“If you’d like to identify a person don’t ask them what they do or what they like to eat or where they live or have studied. Ask them instead what they’re living for, what keeps them from what they’d like to live for, what they crave to read and learn about, what is the drive that keeps them going or what calls to them most when they’re close to their edge, or just before they slip into sleep.” Victoria Erickson And if I asked you to name all the things that you love, how long would it take for you…
Staying motivated is not always easy. I for one have been reminded how challenging it is since trying to get myself into a fitness routine. Yet, with my blog, staying motivated has always been relatively easy. Excluding those really cold days that I still have to go outside and take photos! Ha! It’s also not easy to look past things like the Instagram algorithm or stress over things like net neutrality and how it will affect my online business. But I remind myself these are things I can’t control. So I focus my enegery on what I can control. My images,…
Casual and stylish are not usually used to refer to a singular item together. Either it’s stylish or it’s casual. Luckily we’re in a new era of fashion where there are so many items that are easy to run around in and are also stylish. My go-to look on the weekends this Winter has been a puffer jacket and sweatshirt with jeans or leather leggings. I know it sounds basic, but a trendy puffer seals the deal in making your casual outfit stylish. Especially if you grab one in a color. The green puffer I’m wearing today is on sale for…
Tchotchke: a small object that is decorative rather than strictly functional; a trinket. Do you know what I’m talking about now? Ha! Who else had no idea it was spelled like that?! I love receiving thoughtful little trinkets from my friends, so I wanted to share some of my favorites with you. You should never take for granted your girlfriends. The good ones are in your life through it all, so on Valentine’s Day, it’s so nice to give them something that makes them feel special. Since tchotchkes are technically items that aren’t functional, I wanted to throw in functional items too.…
Cheers to another very me (and I’m sure also very you since you’re here on the blog) Valentine’s Day look. Of course, it’s mostly black, ha! What can I say, I always revert back to what’s easy for me and you should too. This look is definitely more toned down than last week’s Valentine’s Day look but I think the wine cami adds some romance! I’ve been dying for a CamiNYC camisole forever now. Something that’s been on my to-do list for quite some time now is to shop in store more. Especially in small boutiques in my area (Westchester County). So…
In case you ever foolishly forget, I am never not thinking of you. By now you know I’m not the type of girl who likes to purchase something I’ll only wear once. Especially if it’s something expensive. Which means I’ll be taking a few things into consideration before I buy something special for Valentines Day. Of course, I want something new, what girl doesn’t want to look special for her besties or her boyfriend/husband?! But I’m certainly not going to break the bank for it and you shouldn’t either. This also means my Valentine’s Day style won’t be something pink. There are…
