TWIRL

Outfit details: Skirt: Asos (on SALE) / Top: H&M (similar) / Shoes: Sole Society (similar) / 

The moment I laid eyes on this skirt, I kept thinking about twirling. Not only is it a super fancy girly skirt, but the color alone makes me happy and reminds me of some of the skirts and dresses I wore as a child. I really wanted to keep the attention on the fancy flounce/ peplum detail on this skirt, so I opted for a simple top with lace detailing and  my favorite pumps from Sole Society. I love this skirt so much I bought it in two colors.

OXBLOOD & LEOPARD

Outfit details: Blazer: Target (similar here & here) / Jeans: Levis / Flats: Target / Necklace: Boutique / Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren

Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a wonderful evening and looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. Here's a quick post of what I wore to work last Friday. While I love wearing heels, I also love a cute pair of flats and these Target leopard flats are one of my favorites. I decided to pair it with this oxblood blazer, also from Target and a statement necklace. This look can easily be transitioned for an evening out, by swapping out the flats for a pair of strappy heels / sandals. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend. xo

LAVENDER & RED

Since I live on a tropical island, my work wear has changed drastically from when I lived in the US; for obvious reasons. I am usually in the office before 8am, and on a good day I leave at 4:30, on a not so good day, I leave at 6:00pm.

 One key element of my personal style is comfort. I refuse to wear anything that's not comfortable, and that's where Express shirts come in, I love their Essential Shirts, they are so comfortable, soft and feminine and can be worn with nice work trousers, jeans or a skirt. I never plan ahead, when it comes to what I'm wearing, I usually go with whatever I'm feeling and this skirt and shirt was the perfect marriage of color and a reflection of my work style.

Venice, Italy oh how I love and adore thee! Even though we visited some beautiful  places on our trip, Venice stole my heart! Wait; scratch that, I left my heart in Venice. Words can't describe the beauty of the place and how relaxing it is. Apart from the delicious food and countless slices of Pizza I devoured, what I enjoyed most was walking around San Marco and visiting St. Mark's square, Rialto Bridge, the Basilica and other sites. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the alleys while gazing upon the beautiful blue skies and freshly washed linens  hanging from window.

I loved that there were no cars! Everything was transported via water and in more ways than one, the place was a maze; there were occasions when we walked around a few times and couldn't help but laugh. Venice exceeded my expectations and I am so in love, I can't wait to visit again. The only bummer was that Marlon and I didn't get to go on a Gondola ride as planned because it rained a bit the evening we planned to go and the temps dropped so there was no way I was getting on the water. I can't wait to visit again!

VIOLET

Outfit details: Top: H&M / Pants: Loft (sold out in the color I'm wearing) / Shoes: Enzo Angiolini Leealder (Sold Out) / Handbag: Tory Burch

I love a bright pair of pants for work and while I love pairing them with other bright colors, sometimes a neutral color is a go to for me, since it makes the pants stand out more. This pair of violet pants is one of my favorites, I have worn it with a combination of colors and they still seem to stand out; such a gorgeous color, plus Loft can never do wrong in my book, because at 5'3" I never have to worry about finding the perfect fit at their store.

FRENCH BRAID

Hello beautiful people, I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Two weekends ago when I went to my hair stylist, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair then I remembered a photo Danielle of the Style and Beauty Doctor posted of her hair in a beautiful french braid, to which I commented and told her I'll be stealing her look :-) Even though I have relaxed hair, the minute water touches it, it goes back to its natural state. So my hair stylist created this beautiful braid that I wish I didn't have to take out.

This morning I had the pleasure of attending the Women's Offshore Network (WON) BVI launch. It was wonderful to mingle with some of my friends, colleagues and other women in the Financial Services Industry. I already know that this network will become an excellent forum for us women to network.

For this occasion I was very "H&M happy" because everything I wore expect my handbag and shoes were H&M. This pencil skirt, I already know will become a favorite, I love the subtle dip in the hemline and little polka dots. The blazer is perfect for this island weather; light and breezy and of course I opted for my new favorite pair of shoes.
