Style Diary: My GYPSY HEART

My heart is a gypsy - searching for a home, fighting within itself, wondering whether it is weak, or even right for that matter to be searching the first place. Loneliness is what it feels like...

Today was a great day! I was feeling gypsy vibes from the second I woke up this morning. And might I add, I woke up naturally, without any alarms - a very unusual occurrence for me. I was in a great mood. I am in a great mood still. I don't know when I started believing this, but for a while now, I've believed that I was a gypsy in a past life. Yes I do believe that our souls live many lives. I'm Catholic, but not religious. I am spiritual.

And within my many spiritual beliefs - I believe in Tarot. I  had been getting my tarot fix from various sites, until I got myself a tarot deck a few months ago. And let me tell you, I have done plenty readings since then. For me, tarot is a symbolism - there is no need for language or any other signs. The cards do influence me - they influence me to stop clamping down on parts of myself and give them room to speak, so that I can make an integrated, more whole choice without denying important aspects of my own role in that choice


The cards guide.
They are not our masters.



The card I chose to use in this post is: The WHEEL of FORTUNE.

A while ago this card came up in a reading - I knew it was good. The Wheel of Fortune represents the unifying aspects of the psyche; the unconscious and conscious have converged. And that is exactly how I feel. I have wanted my career to move in a certain direction, & it finally is.

MONOCHROME MONDAY

YAY so even with it being a super crazee - busy day at the office, I still looked great and managed to put together a few little suprises for my fashion friends out there. Well, I have stunning new thigh-high riding boots from Luella and I am simply dying over them. Literally!!!


I am actually really enjoying having to put together these Black & White looks. I find myself shopping with it in mind which is pretty cool. Anyway, last week's monochrome look was very dressy, and fun with the patterned dress and sky-scraper heels, so today I thought I'd go for a really casual look. You like?

A girl's allowed to change her mind...

My new project: Black and White Monday has had a slight change. For the better of course. The name of the projerct has changed to Monochrome Monday. Sounds a lot better right?

Now why didn't I think of that before :) lol. The classic monochrome look simply oozes minimalism. Something I am not really used to embracing, but I am still excited for this project.

A few tips, if you decide to do your own Monochrome Monday:

- Any prints in black&white should be simple
- Colour blocking is great
- Don't be shy to find your masculine side by adding a great blazer ( Androgynous accents are fab!! )
