Black x White Stripes

Simple outfits are my go-to for everyday life, they are fail-proof and usually comfortable but they don't compromise style. This one is a perfect example of that, simple and comfortable but by adding the right accessories they elevate it to the level of chic and ya'll know I love the word chic! On a regular basis I just stick to black and white because it's so easy but you always look good in those colors no matter what, plus it looks good with my new hair color, don't you think?

On a side note, winter is really getting to me, I am longing for just a few degrees warmer so all I have to wear is a light sweater or a light jacket but for now I'll enjoy my new favorite faux fur coat I snagged in the ZARA sale. Oh and I am so obsessed with my new customized Adidas mi Superstar 80s that come with my initials and all, you can customize your own HERE.

Striped

Fall is here already, and although I love knee-high boot season, I will always prefer summer above anything else. But I no longer have eternal summers at my disposal (when in Miami), so I have to just let it go and embrace it. Luckily for me these past few days here in Frankfurt, have been my dream, sunny, yet crisp cool air kinda weather, it's how I wish all fall and winter was like. I have mentioned it time and again, I am a sun child, nothing makes me happier then seeing the sun, so these days I have truly been enjoying them even though I was nursing a cold for part of them. This past Sunday I was no longer going to let pj's, sniffles and the confinement of our apartment get the best of me, I needed fresh air, so I put on my Sunday best and went for a stroll with the bae.

Ruffled Denim

It's crazy how time can move so fast, concept of time for me has changed so much as an adult and I have to say, I have never felt more lost with time. What seemed like yesterday, in reality it was two months ago or worst a year ago. Life is for me is moving so quickly, I am having a difficult time adjusting to it, not in a negative way, more in the sense of organizing things better, like the blog. It's been hard lately to post as frequently as I would like to, because so many things are happening simultaneous, which creates distraction and I can easily get distracted. Hoping that I can get a better grip of things so that I can be more frequent here. Is this something that you go through? please tell me I am not the only one?

Tangerine Eyes

it's been a while, since I first saw you (lyrics from Stained), that is exactly the feeling I am having right now with you all. I have been eagerly waiting to have the time to shoot some outfit posts for you, something, something at least. This outfit post was a very casual one, as it was shot on my way to do some grocery shopping at the REWE [how I have been told it is pronounced is REH VAH] tried to find it on the web and it gave me different ways of pronouncing it so I guess lets just stay with mine for now, until I speak to a German and clarify the issue. Let me just say this quickly, the REWE is amazing, I am completely in love with this chain of supermarkets as it carries plenty of wonderful, yummy stuff that I am looking forward to try. It's a cross-over between a Publix (for my Floridians) and a Whole Foods. But I also have tons of local weekly markets around the area that sell tons of fresh foods and vegetables. OK enough with my market talk, I will give you a more in-depth story of how it has been in Frankfurt thus far possibly next week, so keep your eyes peeled for that. 

What do you think of my very bright and colorful floral pants? I sure brought Miami to Germany as most people here I have noticed dress in muted colors. I got a lot of stares wearing these, not sure if they were good or bad but I am going to assume they were all good...I want to believe I am influencing some people here (wink). Hope you enjoy this and you will be seeing more of me in coming weeks, stay with me, don't leave me (begging hands in place).
