Accessories They Wore + Accessories-Styling We Love at Lavish

Event: Lavish | Location: Kingston, Jamaica

A few weekends ago, one of Kingston's hottest party brought more life to the city. And the ladies who stepped out, didn't stray too far from the name and theme of the party. The ladies kept it stylish, fabulous and with a lavish appeal, where many were decked out in some of the season's trends while adding their own twist to their looks.

What do you think? How would you rate the accessories-styling for the event?

Local + Caribbean Blogs We Love to Read

This might be one of our most random yet very personal blog posts of all time - but being an avid blog reader of so many awesome blogs out there, we just felt like sharing some of our very own favourite blogs we love love to read! 

If you check our Blog Roll, you might see some of your favourite blogs too and in all honesty, really and truly there isn't enough space there on our blog to share all the blogs we love. Sooooo, we decided to share some of the favourites we love to read. But in this post, we are happy to share some of our favourite local and Caribbean blogs :)

We are suckers for quality not to mention anything Caribbean - and a great way to promote and sell all the quality things from the Caribbean apart from the beautifully designed fashion accessory pieces - it is our pleasure to share all the AWESOME things that happen here in the Caribbean plus the tremendous people who do superb things.

So enough with the chit-chatter -- here we go with our favourite local and Caribbean blogs we love to read (which are in no particular order). By the way, they are not all fashion/fashion accessories-focused  blog (there is a mixture of beauty, fashion and lifestyle blogs in the  mix - all from different parts of the Caribbean)

1. Exotic You (JAMAICA) - Debbie and Shannon always have us glued to their blogs - these ladies own a personal style that oozes confidence and with their fashionable flair we are officially hooked. What do we love the most about Exotic You, is the out of the box DIY's that are quite fun and easy to do and the personal styling that inspires!

2. Ceola (TRINIDAD) - Ceola, has a thing with words, but not only that, she has a superb taste in her fashion choices. And since, she is big supporter for locally made pieces like ourselves we were even more drawn to her blog for some of the latest deets on the must have pieces to shop! She's pretty fun, candid and always on the look out for quality pieces to share, so her blog always have us going back for more

3. Natalia Oh (JAMAICA) - An avid fashion lover and a 'DIY Queen' as we call her, connects with the fashion-forward minds and fashion lovers every where. When she is not showing us how to do-it-ourselves in a new DIY post, she is sharing styling tips and personal styling photos that inspires.

4. Cities and Islands (TRINIDAD) - Now, Kathryn is one that inspires. And we must admit she's one of our top favourites, who shares her recent buys, how she wears her pieces with a tidbit of her lifestyle in Trinidad and her travel life. Remember that post on how to turn your scarf into a turban to UMPF up with your look? That was Kathryn, who inspired that post! 

5. Island Style (ANTIGUA) - First let us say, her personal style inspires. Though she is an island girl, she is big on city style too. She has some of the finest taste in accessories and has a style that inspires. To know her blog, is to love it. 

6. White Fur (JAMAICA) - Though she is fairly new to the blogosphere, her love for fashion is wise beyond her years. Thalia boosts a style that is fierce, edgy and is statement worthy. Though she might be an island girl, her style is matching to that of high-fashion street style that leaves us wanting more. From tad bits of DIYs to personal style posts, she hits the mark at every shot.

7. Soooo FABULOUS (BARBADOS) - We found out about this blog thanks to Kathryn of Cities and Islands, and we are liking what she has brought so far. From must-wear trends to the latest runway, red carpet and collection reviews, she brings it while dropping in a tidbit of fashion tips here and there.

8. Blue Sky Tie Dye (TRINIDAD) - BSTD is another one of our favourites when it comes to highlighting local fashion designers. From clothing to fashion accessories, BSTD shares the new releases, gives us the deets on local fashion hosted events plus gives us a little store tour of some of Trinidad and Tobago's local boutiques. Love TT, love local, love fashion and uniqueness? Then you'll love the blog

9. Indiz Blog (GUADELOUPE) - We recently found this blog, thanks to Caribbean Style Bloggers network, which we peep every now and then - annd, we love her blog though! Indiz Blog is not only personal styling focused, but she is good with sharing a few fashion tips and shares the in-trend must-haves and how to wear them.

10. Trinidad Lookbook (TRINIDAD) - This is one of the first Caribbean-based fashion, lifestyle blog we got hooked to in the beginning and we have fallen in love again. Why? They don't resist sharing some of the great Caribbean finds, events to go plus all the other shenanigans, as they would put it! They are awesome at sharing the best of everything Caribbean, from fashion to lifestyle! 

We enjoy lying in bed reading these blogs or using our lunch break at work to catch up on what's hot and happening, whether it is fresh post or an oldie but goodie post! Let's just put it as this, these blogs, inspires and we're pretty sure there is lot more we haven't discovered just yet! But hey - once we discover them we will be happy to share in an upcoming post!

Do you have any local/Caribbean blogs you love of your own that you'd love to share? We'd be happy to check them out.
