Patterned Mosaic
Simple French vibes bring my soul to life.
Polka dots are making a chic and contemporary comeback, I for one am a devotee to any classic patterns such as polka dots and stripes. Although this ensemble has mixed patterns, it works well and looks elegant because I used the most classic color combination: black and white. The top is a light sweater that is extremely versatile, the base of the...

Avant-Garde Galore is in town.
Hi everyone!
I decided to change my url to http://avante-gardegalore.tumblr.com/
I feel like my old URL “umakemesparklepink” didn’t really say much about my personal style or myself, just that I like pink. Just wanted to let you guys know!

Industrial Frame
I created this outfit for a business casual rendezvous, in fact I wasn’t quite sure what the dress code would be. Now as much as I love to have all eyes on my master piece, I didn’t want to stand out for styling something either too informal or too decorous, so i decided to stay rather neutral.

Charcoal Grandeur
Elegance is boldness executed with simplicity.
This ensemble was assembled based on the one color that never fails to deliver:black. The intensity of black seems to solve any woman’s resonant problems, the color keeps is both daring yet classic. My intent for this piece was for it to be a “day to night” look, I accomplished this with the best kept secret, dark hues. The shirt...

The top is one of my favorite pieces because of its elegant and posh look. The rounded collar radiates a certain sweetness, but the top is also slightly sheer which gives this outfit just...

Nautical Meets Floral
This ensemble has this feminine “summer vibe” because of the ambrosial fuchsia stripes that have a certain ambiance that reminds me of the summer’s calming ocean. The floral romper adds to the botanical and summery feel of this look. The shirt is simple, but paired with the patterned bottom turns into a memorable and bold piece.I decided to do something rather unorthodox by...

Leopord Craze
This creation of mine is sophisticated, yet casual all at the same time. I constructed this ensemble based on the extravagantly tribal and intricate necklace. Love at first sight was nothing but a myth to me, before my eyes caught sight of this piece of jewelery in a street market in Australia. The beads are wood and painted over with aboriginal Australian designs. I drew inspiration for...
