Sunshine and sneakers…my paradise.

I am the chameleon of style. I go through so many fashion phases within such a short period of time, it could give you whiplash trying to keep up with me. Currently? I want to be a skater girl. I want to coast down Venice Beach on a longboard, rocking a snapback and distressed jeans. I want to be sponsored by Red Bull. I want to chill with Ryan Sheckler and show each other all our cool tricks. I want to shop at places like Tilly’s and wear brands like Neff.

Which is why I am currently obsessed with sneakers. I wear them with shorts, jeans, leggings, even my maxi dresses. They add the perfect touch of tomboy to any outfit. I’ve got the sneakers, but now I need to advance beyond sliding down the length of my driveway on my brother’s baby skateboard.

But instead of learning how to actually ride a skateboard, I styled outfits based on my sneakers. Thats close enough, right?

for the dreamers…

When it comes to style, for me, comfort is key. Even if I found the dress of my dreams at half-price and it was the last one of my size; if it feels like sandpaper, it isn’t going anywhere NEAR my body. And you would think, with the amount of people wearing Crocs and pyjama pants (umm…ew), that comfy chic clothing is hard to find. But that isn’t true in the slightest, otherwise I’d be walking around naked.

One of my absolute favourite brands is WILDFOX. It was born in LA, and represents classic LA fashion. Created by Emily Faulstich and Kimberly Gordon (in collaboration with Jimmy Sommers), they claim Wildfox is “for the dreamers, for the lovers, for skinny dippers, for barefoot explorers, for late night chocolate eaters; it is for anyone who believes in love and believes in themselves”.

I absolutely adore their clothing. Every piece has a cute and quirky graphic, fits like a dream, and feels like its made of clouds. The tees are perfect for throw and go style, when paired with your favourite denim (7 for all Mankind, anyone?!). But my absolute favourite style from Wildfox are the “Lennon Sweaters“!!

Cozy. Oversized. Detailed to the max. Beautifully knit. Luxe material. Perfect for leggings, or no pants at all (keep that for when you’re home alone). The Lennon is beyond adorable! One of my wardrobes staples, I want one for everyday of the week (halfway there…)!

My favourite print is the “Seeing Stars”, and obviously, a bunch of celebrities (Ashley Benson just wore it on Tuesday’s Pretty Little Liars, so you could say were BFFs) agree with me! Great minds think alike, what can I say?

And there you have it, the start of my style files.
