Motivation Monday!

I almost never stop. I have a full time job, a basically part-time job and my blog. I still find time for my family and friends and even sometimes the gym (that’s more of a struggle but I’ll still count it). Every morning I pop up ready to go, even on the weekends. I actually dislike sleeping in, I feel like I miss half the day when that happens. A lot of you may be asking, but how?? And thinking that I’m nuts (which is probably half true! haha). You’re going to end up sleeping 20 years anyway, why would…

Motivation Monday

Happy MONDAY! This Monday I want you to choose your mood! Even if you’re cranky right now because it’s Monday, it’s early and you have to go to work or school, leave that all in bed. Stand up take a deep breath and choose to be happy! We let so many outside factors define our mood, even something as simple as the fact that it’s Monday. Monday doesn’t suck, you’ve just convinced yourself it does. Every day you go to work you further your career and make money (that you need for that Celinè bag you’ve been eyeing, oh wait…

Motivation Monday!

This is one of the many times I should take my own advice. For so many years I fought my passion. I’m very talented at drawing and painting, and overall very artistic. I’ve always thought I was “good” but not amazing or great, which is completely untrue. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that what I love is art or anything creative, it’s just who I am. With my blog I’ve been able to follow my passion. When you do what you love it shows, and it’s the best thing for you. We don’t always make the right decisions or…

Motivation Monday!

I am QUEEN of subconsciously comparing my chapter one to other’s chapter twenty. It’s absolutely insane, but sometimes I just can’t help it. I always feel like I should have the best of everything at every moment, and the truth is life just doesn’t work that way and my path is different from everyone else’s. In college I was always very hard on myself to do well and get only A’s, work 24/7 and maintain my relationships. Every couple of months I’d have a mental breakdown, so it’s hard to realize that you can’t do everything and you can’t be…

Color Conflict

I’m always trying to incorporate color into my outfits. There are so many deep beautiful fall colors that we should all try to incorporate into our go to black/neutral outfits. A little color can go a long way. I pulled the colors for this look from my favorite plaid scarf. Lets take a look… Coat: H&M, similar | Blouse: Forever 21, similar | Denim: Vince,similar | Boots: Stuart Weitzman, similar | Scarf: Zara, similar | Bag: Gucci So purple and green are definitely not what I consider a go-to color combination but I couldn’t love this color conflict more. This…

Motivation Monday!

Truth. You get what you give. I personally need a lot of motivation to be positive and happy this Monday morning as I’m back in New York and there’s currently an Arctic freeze occurring. I thought this quote was widely appropriate, from me to you and also for me. Traveling alone made me realize there are a lot of great people left in humanity (I know that’s strange to hear but just listen for a second). While I was nervously but calmly twitching on the inside waiting at the airport, I encountered two women sitting near myself. One was traveling…
