FASHION FOCUS: MIXED PRINTS
Mixing prints and patterns as well as different textures has now been remade to be popular. However, the "trend" hasn't always been on it's peak mainly because if it isn't done right, the person tends to look a little if not a whole lot of tacky. The trick with this crazy trend is to find pieces that are both subtle and bold all at once. For example, in today's look, I am wearing a black and gold stripe crop top along with a floral skirt but if you notice, both my skirt and my top share a common color, which is black. Which then somehow pulls the two opposing patterns together. Also, in this look, I decided to wear a slouch red blazer to give the outfit some kind of structure but at the same time keeping it wearable and casual.

The woven bag & bracelet are from Joan & Jesula, a Lorraine Tayne collection. Sunglasses from Giant Vintage
A few days ago, I received a special parcel from Lorraine Tayne which contained a bracelet, a beautiful woven handbag and a pair of lightning bolt earrings (not shown). I was super psyched because I loved every item! It not only suits my style but believe it or not, these pieces are pretty affordable too. Sadly, they are not available on the site anymore but if you check out their site you will see amazingly crafted jewelry and accessories that you will surely love. The Joan & Jesula collection was specifically made for women who want that everyday glam accessory and she can wear with multiple pieces in her wardrobe.

FASHION FOCUS: BRINGING BACKPACKS BACK
I don't know about you guys but I have not worn a backpack since middle school-ish days and ever since then, I have always worn a handbag or satchel/ book bag to school. But lately, I've been loving the look of these fashionable backpacks. Not only is it incredibly spacious but it's amazing in the style department as well. It's different because of the style and fabrics that were used! It's not your typical Jansport hence, it could be worn by anyone who wants to be more fashionable without looking ridiculous or better yet, like a 4th grader.

FASHION FOCUS: DENIM ON DENIM
This trend might have been on the fashion faux pas list a few years back, but hey! look where it's at now. In today's look, I incorporated two shades of denim. One that is a lighter wash used as a vest and  the other considerably darker wash denim used on my bottom half. This then creates depth to the entire look without looking like a patchwork of denim fabric.

FASHION FOCUS: SHEER PRINT
Sheer print tops have been on the top of the fashion food chain for quite some time now. It's not only trendy, but also versatile in many ways depending on how you style them or what print the top has. Nonetheless, sheer tops are perfect, practically all season long! Since the material is almost slim to none, it gives you a nice coverage but at the same time, the sheerness of the fabric still allows your body to breath and catch some nice breeze without overheating. However, come fall and winter time, you are able to make use of the same exact top by just simply layering it underneath your favorite sweater and exposing the collar and the bottom hem a bit or with cardigans and anoraks. These tops also look great with all sorts of skirts, denim, leggings, you name it. It's not only practical but you can easily change up the feel of your look depending on how you style it. May it be casual, paired with your favorite denim skinnies and some nice flats or even sneakers, or a little city chic with a chiffon maxi skirt in heels or sandals.  Regardless of how you decide to style these babies up, it all comes down to your confidence that really will make you shine through what you wear.

FASHION FOCUS: PLEATS
Pleats on skirts not only add texture but it also exudes femininity into the garment and the entire look. So, with my limelight skirt that I got from TUSC boutique, I decided to pair it with a darker floral sheer top along with some nude wedges to create longer and slimmer legs. I also over accessorized as always, so there's really nothing new to that. 
This look can be worn at almost any casual occasion and if you want to wear a bright pleated skirt such as the one that I'm wearing to a more formal event, all you have to do is change the top and shoes and you're definitely good to go. 
To me, having at least one pleated skirt regardless of its color, length or material used will complete your Spring and Summer seasons.
