Daydreaming

Daydreaming

Processed with VSCO with f2 preset

I spend a lot of time daydreaming, it’s one of my favorite past times. I think about those who have entered my life and those who have drifted away. I dream about the people that I will meet in the future and the person I will become. I plan where I want to be in a few years and I determine how I am going to get there. I fondly remember the moments when my mind was completely still, and I was blanketed in peace. Some might call daydreaming an escape, I would describe it as a form of manifestation. Every thought and idea that I conjure in my mind becomes a vessel that pushes me towards my future.

Each image in this collage fills me with joy and fuels my dreams. When I am older and wiser, I hope to look at this collage as a reminder of the thoughts that consumed my twenty-year-old mind.

A great sundress is crucial to have in the spring. Not only is a sundress the perfect piece of clothing to slip on for a nice day, but it is also a key piece of clothing for graduations and other spring events. This season I have been obsessed with delicate and dainty dresses. Most of my favorite dresses that you can see below have puff sleeves, tiny tie straps, or ruffles. As for accessorizing a sundress; gold hoops would look cute with any of these dresses, and for most, a necklace is not even necessary. When looking to find shoes to pair with your sundress, lace-up chunky heels will always look good in a nude color, and you can even wear Nike’s for a more casual look.

For those of you who don’t know, The Cannes Film festival is a global film festival that is held in Cannes, France (aka: the playground for the rich and famous). The event gives producers the opportunity to premiere films of all genres to an audience of members of the film industry and celebrities.

Although the purpose of the festival is to present films, fashion is a major aspect of the event. The infamous red carpet is a runway for models, actresses, and other celebrities to display elegant gowns and ensembles that embody the classy Cannes Film Festival. Not only is the fashion impeccable on the red carpet, but the display of gorgeous clothes continues in the street-style of those who attend the festival. However, today my post is focused on the gowns at the main event. I created a slideshow of my absolute favorite looks from this year’s Cannes Film Festival that you can view below. I enjoyed the gowns that were very simple but dressed up with a lot of jewelry.

What is the second-best thing to wearing athleisure you may ask? A good pair of jeans. The fit of denim is constantly evolving and the most recent evolution is from a skinny fit to a relaxed fit. I think that there is a common misconception that you can’t look good in jeans that aren’t painted on your body. However, this is not the case. Loose-fitting jeans can be just as flattering as skinny jeans and not to mention more comfortable to wear.

Otherwise known as “mom jeans”, loose-fit jeans were a staple of the ’70s, 80’s, and 90’s. Levi’s are the brand people typically associate with these types of jeans. If you are looking to acquire Levi’s, you are better off searching for a unique pair in a thrift store that will cost you around $30. If you don’t have the patience for thrifting, below is the link to three pairs of jeans that you can order online.

  2. RE/DONE Levi’s

April Songs

I have an addiction to SoundCloud. When I have free time, I spend hours journeying to the depths of the app. I am the type of person that will find a song and listen to it on repeat until I get sick of it.

Athleisure

“Athleisure: a style of clothing worn as athletic apparel but also suitable for casual, everyday wear.” Honestly, you can’t ask for more; athleisure allows you to wear comfortable clothes while looking chic and feeling confident. Brands such as Adidas, Champion, and Nike have always been known for their athletic wear, but it is truly the consumers of these brands that have formed the “athleisure” trend into what it is today. Designer, Kanye West has produced some of the most popular athleisure looks within his Yeezy collections. The entire Kardashian family has become a walking advertisement for the brand. Yeezy has certainly been a major influence for other designers in the world of athleisure. Be sure to look out for some of the smaller brands such as I.AM.GIA, Cotton Citizen, and P.E. Nation.

I love the fact that sweatpants are no longer dubbed, “lazy clothes” because when you pair them with the right accessories and a bomb hairstyle, your outfit can be just as elegant as an outfit that consists of jeans and a nice top. Several fashion street style queens that I look to for athleisure inspiration include model Romee Strijd, Kourtney Kardashian, and Youtuber Kallie Kaiser.

  1. Cotton Citizen Pink Thermal
  2. Light Blue Tracksuit
  3. Nike Black Crew w/ zippers
  4. Rainbow Stripe Joggers
  5. “New York” Crew
  6. Pink Camo Hoody and Navy Red Piping Crew

As if I haven’t already been obsessed with Nike sneakers, recently, several collabs with Nike have caught my eye. All of the shoes in the recent collaboration with Nike and Revolve have sold out and I am still dreaming of the chic designs. There are still several other Nike sneakers on the website, including the gorgeous purple Air Force Ones.

After watching The Goonies and Stranger Things, I was reminded of the classic look of Nike’s Cortez sneakers and sky-high Air Force Ones. Who wouldn’t want to embody cool kids Data and Steve Harrington?

Thanks to it-girls like Bella Hadid and other fashion influencers, Nike has recently ruled the world of street-style. Arguably, some of the most popular street style sneakers are produced by the sheer genius of Virgil Abloh. The designer, who has recently been named the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear collection, collaborated with Nike to create the infamous Off-White deconstructed collection (which sells out instantaneously with every release). I am excited to see where Nike will take the street style world this spring.
