my muse // all black everything

my favorite color: black

why, some ask?

because it goes through every season.

slims any silhouette.

easy to coordinate with different pieces.

 here is a variety of pieces from jewelry to shoes, 

and an outfit styled with layers of 

of blacks + grays to break up the pieces.

my muse // simple angles

triangles are a sacred shape.

 they aren't romantic like circles, or ordinary like squares. 

they are simple and sharp. 

these simple angles are my muse/

the highlight: 

i have found this black onyx ring, 

and yes it may be $325, 

but it looks well worth every penny. 

It has a dark, yet elegant style. 

It is said to be a reflection of grief and stress,

which we can relate to at some point/

my muses range from pure happiness, 

pure schizophrenia and pure relationships//

fashion friday // swift, taylor

style of the week // neutrals

issue 002 // fall 2014

sample piece // i really love my...

sample piece of a mag spread. 

kind of like a copy-cat of something you'd see in 

style watch, elle, or instyle. 

from font inspiration to placement 

of the text + picture. 

this fall i am OBSESSED with chunky scarves.
From thick knits to textured cloth. 
i am in love with the way it adds color + creativity 
to every outfit for easy, layered looks.
