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…

Save it

This title is all about my new Sam Edelman shoes (that I really should have bought two pairs of). I’ve been trying to decided what style Aquazurra shoe that I want to invest in, when all of a sudden I came across these. I’m not one to buy a “knock off” but these were so perfect, comfortable and super on sale and mirrored the Aquazzura Belgravia look, so I had to (sue me). I think I’ll still definitely invest in a Aquazurra shoe, but this is a prime example of why you should always keep your eyes and options open.…

Motivation Monday!

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

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…

Uniform Lately

I attended Catholic school for 10 years of my life where I despised having to wear a uniform. Day in and day out the same outfit, stifling my creativity. Dramatic, I know. Come high school, it turns out that I missed my uniform. It’s so easy to mindlessly throw on the same plaid skirt, yellow shirt and navy vest. Fast forward to today, I think I’ve found some balance. (I’m a Libra and theres nothing I love more than balance.. OK, well maybe Chanel, but still not the point). It makes life much easier when you have a few go-to looks when…

Having fun with Valentines Day

What a strange holiday Valentines Day is. Being in a healthy relationship, it actually never meant to much to me. In fact, this year I’ll be in Miami without my Valentine. Personally, I see it as, if someone treats you great always and you always make time for each other, than Valentines day is just another day. I’m also obsessed with food and nothing bothers me more than reservations at a packed restaurant with a pre-set menu. How am I supposed to know what type of food or where I want to eat two weeks in advance?????? Anyway, what I…
