Little White Box Pleated Skirt

White is certainly my go-to color, and I just love how this box pleated skirt fits me. The ways to style a skirt like this are endless, and the circle shape is so playful and sweet. The reason a box pleated skirt works so well is the defined waistline and the soft pleating which give the outfit an easy and feminine feel.

A white skirt is a great summer staple that could be styled with flats or heels, bold prints, colorful tops or a bright white-on-white ensemble. You can choose between a mini or midi skirt – or even have one of each  – depending on which is more comfortable and works best for your body type. Caged heels will add a nice edge to a girly outfit, and combined with a skater mini skirt make your legs appear super long and slim. I completed this look with a pair of bold sunglasses which are one of my most favorite summer pieces.

Box Pleated SkirtWhite Asos Prom Skirt Box Pleated SkirtMy hair’s been growing out pretty quickly, and although I’m used to my blunt long bob I have been tempted by all the pictures of gorgeous summer mermaid hair I see all the time. I’m not sure if you’ll agree but I always find different hair lengths and style suited to different outfits. Since summer clothes consist of a lot of maxi co-ord sets, tropical playsuits and cute mini skirts I might leave my hair in this land of in-between for now so I can have more style options available to me. What do you think, long or short?

Canon Rebel Package + Kate Spade

Blush and Blue

Nothing beats a good pair of jeans and there’s no two ways about it. We each have unique bodies and it’s important to find that pair that fits you beautifully and is also comfortable. I tried squeezing into many coveted styles and brands until I realized how good it feels to just wear the ones that fits just right. I’ve been searching for white jeans for Spring/Summer and I had to pair it with pasted shades of blush and blue. This outfit is casual chic and if you’d like to wear it to work just replace the jeans with a pair of chic cigarette pants!

Spring Fling

It’s officially Spring, and that means it’s time to bring out the midi skirts. Personally, I’m about ready to buy one in each color. They’re so versatile, can be dressed up or down and are really flattering on pretty much anyone. Whether you prefer to wear them with flats or heels, they are easy to style. I stacked dainty jewels and carried my new favorite pink bag, because I love a day-time look. I chose to wear these nude wedges to keep the look casual and breezy. Are you in love with midi skirts too?

Wish upon a Star

I’ve been coveting a few lovely items lately and decided to put together a little wish list for myself, and maybe some Valentine’s gift inspiration for those looking for it. I’m not big on celebrating Valentine’s day, but it’s always nice to enjoy it in the smallest ways, like buying a gift for your bestie, sending flowers to your mama or baking a heart shaped cake for your special someone. What are your plans for lover’s day this year? Xo
