to buy some white pieces! I think a perfect white shirt is going to be the first on my list, but now after seeing these I really want a white blazer too!

    PS: Love the re-design! It perfectly reflects your style & the aesthetics of the blog too, your friend did an amazing job! :)
