Geometric Lines Meet Floral

Dress, c/o eShakti. Jacket, Old Navy. Purse & Clutch, Lulus. Sunnies, Ray Ban.

 
I was very excited when eShakti reached out to collaborate. I checked out their site and was pleased with their assortment of skirts, tops, and dresses. And was even more impressed when I learned that the garments are customizable for fit and style! I was immediately drawn to the Graphic Floral Print Contrast Trim Dress because of its striking contrast of the white against black geometric lines. Which also happens to be a F/W 2014 trend. Really enjoying that geometric lines interlock with floral print.

The red and orange florals easily transition this dress from Summer to Fall. While I kept the dress true to its original design (it was too perfect to tamper with!) I was able to shorten the hemline. I shortened it to a true ‘above the knee’ length (being a shortie, ‘above the knee’ typically sits lower on me). Oh, and did I mention the quick turnaround? The whole process (including custom sizing and shipping) took two weeks to reach my door. I definitely recommend checking eShakti out! And to help you play around with your own custom garment, eShakti is offering all House of Illusions readers 10% off* until 10/10/2014 using promo code ‘houseofillusions’.

Leopard Colour Block

 

Blouse c/o SammyDress. Jeans, Forever 21. Shoes, Aldo. Bag, Coach. Shades, Joe Fresh.

 
SammyDress contacted me and asked me to review one of their items. I was excited to explore the brand and found a lot of really cute items on their site. Which made for a hard time narrowing down my wishlist. Until I came across this leopard colour block blouse. Although they did have a lot of cute dresses, this top exemplified my style so well that I just couldn’t resist.

I love the bold red against the leopard and the colour block puff sleeves add a romantic, yet still edgy look the blouse that I adore. The sheer fabric feels great and the gold button detailing really accents the leopard print. This top would work really well with gold toned jewelry. Oh, and the shipping didn’t take too long either.

 
Have a lovely day!

Contrast Collar Blouse

 

Blouse, c/o Persun (here). Trousers and Heels, Zara. Wooden bracelets, Mango. Silver bangle, Betsey Johnson. Skeleton ring, Nasty Gal. Purse, gifted. Snake ring, The Bay.

As briefly mentioned in my last post, this contrast collar blouse was crush # 2. I’ve been wanting one ever since I spotted a co-worker wearing a similar style. Now while crossing the border in search of one (how she got hers) wasn’t a feasible option, Persun was kind enough to fulfill my desire! The chiffon drapes beautifully; is soft and lightweight, and really comfy to wear with its loose, yet chict fit. And did I mention that it wrinkles a lot less than other fabrics? So it’s very reliable for those mornings when you simply need to grab a blouse and bottoms before flying out the door – without having to steam. Although be warned, if you chose the beige colour (it also comes in black) you need to have a nude bra on standby, as this baby is pretty sheer. Let me know what you think….
