House of Illusions X Persun

Shirt c/o Persun (here). Boots, Aldo. Clutch, Nine West. Belt, Vintage. Sunglasses, Dolce & Gabbana. Wooden bangles, Mango.

I teamed up with Persun to show you a few of my favourite Spring pieces from their collection. While I’ve been crushing on a few different blouses for a while now it must’ve been fate when I found both in their Spring lineup! The first piece I picked out was this navy shirt for its versatility. The shirt can easily transition from winter to Spring by playing with the sleeve length.  Also by simply by pairing some leggings with it, as worn here.

At the same time I can’t wait for the snow to melt and warmer temperatures so that I can wear this shirt as a dress, sans leggings. This navy shirt also comes in black and white and is made from the most silkiest cotton I’ve ever felt!

The second item I’ve had my eye on is this blouse…stay tuned for my next post to see how I style it. However in the meantime make sure you check out Persun as they are running some great sales for Valentines Day!

Happy Monday!

Freeze

Sweater, RocaWear. Jeans, Kenneth Cole. Hat, Smart Set. Boots, Zigi New York. Gloves, Old Navy.

 
And then it was cold. Very cold. So cold that I had to dig my Russian style faux fur hat out from hibernation. I’ve never worn it before in all honesty, simply because the weather never called for it. But at -27 °C (-17 °F) I was not going to mess around! Indeed I can understand why the Russian style faux fur hat is so popular out there, man did that baby ever keep my head warm!

We managed to snap a few photos (it was too cold to stay outside for more than a minute) on our weekly run to replenish our west Indian groceries. Kind of ironic I think; to be picking up ingredients that make you think of nothing but sunshine and heat on a day when you can literally feel yourself freeze more and more with each passing minute outside!

Have a lovely day and stay warm! xoxo

Skeleton Grasp My Dark Virtue

Blouse, Lovely Day from Nasty Gal. Jeans, Zara. Jacket, Danier. Boots, Ralph Lauren. Bag, Coach. Belt, Guess. Ring, Nasty Gal. Scarf, H&M.

 
Really digging this Lovely Day blouse I just picked up from Nasty Gal. Initially I bought it with the intent of wearing it as shown here tucked into a pair of jeans, trousers or skirt. However, the blouse does have a longer cut at the back allowing for more versatility. The dark romantic florals of this sheer blouse flow oh so beautifully giving it a loose, yet feminine cut and the plunging V neckline is a bonus. Hence I am already pairing this blouse with a simple pair of leggings and over the knee boots in my head for its next outing.

Have a fabulous afternoon!
