It’s never easy to take a leap of faith. Sometimes you have no choice but to make a decision to leap into something new all together or to choose to stay right where you are. In many situations their is now grey area to hide in. For example do you: take a new job or stay where you currently are, go away to college or stay local, move out or stay home, stay or break up with a loved one, keep certain friends in your life or let them go. To grow, you have to take the leap. It’s not…

Fashion Friday: Snow White

Fashion Friday: Snow White

I personally have nothing in common with Snow White, but I can definitely relate to her seven dwarves. Mostly Happy and Sleepy and this week I can even relate to Sneezy. Anyway, the titles really more of a metaphor for this Friday’s all white look and all the snow that’s inhabiting my life right now. Let’s take a look.. Coat: Mink Pink | Blouse: Loft, similar | Denim: Loft | Scarf: Old Navy, similar | Booties: Steven Madden, similar | Bag: Chloe, similar  They’re a something so cozy and dangerous about wearing winter white. Cozy because winter white is much warmer…

Winter Recovery

Winter Recovery

So after a not so horrendous snow storm (personally any snow for me is rather horrendous), what are you supposed to do? First thing you should do is go to the gym (I’m in a permanent in a carb coma right now), second is to grab your biggest comfiest sweater and dare I say leggings. Fine, I don’t really hate leggings, for goodness sake I’m from Westchester where 99% of the population enjoys leggings as pants. If you can’t beat them.. well you know, just wear the leggings. Anyway, I’ll shut up, lets take a look..  Sweater: ASOS | Scarf: ASOS |…

Braving the Blizzard like a True New Yorker

Braving the Blizzard like a True New Yorker

Hello, hello! This snow bunny is super happy that she got let out of her day job early, so happy that she decided to take some pictures in the snow! I have a love/hate relationship with the snow. A part of me loves that it’s a beautiful act of nature and makes the world look so clean, the other part wishes I was born in a country that boarders the equator so I would never have to ever know that snow even exists. But, as a native New Yorker (I live right outside of NYC in Westchester County), I drove home…

Motivation Monday!

This is one of my favorite quotes/mantras. It’s one of the ways that I always try to live my life. During any hardship in life, it’s your patience and how you deal with these difficulties that matters most. You should always strive to put out good energy even when nothing good is going on. On the opposite spectrum, your attitude when everything is going good means so much too. You should always be kind even when you don’t necessarily have to be. Constantly be thankful for the everything that you have. No one likes an asshole. People remember when you do something…

Fashion Friday Blues

Fashion Friday Blues

Black and blue is a go to for me when I have no idea what to wear, but I have somewhere to go or would rather not look like a bum. A bright blue always pops against black, I love the contrast. Be carful to not wear black and navy blue, that may be black, or is it blue? Those are the worst days ever. OK, babble over, lets take a look at this Fashion Friday’s outfit.. Blazer: NY&Co, similar | Sweater: Forever 21, similar | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel  This is such a fun weekend outfit,…
