May Favourites

May was definitely a month! I had surgery on my left ear (the same surgery I had on my right ear back in 2021), my favourite show in the world ended, and the episode of Yabani I got to see filmed aired on TV. I cannot believe it is already June and I leave for Iceland in a few weeks! I am nowhere near ready for that trip because I have no idea how to pack. But I am still super excited! Our days…

Wrap Skirt and Vest

This wrap skirt and vest outfit was one of my favourite outfits that I wore while I was in Istanbul. Sadly, I didn’t get any good pictures while wearing it except a couple of me with Rojbin from the Yabani set and in front of the door of Ceylin’s office from Yargı. So I knew I would have to reshoot it when I got back home. It’s too good not to shoot and share. The floral wrap skirt I got with my…

Blue Cashmere Tank and Floral Skort

When packing for my trip to Istanbul, I was trying to come up with new outfit ideas from items already in my closet. This is something that I love to do because I come up with outfit combos, I probably never would have thought of. I don’t see the purpose of buying new clothes for a trip unless it’s something I actually need. But this is how this blue cashmere tank and floral skort outfit was…

Floral Top and Navy Skirt

I have been wanting to wear and shoot this floral top and navy skirt outfit for a while now. I was actually waiting to shoot it in Istanbul too! The floral top is from Etsy but it’s actually made in Turkiye from Tencel. I’ve had the top for a while now, I want to say late fall or early winter. And since the print is floral and short sleeves, not ideal for cold weather. Plus I knew I would be…

Mix and Match Outfit-Houndstooth Pants

I just love how well these mix-and-match prints go together. My houndstooth pants and leaf-printed top go seamlessly together! A great spring outfit too! When it comes to mixing and matching prints, you need to find a common colour between the 2 of them for them to go together. When I was first thinking of this outfit, I wasn’t even sure if they would go well together. Sometimes I get ideas in my…

Mavi Flared Jeans and Denim Jacket

I honestly thought that I would never wear flared jeans again, but here I am! And I am actually surprised how much I love these Mavi-flared jeans on me! I was sent the jeans and the denim jacket for an Earth Month collab I did with Mavi. The jeans I did want, weren’t available in my size so I took a risk and chose the 70’s flares. I’m so glad I did. Because the collab was with Mavi and I was…

How Not to Feel Isolated When Working Remotely

In the past 4 years, a lot of people have transitioned to remote working. While some returned to the office, a lot stayed remote working. Even before 2020, I mostly worked remotely unless I had a photo or commercial shoot, and it’s still the same now. While a lot of us have welcomed working from home and no longer commuting to work, working from home can also make us feel isolated. However, there…
