Fall Staples: Black Mini Skirt

Fall Staples: Black Mini Skirt

A black leather mini skirt is a classic piece that you’ll have forever. Personally, I think this makes it totally worth the investment. I was lucky enough to pick up this All Saints leather skirt over the Summer on major sale! So if you’re not ready to pull that $500+ trigger, I would suggest getting a fun faux leather piece and then waiting until off season for this investment. I’ve linked a few real/faux faves below. Take a look.. Turtleneck: Gap | Fur Vest: 525 America | Skirt: All Saints | Shoes: Pour La Victoire | Bag: Chanel | Pearls: Bloomingdales …

Plaid Perfect

Plaid Perfect

Plaid gets me so excited for Fall. I take out my old plaid shirts purchase a few new ones and I wear them over and over and over. What’s more perfect that a vast array of plaid-ness?! Nothing, duh. So today, I’m showcasing a classic fall look. Check it out.. Jacket: All Saints | Top: Rails | Denim: Vince | Shoes: Pour La Victorie | Bag: Celine (still dying over it BTW) P H O T O G R A P H Y: Amanda Elle I love a comfortable, casual outfit that I can wear with heels. The plaid shirt…

Business Talk

Business Talk

I love a good high fashion business outfit, suitable for your next court appearance (hopefully as a lawyer and not a criminal) or corporate meeting. OK, so maybe these pants are a little on the fitted side for a super corporate meeting, but they’re totally chic. I digress. Let’s take a look.. Blazer: Aqua (Bloomingdales) | Bodysuit: American Apparel | Pants: H&M | Shoes: Christian Louboutin Fine, I mean this isn’t perfectly business, but I love this look. All black is always a go-to for me, so it’s always nice to add textures like the suede pants and leather lapels…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

We all go through hard times, we all have scares. This quote really inspired me because sometimes it’s hard to make sense of why horrible things happen to us. Why me? Why this? Why now? I don’t know if there’s ever a right answer to these questions, but know that because of this nothing can break us. Today, I am thankful for everything that I’ve gone through and everything that I will go through, as it always makes me stronger. I chose to become stronger, kinder and more acceptive of others. If you’re going through something difficult, know that you’re…

perSUEDE others this Fall

perSUEDE others this Fall

I love an authentic compliment (what girl doesn’t?!). I hate when people just say they “loooove” (hence the extra o’s, you know you’ve heard this faux compliment) something you’re wearing, when you’re feeling so basic/hate the outfit you got going on. This suede jacket/blouse/EVERYTHING item for Fall is the polar opposite. This is an eye-catcher that anyone can rock and that everyone will love (the real love)! Take a look.. Top: H&M | Dress: Zara | Shoes: Dior | Neck Tie: Zara I always seem to accidentally channel my inner Jackie O (see below). From the necktie to the layered, boxy…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

In each stage of my life thus far, I’ve learned to take things less and less personal. First, it was in elementary school, I learned not to take it personal if someone didn’t want to be my friend. In high school, I learned not to take it personal, if a teacher or coach got upset with my class or team. Today, I continue to learn not to take it personal, if someone doesn’t want to collaborate with me or join my team at work. It’s a beautiful thing when you realize it’s not always about you. I don’t think I…
