Chris’s blog is chock full of fashionable gems that gives her audience brief glimpses into her sleek and polished wardrobe. She’s a master of donning striking hues, enviable footwear and one of the dopest fros I’ve seen in a while but she also manages to maintain this subtle coolness that shines through in each one of her looks. Her ladylike appeal distinguishes her within this vast sea of endless fashion bloggers and her undeniable sophistication also adds a refreshing touch to her impeccable style.

The self-proclaimed ‘over-acheiver’ is also a woman who understands the power of stunning prints! While sorting through her site I found myself intrigued by her love for eye-catching pieces. Whether she’s uplifting a flamboyant polka dot midi dress or a regal sleeveless floor-length duster, Chris effortlessly rocks her chic ensembles while proving that a no-fuss style objective is just as effective as the popular trend-driven alternatives. She’s also walking proof that baby pink tweed suits are an absolute essential! Yes!
