ABOUT JEY

SHOP THE LOOK: blouse / jeans / coat / boots 

Hey peeps this is my first blog post in 2020.

January was quite a very slow month for me. I didn’t set any specific goals or resolution. And let everything transform slowly into what feels right, if you understand what I am saying. But I really have a feeling that this year will be a good one. Even if it isn’t, I will try my best to make it a year to be remembered. By the way, the last 2 years weren’t the best year for me in general. That’s why I hope this year will be better.

Furthermore, I want work on my negative habits like running away from my problems. Therefore, I want to tackle my problems and face anything that happens after. Unfortunately, I am also a person that isn’t brave enough to take further steps to achieve a certain goal because I am afraid of the ‚failure‘ but I want to be more confident with the possibility of winning or even failure instead of what ifs. To put it in a nutshell, this year will be the year of taking more chances and facing outcomes and making the best out of it. What are your goals for this year? Or lifetime goals?

Okay now let’s talk about the outfit, this was the first shooting that I had at the beginning of Jan. I was going with a cool chick kind of vibes. For this look, I wore a striped blouse where I tuck in the half in my ankle cut straight blue jeans. Then I paired it with some killer square toed boots which we will see more in my lookbooks and in this 2020’s fashion season. At the end, I complete the look with my favorite grey coat which I wear all the time.

Have you seen my new hair yet?! Lets talk about my braids, it’s been years where I wore braids and twists, my mum used to install them for me all the time. In addition, I wanted to change my look up a bit and didn’t  want to be bothered with my hair everyday. Also, I can style my hair and always look effortless, isn’t it a lifetime goal for every girl?

See you in the next post!

This year and a decade are over, so it is time to celebrate. Therefore, I created my New Year’s Eve fashion must-haves (my recipe). By the way, you can use this fashion ‘recipe’ for an upcoming party too.

Glitter & bold nails

Don’t be surprised if I talk much about silver clothing and sparkly things. Here I am wearing glittery nails and on the other photo, I have colored french manicure. You can never go wrong with shiny or colored nails.

The perfect NYE dress

When I think about the perfect dress, I always envision silver, sparkly or black satin or velvet dresses. In these pictures I am wearing the Birdie dress by Weekday, it is a long-sleeved midi dress which I paired with white strappy heels. Here I focused on light makeup and the colors black and white. By the way, the dress is also available in silver. 😉

Glitter stockings

Glitter stockings can make a simple, minimalistic dress or skirt interesting and party appropriate. And since everything’s about glitter.. why not?

Bold eye makeup

You can never go wrong with bold eye makeup. Here’s one where I focused on the color blue. Also, this blue eye shadow is by Essence in 06. And a few weeks ago I created a gold smoky eyeshadow look which I featured on this previous blog post. I have been playing with different makeup looks lately and I really hope I can inspire you with yours. 😉

Gold jewelry 

If you are not a makeup person or you just happen to love jewelry (and makeup). Then you can always accessorize your outfit with your favorite necklaces, earrings or rings. Here I am wearing a vintage wave necklace. And this square pendant necklace by oNecklace. Besides, they offer personalized jewelry. So please check them out!

Here I am wearing personalized earrings by oNecklace too ;-).

NYE shoes

I don’t really go crazy with shoes when I wear a dress, I either go with black ankle boots or sandals. And if my outfit is on the simple side I would go with sparkly shoes or wear bolder colors.

Mini bags

What will an NYE fashion outfit be without the matching bag? Here are two bags that I love so much. Both are very similar and can be worn on the shoulders and are made of nylon and therefore durable. Also, I think mini bags and baguette bags will stay in 2020 and will not go anywhere. And if you want your bag to catch everyone’s attention, you can always go with a sparkly one.

How many times have  I said sparkly or glittery? Hehe 😉

I hope I could inspire you for your own NYE look.

Oh dear, I never thought that I would love this year’s autumn/fall fashion. Normally, I don’t enjoy fall fashion that much due to the dark colors and the whole layering of clothing that comes with it. By the way, I am a spring/summer person because I can’t get enough of floral dresses and skirts.

The reason why I changed my mind is that many stores have come out with lovely pieces which I can see myself rocking until it’s winter season.

Therefore, I made an autumnal wishlist with pieces which you’ll hopefully like for these golden months. You can always use similar things from your wardrobe. I focused on classic & trendy pieces like leather jackets/blouses which I would pair with my favorite blue jeans. Or checked thick, wool blouses that give you a cozy ‘Canadian vibe’. Autumn and winter season will be the year of biker jackets. In addition, they make any outfit look very cool. And they’re pretty affordable if you don’t choose real leather and go with faux fur. 😉

I hope you like the list & see you in the next post!
