I can't begin to tell you why I have been apart from this blog. Work has, to sum it up, taken most of my time and fasting in the process doesn't help either. I have let work take away what I enjoy most. To be here, with you all, one outfit after another. Sure, I'm gaining plenty of experience in the publishing world. But I have to keep reminding myself what I enjoy most: styling. I'm a creative and I love to have time for it, don't like rushing things. With so many other things going on, it's time for a breather. I'm sorry I've been away for so long. Time has changed, but I haven't. Well, at least on this platform. It's good to be back.

Today's look is inspired by a good friend of mine. It's refreshing to see her in brighter colours and with a smile. She's my Black Rose of Highgarden, she tends to have a darker tone for her looks. I love her regardless, but love her even more because of her ability to break out of the mould. She won't agree with me but I love her in these kinds of looks as well as the sultry ones. It helps when you have a chic state of mind.
