fall trends: the logo belt

Published by dayinmydreams

It’s the era of readjusted vision with radically independent viewpoints and an optimistic view. Fashion is a reflection of our culture, and a sect of young, assertive individuals has paved the way for a 2018 fashion trend that’s grounded in moody irony and an expanded identity as they refuse to adapt to the norms, and seek instead to be boldly confident in their own personal choices. Youthful rebellion is nothing new, but the mood is distinctly evolved. No longer are these insurgents bitter, angry or aggressive. Instead, they are jubilant with their lifestyle choices. They no longer seek to defy their surrounding culture, but rather are more focused on the positive energy they feel in the freedom of their own choices. Hence is born the new tribe of youthful independence. Interpreted into fashion, we see a strong mix of sporty and nostalgic pieces. Graphic elements and denim basics mix in unusual ways. This trend is more about the unique combinations. A part of this trend is a graphic fashion movement called logomania. Logomania is a …

luxury fashion creed millesime imperial review

discover sultry luxury – Creed millesime imperial cologne

Published by dayinmydreams

Ok, I’d be lying if I said I selected this perfume for any reason other than the packaging. But can you blame me? Dripping in luxury, this 100 ML bottle of decadence looks as if pure gold was melted over the entire bottle in one seamless pour. Then as if by magic, the symmetrical Creed logo rises from the liquid gold just a fraction to deepen the metallic shine. It’s flawless by design, with the cut cap standing proudly like a gold brick chiseled to perfection. The box is as beautiful. A hardy white craft board is embossed in gold and silver, with Creed’s 3-feathered crown gracing the box top and center. Millesime Imperial is place on the box as a plaque, giving it an even more regal look and feel. And the scent? photography:KRISTINA PETRICK | camera:CANNON 5D MARK III | cologne c/o:CREED When I was gifted a Creed cologne bottle of choice to feature on an Instagram promotion, I wasn’t able to get the full experience of scent testing before making the selection. …

luxury fashion essentials for the minimalist

life and luxuries for a minimalist

Published by dayinmydreams

With life rolling through like a freight train, it’s important to be able to step back and appreciate the small things. Coffee on the porch on a cool morning, the laughter in the eyes of someone you love, a fragrance the reminds you of home – these small moments let us pause. They give us a deep satisfaction of being only in the moment without distractions, capturing every sensation more intensely than we often allow ourselves. These are the moments we get lost in, a treasure that cannot be met for value. In the fashion industry, it’s easy to get caught up forgetting these moments entirely. Operating at jet speed and surrounding yourself with material items, hunting for the latest fashion trends, and skimming through so much content, it’s easy to become too overloaded for truly soaking everything in. Since starting a luxury fashion blog just a few years back, I have learned how fast those treasured moments can pass you by. Striving to lead an alternative minimalist lifestyle, it has become an important part …

making sporty fashion lux

Published by dayinmydreams

Love luxury fashion but not feeling like trying too hard? Sport luxury is the easiest (and sexiest) solution. Unlike some of today’s quirky fashion blogger trends, sport luxury is effortless and totally understandable no matter what part of the world you may be living in. Here are a few key tips on dressing up your sportswear pieces… or dressing down your luxury fashion… depending on how you choose to look at it. Unlike athleisure, sport luxury doesn’t mean going ultra casual, and you probably won’t look like you just got out of the gym. Athleisure is defined by activewear pieces that you can wear for other occasions in your lifestyle. Leggings to the market, sneakers with dresses and a sport jacket just for the heck of it are all pretty good examples of athleisure style. Sport luxury is a slightly more elevated fashion trend, blending sporty elements into high-fashion style. photography:KUNDAN KUMAR | camera:CANNON 5D MARK III | snap knit c/o:DAVID LERNER | leather leggings c/o:DAVID LERNER | gingham print shoes c/o:SENSO | accessories c/o:ABBOTT …
