Laced Up

Laced Up

Hello and happy July everyone!! Can you believe it’s July?! I could get dramatic about the Summer feeling half over but I won’t, instead lets talk fashion. So, tell me about of pair of lace up shoes that I don’t have to have (fyi there are none, I want them ALL). Unfortunately (or fortunately) my budget doesn’t allow for that, so I try to deiced (yes me making a decision is a joke in itself #libraprobs) on the best/my favorite lace up styles to purchase. I would love to get the Aquazzura lace up flats, but it’s not a logical…

Embellished Neutrals

Embellished Neutrals

I’m not big on a lot of color or huge statements, I like a more refined look (I mean give me a nude embellished Chanel bag any day!). Today I’m going to show you a look that proves a little sparkle goes a long way. Top: Forever 21 | Denim: Current Elliot | Bag: Ferragamo | Shoes: Valentino To me this is such girly dressy look, yet I’m wearing PANTS. And not just pants, denim. I love pants and denim. There’s also nothing better than scoring an awesome item at Forever 21 and this embellished top is one of them.I…

Monday Vibes

Monday Vibes

I love starting off the week with good vibes. It’s Monday, we’re all cranky – I need at a minimum two cups of coffee before I’m of sound mind – and I get it, who wants to be nice and/or in a good mood at 8am Monday morning? Really no one. Who wants to deal with cranky people? Nobody! So here’s my Monday advice, vibes, motivation what have you, be kind. Even if you’re cranky, remember that you never know what other people are going through. If someone had a horrible morning that you didn’t even know about, why would…

This week I’m all about this edgy angled skort! Lets take a look.. Blazer: H&M | Bodysuit: American Apparel | Skirt: Necessary Clothing | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chloe I love a good blazer in the Summer, I just can’t help myself (I’m always freezing lol). Pairing it with this envelope skort in addition to edgy gold accessories and you’ve totally upgraded the classic black and white look.…

What’s Black & White and Red All Over?

What’s Black & White and Red All Over?

Well it’s kind of my outfit, I’ve always wanted to use that saying for something LOL I googled the answer and realized it’s supposed to be “read” and the answer is a newspaper (dying because I never got that joke until now). I’ll stop questioning my intelligence and talk about my outfit. I’ve been saving for a Celine bag, but when I saw this gorgeous red Chloe bag, I had to have it. This outfit is nothing without the pop of red. Lets take a look… Top: Forever 21, similar | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Pour La Victoire |…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

When I tell people all the different things I dabble in, I always get this look. This why are you doing so many different things look. (ie. HR, retail, my blog). The truth is, I don’t think we’re all meant to be just one thing or live just one life, especially when it comes to a career. Just because you feel like you’re at a shitty job now, doesn’t mean you’ll be there forever, especially if you don’t let yourself be there. Just because you graduate with a degree in Finance, doesn’t mean you can’t work with kids. I always…
