GEOMETRIC GOODNESS

Charles Youssef captured simplicity and elegance in everything he created for his Spring Summer 2016 collection. His use of geometric shapes and patterns was pleasantly balanced, making his third collection both powerful and feminine. The beautifully embroidered silk organza pieces were so detailed and delicate, they took everyone’s breath away as the made their way around the room. He’s a designer to continue keeping our eyes on.

AND I'M BACK

It has been almost a year since I last did a blog post. Yikes! I have good reasons for this though. 2014 was a year of change for me, as I was testing waters and gearing up to leave my home in Jamaica to pursue oh so much. The journey hasn't been easy (actually lead to a new tattoo and the works), but I've somehow managed to keep pushing. I've also had a superb group of people who have been there on those days when I've wanted to give up and roll out. 

Anyway, the journey continues...and I hope you come along. I'll still be posting all the things my heart smiles for, but gear up because some new exciting stuff is coming! 

My word for the year is IGNITE....it's time to light some fires this year, as the flame in my heart oozing creativity continues to burn pretty bright. Here we go....

I posted this Chloe Spring/Summer 2013 runway look a few days ago, and because I loved it so much, the moment I saw the Zara blouse, I decided to give you affordable options to recreate! I would leave the blouse unbuttoned and wrap it instead though, so that you can show a little bit more skin! Enjoy!

Top, Zara; Skirt, Royal Robins; Bag, Lands' End; Shoes, BCBGeneration

INST-AL-GRAMMED

I'm a bit late with a lot of these images, but my Instagram follower (:P), made it slide due to my very hectic yet creative last few weeks. December was filled with sleepless nights, but I got many memorable moments out of it. I was able to go back to my first love...handbags which I've decided to stick with next year. I attempted the guitar, got the cute heart on my finger, was surprised with lots of happy things because I was stressed out, and had the chance to take part in a super event, Conversation Piece, where I took both my Grandma's with me for good luck on that little diamond ring. My life has changed....and I'm grateful!

My past week was filled with so much progress for my career, and absolute joy. With my brain in "idea mode", I took the time to relax and enjoy the simple pleasures I have been given in this life. I am blessed and grateful! Have a lovely week everyone!

Love, Alia
