          Spring is finally here!!! Well, at least the much-awaited Spring Break is here. :)

Some of my friends and I headed to Austin last weekend for some spring-break/birthday-celebration mash up (since you know.... when you are too busy to do anything, try killing two birds with one stone!). Anyways, we planned a two-day trip to Austin, hoping to catch the tail end of the South-by-South West Festival (SXSW). Austin is around four-hour drive from Dallas, so after we reached our hotel at Austin, we quickly freshened up and changed to go Kayaking. The weather was so wonderful and we had such a lovely time (Details below). By one hour, we all were exhausted and famished. 

          We drove to Oasis, Austin (30 mins drive) to grab some meal before heading out to the festival. The sunset was amazing and the colors were magnificent; the way each sunray hit the lake just before the water swallowed it. It reminded me of what exactly Peeta was referring to, when he explained Katniss his favorite color (the Hunger Games series, if you know what I mean..Cheers!).

Sweater Weather

              Wintertime is the quintessential time for wearing slouchy sweaters, and what better way to step up the game but by wearing it in white. The white brightens up the whole look yet keeping the look very casual. This pair of jeans is a hand me down from my cousin, although it was a size or two bigger than me. Since the jeans were so worn-in and comfortable it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.  I have been wearing these jeans as a 'boyfriend' jeans; I also roll it up at the bottom, making the jeans look more fitted. Lastly, in order to make this look more feminine; I decided to paired it up with these heels (which honestly goes along with everything I wear!). Since I was going out, and it had started to get dark, I decided to throw on a coat, just in case it gets chilly. :)

           Weather is slowly getting warmer now, I am so excited for spring time. Whether you are spending time with family, going out with your friends, or spending a quality ME time; I hope everyone has a great spring break. :)

Show Some Skin

       

         Last week was so beautiful (it was sunny and warm), if you don't count the last day of the week (when we had freezing icy rain!). Dallas has been suffering bi-polar weather, the day I shot these pictures, the temperature was in 80s and the very next day it was in 20s! Thankfully spring is just around the corner.
        The main focus here is the dress, a little black dress with a twist. The silhouette of the dress is very simple but the cut out gives the illusion that I am wearing two different pieces (a crop top and a skirt). The dress shows just some amount of skin, perfect for dressing it up and down (like so...). Versatility is the key here, there are more ways to wear this dress.

Stay warm

Midi Mania

            So... lately I have been obsessed with one particular trend that seems to have hit me a bit to hard, midi skirts. I have been eyeing this 50’s chic trend for quite a while but was not sure that it would compliment my petite figure and I would just end up looking frumpy (which I absolutely don't want). 

            Topshop has recently come up with amazing high waisted midi skirts and matching crop tops (which can be purchased separately). I have recently come across many fashion bloggers who have adorn them in such a beautiful manner that I decided to jump in the bandwagon too. But unfortunately the Topshop range is way over my budget, and I am not sure if I am willing to invest so much on an item that may or may not suit me. (Many people fail to separate the fact that, what they love on others may not look as good on you and vive versa.)

            Since then I have been looking around for a cheaper alternative to this midi trend. I found a maxi skirt I already owned and worn quite a few times. Instead of wearing it on the waist, I wore it like tube dress and synched it on the waist with a skinny belt. Then I wore my all time favorite cardigan for this winter, (which amazingly goes with every outfit,of every color and also manages to make me look good every-time!) as a top, tucked it inside the belt and pulled out the rest carefully hiding the belt. I kept the accessories simple, just a watch, gold chain necklace and a clutch. 

            I am amazed that the outfit came together so well. Thankfully I could capture the outfit just in time before the beautiful sunset (reason for the changes in colors in each shot!).

Love,
