High-Waisted Flared Jeans, A ’70s-Inspired Holiday Look
It would definitely be an understatement to say that I'm obsessed with this particular pair of high-waisted flared jeans from Free People. You might've noticed that I tend to oscillate between different styles and fashion decades with the '70s being a fashion era I regularly keep coming back to. You can always count on me to create a look that could easily be worn by the cast members of That '70s Show. (No lie, I have honestly always low-key wanted to be a part of it. While I was a music DJ at my radio station in college, my friend and I would always joke that my DJ name should be "Hot Donna," as an homage to the show. I so wish I did it, but hey, censorship, lol. She resorted to just giving me that nickname, which became an inside joke for the duration of our careless, glorious, radio days.)
Winter Styling Tips: What to Wear & How to Look Cute in Cold Weather
Looking for some winter styling tips? Look no further! Although, not my favorite season fashion-wise, there is still a way to make winter dressing seem less boring. Yes, it is possible to be warm and look cute in cold weather. All you really need is a few key pieces that are versatile and you're good to go. At first, my intention was to pair this Mystique Boutique sweater with a pair of houndstooth pants, but then I've decided that I might want to break up the monotony a little with this patent leather skirt from Zara. If you're opting for a head-to-toe black look, it is always fun to play with different textures.
Easy Holiday Outfit Idea: Gold Metallic Oversized Turtleneck
Here's an easy holiday outfit idea - a gold metallic oversized turtleneck to solve all your holiday outfit problems.

You just walk into the party looking like a giant ornament and trust me, you'll set the right mood. You don't go to a holiday party, you are the holiday party baby!

For an occasion that simply requires you to be extra, this oversized turtleneck guarantees that you won't go unnoticed wherever you show up.
How to Style a Faux Leather Mini Skirt
Hello there! It has certainly been a while but I'm back baby! This time I'm showing you my way of styling the faux leather mini skirt. But before we go any further - let me tell you that this return is accompanied by a minor serendipitous life plot twist. Nina 2.0 comes back at ya with a whole new attitude and whole new stylistic direction in tow. (The transformative Scorpio water runs deep, you know what I mean? Scorpio season, who's with me? It has been tough...) As we're all going through a transformation of consciousness, there is no way that something about us won't change outwards as well. And you know what? Change is definitely a good thing. You might say I'm addicted to it. If I'm not changing consciously or in some other shape or form, I feel like I'm pretty much stuck in life. And that doesn't vibe well with me. Of course, naturally, I only hope to change for the better. Hmm...I don't really know where all of this is coming from, but I just feel the need to put it out there. Well...if you're bored with my intro you're in luck! I'm finally moving on to the outfit.
Vinyl Street Style: H&M Faux Patent Leather Pants
While attending the New York Fashion Week, I've noticed that influencers and trendsetters tend to gravitate a lot towards vinyl thus creating a whole vinyl street style movement. Apart from checked blazers and coats - Vinyl or PVC or however you want to call it...is all the rage now. The whole "checked trend" didn't rub off on me, but I've become quite obsessed with vinyl. I always need everything vinyl, I keep buying vinyl, somebody needs to stop me. What can I say...there is just something powerful and empowering about the whole vinyl look. An added bonus is that it hugs you perfectly in all the right places. If you know what I mean. *wink, wink*
Vinyl Bodycon Dress, A Love Story
The vinyl bodycon dress a.k.a the perfect body glove. Something, I've actually realized that as I'm writing this. I usually don't wear bodycon dresses, but this vinyl number is just so flattering. Funny enough, a few years ago I would probably cringe at the sight of vinyl as this particular material was something that I would never naturally gravitate towards. It's a nature vs. nurture thing and in my case, the two aligned. Well... until recently. Growing up my mom taught me how to recognize different materials by touch. "Touch - this is what 100% cotton, this is what 100% wool and this is what 100% cashmere feels like." Some materials were just a logical choice and shall I say - a standard. Over time, I got so good at this "little game" that now I can actually "feel my way" to the right piece of clothing in my closet, with the light turned off. True story. But really - let's focus on vinyl again...
Book Review: ‘The Nocturnal Journal’ by Lee Crutchley
It used to be the monsters under your bed, now they turned into the thoughts in your head. Since childhood, we have been struggling to sleep well. There was always that paralyzing thought of that monster that's going to pull you under the bed. Or that suspicious shadow or ghost that might be creeping around while you're trying to fall asleep.

The Perfect Summer Dress and the Cutest Straw Boater Hat
I think I might've found the perfect summer dress. But before I get into that - what on earth is happening right now? Does everyone else feel like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders? Because, wow! Call it the Mercury Retrograde effect, call it the Solar Eclipse effect, but s**t has really hit the fan. Am I right? Been dreaming of balance. Still dreaming about happy outcomes in all sectors of life. But all I've been getting lately is consolation prizes, worry, and insomnia. Can a girl get a break? Gosh!
Yogi Look: One Tribe Apparel Women’s Harem Pants
TheseOne Tribe Apparel women's harem pants are every yogi's dream. This bohemian fashion brand brings the vibrant patterns and handmade craftsmanship of Thai boho fashion back to the west while embracing the spirit of culture and community in everything they do. Lightweight, breathable and oh so chic, these pants have been turning heads in my yoga class. They're 100% cotton and 100% produced in Thailand. After I went through a challenging yoga class in these beauties, no other "yoga pants" will do. I'm sorry. Plus, this peacock coral and pink print is just so stunning to look at.
