Modern Gypsy

(Personalized Accessories necklace, Dress Code Project top, Super Finds bracelets, ALT Manila clutch, Bubbles skirt, Alaia heels)

The idea of this ensemble is simple- I make the most out of the combination, colors and patterns while holding onto my own style. I attended the Close Up Summer Solstice event a few weeks ago and wore this. Being one of the brand ambassadors, I decided to wear this blue cropped top with my printed mullet skirt. I am really in love with this top- nothing I've ever owned before. The fabric feels so nice and the off shoulder effect really makes the look flirty and fun. The entire get up made me feel like a modern gypsy! Now, this handbag I got it from ALT Manila is a must-have. I can bring the important things I have to everyday and I'd still look sleek. The zipper one-line detail made the clutch look extra edgy and admirable, don't you think? What's nice about clutches like this is that it works both ways: you can use it as your actual bag, or your gadgets bag when you have meetings. Put your ipad, ipad mini, phones, etc and you're good to go. Look professional and fashionable at the same time! I also love the color cobalt blue- it's striking and unusual, but not over the top. If you want to make a statement, choose pieces that are just as bold and alive and clash them together.

Astars x BMS Giveaway

 (Mademoiselle necklace, Astars top, Furla bag, Dress Code Project maxi skirt)

When the temperature starts to rise, everyone usually resorts to wearing as little clothing as possible- but how about wearing something elegant and breezy at the same time? Probably the easiest way to look classy on the beach is to wear a maxi skirt. This maxi skirt from the Dress Code Project has a high slit, making you feel like you can be comfortable the entire night. There's just something wonderful about the flow of this skirt- it makes it look extra classy. I love the elegance of a maxi skirt, and if your best feature isn’t your legs, then this is a great way to still get a sexy look without exposing your pins. What I love about it is I can wear it on the beach and even in the city too. Now, what's better than pairing it with this halter black top? A printed maxi skirt is extremely versatile, and this ruching top I got from Astars spiced up the whole outfit. There are a lot of directions you can think of when styling this top. The knot effect on top is superb and the style is really one of a kind. The fabric is so soft and thin too! I just wore this statement necklace to balance everything.
