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!

Hey peeps!

I just wanted to share with you my edit of the summer trends of 2019. The trend pieces were inspired by magazines, Pinterest, my wardrobe and Instagram.

By the way, I included a lot of links to similar pieces with low to high price tags. Also, some of the links are affiliate links where I earn a tiny commission.

1. The silk/satin dress

I still remember when silk dresses were only associated with nightgowns but I am happy that you can wear it out now. Also, I love how it comes in different styles, so it doesn’t look so much like a sleeping dress. I also prefer silk dresses with vintage silhouettes. Furthermore, I’ve been shopping much less and try to switch to silk instead of polyester. Because it is much better for the environment, lasts longer and it is much breathable for this hot weather.

A few links to satin dresses: HERE / HERE / HERE / HERE / HERE

2. The straw bag

Straw bags will always be there and I like how brands have been creating mini straw bags which make any outfit cute. I linked a few in different shapes and sizes. HERE / HERE / HERE / HERE

3. The Flip-Flop with heels trend

The first time I saw girls with flip flops with mid heels, I thought to myself, “who would wear this?” But ever since some brands like Toteme and Dear Frances brought out their own version of these kinds of sandals, I totally fell in love. And I could even see myself rocking these sandals. Lastly, it looks awesome with casual / laid-back clothes – trust me! ? . HERE / HERE / HERE

4. The Tie Dye Trend

A 2000 trend that makes a big appearance. I still remember when I was a kid, I thought wearing a tie-dye T-shirt with the matching skirt was stylish. I know… very awful  ?! Especially the harsh colors like green red and yellow were very favored.

Now, the trend is everywhere but this time I would pair it with a neutral clothing piece. Here are few pieces that I would even wear HERE / HERE / HERE

5. Vinyl sandals or ‘barely there sandals’

Kim K has made the barely-there sandals very popular. But ever since Chanel came out with their Vinyl sandals every brand started introducing their own style to the masses. The funny thing about this is that those kinds of shoes were called ‘stripper shoes’ and I like them ??. HERE / HERE / HERE / HERE

6. Organza blouses

Organza blouses shout out high fashion and money. The transparent blouse  looks awesomely paired with elegant pants or a silk skirt. Lastly, you can wear it as a vest or even go braless if you are that brave! HERE / HERE / HERE

7. Low kitten heels

Low kitten heels have a comfortable heel height and make your feet look sexy. The brand By Far makes a lot of beautiful mules and strappy heels with a low heel. I bought a mule from them, and they’re really cute. Here are some of their  shoes HERE / HERE / HERE

8. Colorful bucket hats 

Who said bucket hats are boring? Nowadays, they come in interesting prints or colors. And they are a cute accessory for the beach. Furthermore, you are protecting your hair from the sun and avoiding a headache. HERE / HERE / HERE / HERE

9. Shell jewelry 

Shell jewelry are so trendy right now!! I see girls rocking beautiful necklaces and earrings. And, I love me some white shell anklets ?!! The shells come in different shapes & colors. I think,  you’ll  find something that you like! 🙂 HERE / HERE / HERE / HERE

Hey peeps!

This is my first spring/summer lookbook. These are a few of my favorite spring outfits that I wore a few weeks ago. Also, these are clothing pieces that I like to wear over and over. It is a mix of minimalism, animal and checked prints . In the warmer months, I prefer to wear light pants, dresses and skirts.

Now let’s move on to look no. 1

This first look is monochromatic because I only focused on black and white colors. It features a pair of black shorts and a horizontally striped shirt. By the way, long shorts are very on trend and can be paired with a blazer, a simple shirt, sneakers or sandals .. you see, almost everything 😉 I finished the look off with my black shoulder bag and squared gold necklaces. Oh, how can we forget my white strappy sandals? These are the infamous Zara sandals that are everywhere on the internet right now. They have a midi height and are surprisingly comfortable.

Look no. 2

I can see myself rocking this outfit until I die. It might be basic to you but I feel the comfiest in this. Furthermore, these are clothes I like to wear if I want to hang out in the city or drink a coffee.

I’ve been living in this blouse (another striped top xD)  and the great thing about it is that it goes with everything and can elevate anything immediately! I paired my blouse with these beige colored pants. What I adore about these kinds of pants is the material because it is casual and made of linen. Which you can wear in the warmer season without feeling sweaty and uncomfortable. Moreover, I wore a pair of Hermes Oran looking sandals but these ones are by Dune and cost much less and are of great quality! Finally, my Burberry bag made an appearance and completed the whole outfit.

Look no. 3

is the last one in this episode and has a more hot summer vibe. This look features another blouse that I styled with a silk skirt that has animal prints. I wrote about animal prints a while ago if you fancy a quick read :-). This skirt is a statement piece because of the print. Therefore it can make your entire outfit look put together and kind of exciting?!

Lastly, I wore brown strappy sandals which go well with many colors in my wardrobe. Also, the sandals are so comfy and I can walk in them all day due to the low heel.
