How would you describe your personal style? Right now I'm going through a transition of personal style. Ive been going through my wardrobe and picking out the piece's that are Deal or No deal.
Saving money to do a big shop up soon.
But....
I really love wearing pretty pastel and soft colours with a touch of black. I think a good pair of Heels/wedges is always a must in every girls wardrobe.
Floral Print or Stripes? S T R I P E S
The fashion piece you could not live without? A Pair of black skinnys! They go with everything, Love wearing mine with a gold belt, Cute top and some killer heels.

Nickname: Sarebear 
Age: 20
Ethnicity: Filipino / European
Hometown: Hamilton
Studied: Studied towards a Bachelor of Tourism for a year and a half, but I'm now currently working.
Favorite Colour: Its always changing but my colour of the moment is Burgundy hands down!
Favorite Designer: I can't choose just one! I love Olivier Theyskens the designer for Theyskens Theory, his clothes are gorgeous and so wearable...oh if only I had unlimited funds! Karl Lagerfeld is genius, Miuccia Prada, Diane Von Furstenburg and of course Juliette Hogan for her simple silhouettes.
Favorite Pieces in wardrobe: I have this beige chiffon blouse which always ends up being my "go to" after I turn my wardrobe upside down trying to find something to wear. I also recently purchase a black lace mini dress which is definitely a new fave of mine!
Listening to right now: Angel- Cody Simpson (On repeat on my ipod!)
How would you describe your personal style? It really depends on my mood haha. Some days I'll be in jeans, a tee and a pair of chucks and other days I'll be in a cute blouse and skirt. I'm usually drawn to wearing all black or black and white colour combos. However I do like to mix it up with a pop of colour now and then. Oh and I love a good mini skirt too, short hemlines are all you'll find in my wardrobe!
Floral Print or Stripes? Definitely stripes. I think its more classic and timeless.
The fashion piece you could not live without? Probably one of my black dresses they're so much fun! You can dress it up or dress it down, even changing up your accessories and shoes can change your whole look! Also a good pair of heels that you can stand in and dance around in for 5 hours straight and not have sore feet afterwards is heaven and also a good investment!
Leather or Fur? Leather, but in small doses. Such as a decent leather jacket or a pair of leather shorts (which I am still to this moment trying to find the perfect pair!)
Who is your style icon? I don't have just one style icon as such, but I do like Rumi Neely, Nicole Warne, Hanneli Mustaparta, Mira Duma, Alexa Chung and the Olsen sisters.

Valentines Day: Outfit Inspo

Valentines Day is drawing nearer so I've put together a few looks which can hopefully help you all in finding the perfect look from day to night. 
Whether you've got a day time date with a hot crush, a night time date with the other half or even if you're having a night out with the girls we've got you covered for this love filled day.

Day Look #1: High Maintenance Chic
By keeping everything else simple and having edgy accessories is the key to this look.
Perfect if you have a daytime date to a fancy restaurant.

Day Look #2: Simple Chic 

A cute blouse paired with trousers or even a cute black skirt along with simple accessories is the key to this effortless look.

try a low messy bun with a large bow to finish off this romantic hairstyle.


 Day Look #3: Cute But Daring.
Wearing a bustier/corset as outerwear is very on trend at the moment. Pair it with a high waisted skirt and wedges to get this sweet, yet slightly daring look.



 Night Look #1: Highly Detailed 
This look is all about attention to detail: the draping of the skirt, the architectural stiletto, lace top and a highly detailed clutch. To make this look work keep the colour palette simple to really make your outfit standout.

Try a simple twisted braid next time you put your hair into a bun.

Night Look #2: Muted Tones

To get these looks try a chiffon maxi high waisted skirt with a silk top/bustier or a chiffon dress with beige accessories. Keep hair in a low messy bun like the ones in this post, or have your hair in loose waves.




Night Look #3: The LBD

The LBD (Little Black Dress) is something which every girl should own. Its a foul proof dress you can pull out in those times of need and just know you'll look absolutely amazing in. 

The Rules: If your LBD is simple pay more attention to having shoes which are detailed and standout accessories.
If your LBD is detailed keep your stiletto simple and have a complimentary clutch.
