Interview with Fashion Designer Roseline D'Oreye

Hi There..... Are you a fan of fashion accessories? 

I certainly hope so, because I have another fashion designer interview for you today. If not, just read and who knows, you might get to like those fashion accessories in the end. 😉

Perhaps it's a bit like learning to eat veggies or stuff like that. That reminds me of all the things I had to learn to eat but never did. Things like fish, yuck, I still hate it. 😝

Sometimes I wonder if all the fuss about eating foods you don't like is worth it. When I and my sisters were kids, we had to keep trying, even though we clearly didn't like it. I can't count the times I had to eat things against my will. Ooh, so much fun. 😏

I never applied that rule with my kids. They always had to try foods that were new to them, but I never forced them to keep trying. When they hadn't tried it for a long time, I let them give it another go. Not sure if that was a better tactic, but at least it was better for my conscience. 😁

Time for a change in subject. Who is the star on my blog today? She is 41 and her personal and brand name is Roseline d’Oreye.


What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I’m a fashion designer and art therapist. 
I have worked for several years as a book illustrator and as an art teacher. 
Now I have formed my company in which I create and produce my own designs on silk squares and other luxury fashion accessories. 

What made you decide to become a fashion designer?

Since I was a child, I wanted to be an artist / a drawer. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Yes, because it reveals our identity and the way we propose ourselves to others. Clothes and fashion accessories protect us and highlight our personality. It can help to build self-esteem. 


What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

My best success is to have the honor of working with La Maison Degand (made to measure men’s fashion) and La Maison Natan (women’s haute couture) for silk pockets and scarves. 
I took an appointment with Pierre Degand, and he liked my work. Then he suggested to collaborate. 
With Edouard Vermeulen, it was a lucky day. I met him by chance at the Sablon. He also liked my work and asked me to work with him. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

No, but it gives me a sense of the product’s identity. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

Rock & romantic, and very different from one day to another. 
I’m used to matching different pieces of clothes and fashion accessories as a work of art. Everything has to contribute to complete harmony. 


How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My personal style always grows with my personality, the circumstances of my life, and my daily mood. I don’t have a signature. I am the signature. 

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I don’t know. I try to help people to love themselves and to dare to try new ways of clothing that look good for them. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

The timeless elegance. 


What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Writing the name of the brand in extra large fonts on the clothes. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Feel beautiful and comfortable with your outfit. It has to highlight your own beauty. 


Who is your style icon and why?

Audrey Hepburn because she is not only beautiful, she is luminous, authentic, so much elegant, very brave, and generous. 
Did you know she wasn’t only a famous actress, but a humanitarian? For several years, she devoted her time to UNICEF where she worked in some of the poorest communities of Africa, South America, and Asia. 

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. “(Audrey Hepburn) 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Fashion has to make sense to you and agree with your values, your way of loving life, and your identity. 


Thanks, Roseline, for this lovely interview. Love that Audrey Hepburn quote. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Tips on Innovative Beauty Products in Belgium - Beautical - Take care of Yourself

Hi There..... Do you think it important to take care of yourself? Do you like beauty products?

Ah, I bet you do. No, I am not only talking to the women reading my blog post today. Own up to it if you are a man. Admit that you like to take care of yourself. 😎

The beauty products I am going to talk to you about after my little chat are not only for women but gender-neutral. Ah, there will be no blog post without me having a bit of small talk. 😜

When I was a teenager, there was nothing for men in the beauty line except for maybe deodorant and aftershave. Things have changed a lot. Nowadays, there are skincare products for both men and women. I am totally opposed to that. 😡

Why should men have beauty products? How can we stay better looking if they also take care of themselves? Not a good idea. Haha, just kidding, of course.  😂

Ok, time to tell you more about the free products Beautical sent me in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍


What is Beautical?

It's an advanced beauty brand, developed to help you achieve instant and long-term visible results and feel amazing in your skin.

They team up with beauty experts and scientists to develop innovative, effective formulas, based on cutting-edge technology and clinically tested ingredients, helping you maintain your youthful appearance without the need for costly, painful, or intrusive procedures.

Rooted in innovation and out-of-the-box thinking, their highly performant treatments rejuvenate and help you rediscover your beauty.

What is Beautical's mission?

Beautical believes and supports every woman’s right to feel beautiful. They commit to empowering women with a unique range of skincare and innovative products to transform you from the inside out.

Is Beautical cruelty-free?

Beauty shouldn’t come at the price of cruelty. Beautical upholds the commitment to high-end, cruelty-free skincare. Formulas are selected carefully, researched, and vetted but never tested on animals – only on them and their friends.

Is Beautical Paraben-free?

We are all about looking good and feeling even better! Beautical’s products are formulated without any parabens and are safe to use. Just pure beauty delivered by nature (with some help from technology).

Less is more

They’ve been there: they’ve seen the bathroom cabinet, filled to the brim with skincare creams, serums, masks… Beautical subscribes to the “less is more” philosophy by working around the clock to develop products that provide you with actual results and a plethora of skin benefits without cluttering your bathroom storage. By targeting multiple skin concerns at the same time, our products make you – and the environment – happier. 

Transparency

At Beautical, they believe beauty starts from within. That’s why they are committed to being 100% transparent when it comes to their products. They provide their customers with detailed information about their ingredients.

What’s more, they steer clear of confusing jargon and scientific lingo to help you truly understand how these ingredients work in synergy to reawaken your beauty. They are completely honest when it comes to the contents of their treatments, as well as the formulas and packaging. No question is off-limits.

INSTANT LIFTING SERUM



What is it?

This highly concentrated lifting serum dramatically reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while moisturizing and firming up your skin. Forget about costly, invasive procedures: enjoy smooth as silk skin and a radiant appearance within minutes.

Beautical Instant Lifting Serum’s formula is based on a powerful blend of clinically proven ingredients working in synergy to firm the skin, increase its elasticity and nourish it from within. Deeply hydrated, your skin looks rejuvenated, softer and smoother.

Because feel matters as much as looks, the Instant Lifting Serum has a silky texture that is immediately absorbed into the skin for best results. This quick absorption ensures visible, instant anti-wrinkle effects without any residue or stickiness.

While its formula targets the most dynamic facial wrinkles – the forehead lines, crow’s feet, and nasolabial folds – the serum also delivers dramatic results for the appearance of under-eye bags. By plumping up the skin and hydrating its deepest layers, Beautical Instant Lifting Serum banishes the puffiness for a firmer, glowing look.

Discover younger-looking, refreshed, and restored skin within only 5 minutes and for up to 8 hours. For maximum results and long-term benefits, use the serum daily for at least 30 days.


My opinion on the Lifting Serum

I don't see any reason why I should give you my opinion on this product. Isn't it obvious in the pictures above? You can see that the bags under my eyes are a lot less on the picture on the right. The lines around my mouth are a lot less visible, too. You can also see that my left eye has been lifted and looks much better. A slight negative is that it stings when you put on the product, but it doesn't hurt that much. The small pump makes it super easy to use. 😊

VOLUMFIZZ PEPTIDE BUBBLE SERUM


What is it?

Leave the uneven complexion, the dull and dry skin, and those pesky fine lines in the past! VOLUMFIZZ Peptide Bubble Serum plumps and nourishes the skin, recovers lost volume, and brings back the V-shape of your face. Peptide-enriched, this bubble serum will transform your skin from the inside, giving you a more radiant, youthful look with every application.

Its proprietary peptide complex reawakens your skin’s inner power, boosting collagen production and replenishing hydration for a firmer, healthier look. The unique blend of Centella Asiatica Extract and skin-soothing botanicals saturates the skin with hydration, providing a refined, even, and radiant complexion, while cutting-edge liposome technology ensures penetration and absorption of the active ingredients to the deepest layers of your skin. The proprietary bio-bubble technology, on the other hand, helps to distribute and saturate the skin with the serum’s unique blend of nutrients.

Rediscover your inner beauty and goddess glow with your new skincare staple. Bubble up and say hi to the new you!


My opinion on the VOLUMFIZZ Peptide Bubble Serum

Can I first congratulate all those YouTubers, because I now know how hard it is to make a decent video? I hope you can forgive me that my video is far from perfect, but I suppose only practice makes perfect. 

What can I say about the product? I really feel like the serum works, even though I have been using it for only a couple of days. My complexion is already getting better, and I don't need to put on extra day cream because the product moisturizes your skin perfectly. My skin feels soft and nourished. Curious to see what the results will be after using it twice a day for a month. 😚

Can I give you some advice? If you are interested in beauty hacks and advice, check out their Blog.

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Tips on where to find Flower Art Resin Jewelry - Izabella Resin Art

Hi There..... Are you a fan of flower art? Do you like resin jewelry?

I love both flower art and resin jewelry if they are well made. Many years ago, I had a stunning piece of dried flowers, but it was made with mirrors and very hard to clean. It got very dirty after a few years and completely lost its charm. I so miss cleaning it. Duh, no, of course not. Nothing fun about cleaning. 😏

There is one piece of flower art that also almost got lost, but we could repair it. It's a frame with my original wedding flowers in it, so it's already 35 years old. Not sure if many people still do that with their bride's bouquet. Such a shame to just throw it away. Unless you get divorced maybe, then you can get rid of it. 😁

Always have been a big fan of any kind of flower, fresh or dried. They smell so nice. I have a very sensitive nose regarding flowers. More than others, it seems, because I've had several times that I remember picking up their scent while others didn't. Roses are my favorite flower scent, and I dare to bet I am not the only one. 😊

Ah yes, plants. My cat was always very fond of them, too. Somewhat too fond, if you ask me, because he made sure I didn't have to water them anymore. He liked my plants so much that he ate pieces of them or messed up the soil, so they died. I thought, why not try a cactus. You never guess what happened. Big surprise. He ate it. 

Time to tell you some more about the resin jewelry I received from Izabella Resin Art in exchange for a full blog post. 

Perhaps you would like to know a bit more about Izabella.

Info on Izabella

Bella is a teacher by profession. She taught History for ten years and is now a full-time graduate student at Uppsala University. Her love for details, which can be associated with her passion for History, is also evident in almost all her resin jewelry pieces. 

The name “Izabella” was taken from her birthplace, Isabella, Negros Occidental, where she recalls her earliest memory of witnessing different kinds of flowers blooming after a rainy day in July. In the same month of 2019, she decided to sell the resin jewelry pieces that she made during her free time.

Plants, especially their flowers, always have their unique way of brightening up someone’s day. They seem to speak a distinct language of love and happiness that easily captures people’s hearts. This is why Bella, the artist behind Izabella Resin Art, chose botanicals and resin as her primary medium for artistic expression. She hopes that her flower jewelry can elicit feelings of joy and love to anyone who will wear them.

How are the pieces of Resin Jewelry made?

Each piece from Izabella Resin Art goes through a long and rigorous process. First, the artist collects the ideal plants, which are usually small flowers and leaves, that will be used for the designs. Some of these are already dried,  but others are often preserved for two to three weeks through a flower presser. Once all the botanicals are ready, they will undergo the arrangement process, wherein they will be arranged in a bezel or a mold.

Then, layers of resin will be poured. This process is considered the most challenging part because bubbles, dust, and other particles might mix with the resin and eventually destroy the design. Last, after the curing process, each piece will be shaped and smoothened using a polishing machine. If flaws are still noticeable, a layer of resin will be added for another curing and polishing process.

Every design and detail of each piece of jewelry speaks of craftsmanship, passion, and love for the arts as it reflects the artist’s happy thoughts and emotions. In the future, she plans to create resin jewelry pieces that are inspired and made of endemic plants from the places she visits.


How can we take care of our resin pieces?

Even though the jewelry is made with stainless metal and high-quality resin, it is better to be safe than sorry when taking care of them. 
  • avoid scratching or bumping your jewelry on rough surfaces.
  • prevent discoloration by refraining from exposure to sunlight, smoke, perfume, lotion, and other chemicals.
  • remove your jewelry whenever you swim or take a bath. Remember to use the polishing cloth provided with your purchase, and make sure to store your jewelry in a clean and dry box.


My opinion on the resin jewelry

How could I not be happy with those gorgeous pieces? Red is my favorite color, so she made that one especially for me. The only thing is, which one would I choose to be my favorite. I honestly don't know, because the green one is equally beautiful. It's good that I don't have to choose. 😍


The jewelry came well packed in a cute box with my name on it, and thin crepe paper hearts. The resin jewelry pieces were accompanied by a delicate chain necklace. Inside the box were some cute dried flowers. The necklace and pendant together didn't feel heavy at all on my neck, so that's another plus. 

If you were waiting for negative feedback this time, I am sorry to disappoint you. I can only recommend you check out her shop for more resin jewelry pieces, and she has some beautiful floral frames, too.

The Best Tips on Women's Fashion - Female Body Types

Hi There..... Do you know anything about female body types? Do I need to ask you if you are a fan of women's fashion?

I don't think so. What would you be reading my blog for then if not to know more about women's fashion? Ah yes, you could have been waiting for a new review. Today, however, I wanted to talk to you about female body types. What would we be without them? 😉

You know, I had this post planned on Wednesday, but I was having so much fun that I totally forgot all about you sitting behind your screens waiting for my post to pop up in your mailbox. Haha, I wish that would have been the case. 😀

There were a few hurdles, and it drove me crazy, so I thought I'd take a day off and postpone it until today. The hard part was getting pictures I could use for my blog post without having to pay for them. 😬

I don't earn money from my blog, so I don't want to invest more than necessary. Just as Steve Jobs said, "My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time." So I thought you wouldn't mind waiting for somewhat longer this time. 😧

To make this blog post possible, I teamed up with Srilakshmi, a budding Fashion Designer from Yogic-Experience

Female Body Types

Understanding your body type is the key to women's fashion and styling. Only if you know what type you are, you will be able to choose the perfect outfit for you. 
 
There are 5 broad classifications of female body types. It all depends on the distribution of muscle and fat in the body. Go one and get out your measuring tape and note the measurements of your shoulders, bust, waist, and hip. With the help of these measurements, you can determine which body shape is yours.



Apple

If you are curvy and have similar measurements on your shoulders, bust, waist, and hip, then you could be an apple or a round body type. In this body type, the waistline is usually undefined and the bust measurement would be high. This represents a circular outline of the body. Own your bust, and go for sharp silhouettes.

An example of a celebrity that has an apple-shaped body is Christina Hendricks - Here is a link to an Instagram picture of her :)



Pear

If your hips and thighs are broader when compared to your shoulders and bust, then you have a pear body shape. Geometrically, this is also referred to as the triangle body shape. You could really flaunt your defined waistline and highlight your shoulders, arms, and back.

An example of a celebrity with a pear shape is Kim Kardashian. Here is a link to a picture from her Instagram



Hourglass

If you have a well-defined waistline with a fair balance in your shoulder and hip measurements, then you have an hourglass body shape. They consider this to be an ideal shape (though rare in reality). Highlight your contours and flaunt the shape!

An example of a celebrity with an hourglass shape is Scarlett Johansson. Here is a picture on her Instagram.



Rectangle

If you have a fairly uniform measurement of shoulders, bust, waist, and hip, then you carry a Rectangle body shape. It makes you look athletic or straight, and the waistline is also straight. If you like to break the box frame, go for outfits that give a definition to your waistline.

An example of a celebrity that has a rectangle shape is Sheryl Crow. This is a picture from her Instagram.



Inverted Triangle

If you have broader shoulders when compared to the hip, you fall in an inverted triangle type. In this scenario, the shoulder measurement is higher than the hip measurement. 

So we can mostly see a descending number in measurements from shoulder-bust-waist-hip. Flaunt your legs and highlight the lower half of your body.

The last example of a celebrity with an Inverted Triangle shape is Angelina Jolie, and this is a picture from her Instagram.

Thanks, Srilakshmi for your help 😍

I am showing you the full picture below so that you can easily compare those female body types.

The Best Online Shop For All Fitness Clothing Needs - Jed North Sportswear

Hi There..... Did you gain a few pounds in those crazy Corona times? Do you like sportswear and fitness clothing?

Then this blog post is the perfect match for you. Don't worry if you haven't gained weight, and do not need to work out like crazy. This blog post is perfect for you too if you like sportswear and fitness clothing. Ah, yes, this one is for everyone, man or woman, big or small. 😍

When I was in secondary school, I was the biggest fan of gym lessons, because I was so good at it. Nah, of course not. Just joking. I was pretty bad at it. Things like jumping over the pommel horse were my biggest fear. 😨

I kept thinking I would land on my head. Usually, I would run right up to it and stop just in front of the darn thing. Can you imagine, it just didn't budge, so I didn't either lol. 😏

I can laugh with it now, but it was quite embarrassing back then. Things like cartwheel and running weren't my forte either. At home, I practiced a lot at headstand, handstand, and tumbling so that I at least scored some points on those. 😄

One of my favorites was rope climbing, though, because hardly anybody was good at it except me and one or two others. Ah yes, and on a rare occasion we would learn how to shot put, and that was something I would excel in. You can't win them all now, can you? 😎

Alright then, time for workouts or not, it doesn't matter, because you can rock the sportswear from Jed North anywhere you go. They gifted me the items below, in return for my honest opinion. I know what your next question is. 😉

What is Jed North?

It is your one-stop shop for all sportswear and fitness clothing needs, from yoga, running to hardcore bodybuilding. 

Jed North's devotion and commitment has made it one of the premier online destinations for gym apparel. They have been operating for over 4 years and are the best at providing athletic and casual wear for every fitness enthusiast. 

They offer a wide range of sportwear and fitness clothing suitable for bodybuilders, powerlifters, yogis, cross-fitters, and general fitness lovers. Their comfortable and functional tank tops, shorts, stringers, t-shirts will be with you every step of the way. Whether you are just beginning a new workout routine, or are a fitness enthusiast looking to look good in a casual setting. Jed North is a brand you can look good wearing year after year both in and outside of the gym.

MID-RISE Running shorts with pockets

Find the comfort you're looking for in these shorts. The comfy sweat style you know and love has arrived in an updated short silhouette. 
They designed these shorts with ultimate comfort in mind so you can work out or lounge with ease. Adjust to your liking with the waist drawstring, two pockets for convenience, and short length for breathability.  Pair it with your favorite shirt or sports bra for a finished look. 

87% Nylon 13% Spandex
Machine Wash Cold
Tumble Dry Low or Hang Dry 
Two Side Pockets
Waist Drawstring 
High Waistband 


My opinion on the shorts

They fit perfectly, and I love the large waistband with a drawstring and handy pockets. Some synthetic fabrics give me shivers when touching them, but luckily, this fabric felt very nice and soft. If you like to take a run in the park and still look cute, these are the perfect shorts for you.

Athletic training sweatpants with pockets

Open yourself up to fresh adventures in our Adventure Joggers. The sleek nylon fabric feels like a dream! The pant features a stretchy waistband and two side pockets to assist you in your every move. Pair it with your favorite hoodie or sports bra for a finished look. 

80% Nylon 20% Spandex 
Two Side Pockets 


My opinion on the training sweatpants

The material they made these sweatpants of is super stretchy and feels very soft. That makes them extra comfortable. The fabric is quite thin so you don't feel too warm in them.


V-Neck A-Line Cami Dress

The V-Neck A-Line Cami Dress is the softest and flattering camisole dress you'll ever wear! This dress flows from the top-down. The fabric is soft and has just enough elasticity to give it a flattering silhouette. Dress this up with heels or dress it down with your favorite sneakers.

Knee Length
Camisole Straps 


My opinion on the Cami Dress

I feel that choosing this dress may have been a mistake. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but I am way too pale for it. We didn't have the best summer, so now I am almost like Snowwhite. It has a great fit though, and the fabric is lovely. I felt a lot more comfortable with my T-shirt on top of it.


High Rise Side Pocket Skinny Jeans

These high-rise classics will be sure to turn heads everywhere you go. Look no further for the most unique and comfiest pair of denim yet. Designed with 4 way stretch comfortable high-waisted waistband, four pockets, button fly closure, and luxury fabric, these jeans will surely become your new favorite!

Machine Cold Wash 
Tumble Dry Low or Hang Dry
75% Cotton 20% Polyester 5% Elastane 


My opinion on the Jeans

Now, this is my kind of Jeans. I just love skinny and high-waist pants. At first, I thought, oh my, I will never fit in that one, but it was perfect. They are super comfortable, and I just love the color and the side pockets. 

Overall, I am thrilled with my order. Usually, deliveries coming from the States take some time, but this package arrived in a few days. Love their handy size charts and they are also very affordable.

They have an extensive choice of sportswear and fitness clothing on their website, so definitely worth a try. 😍

Interview with Fashion Designer Morgan Oughton

Hi There..... Would you like to dive into the fashion industry and get a new fashion designer interview today?

Not that your yes or no is going to make any difference to what I am presenting to you today. That fashion designer interview is on the menu today, like it or not. You can say anything you want about it in the comment section, though. That's a lie because I don't allow any spamming in my comments. 😏

I used to think, why do people hate spam. It's not that bad. We used to eat it a lot when I was a teenager. We would have those large cans, and my mom would slice the canned ham so that we could eat it with our sandwiches. Ooh, just thinking about it makes me hungry. 😋

My dad and mom used to buy them while we were on holiday in Wales because we didn't have them in Belgium. I miss those British foods, you know. Like scones, bangers, tomato soup, and so on. I remember almost every time we went to the restaurant, I used to eat fried prawns with chips. Just to get a bit of variation. 😁

Let's alter the subject and get back to our dive into the fashion industry and the fashion designer that's on today's menu. The fish I caught today is the 37-year-old Morgan Oughton, and she is the owner and head fashion designer of Spacefish Army


What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York specializing in lingerie and swimwear and spent 10 years as a fashion designer, graphic designer, and art director for several large companies. I designed Men’s, Women’s, and Kid’s sportswear, lingerie, sleepwear and worked on many licensed apparel brands, including Disney and Marvel.

What made you decide to become a Designer?

As a teenager, I actually really hated shopping, so I started making my own clothes. I had always been an artist, but my mom and my sewing teacher really encouraged me to try fashion design as a career.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

I love the combination of fashion with functionality. I like when things are really well made and serve their purpose but are also eye-catching art pieces. That perspective has made me focus on quality fabrications and unique graphics, much more than trying to do something too crazy with the silhouettes of the garments.

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I wholeheartedly believe that hard work will get you wherever you want to go in life, but there’s no definition of success besides the one you create for yourself. 

I achieved everything I thought I wanted in my career in New York and was an Art Director for the biggest sleepwear company in the country, but I left it all in 2016 to pursue my passion for scuba diving and have spent 3 years living on boats and swimming with some of the coolest animals on the planet. 

In 2018 I circled back to fashion to create my line of apparel for divers simply because the market was boring and needed some color and life. I am still working on making my company a financial “success”, but what I do now is more fulfilling than all 10 years spent working for other people.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

A brand should have a certain quality associated with it, so while I don’t care about logos on my clothes, I will definitely buy a brand based on past purchases that have met my expectations.


Describe your personal style of clothing?

I’ve always loved lots of colors and prints, but I’m a very active person comfort and versatility are also very important to me. I am usually wearing some kind of brightly colored activewear ready for spontaneous adventures.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I almost exclusively wear my company’s clothing because not only am I a walking advertisement everywhere I go, but I designed them to be everything that I love about clothes, so they match my personality perfectly.


Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

In the diving industry, for sure! Our products are unique in the market and we make more and more fans every time we are around other divers & ocean lovers.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I always love a good tie-dye and neons, I’m glad they are back. 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

The “Tik-Tok” leggings are really hilarious to me. Maybe I’m just getting old, but even my 21-year-old self would not have signed up for everyone in the world to glare directly into my buttcrack.


What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Just have fun with it! Nothing in life should be taken too seriously, but especially not fashion. Wear what makes you feel most like you. 

Who is your style icon and why?

I follow a lot of mermaids online but my favorite by far is Charity Grace. She pulls off the mermaid vibe 1000% with colorful hair combinations and beautiful ocean-inspired outfits.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Share us with the mermaid in your life!
Thank you!
