Take Me To Your Heart

My outfit when I went out and about in Cyprus with my dragon boat teammates the day after the race. I haven't posted in posted a blog in a long time so I'm glad I have something to share again. I can't smile in the photos because my eyes are trying to beat the glares of the sun. :)

The Butterflies Arrived and Thawed Winter

We are enjoying the last few days of winter in Dubai for soon, hot and humid days will start. Dubai, being a small speck of the vast Middle East desert, doesn't experience the four seasons. But it gets cold and breezy in the winter and very humid in summers. As the mercury slightly increases, outfits become less layered. In this look, I decided to combine dark and light colors.

What I am wearing:
beanies - Max Fashions
shirt - H&M
waistcoat - Max Fashions

 pants - Lee Cooper, Splash Fashions
shoelaces - New Yorker

I bought the shirt from H&M eons ago but its one of my favorites.  The print is a collage of butterflies in a human skull. It's like telling a story that when the butterflies arrived, winter was killed and spring bloomed. The waistcoat from Max Fashions is made of cotton and soft, not the usual stiff and formal one. Best for street style look.

 

 Combining dark and light tones makes a cool statement. Adding a smile makes it more cool. :)

 

Feels Like New!

What better way to freshen up an old high tops than use bright orange shoelaces! I so love these pair of sneakers that I wore them in 2 of my previous posts. But then the all-black feeling was so boring that when I was scouring for clothes in Dubai Mall, I chanced upon these bright colorful shoelaces from New Yorker and didn't hesitate buying.

What I am wearing:
high tops - Max Fashions
shoelaces - New Yorker
loop scarf - Splash Fashions
 shirt - Max Fashions
 pants - Splash Fashions

I like to mix bright or neon colors with blacks, grays or neutrals. This way the colors pop. The winter cold air is still hovering in Dubai so its fitting to layer up so I wore this wool loop scarf. A great find from Splash!

This is officially my first post for 2014. And its been two months since my last post! Fashion is still my interest so I definitely have to update my blog every now and then. Until next post and a hello from me to you! ;)
