{ STYLE : fall favourites from Orly Kiely }
oh wow, am I ever loving Orly Kiely’s Autumn/Winter collection. I don’t think I could’ve designed a line that was more me if I tried. Love the playful feminine style, patterns, and especially the colour palette.

{style: live colourfully}
To say that I love colour would be an understatement. Not only do I love it but I really do live it. The proof is in my Instagram feed with the classic outfit selfies. I’m always trying new bold colour combos and patterns. I don’t think I own anything beige or nude. Do you embrace…
