A DAY OF MY LIFE - YELLOW WITH CREAM TONES

On that day, I taught my usual yoga lesson; My eyes are bit tired; dark shadows visible and so are late nights. Ok, Ermine, get yourself together. The blog needs update. Let’s do it.

The yellow coat adds an extra shine to the otherwise awfully grey morning. I wore two cream cardigan to give my body extra heat and I am still wearing the t-shirt that I wore from my yoga lesson. Sweaty!

The printed cotton pants is a winter purchase but I will definitely rock it throughout the summer.

I am wearing some malas too. After all, I have just taught a yoga lesson reciting all the ohm mantras. To be fair, malas on my wrist is an everyday style for me anyways. You know me, the wrists just can’t be empty. The merrier, the better.

Finally, a gold touch on my feet to keep me shining throughout the day. I was wearing

FLOWERS AND ROMANCE - SORBET COLOURS IN THE WOODS

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love while

            romance is the glamour which turns into dust  of everyday life into golden haze. 

This shoot was done on Valentine’s Day but it was purely coincidence. I wanted to draw the line between flowers and romance, like drawing the line between love and hate, but I guess these two are completely different. That aside, flowers are given as romantic gestures, if you were to be given red roses to a loved one, it is projected as loving this person or just saying “I love You”. When you buy flowers for yourself I guess it just means you love having flowers in your home… I certainly do. I am obsessed with it’s beauty.

I would not say I was romantic, but I like the atmospheric of going out to dinner at a restaurant, when the lights are low and soft with beautifully played music in the background.

What is romance? Romance is showing that you care, but do you need a special occasion to show or do something romantic? There are intrinsic romance e.g. things that are inherently romantic like hearts. Red is romantic, it’s been associated with love and passion. Chocolates are not only romantic, they are complementary.

Back to flowers and romance. Flowers are gorgeous and if you look deeply into them, they are amazing and mesmerizing.  I love freshly cut flowers and I can just photograph them all the time, it is like looking into their soul. Flowers and Romance, they do go hand in hand as both intriguing and endangered: roses enfold and blossom, then dissipate. Romance unfolds blossom but you need to work to keep it alive.

I wore soft gentle tones for this shoot. Red on the Valentines, to me, is too cliche, but it’s very personal. I can’t wait to hear your Valentine stories and share ideas on outfits and romantic attires!

SWING WITH LIFE - SPLASH ON COLOUR

Sometimes all you need is a splash of colour

xo

Sun is out, so why not be outside! It is winter after all so cozy up, enjoy, and embrace the sunshine since the days are so short.

The dress I am wearing is a wool mix with angora. I did forget that angora against my skin is not a happy medium. I knew that when I first bought it but that I was able to disguise that sometime every now again prick feeling. The trick is to wear a long sleeves long undress like a soft cotton t-shirt to prevent this. Great thing is, I do not have to wear it everyday.

I added layers of dainty chains to brighten the front and to give the dress a bit of a personality. Added the purple meets maroon tights, to up light the cream dress. It is always good to add some colour, even a shade that you will not dare to try. Go on and try it, it might just lighten up your mood and put a spring in your step. Go on and surprise yourself, if adding vibrant colours are to daring, start by wearing a piece of jewelery. 

The key to adding colour to a bland item of clothing is that the total combine pieces of clothing has to synchronize, like your shoes with your bag, or your lipstick with your earrings etc.  

The shade of blue within the scarf gives the black coat a fresh feeling. The scarf works well and the shade of purple in the beanie comes back into the tights. The coat is simple, elegant, and full of movement. The boots gives the outfit that edgy look. 

To me this outfit is playful, simple, chic, feminine and edgy. I like adding different elements to my outfits since I think it compliments my personality.  Forgot to steam my sweater. (lol)
