Pantone's Colour of the Year 2017: Greenery

Greenery

cr. R.Allum 2015

If you've been following the Pantone hype you know that they match up other colours with the colour of the year. I'm not getting into that but do keep scrolling for outfit inspiration! ^_^

Greenery, it's self explanatory name and color. Greenery, grass, leaves, nature. Not the rich, dark green of a northern forest but more like the the new leaves of a mango tree. The colour of macha I'd say to be exact. The range is that of light to med-light yellow greens.

Green is a colour that has been proven to improve mood. This is why looking out the car window on a long drive out of the city can be so calming.
Light green can symbolise a fresh start or new beginning. Like the new growth of a mango tree.
Green is also synonymous with prosperity for some crystal meanings so may this year be just that! It also applies to the heart chakra so let there be love! World love :3

Pantone chose this colour because they wish to boost the mood of the world. Hopefully fashion bloggers and retailers embrace the colour and we see a shift from constant neutrals and metallics in everyday wear. Bring Back Colourrr! Maybe in Spring there'll be a change :D

Personally I would have gone with another jewel tone/name like Peridot/Olivine but we had Rose Quartz last year sooo... :'D

Here's to green! and nature inspired outfits! 

I whipped up some quick outfits from H&M.

Change is Imminent

Tobago 2016 R.Allum

I have changed, we all change. I still love beauty and fashion but currently I cannot give as much thought to it as I used to with what the world is going through.  My eyes aren't blind and my inner-self says that there are more pressing things I can write on than what I wear and where to buy what I wore :s I will try to update here soon. I have many drafts that just need to be completed so I will try my best to update soon. Not an empty promise this time :'D On a less deep note, I went to Tobago again this year and had no phone casualties xD

New posts on their way! Tutorial(in this post)

New post coming soonnn

I'm trying to make things work without my phone. I seriously need to improve my repertoire of tech gadgets. Why oh why didn't I get a job this vacation >.< Oh well.

I went spending and spending these two weeks after the chicken pox. 

I was cooped up for so long (not really... I enjoyed every minute @.@ kdramas) 

When I was released from my cave I just went crazy... I didn't buy much but the amount of walking and store checking I did I could be an Olympian in shopping. 

Every store worth anytime I checked out in Port of Spain and Central. I still didn't hit up south since my emancipation but I did frequent there often right before I got sick.

Some of the stores I bought stuff from were:
Micles
Wonderful World
Shoeaholics
Bang Bang
J&K Signature Styles

These are my most frequented local stores, Bang Bang not so much because it's far from where I live but when I did go I was able to pick up some nice items during their sale. 

Here's a sneak peek of the upcoming outfit ;)

Post Paint Party Duds

Green, paint, distressed, matelot, shorts :D 

Pic doesn't do it justiceee. So this is part of the reprise or repeating as I've worn these shorts a lot (used to be off-white) and now with this paint makeover I can continue to wear them yayz!

A little artsy shorts never hurt nobodyyy. Unless the paint is still running and you get wet... Make sure and wash before wearing! :) Maybe I should do a tutorial for these shorts...

Paint Party Shorts
Step 1: Buy ticket to a paint party
Step 2: Purchase light(pastel or white) coloured shorts
Step 3: Attend party in shorts and get soaked in different colours of paint
 (avoid carrying Iphone)
Step 4: Get washed down with a powerful hose
Step 5: Allow remaining paint to soak into fabric for about 2hours
Step 6: Lightly rinse shorts in cold water and leave out on balcony to dry
Step 7: While still damp, put in a plastic bag and leave shut for 6hours 
Step 8: Remove shorts from bag and hang to dry
Step 9: Tell your mum about the shorts
Step 10: Let her handle the rest
Step 11: Your shorts will now be magically clean and have lovely worn in paint stains

Okay okay, so from Steps 9-11 you just gotta wash your shorts like a normal coloured item and put them in the dryer.
When I figure out how to do this without going to a party I'll seriously post :3

Thnx for your patience
