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.

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.

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 Trend 2017- Floral and Lace

Posted on April 28, 2017December 28, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

I LOVE FLORAL! It is one of those patterns that you can wear for 2 our of the 4 seasons, Spring and Summer. There’s also something about wearing floral that just makes you feel like you should be at a garden tea party.

This Friday I decided to pair this simple delicate white lace crochet top from Marshalls with a pink and blue ( complimentary colors) skirt that I found from Simons. With a pattern so bold you want to stay with a neutral or one block color top so the outfit is not overwhelming rather complimentary. I then added this outfit with nude pumps to keep the outfit clean and classy. AND Voilà!!!! You are ready for that tea party, start your week in style at the office or get that cute date.

Take Embroidery for a Night Out of Town

Posted on April 21, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

Embroidery is one of the most iconic and popular trends for Spring 2017. Though remember, it’s not about the trend, it’s about how you style it and make it your own.

This outfit is inspired by a few celebrities that brought this trend to light such as Kylie Jenner, Demi Rose and Iskra Lawrence. You can wear a black body suit and this sheer embroidery dress on top. If you want to change this night look into a day look, you can always add some skinny cut off jeans and statement flats or muhles with a bralette or keep the body suit. Remember it’s all about how you style it and make it your own rather than copying another fashionista’s style. Most importantly, feeling great and confident in what you are wearing.

Dress- Zara
Body Suit- Zara
Boots- Shoe Company
Hat- Forever 21

Spring Office Friendly OOTD- Pinks and Cheetah

Posted on April 18, 2017December 27, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

Who says you can’t be fashionable and bold without breaking the office attire code? What better way to do that then pairing pink, cheetah, and chinos. I decided to pair this silk fitted high neck blouse with these cotton chinos and a cheetah cross body bag which shows my style and personality. I always recommend every woman should invest in one of two statement bags that you can add to your outfit and really give it a complete finished look.

Just in case it gets chilly outside, I added a leather jacket with gold detailing that matches my cheetah cross body purse and simple beige pumps to keep this look polished enough fo the office.

Metallic Bomber

Posted on April 14, 2017December 28, 2018 by Shika President in Fashion, Home

Dress you metallic down with a pair of distress jeans and a basic black or white top. I added a lace top to add more texture.

Metallic is such a game changer when you add it to your wardrobe. I found this great metallic bomber and knew it had my name all over it. You can wear this bomber jacket over a dress, distress jeans and a t-shirt or dress slacks basic top and throw on that metallic statement piece to bring the whole look together. If you really want to look flawless, add a nice crossbody bag, a fedora hat and you are ready to look effortlessly stylish.

The detailing on the side with the pockets give this bomber a clean finished look. I’m excited to see what other looks will share with your guys using this metallic show stopper.
