OOTD- Cut-Out White Floral Dress

Posted on June 2, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

Floral is a given when it comes to spring and summer fashion. When in doubt you can honestly just wear a floral dress and you are ready for the catwalk.

This look I decided to choose this white cut out dress from Forever 21. I love the blue and pink flowers. This looks amazing aginst the white canvas. I also like the length as it is not too short and still gives a sexy feel with the backless feature and the cut outs.

I then decided to add my silver loafers from Just Fab. It brought an edgy feel to it ( you know how I like my edgy and girly/chic vibes). An alternative would be to add it with neutral gladiator sandals or Pink fushia heels that will match perfectly with the pink detailing on the dress. Of course with no surprise, I added the Call it Spring rose gold sunglasses.

You can easily wear this look for a picnic or while having a couple drinks on the patio with your friends.

OOTD- Delicate Lace and Peach Pleated “Skirt”

Posted on May 30, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

This outfit is all about being fun, flirty and girly. I love lace because it gives a sense of elegance and grace to any outfit while bright vibrant colors give a sense of fun, flirtiness, and joy to the overall outfit.

I decided to start with the famous scallop lace 3/4 top from Marshalls. Can I just say the detailing on this top is phenomenal! It is so intricate and well designed. The top gives a garden tea party vibe to it which is perfect for day to day errands to a gathering with the girls on a Saturday morning over brunch a mimosas. I then brought this fun BCBG peach chiffon skirt that I bought a couple years ago. The pleating is definitely a style this spring and going into the summer. This is one of those it looks like a skirt but theiy are shorts type of shorts. Lastly, I added my Call it Spring Sunglasses (surprise?) and my gold and white sandals from Aldos that I bought a million years ago.

There you have it! You are ready to go to a garden party with the queen, really. What would you guys wear to a garden party?

Sunflower Child

Posted on May 26, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

Every woman/girl has a mellow sunflower spirit in them. I decided to show mine in the art of fashion. This sunflower outfit shows a fun care free woman finding herself in the flowers that surrounds her.

She wears an off the shoulder blue pinstripe top with puffy sleeves from Marshalls. She then wears a white denim skirt that is both fashionably chic and carefree with the ridged cut off denim detailing at the bottom of the skirt still giving that ‘carefree’ vibe. Shoes? This outfit has none, just the shoes you are born with. What better way to complete this hippy outfit with the natural touch of bare feet. However, a great alternative would be white gladiator sandals ( there are a few at Just Fab, Aldo and Call it Spring). I then added my staple rose gold sunglasses from Spring

There you have it! You have completed your flower child outfit. I really enjoy creating a story behind some of my looks. It just makes it that much more exciting when you wear an outfit. Remember to keep you sunflower child spirit burning.

Spring OOTD- Sunday Best

Posted on May 19, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

Sometimes I will say a Sunday best outfit does make me feel like I am Audrey Hepburn. All I am missing is some tea, scones and some girlfriends to chat with on a lovely Sunday spring morning.

I decided that for this fun look I had to add this tulle skirt from Simons. The gliter skirt screams Spring. I then added this high neck black body suit from Zara along with another vintage piece from my mom’s closet, beige blazer. With the different textures, the chiffon sleeves and the soft silk like cotton for the rest of the bodysuit gives the outfit more dimension while complimenting the girly fun tulle skirt. I then added the cute clutch from Forever 21 to give this outfit a bit of spice. What better way to add spice to an outfit than with the color red.

For the shoes, I kept my staple Just Fab nude heels and added the Call it Spring rose gold sunglasses that plays as a nude in this outfit as the colors are either dark or bright and bold like the red satchel bag.

There you have it! Another great outfit brought to you by this chicas. You can wear this for tea with the girls, night out at a nice Parisian restaurant or to a theater show ( why not be the show as well 😉 ).

Spring OOTD- Green Floral Jacket

Posted on May 16, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

The best part about spring is being able to layer on jackets and duster coats with the weather being not to warm and not too cold. I have had this vintage jacket in my closet for a couple years now waiting to style it. It is a vintage piece brought to you by my mom. One of the best parts about adding vintage to your wardrobe, it forces you to be more creative and think outside the box of mainstream fashion.

I decided to pair this bold green floral jacket with a textured cream blouse from Aritzia. The color is neutral enough to allow the coat to still be the show of the outfit, however, adds more detail and eye appealing depth to the overall outfit. I then added a white denim skirt that I bought ages ago from dynamite. I am pretty sure I saw the exact on in H &M as well. For shoes, does anyone know what I paired them with? My nude Just Fab heels? Suprised? probably not but this just goes to show that you want to find a piece you can wear with literally everything in your closet. Versatility is key my loves. Lastly, I added my Kate Spade purse that compliments not only the shoes but the shade of this beautiful blouse as well. There you have it a cute outfit that is simple yet chic and creative.

Ottawa Tulip Festival Inspired OOTD

Posted on May 12, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

With Tulip Festival starting at the perfect time, Mothers Day weekend, what better way to celebrate than with a floral print to match their floral time of year. I decided to bring that fun crochet white top from Marshalls and pair it with these fun floral pants from River Island that I got a few years ago. Since the pants are the star of the show, you really want to play it down by adding a neutral color top and simple accessories. I added my usual Alex and Anni bracket and my Kate Spade bag that really never goes wrong (like honestly). Now you are ready to look at beautiful flowers, take cute pictures with your friends and find a cute place to eat after a day of flower hunting. Hope you enjoy this Mothers Day Weekend!!!

Embroidery Take Two- Casual Tuesdays

Posted on May 9, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

This top ismy staple for the spring and summer season. I decided to bring this great sheer embroidery top out of the closet but this time casual. I paired these ripped distress straight jeans from Guess with this top. To keep the top tasteful and feasible for the day time, I added this navy blue crop top from Dynamite. The blue color gives a great contrast against the black sheer top. I then added, yes you guessed it, my nude pumps from Just Fab because can you go wrong with nude heels? Now you are ready to walk the runway of life looking fierce and unstoppable.

Boho Festival Meet Chic

Posted on May 5, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

Any of you going to festivals this year? Maybe are thinking of going to one? Or you just really like the looks from Coachella and just want some boho in your life? This dress screams festival and with a great tailored jacket, it makes it chic as well.

Dress- Forever 21
Jacket- Simons

I decided to pair this crochet plunging floral dress from Forever 21 with this brown suede (how luxury right?) coat. I really like the floral boho theme especially with all the festivals around the corner however for someone who may want to wear this outfit to a girls night out, date or family and friends gathering adding the brown jacket really brings it together while adding the texture of suede as well. Also, the crochet in the front allow you to have the peak a boo effect without being too revealing

Spring 2017 OOTD- Seaside Blue Stripe Romper

Posted on May 2, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

I most definitely feel like a sailor with this outfit ( a fashionable one may I add). Stripes are definitely coming back in a sailor inspired feel as well as the office pin strip look. I decided to wear this simple stripe romper. The white tackle on the waist really accentuates my waist and the gold detailing on the end of the tackle is a great finishing touch. I then continued the metallic look by adding these Just Fab silver loafers. Lastly, you can never go wrong with a Kate Spade bag which compliments the silver shoes.

Great way to approach stripes especially during the festival season is by adding a seaside inspired strip in a dress or romper form. Very stylish and it will literally take you two seconds to decide at least half of your outfit.

OOTD- Beige and Pink Go Hand in Hand

Posted on April 25, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

It’s important to feel good inside and outside (of course) though sometimes we have those days where we would rather wear out pajamas for the day then waking up and strutting your runway of the day to day tasks in style. This outfit is effortless however stylish.

I started with the pink silk blouse to give the outfit a luxe and polished look. With the top being pink and off the shoulder, you are hitting two trends with one stone for the spring and summer season. I then added a pair of comfortable dress pants. the structure gives an office friendly feel to it while the cotton texture allows you to think that maybe you really didn’t take off those pajamas this morning. Lastly, the bag. I swear when I say accessories can change your whole perspective of what occasion, how much effort you have put in your outfit or how much effort it looks like you put on your outfit. I will be going into more detail as far as how accessories can change your fashion game to a whole new level, but for now, you are ready to hit the office or go on a cute lunch date with your girls or maybe even that cute guy you’ve been talking to for weeks.
