Svelte Review!

A little while ago I was sent some Svelte Skinny Jeans and fell in love! Initially I had been debating on trying out the jeans or leggings and after much debate, opted to go for the jeans (I have a million skin tight leggings, very few jeans that can do the same). Based off their size chart and being told to size down, I thought I went with the best possible size but I actually think I could have sized down two sizes! Regardless, I loved the fit of the jeans, normally compression anything is fairly uncomfortable but these ones were actually totally okay, I was able to go out and about with my day without any discomfort (which usually doesn't happen when i'm wearing compression anything). My only complaint with the denim was the legs, disclaimer, I already find it hella difficult for me to find jeans that are super tight all the way, I was hopeful this wouldn't be the case with Svelte but sadly, they were still too loose and a little long for me. I ended up cuffing them twice and was content that although not skin tight, they we're just about right! Overall, I'd give Svelte a 8/10, if they could get the jeans fit down pact I'd definitely live in these all year round.

I'm on a rollllll with these posts lately, let's see how long I can keep this up? 😉
First weekend of September always feels like a bittersweet goodbye to Summer, it's also always my last weekend to get any of my incomplete Summer goals off the list! I managed to get one last good hike out and oddly enough opted to wear something different for this hike. I decided to swap out the running shorts and Nikes for a more feminine and breezy look (it was also 28 degrees and I didn't feel like sweating all day).

This Summer hasn't felt like Summer, I mean I normally complain about the weather but this year it's been pretty pathetic, to say the least. If it hasn't been raining, it's been cold (i.e. it was 6 degrees last week). This past weekend has been amazing, it was sunny and warm and only ended up raining a teeny bit. I made sure to spend some time out in the sun and absorb all that warmth before it goes away again.
It felt like a daydream lounging out in the glorious ~*~Sun~*~

I am not Sorry

I've been MIA .... again! I'd say sorry but I am not Sorry! I've had a lot on my plate, the past 12 months have been a whirlwind of different things and I let this part of my life slip, I intended on posting this 5 months ago but, every time I tried to start I was instantly overwhelmed thinking about how I was to explain myself and the reality is, I don't need to.

I've been busy, overall my life has had a drastic change over this past year and I really don't owe anyone anything. Fuck an apology, I am not Sorry. side note: I still love you all and I appreciate ya'll hanging in with me💖. I'm excited for the upcoming ideas and projects I'm working on aaand if I disappear here and there, rest assured, I will be back.

comfy~casual but practical

I've been living in turtlenecks/high neck tops for the past 6 months (what can I say, it's a work staple) and as soon as I saw this jumper from Junarose I knew I found a new piece to pair with said standard tops. I decided on pairing it with a sparkly one from H&M and my fave boots from New Look. This has now become one of my favorite go-to work outfits since it's so comfy~casual but still practical if that makes sense?

no feelings

 I fell in love with this top the moment I saw it on Lazy Oaf, I knew it had to be mine, so much so that I ordered it right away (unlike what happened with the Lazy Oaf x Esther collection! :'( ). I'm highly anticipating Spring and with any glimpse of better weather, I opt to pretend it really is Spring and wear anything/everything not weather appropriate.  The top is long enough to be a short dress or tunic length but I decided to wear it with my bowler hat, grid leggings, corduroy shorts, and boots.

queen of hearts

 Sorry for my late Valentine's Day look but, I'm the Queen of Hearts any day/every day anyways (just kidding) but, I do love anything with hearts on it and that's how it ended up being kind of hard for me to decide what to wear this Valentine's Day. I ended up choosing my burgundy coat from Junarose (which is now 30% off!) paired with a burgundy bralette, disco pants, black boots and my fave heart choker! Maybe next year I'll be super extra and try to do something crazy like 14 days of Valentine's Day looks, wouldn't that be fun?~*~

I've been MIA for way too long (update post coming soon) but I've come out of hiding to share this gorgeous Windowpane Skirt from eShakti with ya'll! The cool thing about eShakti is that you can customize all of their pieces in some way! I decided to make alterations to this midi skirt and make it into an above knee skirt which then made it into the perfect piece for work and hang times afterwards. I decided to pair the skirt with a plain turtleneck, black bomber, black sequin boots, an intergalactic necklace and my fun patch backpack.
