FULL MIDI SKIRTS

Aside from Plaid/Tartan, one of the hottest trends that I'm noticing right now is the Full Midi Skirt. It's been around for quite a while (Since Spring/Summer), but I think I'm just catching the fever! I've never been a skirt person, so up until now, I rarely ever browsed through the 'skirts' section of online stores. 

However, after stars like Vanessa Hudgens, Jennifer Lopez and Kourtney Kardashian were spotted wearing the trend, I became so into it! Midi skirts are so feminine and lady-like. They can also help create the illusion of curves or the 'ultimate' hourglass body-type. Best of all, these skirts can still be worn in the colder months because of their bulky frame and length.

I noticed that stores like ASOS and ModCloth carry a wide variety of these full midi skirts, so you can check them out. I have included the links to these skirts in the picture above, which are some of my current favourite midi skirts! Are digging this trend as much as I am? I'm definitely adding at least 5 of these skirts to my closet ASAP!

Prints, Denim, and Turbans

I have been loving denim for the past few months like crazy! Almost every other day, I rock a denim outfit. Coincidentally, all my denim items were purchased from Forever21. I got this denim shirt about 2 weeks ago or so when they had their Extra 50% off sale items promo and I absolutely love it. It's light-wash and it has this unique Ikat print detail across the shoulder from front to back. I've been pairing it with bright skirts and jeans.

Finally, the most dreaded season is almost here and I now have to face the reality of the situation. About 2 months ago, I decided to wear my hair out for at least 2 months just to keep it healthy before going back to any full protective style. So with the cold weather approaching, I have been thinking of different options to protect my hair from the harsh cold. 

Shirt: Forever 21 | Scarf: Ardene | LOVE this option Sears  | Sunnies: Sirens | Earrings: Ardene 

After watching loads of YouTube videos, I have decided that scarves and beanies will be my go-to. This scarf I'm wearing is from Ardene. I love their scarves because they have so many unique and vibrant prints (mostly in-store) to choose from and they never run out of them.
Do you do any protective hairstyles during the colder months?

Tartan Love

So, one of the hottest trends for this Fall/Winter is Tartan/Plaid. Tartan is very versatile and lot's of celebrities have been spotted rocking this trend in different ways: tops, skirts, jackets, bag, and so on. 


Tartan Love


Topshop long sleeve dress, $73 / Long sleeve top, $24 / Topshop polyester t shirt / Zara checked pants / Mango pointed-toe pumps, $76

I love the classic Red, Grey, Black and White plaid prints, but I also really appreciate other versions of the trend: Black, Grey and White, Blue and Green, and many more.I feel like the other versions of plaid allows for more versatility, for example: mixing prints
You could rock these Blue Zara plaid pants and the Red Topshop shirt with some Red or Nude colored pumps!

Will you be sporting this major Fall trend? What's your take? Also, which tartan print is your favorite?

Weather Update: Signs of Fall are beginning to show. Somehow in my mind, Fall is equivalent to Winter. I know that sounds messed up, but when I think about Fall the only other thing that comes to my mind is the upcoming Winter. I feel like we don't get enough days for Fall. (Who's with me?)  Today was really dark and grey out here. I don't think the sun came out to say hi even for once. Regardless, Fall is still my favorite season of the year and I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Which season is your favorite? 

Hair Update: Of late, I've been wearing my hair out a lot by using bantu knots. Do you guys know any other natural hairstyles? I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, and enjoy the rest of your week!
