The month of April has literally flown right on by - I cannot believe that we are just one day shy of entering into May 2018! Chapter 4, AKA April was one choked with highs and lows. Nonetheless, I feel quite resilient and optimistic about the months ahead! I try remember whenever I am going through a blue leg of the journey: No storm lasts forever; Every storm has an ending 😉
Since I've been in a blue/blah mood, it's totally fitting that I should turn to denim for comfort right?! LOL! Seriously, you just cannot go wrong with denim. This off the shoulder top is actually a thinner variation of denim, often referred to as chambray and the material of the skirt is called tencel. I like that both pieces are not as dense as regular denim, therefore making them ideal for spring and summer weather. Babes denim skirts are making a comeback - and I am HERE for it!
Until next time,

It seems like “they” or should I say “somebody” is always coming up with a new, revived, or revised name for something or another fashion related. For instance,  I recently discovered that OTS (off the shoulder) pieces are now referred to as b a r d o t, apparently a revived phrase from back in the day… Although I am most definitely a lover of fashion and personal style, I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert on fashion terminology, textiles, or any of the like. Actually, if I’m 100% honest⇒ I really don’t care. Whatever the industry decides to name and or nickname an item or trend is totally inconsequential in my head 😎 

My main focus when it comes to fashion and personal style is that what I wear makes me look and feel good. 

Today’s style story shifts from our venture down Boho Lane on over to the Little Black Dress Planning Team. With summer 2017 on the horizon, I’m totally ready to update my inventory with a few warm weather LBDs (little black dresses). This OTS number is made with scuba material and features a high-low hem. The OTS (off the shoulder) feature is actually optional, as the bodice can be pulled up and worn on the shoulders just as well. That simple change spells versatility for me, yes, this LBD can go for day or night and that is a win/win in my book 💕

Until next time,

Now that A P R I L has officially arrived (I’m still kinda sorta in disbelief about this fact …) I am determined to dress in living COLOUR on every possible opportunity! Yes Babes, spring has sprung, that means bring on the COLOUR!!! Plus I noticed that I’ve been in a black & white rut (see my posts for last month) it's high time for me to get back to my color loving self!

First up? A fantastically simple off the shoulder dress in the sweetest powder blue. This OTS number is warm weather perfection as it is lightweight (unlined) and versatile.  How so? Well it can be worn as intended - as a dress (Beware: it has side slits), or alternatively as a tunic (I’m picturing it with skinny jeans), and as a blouse (another look with this idea coming soon😏).

For my first go in it, I decided to style it with orange. Not only is orange the star of 2017, but it was also time for me to break out my new silk tie-up sandals that I’ve been crushing on in secret for over a month….  Seriously, I struggle to find the time to blog/share items as they are acquired 😋Am I alone in this?

If you’re a blogger with a full personal schedule but you’ve mastered the secret of instantaneously photographing and blogging items on the spot, please do share! Alas, I’m drowning in ‘new arrivals’ and time to share them in a timely fashion seems to be on the run-LOL!

Until next time,
