Flower Power: Florals from Head to Toe

Spring is just around the corner; it's time to enjoy the sun, the warmer weather, and the cute outfits!

I actually flew back to Paris for a few days to visit the family. Even though it was a very short amount of time (4 days), I was able to pick up some pieces at the mall next to my house. I found an amazing blue summer dress with floral prints, and a pair of shoes that resemble those from Converse, but with a cute feminine twist. Now I am not exactly a short dress/skirt person, I like length: maxi dresses/skirts, jeans, etc., you know...them African thighs!! But for once, the weather was extra nice in SF, so I thought I'd make an exception and show a little bit of leg! I fell in love in the flower details and thought they gave a bit of a 90's feel to the dress, without making it too cheesy. What do you guys think?

I am thrilled I spotted those. I always wanted simple white shoes like white Converse shoes. But the floral details on this pair prove that one can be simple yet unique. The only thing I am a bit concerned about is getting them stained. Other then that, I think white shoes are gorgeous for the spring and the summer.

I do hope this little OOTD post will inspire you. Florals are not going anywhere this season. Enjoy!

Forever21 21 Days of Layers Inspired Look: Long Live the Cardigan!

Gotta love the Californian weather. Coming from France, I was pretty happy to see that it wasn't that cold here in San Francisco. Even in Fall!

This Indian summer weather is just perfect for me, as I often get cold in the upper part of my body, like my shoulders or my neck, while my legs always enjoy a bit of freshness.

If you're weird like that too, the combination Summer dress - Cardigan is perfect for the first days of Fall. Yep, layering is hands down my favorite Fashion trend this season: as it is always nice and sunny despite the cool wind, I can wear one of my favorite summer dresses and give a bit of texture to my outfit with a nice cotton cardigan and a jacket, thick enough to make up for the nakedness of my legs.

I was on my way to school, so I don't wear anything fancy because I am L-A-Z-Y; I like to be comfortable and casual. But if I was going downtown or on a date, I would substitute my flats with nice brown boots and a cute matching purse.

Back to the roots: The African Shop !!

Hi guys!

We've been seeing a lot of new trends on the catwalks lately, and the "African print" was definitely one of them. As a certified trend-follower, I had to find me some goodies, and even though it is fairly easy for the jewelry, it is definitely harder to find nice pieces of clothing for an affordable price here in the US.

After my fastidious search, I finally found this Facebook page featuring "The African Shop". I have visited their website; the styles and colors are gorgeous. Plus some of their items are from Senegal (my home country), yay! I have yet to find out what else they offer. Definitely something to try!

End of summer favorites: bold stripes and a touch of color

Hello everyone!

So I went on a little trip to San Jose, and I just thought I would show you my today's outfit.

This dress is one of my favorites from this summer, and I wanted to rock it one last time before the cold hit. But I wasn't courageous enough and took a little jumper with me, just in case (I get cold veeery easily). I don't usually go for knitwear a lot, but I literally fell in love with this cute cropped burgundy jumper, super comfy and light, perfect for Fall.

I hope you like this look, xx
