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.

OFFICE CHIC

Outfit details: Shirt: H&M / Pants: NY & Co.(Similar) / Shoes: Sole Society (similar)

While most people have a "work uniform" and I am not talking about the kind mandated by some employers, I am talking about the routine outfit you wear all the time, I am not that girl. While it's important to me to look professional, I won't be caught wearing the same boring outfits every week. On a weekly basis I can be seen wearing anything that reflects my personal style, which I tend to describe as "chic," from a floral dress with a light cardigan, ankle pants with a cute blouse, an outfit like the one above or jeans with whatever choice of blouse I am feeling that day, paired with our without a blazer or cardigan.

How would you describe your personal style?

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.

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.

If you're following me on Instagram you would have seen that I was on vacation in Europe for 2 1/2 weeks! It was such a beautiful, memorable vacation. I visited places that totally blew my mind and it was such a dream come true for me because some of the places I visited hold a very special place in my heart. My Great-Grandma made me the wanderlust that I am today and even though she's no longer here with me, I know she is so happy to see me do all the things I dreamed of. I also had some of the most delicious food and pastries and now, the gym are I are best friends again :-)

After such a lovely vacation, I am happy to be back to work. While I love the classic black and white, it wouldn't be me, if I didn't add a little pop of color or two to give it that "Nesha sass" and that's exactly what I did with this outfit and it turned out to be entirely me.  

I will do a "style dairies" for every place I visited in Europe, starting this weekend. I hope you're all having a great week thus far. 

SPOTTED IN POWDER PINK

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.

SHADES OF BLUE & YELLOW

Who doesn't love a little shift dress they can throw on for any occasion and with a little added accessories you're set? I love this dress, it's so simple and easy to wear and the material is so nice and light. It's very low maintenance and it can be dressed up or down and still be a stunner. I get so many compliments every time I wear this dress, I usually wear it with understated jewelry but this time I decided to wear this gorgeous oversized floral necklace that I begged my Mom for, for almost a year until she finally relented and let me have it :-) I absolutely love this combo.
