They don’t call it “fall” for nothing

There is always so enticing about fall colors that I like. To be honest, I am not a fan of the weather but I do like the whole situational dressing involved in the new season. I am a fan of the colors and I think that definitely shows in this outfit which involves elements of a few of my favorite colors including cobalt blue and wonderful hues of beige and brown. I have been waiting forever to wear this outfit. You see, I bought it last year and it was just forever hung on the rack of clothing I have already matched and paired. Unfortunately, some clothes were prioritized and this ended up on the back burner of the rack. By the time I realized this outfit existed (yes, it is a very dire situation) it was already almost summer so back to the rack it went. Since it is appropriate to wear now, I knew I had to wear it. I paired it with my favorite beige cape (not seen on the photo) as the weather was quite harsh then but had some time to take some photos of me in this luckily. Don’t get me wrong, I am lamenting the return of the -ber seasons. A new season always brings in new hopes, new expectations so I always make it a point to take time and smell that musky scent of earth after rain (it is referred to as “petrichor” I think). It’s true that like all good things (aka. summer) must come to an end. And after all, “they don’t call it fall for nothing.”

Shot Down in Flames



Tangerine Dream.

Contrasting warm and cool tones in this simple denim outfit for my pre-birthday dinner + pre-celebration. I always love contrasting orange with blue. Each time a new year dawns, we would search for what’s new, what’s in and out in almost everything and the official color of the Year of the Dragon. 2012 Color: Tango Tangerine – “a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward”. This subtle orange tone complements a lot of skin tones. Since tangerine tango is a bright color, pair it with a more neutral or basic shade like black or nude to keep your look balanced. You can use tangerine tango-colored accessories like necklaces, purses, and shoes to brighten up your normal look.

What Else Is There?


Country Strong.

I resurrected my love for tawny brown and blue- very Marlboro Country meets Western Chic- I know, simple because this was one of my favorite trends from 2010-2011. I adore the two colors combined for some weird reason as it looks rustic and well, they contrast well and so I wore this outfit on a Sunny Sunday which I traditionally spend with my brother at the Rockwell Mall. Tied my hair up and a big bun as I was too lazy to style my hair down.

PS: I am selling this skirt AND MORE (Read: CLOTHES, SHOES, BAGS, ACCESSORIES) at this weekend’s BLOGGERS UNITED II Bazaar so do come by and SHOP SHOP SHOP!
