Are you gushing over this coat as much as I am…I’m so so so in love. The color is perfect, so bright and vivid I mean you’d be able to spot me from a mile away honestly lol. I knew I wanted the outfit to be minimal so the coat can do all the work. I mentioned this in my last post as well; in the Winter all you need is an amazing statement coat and perfect accessories to go with it!
As I’m writing this I just realized that this could have been a look for NYFW. Oversized coats are a must during fashion week and oversized blazers are my favorite as well. I literally own every color blazer you can imagine, you can thank my many years in corporate for that. I plan on giving them their debut in the Spring and Summer months paired with short shorts. I’m seriously loving layered looks it just screams effort when in reality you barely tried hehe.
Is there anyone else obsessed with clear heels I can’t seem to get enough they compliment every outfit. I actually stop myself from wearing it as I own alot of shoes but for this look I couldn’t resist I plan on investing in a few more before these die on me…Are you guys loving clear heels as well? If so what brand are you obsessed with?
Can we talk about this headwrap? Yes! ok good:) Well first of all I love this freaking wrap omg, the colors are so bomb and it was the perfect match for my coat. I’m wearing “Glow up 2.0” from my brand WrapQueen.
Hmm what else has been going on in my world. I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed with life these days, especially with the news about Kobe Bryant, and I’m forcing myself to actually live, live each day being happy and grateful and being appreciative of the present. I’ve been loving on my kid a lot more too and trying my best to have him do all the things he loves at the moment which is Swimming. Yeap! I’m a swim mom lol. I never knew how to swim growing up, and seeing my son be a beast in the water, I’m beyond proud. I wake up each day listing 5 things I’m grateful for. And one of them is being able to work for myself which allows me to be with my husband and kid, seriously how lucky am I?
Wishing you all a productive week love u all so much!!

So many of us have our own style and thrive on sticking to that, but we all like a little bit of an update to our looks now and then; right? There is no real need to stick to one type of style as life is all about experimenting and having fun; and changing things up occasionally is important. Finding our style can help us with our confidence and ensure that we get a good sense of self. Generally, as teenagers we try all sorts of things out to find what suits us, which is why at that age things can seem a little cray. But as we get older we should still experiment with our looks and try new things. We can evolve, and improve ourselves over time if we try.
Piercings
Piercings are obviously very specific to the person and a personal choice. Having a personal piercing of some kind such as a surface tragus piercing can really help you finish off a certain “look” and this can be exciting and new if it is the first time you have tried them or if you’re into that! But it’s not something to be scared off, all you need to do is make sure that you have the right information about your intended piercer. For example their health and safety information, and whether they value hygiene as you do. This is essential since a piercing going wrong can be devastating to your health. Piercings can be incredible, and whether it’s your nose, a body piercing, or just some extra ones around your ears it certainly makes a statement. i plan on adding a few more to my ears during the Summer.
Next year’s fashion
Getting one step ahead, and doing some research about what next years fashion trends are can make you feel great, being organized, staying in the “know” can keep you ahead of fashion trends, which can help you stand out when the time is right! Although standing out isn’t necessarily the aim of the game, who am I kidding it definitely is! haha,when you’re looking to make a statement then this can be a winner. Ultimately keeping ahead of the fashion game is something that you can do for fun, you can also tell your followers about upcoming trends which they will love!
Hats
Normally, we don’t always tend to see people in hats, it’s not something that we all choose unless it’s a stylish hat in the winter. But being bold and making sure that you have a little bit of a statement hat, can really help you complete a look. Some people tend to choose to put a hat into their wardrobes, to ensure that they have options, or even have a hat as a part of a specific outfit. But whatever you choose to do, do it boldly and don’t worry about what others have to say- be you!
So don’t forget to try things out, experiment with your looks, and feel happy with your choices. At the end of the day you’re the one who has to wear your chosen accessories or outfits, so as long as you are happy when you look in the mirror nothing else matters. After all we are in 2020 and it’s time to live our best lives!
If you’ve been an OG follower of mine then you are very aware of my love for statement coats! They are literally perfect pieces to add to your wardrobe, and trust me they will come in handy on days when you’re sitting in your towel looking at your closet full of clothes saying wtf am I gonna wear to this event etc hahahah. I know I’m definitely guilty of saying what am I gonna wear while I’m looking at a 10 pairs of jeans, 15 sweaters, 6 button downs lol you get the drift, but don’t tell the hubbz I said that-hahahha.
Statement coats are everything, well first of all I love to layer, which is kinda why I dislike Summer because you cant layer 🙁 especially not with NYC heat smh. During the Summer I gotta be creative with my outfits and honestly I’m just tryna be nakey hahah omg what is wrong with me, I cant stay focus lolol. No, but I love the Fall, Winter, and even Spring as it allows you to wear a statement jacket of some sort.
Statement coats instantly makes you appear more stylish when all you did was put on a tee and a good pair of jeans and walah! Imagine wearing an all black look and then bam you add a bright neon pink coat over your shoulders. I actually own a faux fur Pink coat which I plan to wear very soon. Statement coats/ jackets brings life and personality to your outfit, you wanna know that girl with the beautiful coat, what’s she like? where does she shop? What does the inside of her closet look like and much more, I know I obsess when I see girls in beautiful coats.
I was too excited to wear this coat maybe that explains why I was ::Cheesin:: so much in this photo lol. We had a beautiful day in the city and I was feeling absolutely amazing, I had just released a few new arrivals on “Wrap Queen” and was so excited to make a video for my customers announcing that we finally have a new texting service so they no longer had to wait on an email to keep up with me!
Any whose love the simplicity of this coat and I love that it’s black and white; which means I can wear it in so many ways. I just love pairing black and white with red so that was an obvious outfit choice for me. I would love to pull this coat off in the Spring as well wearing pastel colors- omg imagine ugh can’t wait….Stay Tuned!:) Oh and feel free to use code S1island15 for $ off .

How are you? I hope you all are doing great and trying your best to stick to your New year goals. I know I am for sure. Although I can’t seem to go to bed early for the life of me. And I definitely need the sleep as I am a witch in the morning lol -and I’m not a coffee drinker- so you can imagine my poor kid and the hubby having to deal with me. Oh btw my new fave thing is listening to podcasts before I go to bed; quickest and easiest way to fall asleep. Let me know if you want me to share my faves! Okay moving on. I had no idea I Loved Chunky sweaters until now, when I tell you I need them in every color believe mehhh.
This sweater is so bomb you guys, so cozy and the colors I die. So I’m not sure if you remember but I’ve always said that I love all the colors… lol- well guess what I lied haha my fave is orange. I love the way it looks on my skin, yellow is a close second fave but orange has my heart. I love that the sweater has the right amount of orange/ rust. It gives off an expensive luxurious feel which I’m here for!
We’ve been having some really nice NYC days. This day it was 63 degrees & your gurl was so happy which is why I turned my sweater into a cropped version and I think I loved it even more. I decided to wear a simple denim with this look as I wanted all the attention on my sweater. I felt like my headwrap and sweater stole the show-heheh.
P.S. Feel free to use code S1island15 for $ off!
Thanks for Reading my loves!

Shopping for footwear can be easy for some but a real challenge for others. Trying to find a great pair of shoes or having to replace a few of our fave but battered ones on your current shoe rack is tough but necessary. So here are a few shopping tips when it comes to footwear.
Knowing your size is important because it can help you find the right size or know where you need to be looking when it comes to the perfect fit. A lot of the sizes can differ when you go from store to store, but most will end up being the same. Don’t forget that not everyone’s feet are just about size. Some have issues with the width of their foot whilst others have a flat foot with no arch. These can all lead to different requests that are needed like getting womens extra wide calf boots. So know your sizing where possible to help cut out as much fuss as possible.
Find The Right Material For Your Feet
Depending on the health of your feet, some people may need a more breathable material, whether that’s because their feet sweat more or maybe you suffer from a foot condition like athlete’s foot, for example. Look at what materials have worked for you in the past and what hasn’t worked so well. Anything that’s going to suffocate your feet, and it’s ability to breathe is never going to be good but then you want a material that’s durable, or that might be water-proof. So finding a balance is tough, but it’s always worth doing trial and error when it comes to these things.
Invest In Quality
Quality is true for most things in life, and when it comes to footwear, it’s probably the one area where it makes the most difference. Considering that you’re putting constant pressure and movement into your shoes, you want them to last. And the only way that this can really happen is if it’s a level of high quality. Yes, it might cost more but it’s likely to be more effective in providing comfort but also the longevity that you’re after.
Go For Neutral Colors
Neutral colors aren’t going to clash, and when you’re buying shoes, you might want to consider going for colors that are more basic. That way, you can reduce the amount you buy because each pair of shoes will work well with a number of outfits. Black and brown are usually two that go well with most outfits. Make sure you have one of each in your wardrobe, whether that’s in the form of your boots or a court shoe.
When shopping for footwear, be sure to try everything on and that you’ve done the walk around the shops a few times. Ensure that the comfort is there, and you feel confident that this comfort isn’t just a temporary thing. Make sure the style works for you and your wardrobe, too, because that’s super important you guys!
Hey My loves! I know I know many of you are probably wondering where the heck are my older post, but unfortunately we had a bit of a hiccup and lost our website- yes years and years of content. We tried our best to get the site back but GOdaddy couldn’t bring it back. I’m heart broken, so sad literally crying right now as I can’t believe it’s gone. Like how? There must be some way to get it back right? Trust me I thought the same thing. I argued with the hubbz I stomped my feet threw things broke things but none of those things brought it back. I have so many memories of my son and pix together that I will never get back, but I’m trying to stay strong. I know things like this happens to influencers all the time, whether you’re hacked and have to start from scratch and build again. The hubbz told me he may have a hard drive with older content but he hasn’t sort that out yet, so who knows. At this point I just want to go all in and produce a ton of content for you guys. As this is my passion, IslandChic is my baby. Islandchic helped me start “Wrap Queen” so I’m forever grateful. Anyway starting fresh I think is exactly what I need going into the new year. If I’m able to bring back any popular posts I’ll definitely share them with you. Please feel free to share with me in the comments any words of encouragement, as I need it. Now let’s talk about this look!
When I tell you this coat is everything- believe me! I absolutely love it. Although I dislike Winter I live for Winter fashion. I love layering. This coat right here is theee perfect statement coat. I’m literally harassed on the street each time I wear it with folks stopping me to ask questions about it. Safe to say it’s one of my fave Winter coats.
I decided to pair it with an all black look for that extra chic vibe. Very NYC lol. I’m also normally a heels kinda girl but I was headed to the city so white sneaks it was. Oh and how cute is this bag, I took the straps off and made it a mini purse and I’m obsessed. Of course I had to add a headwrap to finish my look and I went with a nude solid color so the coat can get all the attention! I’ll be bringing you more Winter Looks so please make sure to subscribe and comment too. <3
Thanks For Reading you guys,
