Fashion Journal Entry #7: The Lunch Date

Fashion Journal Entry #7: The Lunch Date
Polyvore set inspired by what I wore out to lunch with my friend yesterday afternoon. See post below! :)

It's been a while since I did a set like this, in terms of "decorating" it with makeup (in the colors I wore with the look, naturally). It's overdone a bit but I still like it! Hope you do, too! :)

Oh, by the way, some of the items used in the set simply represent ideas of inspired looks; for example, the cropped pants shown are actually wool pants. Not really summer friendly. But the cut and shape of them are just perfect so I had to use them. Let's just pretend they are linen!

The bag as well. Because I carried my Jessica Simpson purse, I decided to stay true to brand on at least ONE item in the set and this tote coordinated beautifully. However, it's a bit large; definitely too large for a lunch date but we are going to keep playing pretend and imagine it about half its actual size!

And finally, just as I wore my outfit both with and without the button-down blouse, this is set has been designed the same way. The coral shirt I used (from Pinterest; I wish I knew the brand/designer as I think it's an awesome top) would look great alone with the cropped pants. The blouse I used would look great alone with them as well. Paired together, obviously, the blouse would have to remain open, especially since the tank is a bit extra but in my mind, it still works! 

Be sure to visit the actual Polyvore link for more details and links for the items used in the set! For example, you must see those shoes in other angles. They are pretty bad-ass! And the detail on that bib necklace is just gorgeous!

By the way, I think I am going to start calling these sets: "How I Would Have Rocked My Look If I Were Super Rich!" I rarely look at the price when creating these sets. I just see something similar to what I wore and what I like and use it. It's normally AFTER I am done and view the details that I see the price; and then I'm all like, "Whoa."

Like those $8700 earrings I used: "Whoa." Especially when paired with a $7 ring! :p

For the next set I create, I will adjust the price settings before I start my item search to see what I find within a more reasonable budget! This should be interesting! :)

In other news, I still can't wait to show you the skirt I bought yesterday, and I bought a top from TJ Maxx today that I'm looking forward to playing with! So stay tuned! More glimpses into my style-life coming soon! :)

Love,

K.

SPOTTED: Feature #1-Selina

SPOTTED: Feature #1-Selina
Remember Selina from my "SPOTTED" feature? (If not, click on her name or take a little scroll down my page! :) Well, I couldn't resist doing a set showcasing a look very similar to the one she rocked so beautifully!

Plus, every time I think of her or see her photo, I hear John Legend's song "Maxine" in my head. Care to groove with me?

 

Oh, and for more amazing shots of Selina, check out my sister's blog post at Nia Fashionista! Neither one of us could get enough of this beauty!

Fashion Journal Entry #3: Nia's Graduation (UPDATED)

Fashion Journal Entry #3: Nia's Graduation

Oooh, I couldn't wait to share this set with you! I absolutely loved what I wore to Nia's graduation on Friday and the weather was just perfect for it! The dress was so light and flowy; the shoes were actually very comfortable and although I didn't get new accessories as I hoped, everything flowed together quite nicely! 

By the way, for those of you new to my blog, my Polyvore sets feature a photo of myself with a descriptive list of what I wore and then I create a similar look with slight variations in color. I normally try to stay within the same brands but I can't always find exactly what I wore online so I try to get as close to the look as possible.

Be sure to check out my Polyvore page as well! :)

Here are a few shots by my sister; check out her page Nia Fashionista to read the Spotlight feature she did on me! :)

Ballerina necklace from Zara, Jessica Simpson purse, ruffled high-low dress with braided belt by Allen B.
Multi-colored platform sandals from Zara; "Four-Leaf Clover" by China Glaze on my toes!
Multi-colored scarf from Aldo; tassel earrings from Doha; sunnies from JCPenney
It's actually driving me crazy trying to remember where I bought these earrings (which also have a matching bracelet that I wore as well). I know I bought them last year in Doha to go with my birthday dress but for the life of me, I cannot recall which store they came from! Top Shop? Aldo? Arrrrrgh! It's so nerve-wrecking! It will come to me one day! 


Now, unfortunately, I only have one full-length photo of myself in my little get-up, taken by my cousin Tasha; however, thanks to Nia's amazing close-ups, you have a much better visual! So here I am, getting my Spring-time bright white on! You like? :)

I LOVE!! :)
