Needless to say this was requested and a couple of people on youtube asked me to include rompers, high waisted shorts and pants. I couldn't figure out a creative title for this.

I don't own more than one romper or more than one pair of high waisted shorts yet. I have really cut down on shopping this year, believe it or not. I'm really bad at containing myself. I use to work in retail and that's what sparked my interest in fashion. Actually, I've always been interested in fashion but I never dressed the part until I started working.

Enough ramble and on to the video.

Tell me if you have a request! I would love to make themed Style videos like this on a weekly basis. I'll do the best that I can, I've got a vast closet but it's not endless (too bad).

I got skimpy with accessories and layers just because it's getting so hot that you don't want to over do it for every day wear.

1: Zara Maxi / Nine West Gladiators

2: Boodwar Dress / Le Chateau Platforms

3: Mango Tube Dress / Bamboo bolted ankle strapped sandals/ H&M & F21 accessories

4: F21 dress worn as a skirt $15 / Tank $7 / & belt / Zara low wedges

5: Zara skirt $16 / H&M oversized tank $7 / Mango belt / Jeffrey Campbell Mary Roks $124 USD

I feel bad for not being able to do outfit posts these days. Believe it or not, making outfit clips like this have been more rewarding and easier than posting pictures on chictopia or lookbook lately. I can think up a few outfits a night without having to worry that the lighting is wrong (living in a semi-basement facing north doesn't help). Not to mention, video is a lot more forgiving then still photographs.

Oh I love this denim shirt, it's so comfortable and laid back. I've already featured it in a previous messing in the fits post. The t-shirt and coral shorts are both from Gap, which were from a summer or more ago. The t-shirt actually has embroidered flowers on it, but that didn't show up. I got these turquoise sandals from Topshop on a trip to New York last summer and didn't wear them too much. They are not very comfortable. However, I feel in love with the the detail in the front and they can be effortlessly dressed up or down. Oh and that Marc by Marc Jacobs purse was a Christmas gift from my beloved.

I would have taken pictures outside, but lately, I haven't had anyone to do me the favor. I'm also in a rut because my laptop charger is broken. This truly feels like a dry spell! My mother's desktop doesn't have photoshop or the video editing program that I use for youtube. I guess I will have to make due.

Omg *drool* Alexander Wang's Edita, where have you been all of my life?

Forgive my title for the lack of creativity. I just felt like making a post about what I wore today and see how it goes. I really enjoyed today. Ramble...

Denim? Hmm!! Only the biggest, hottest and most vintage inspired trend to come back this year, No DUH!I can't even name all the denim pieces I'm feeling this season. There's so much to choose from; mini-shirts, pants, shorts, vests, jackets, even tanks, chambray tops or straight up button down denim shirts. Now is the time to get creative and pair of your denims with other trends, because wearing it head to toe would be a big no-no.

Cheap finds? I tired vintage or thrift shopping for denims. I simply could not find the right fit in terms of cut and style. I had found one jacket on a trip to a thrift store, but the sleeves were so puffy and it wasn't cropped enough for my taste. I really wanted one that was fitted and anywhere from cropped around the waist line or simply hitting just below my belly button.

So, I went to Forever21. If you live in the states you get a denim jacket for under $30, but get it fast before they fly off the rocks. I stopped by to get one and they were out last week. This week I was lucky enough to find one that was 3/4 sleeved, however it had these tacky monograms on it. No worries, I removed those easy thanks to F21 cheap treading which was easy to undo.

I talk a lot and I certainly can't show you everything I mention considering it's not in my wardrobe (although I wish it were. These looks can be easily accomplished with an endless list of other retailers' merchandise.

Safari/Military inspired blazers paired with floral (Mango)

This is a great if you don't want to come off too girly or too "Little house on the Prairie" since a jacket or blazer will harden the look. It's easy and effortless.

Floral top & neutral skirt (Zara)

















My apologies for the fuzziness of this one, blame Zara's flash website. I'm not sure I would do the plain ruffles myself but I would definitely tone down the floral print of this shirt with a neutral colored short skirt. That being said, denim bottoms would complete the look as well.

Denim with floral (Nastygal)





















Obviously, there are so many ways to wear denim and floral prints. Instead of a cardigan, pair a floral dress with a denim vest or jacket. Forever 21 has some great blue denim shorts with pink flowers already printed on them. You can also pair denim bottoms with floral tops as mentioned above. Mixed things up by wear a denim looking chambray button down with a floral printed skirt or short.

A little bit of eye candy - loving this from Mango
