The wonderful people at Sugalips sent me this crochet black mini which I paired with bronze layered bangles and suede boots. For me, wearing a chunky cardigan over a simple, soft dress has become one of this winter’s most ‘go to’ combos. California is definitely changing the way I approach the season and brands like Sugarlips help this influence materialize itself.

Red Hat
Admittedly, the colour combination of white, red, and black is one of the safest of them all, but we still love it for its vibrancy and contrast.

Initially, I was a little taken aback by the request but he seemed pleasant and professional so I agreed. I wanted to start my own fashion blog for a long time and I feel that this experience gave me the extra push – it was encouraging and even empowering.

My encounter with Theo R., the founded and creator of www.styleinvasion.com, indirectly motivated me and I hope that my blog will inspire others. Lets continue this chain of creativity…
