Summer Accents & Blog identity :P

Bonjour!!!!
Coma stai? ( thats french for Hello, and italian for How are you? lol)

Now that I gave you a simple language lesson, lol...let me move on.
I am a lady who is very simplistic when it comes to actual clothing or pieces of clothing. I am an accessories girl 100% more than I am a, "thats such a cute blouse!", or, "those jeans are to DIE for! ", kind of gal. Not that there is anything wrong with that specific taste, I just prefer the little details that add to a nice fitting jean, or a well tailored blouse.

My inspiration for this summer is COLOR!!!!! I really prefer a solid-colored dress over a patterned one, and when I do wear a pattern I almost always choose a very mellow one so that I may at least incorporate 1 to 2 amazing accessories to accent my outfit.

I put together two sets on my polyvore set creator.One is casual for day, and one is more a summer's night out!!!!

I love them...some may not, but I feel like fashion is very individualistic, and you have to set the trend for yourself that make you feel best when wearing them. These sets have very high end accessories that I chose, but I like to get inspiration from pieces in which I can't always afford. I can go out and find pieces that are very similar in my price point.

That is  always a helpful tip...if you can't always splurge on the higher collection items, feel lucky enough to have them as inspiration. This way you may pull together looks that you can budget into your wardrobe:D

The next tid bit I'd like to share is that since this is a new blog & you are getting acquainted...let it be known that I am an artist. I am finishing up my first solid collection of work, and will be showcasing it for the first time on this blog. I also write, and will be sharing some of my written pieces from time to time. I dedicate this blog to my passions for creativity: art, music, fashion, and writing.
