To wish upon a star

Remember those effervescent dreams you had as a child? To become an astronaut, to look as pretty as your mummy when you grow up or to own a sports car. Back then, all of them seemed sparkly and full of hope. But suddenly, somewhere in the midst of growing up, they disappeared. They faded to the recesses of your mind or just got trumped by bigger dreams. Whatever it is, find your way back to them. Find that simplicity that was lost along the way and that childhood innocence that those dreams were made off. Once you hold them tight in the palm of your hand; close your eyes and wish them upon a star. They may not come true or you might just wake up in the morning with shiny new car keys at your bedside.

Winter is coming and playing with textures like leather and silk is the best way to greet it! The colour palette that I've maintained for this outfit is achromatic *a.k.a black and white* and I've paired my leather tote to go with the my faux leather leggings. While deeper hues are generally associated with winter, I went with fresh, dewy makeup to brighten the look and threw in a few gold accessories to compliment the classic shades.
