Sequins into Spring

Who said sequins were only for the holidays? Truth is, I once did. But now fashion is all about breaking (or bending) rules, and wearing sequins all-year round is one way to do so. If if a gold sequin top can be glamorous when paired with a black skirt or embroidered shorts with tights, it can also be dressed down for a rocker look. Worn with distressed boyfriend jeans, a leather jacker and sneakers, it can even become a casual daytime outfit! Be sure to choose your top oversized, since sequins are often sewn on stiff, non-stretchy fabrics!

My top is loose-fitting, so I'm free to swirl around as much as I can! I can also run around if my puppy Zia gets in trouble!

Plaid Guilty

I have been browsing around pinterest for a while and I must admit I'm really into the 90's/grunge revival trend. Maybe it's because I was just a little too young to try it myself back then, but still admired the teenagers who were so cool with their plaid shirts, chuck taylors and yin yang necklaces.

Some looks are a little too much for me (but this girl still pulls it off):

Going all the way to ripped tights would be way too far from my style and when following a trend, you don't want to look like you're wearing a costume... which can happen with edgier styles like grunge. I decided to follow the trend in a softer manner.  There's something rebellious about grunge so we tried to give a transgression feel to this photoshoot. Enjoy!
