wednesday find :: bloom

hi there lovelies, how are you doing? oh my, the heat around here continues, it’s nearly impossible to be outside. even mr kobe is having a hard time to choose a place to have his naps! poor thing! well, but let’s talk about something that is really pretty and cool for summer – fashion for summer days! you know me, no fashion victim here and i bet that all my girl friends, working outside their home have a way better closet than i! i don’t work on my pj’s (and i honestly don’t understand those who do), i get dressed every single day, but truth be told, there’s no one here making a list of the outfits i repeat all over the week! and i may repeat a few! so, sometimes i get dragged to some really nice fashion blogs (also i’m being very honest when i say i don’t have a single one on my reader), and today i found one via the fresh exchange (really nice blog as well, you really need to check this one out!) and sweet megan listed a few of her favourite fashion blogs and i loved one – kendi every day! and i found that kendi has a day job, which is a clothing store filled with really beautiful things, named bloom!

ok, so let’s talk about fashion! i love this look #1, it’s actually shouting twiggs all over it! even the hair, though i have bangs! but this is really really my style! so the common thing between these two outfits? the jeans and the lose tops. i love to have these discreet tops, that are light and perfect for summer days!

keeping up with the skinny jeans and lose tops! i really love that first asymmetric blouse and the birds top on the second photo! i can only imagine how light these fabrics feel and how perfect these are for any occasion! either you go out with a friend for ice cream, or a meeting with a client, both are perfect!

and then we have this skirt, that seems so lovely with the large stripes, the casual belt, so nautical, but avoiding the usual navy blue tone! and the second blouse, in pastel colours, also fresh and light, perfect for summer evenings when you feel that fresh breeze in the air! and below, the jewerly, i absolutely love how thin these necklaces are and how discreet! i know the value of a nice statement necklace, but most of the times i could go with one like this!

and now a few words on kendi, the owner of this beautiful shop and also a blogger!

“in 2009, i started blogging as a simple way to share my outfits that no one cared about in a little town i lived in. since then ive left that sweet little town and live in north dallas where i’ve opened up a clothing store called bloom. i have a husband and a dog. one is a wedding photographer, the other one sleeps all day long.”

so, i relate with being myself a wedding photographer and having a dog, who also sleeps all day long (really??? how can they manage this and then sleep all night long as well?). as usually fashion bloggers talk about things i don’t really care much about, like the newest trend, the sale season, the trendy designers and must-have things, like $600 handbags or $400 shoes, kendi’s style spoke to me! it’s the style i feel related to, light, casual, but cute and with a character! i’ll definitely add her blog to my reader and that will be a first! for more info on kendi’s work, you can explore her blog and store!
