Lounging

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

I’m just lounging around today.

This hoodie is a favourite of many, myself included, and it suited my purposes for today perfectly. I paired it with a pair of khaki shorts that I think look wonderfully velvety when combined with the lush texture of the hoodie and the opaque tights. I also wore a beige tank underneath for some extra layering. The socks pick up on the burgundy red of the hoodie, and the ballet flats echo the shorts.

Whenever I can, I throw on a scarf and some sunglasses, and these two compliment each other really nicely.

Bubble Gum

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I started out wanting something Flash Dancy today, but I think it turned into sugar sweet bubble gum :)

It was this slightly slouchy pink dress that started it all off, and after messing around a little, I went for some extra cover with a white Tee and white metallic tights. The ballet flats and leg warmers came from the dancer look I originally wanted to achieve, as does the shrug. I accessorised with the white belt and wristbands for some more detail to the look.

Perky & Sporty

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I’m feeling cute and sporty today, so I wanted a perky little outfit.

I love the blue dress from ETD, very versatile indeed. Today I paired it with the white shrug for a more causal look, and leggings and ballerinas for the sporty part.

This pony tail is a new release by Truth and I thought it a perfect fit for my look today.

Stable Girl

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

I adore the equestrian themes that Last Call does so beautifully. Today’s look is less couture and more casual though; for a day at the stables and on horseback.

The skin-tight jodphurs are quite sexy in a sporty and upper class kind of way. I paired them with the fitted and ruffled blouse for more of that upper class feel, and I finished with knee-high beauties of boots that are just perfect here. Only wooden hoops as accessories.

This hair is another new one from ETD — I think it just might be my current absolute favorite.

Sporty Sunday

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Casual Sunday today, with a little sporty feel to it.

The blue top is actually a dress (mini-mini-dress!) but I like how it also looks like a loose tube top with a wide elastic hem – it also has something of a tennis dress about it. I continued with white leggings and matching blue ballerinas and finished with white leather wristbands (although I really wanted to wear white sport wrist bands but couldn’t find any) and delicate silver hoops and necklace.

Juicy!

Friday, July 6th, 2007

I felt for a double-dose of colour today and I found exactly what I was after in these lovelies from Surf Couture.

This is a relaxed and sporty look, made special by the juicy colours.

I went for the sportier look, adding white sneakers, as I felt it would go well with the pink string-waisted leggings. I then added girlie jewelry — gold hoops with little hearts and a gold necklace with a pavĂ© heart pendant. I also put on chunky colorful bangles that echo the stripes in the sweater.

Juicy!
The hair is gathered in a loose pony and the make-up is light, pink and summery.

Cool Sofistication

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Today I felt like a clean and classy look. I had seen a picture in a magazine of a similar look (from Michael Kors’ summer runway show, I think) and loved it and here is my version.

The leggings transform the dress from cocktail to chic-sport, almost like a ballerina on a break. I’m keeping the accessories to a minimum, with a pair of thin hoops and a small clutch. The shoes are nude and the hair simply pulled back tightly in a high pony.

The make-up is of course also simple with peachy lips and just a hint of shimmer on eyelids. Product details below the cut.
