Meet Shamie of Colour Me In

Picture




I feel like, if I had a sister, I would want her to be just like Shamie. <3

I know, that's kind of weird and creepy, I guess. Haha. I mean to feel so connected to someone you've never met and only seen pictures of. I guess that makes Shamie a bit like a celebrity crush for me. I absolutely adore her "I don't give a f*ck" attitude about style. It's colorful and whimsical!

She clashes with a purpose and that really speaks to me, because that is exactly the type of person I am. She mixes prints in ways to which I truly aspire. Shamie once described her style as "confused teen" Haha.

In my view, she should update that assessment to: "wise beyond her years." For someone so young, Shamie definitely has it going on when it comes to style! She just rocks!

You guys! Look at these pics! :D Not only am I completely floored by how these color and pattern combinations actually work, but I am jealous that I didn't think of these mixtures first. >_< Haha. Polka dots, florals, stripes and cats!? You are blowing my mind, woman! Amazeballs! <3

I would totally wear these outfits and they're so perfect for Fall. So, I just had to share! I have a soft spot for quirky oversized sweaters, so I instantly fell in love with these looks for that reason, as well. So cute!

I never thought I would idolize someone almost a decade younger than me, but there you go. Yep. This JUST happened! This girl is such an inspiration to me. If you can, please check out Shamie's blog and say, 'hello!' to one of Britain's sweetest style mavens. Keep being you, girl!

Contact me, if you would like to be featured in my Blogger Spotlight series! I can't make any particular guarantees, but preference will be given to lesser known blogs (i.e. blogs with fewer than 50 followers).

DO NOT write me and ask how much it will cost to be featured. Those requests are offensive and I will immediately place your emails in my spam folder where they will languish forever.

How The @#%! Did She Do That? - Tutorial #1

Remember this boho punk outfit from last week? A lot of thought and preparation went into making this ensemble, so I thought it would be cool to show you guys how I created it step by step! I've had some requests to do so-called layering tutorials. Hehe.
I guess this sort of counts as one. I just thought it would be helpful to bring you into my thought processes surrounding this particular outfit. ^_^

I apologize for the strange lighting. Where I live in the U.S., it gets dark at like 5 PM when Fall/Winter sets in. It sucks balls. >_< When I took these photos, it was maybe an hour before sunset. My hands were freezing and I was wearing gloves! So, I might have been hasty with the camera settings. Hehe.

STEP 1: I started with the basic grey maxi dress from Choies and an asymmetrical knot.

Picture

STEP 2: Then I had added my black cardigan. However, this time, I'm using my thrifted floral poncho as the second layer. I think it improves upon the style a bit more. I follow this with the third layer...

STEP 3: ...my thrifted fringed crochet poncho and...

Picture

STEP 4: THEN, I add the asymmetrical long sleeved cardigan. This overlapping is better, IMO.

Picture

STEP 5: Finally, I top it off with my vegan leather jacket from TIL Darling and...voila! :D

Picture

I think the other elements of the outfit are pretty self explanatory. ^_^ I'm not brave enough to do a Youtube video like some other bloggers. Sorry! I'll get there...maybe. Anyway, I hope these mannequin photos are good enough! Oh and if you'd like to see a tutorial for a specific outfit, just make a request!

Thank you for your kindness, as always! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! <3
