Motivation Monday!

I thought this quote was perfect for the first Monday of the New Year! Most of us have made and set goals which aren’t easy to keep or to commit to. Today is dedicated to being courageous and stepping out of your comfort zone. It’s day five, and maybe you haven’t started your resolution yet, but take today to force yourself out of the box. Do what you need to do. See and feel your goals and imagine yourself achieving them. Nothing will come easy, but it will come. If you’ve started on your goals, KEEP GOING. Whatever you do,…

Bringing Metallics into 2015

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!! Something I’ll totally be brining into 2015 is metallics, it’s definitely become the more acceptable, less tacky sequins (at least by me that is). I saw this blazer in August and I knew I had to have it. Being somewhat of a bargain hunter, I couldn’t get my self to pay regular price ($198). So a few months later I was able to get it on sale (you’ll die at the price now, you can find it under the Shop My Look at the bottom). Anyway, my point being, I love this blazer and I…

Motivation Monday!

Happy last Motivation Monday of 2014!! Since I’ve finished college in 2013, I swear the years go by faster and faster. The quote I choose today 100% relates to my physical status right now. I literally feel like I’m going to vom and have been off (what I call sick when I don’t want to admit I’m getting sick) all day. I didn’t feel like doing anything today (or even right now) but I push myself to do what I need to do. In order to be successful you need to be willing to always do what you have to…

Layers, Leopard and Louie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, or a day off if you don’t celebrate! Today’s look is something I would consider fun for me. If you know Westchester, New York, this look is just that and almost a little mob wives-esque too. I really love how it came out. Lets take a look.. Coat: H&M | Blouse: Aqua, similar | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Louis Vuitton Theres just something about leopard and Louis Vuitton thats so.. I mean business. And I don’t mean that in a corporate sense. Very mob wives. OK, I’ll move on from talking…

Merry Christmas Eve Style!

First off for any of you that celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas Eve! I wanted to do a fun look that’s both chic and festive for the season. Let’s take a look.. Vest: Adrienne Landau | Sweater: Nasty Gal | Denim: Loft, similar | Shoes: Pour la Victorie, similar Recently I’ve been in love with Winter white. It’s such a great additional neutral to add to the black, brown and grays of the world. I feel like many people stay away from white in the Winter. It’s definitely out of my comfort zone, but ever time I wear it, nothing…

Motivation Monday!

Always stand by your friends and family while they struggle. I’ve always appreciated my friends that have stood by me through difficult times. Being a 20-something, I’m always working, going to school (done for now thank god) and in general always doing something, so the people who understand this and stand by me have always been the ones I appreciate the most. When you’re working hard it’s difficult to give the little time you have to every single person. As a friend or family member, be understanding. Lose the wining assholes who keep complaining that you don’t see them enough…
