My Favorite Looks

__________________________________

I like how the cowl is draped over the wide gold belt.

The print blocking is appealing in this silhouette. 

This look has the sash tied and draped over a wide belt;

so chic with the slenderizing silhouette.  

Nice print mixing in the look! I luv the 

cowl neckline, the tied waistline, and the 

wrapped skirt.

The silver beads along the cowl are great, so cute; 

it gives this look a touch of ethnic glamour!

I really like this silhouette; the high, round neckline and 

below-the-hip length paired with gaucho pants. 

The sandals go well with the look 

and are extra cute!

Long Sleeve Blouse | Wide Belt | Cropped Pant

The first look has great colors: blue, gold, & red.

In the second look I like the pairing off large earrings

with a wide neckline top.

Once again, draped top hanging over a wide belt: cute! 

The colors are great: silver sparkle, peach, silver, & orange

This is a little unexpected; silver iridescent top

and a yellow midi skirt. This ruffle wrap skirt I really like. 

The styling of it is so unique; one ruffle draped over the belt. 

The decorative silver beading compliments 

the silverly tone of the top. 

Draped Tunic | Cropped Pant

Luv this draped top look! So exotic & ethnic inspired!

These looks remind me of the Indian salwar kameez.

The embellishments on both of these pieces are nice.

Both looks have the beaded neckline that I like throughout

the collection. In the first look the cowl is draped over the

blazer (cute). The color blocking is nice. The second look

has that ethnic flair, I luv.

Favorite Pieces

-

What I like most about the pieces in these looks is, of course,

the embellished necklines!

Polka Dots & Shiny Spots! - I like a lot...

Cute top with matching pants.

This is a simple belted top in a nice fabric;

very wearable.

The flutter sleeves on the jumpsuit 

are eye-catching!

The knotted front is in just the 

right spot.

What I like is that this is

asymmetrical with a twist;

fabric is draped over the 

other shoulder.

My Favorite Looks

_____________________________

These embellished looks are beautiful. The first look has beautiful 

draping and gold and white are a classically gorgeous pairing. 

The second look has the trendy crop top in lace and the 

maxi skirt has the nice embellished waistline. The pink dress 

really reminds me of the draping of a sari. Its so pretty!

        Blue & Gold | Purple & Gold 

Beautiful Colors!

The asymmetric lines are great; it compliments the high-low hemline, 

which is so popular in fashion right now. 

The fabric and the draping: beautiful.

The draping in the first look is interesting and pink & orange

are nice together. The second look has nice asymmetric lines.

The pink color is gorgeous with the sheen of the fabric.

The sheer fabric over lace looks great. What I like about the first 

look is that its asymmetric but it still covers the other shoulder. 

Sheer fabric over lace again! The embellished 

neckline is beautiful.

Gold & Orange

I really like this one because of the  necklace.

This blue hue is so pretty. The sheer mid-section

looks nice with the wide, square-ish neckline.

This is such a cute high-low top and skirt pairing.

What I really like about the pieces are the sparkly

gold trim along the hemlines.

Looks I Found Visually Appealing

Other Looks that Made this Collection Great!

I still like the tunic and pant style.

I like the deep purple color in the first look and the

softer lavender, bronze, and silver colors of the top.

The skirt in the second look has a nice border along

the hemline.

Purple & Gold | Red & Gold

The gold trim really highlights the ruffled hemlines.

Gold & Blue

The gold trim is lovely and so is the 

asymmetric high-low hemline.

These are such costumes pieces! 

It shows the fringe trend!

The accented hemlines are so South Asian influenced.

The colors are great together: Gold&White | Red&White.

Orange & Gold

~~~~~

This collection is clearly influenced by traditional Indian attire.

This is what I luv about this collection.

My Favorite Looks 
_______________________________________

What I like about these looks are the lines that the belt and 

purse straps create; it adds to this simple garments.

The black, gold, and orange are a great color combination,

as well as black, gold, and beige. 

These lace inset pants are great! They're different and appealing!

I like the tops from these looks too. Crop tops are really trendy

 and I personally like this collared shirt style. The studded  

purse straps gives these looks visual interest. 

I've seen lace inset shorts online both in retail and diys, so these 

appealed to me because of popularity. I like this lace edged

crop top, it has that collar style I like. This lace inset blazer is 

different! It draws attention to the waist line and hips. I feel

like it is giving the illusion of a more shapely figure. 

I just really like this dress! Its a nice orange color, has flowy 

bell sleeves, and doesn't have an annoying too low neckline.

I'd wear this as a tunic with jeans or leggings though (too

short for me). The silver belt turns this dress into a standout 

piece. The shiny shimmer of the fringe compliments the 

orange tints. 

Shiny, silver fringe necklaces? LUV IT! Once again, simple pieces

transformed by accessories. The colors pop with the compliment of

the silver shimmers of the necklaces.   

In the look to the left the necklace and belt creates a shiny,

fringe dress. (I imagine that these  would have to be detachable 

items, because how would you wash it?) In the look to the right

I like the cold-shoulder sleeves.

Theses dresses look great with the stud strap accents and the fringe belts. I really 

like the dress to the right; the cut out sides are now. 

These dresses look like what the most work was put into. All 

those studs have to be applied by hand. Gold and blue are

beautiful colors together.

I just like the colors of these dresses with the shiny fringe.

Orange | Pink

Whats so great about this collection are the accessories. The

belts, the purses, and the necklaces. These items really made

this collection shine, literally (shiny fringe & studs)!

Wallet Body

marked the measurement with a pencil, and then 

cut the tape. Repeat three times to make 4 strips.

same way that I cut the denim tape.

Repeat three times to make 4 strips.

Then I folded the denim tape over the gold tape.
I folded the top untrimmed denim tape over the gold tape,
but cut it leaving the extra tape untapped.

Step One c: fold denim tape

LOOKS

Hi-Lo Tops and Tank Dress

Whats great about these looks is that it takes a basic article 

of clothing [tank dress] and transforms it into a cute look!

The tank dress acts as a camisole and a skirt!

This is something I'd possibly wear!

HAIRSTYLE

This was an experimental hairstyle.

I wanted to create that mock braided headband look, 

so I flat twisted my hair into these sections and made

two individual braids that I secured with  hair pins.

I then put the rest of my hair up into a small bun.

This simple style turned out pretty cute -and different!

Inspired by my Hair Inspiration pins.
