How to: Style a skirt


I’ve had a very committed relationship with skirts for the past two summers and I have found my three favourite ways to style them! I will be showing you the three looks with my favourite skirt of all times.



The first look is a plain v neck t-shirt tucked into the skirt. When choosing the t-shirt to wear with the skirt make sure the two colors don’t clash or that they aren’t too matchy-matchy. I paired this blue toned skirt with a dark grey top but I would usually go for a lighter grey v-neck (I just couldn’t find mine anywhere, woops). Accessories are a must when you are going to wear something on the simple side but you still want to look put-together. I am accessorising with a feather necklace with a red center to add a bit of color as well as two neutral bracelets, some sunglasses (make sure to always protect your eyes!), and white earrings. I would usually wear this with some black flats or sandals.



The second and third looks are using all the same accessories and just changing the top, you can do this to change the look from day to night without having to carry a lot of pieces around with you. The second look is using a white tank top tucked into the skirt. I think that this is the most elegant look from the three and you can get away with wearing to more formal occasions. You can also pair this with some black heals and be ready to go! The third look is the most casual of the three and by far the most edgy. I am using this t-shirt that I got at New York and that I cut off the neckline and the bottom to make it a crop top. You could remove some of the jewelry for this look and could easily pair it with some white converse for the more comfortable and rocker look.  Hope this helped! If I didn’t mention from where they are from it is because I have no clue where I got it J

NYC in a New York color minute (Quick dry nail polish)


The polish most to the left is Matte Me Crazy, a mattifying topcoat (review), the one to its right is Greenwich Village, a matte true pink color, the one to its right is Spring Street, a matte orange-coral color, and the last one to the right is Moma, a  matte purple-plum color. I am completely in love with the formula of these nail polishes; they are creamy, opaque and of course dry super quickly! I have only used Spring Street, Greenwich Village and Matte me Crazy and I can truly recommend them. Another plus is that they are inexpensive and they do last a few days on your nails without chipping, especially if you put a topcoat over them. I apply two thin coats of the polish to get a completely opaque look, but you could totally get away with just one coat :). Hope this helped!

Matte Nail polish (NYC Matte Me Crazy)

Matte nails are gorgeous, there is no denying that but I was quite confused for a while on how to achieve the very glam look. It is way simpler than it seems! All it takes is a bottle of mattifying topcoat. The only one I have tried is the NYC Matte Me Crazy (Gotta love that name :P) and I absolutely love it! I apply my nail polish as normal and just apply one coat of the topcoat and it makes the nail polish matte in just a few seconds. I would totally recommend this to anyone. Another plus of the topcoat is that it does make my nail polish last quite a while. Hope this helped!
