Fashion: White Out

Being that it’s Summer, I had to do an all white outfit post. It’s definitely a standard Summer look. There’s something about a crisp white outfit that I love. There’s also a part of it that gives me high anxiety, hence the all white part. So you know, I just take a deep breath and take my tide-to-go pen with me, just incase! Take a look.. Top: Charming Charlie’s, similar | Denim: JBRAND | Shoes: Michael Kors | Clutch: Street Level, similar I thought this look needed to be cleaner, because the shirt had so much material, so I pulled my hair…

Jewelry: Cuff’s and Larger Bracelets

If you haven’t already guessed, I love jewelry! I’m usually more of the type to wear a few different bracelets, rather than one large one. But sometimes the outfit just calls for a cuff! Nastygal, Similar This bracelet is always perfect with a little black dress. I love the enamel and silver together.

Motivation Monday!

Sometimes its so hard to take the bad with the good. No matter how blessed I’ve been throughout my life, when unideal situations arise and I’m struggling, it’s not easy to wake up everyday and say I accept this challenge or this lesson. Thank you for bringing me challenges in my life, for I know they will make me better. That’s a hard statement, especially when you’re going through a rough time. It’s even harder when you’ve personally made a mistake. I always try to be as positive as possible when things don’t go my way. I’ll admit it’s hard…

Hi everyone! Wow, it doesn’t seem like Wednesday at all! Today I’m going to talk about statement necklaces, specifically, necklaces with color.

How To: Fun Earring

Summer is the perfect time to start adding in statement pieces into your jewelry collection. It’s also a great time to experiment with bigger “fun” earrings. It was hard for me at first to wear large earrings. I always used to wear diamond studs; it was literally all I wore for quite some time. I first started wearing fun earrings when I found myself constantly admiring them on other people. I also started to feel like my outfits sometimes needed some color, or were missing something, and I couldn’t necessarily fix it with a necklace. So comes the fun earring. These…
