Outfit me: More than a woman

Outfit me: More than a woman by qriius-apparel featuring lanvin jewelry

It takes a special kind of woman to wear a smile through out all her adversities....Are you that kind of woman? Confidence. style, class are all shown in this look, as we put together a great daytime look for any elegantly casual event. We love the fresh geo-print on this dress and just the right amount of gold accents give it our fav feature "edge"!  So what do you think?

Outfit me: Dainty Lady

Outfit me: Dainty Lady

Outfit me: Dainty Lady by qriius-apparel featuring lanvin


Being Lady like isn't just a term to describe ones values but plays a great deal in ones style. Fun flirty dresses with bold patterns are a great trend currently (and lets no forget the biggest trend of the use of black and white) , paired with some brightly colored jewelry and you've got yourself a great look for any elegantly casual occasion.

Str8 from the runway!- Akris Fall 2013 RTW Collection


It's that time of year again! The endless collections and designs are out on full display at the various runways, and they are showing us what's in store for the upcoming fall season. Now, though there isn't such a season in the Caribbean, we can still appreciate some of the collections that are offered to the world of fashion.

Today we look at Akris-  A company formed in Switzerland which began firstly constructing simple aprons, now they are worldwide brand known for some of the most sleek and sophisticated pieces.




We love this collection because it shows  that sexy isn't always about how much skin is revealed but sexy is the confidence one displays while being covered and in comfort. No doubt these pieces look wearable and practical, this is what truly makes the collection so interesting.



Black was the dominant color used in the collection as it was a homage to the passing of the designer's mother, however, this collection was far from 'in mourning'. I loved the use of those geometric crystal like patterns and the ways in which they were applied to conform to a woman's silhouette.


Another favorite was those funky cropped pant suits, which contained sheer inner pieces.  These suits scream glamour, high fashion and luxury but have the biggest element of cool! We are definitely going to see a couple celebs sporting these looks.


Another great look on this designer's runway were these sheer dresses that made used of horizontal lines and added to the imagination.

My final take on this collection was this was pure sophistication and it brought back the essence of great tailoring. These are definitely timeless pieces one can invest in.

Tis the season!- Carnival Style!


So it's Carnival season here in beautiful Trinidad And Tobago, and saying that it is HOT  here is an understatement. Carnival is one of the (if not most) anticipated seasons of the year here. People from all regions come over to participate in our parties, music and this fantastic culture.

In terms of the fashions..let's just say around this time of year everything gets a little more risky. Things are expected to be tighter, shorter, brighter and a whole lot more revealing and strangely that's all ok.  It is Carnival, literally a season where anything and everything is a go.

I must ask though when is too little too much? Well it seems that question isn't of too much concern at the moment. Too little is expected. We do however have the few that do stand out this season and still understand that it's not about skin but we can still keep style and class in the mix.


This time of year we will see any and every style there is, that's just the culture of Trinidad and Tobago this time of year. However, we do hope the ladies step up not only in the style but also the class levels, one should always maintain that line that you would/wouldn't cross, that all depends on you and knowing yourself (and also your body type).

As the season draws almost to close with the grand show itself- The playing of MAS! We look forward to seeing lots more fashion, color and sex appeal!

Stay tuned we'll have more pics to display- coming soon!
