Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

I’m a firm believer that failing and messing something up is the BEST learning experience you can have. And it’s not limited to work and school, it could be not going to the gym for a while, to forgetting to do something for a good friend. Anytime you make a mistake you are empowered to store that experience in the back of your head and move forward and make better decisions. You can’t appreciate sunshine without (a bitterly disgusting New York cold winter that just doesn’t want to leave) rain. This week I challenge you to embrace your mistakes and…

White out

White out

Spring is finally, kind-of, slightly in the air. Whatever, I’ll take it. And just as much as I love white in the Winter, I love it even more in the Spring and Summer. It’s such a clean and fresh way to bring in the new season. Let’s take a look.. Coat: H&M, similar | Top: H&M (last year), similar | Denim: Current Elliot | Shoes: Pour La Victorie | Clutch: Clare V Say it with me, coated-white-denim; I’m SO obsessed. I swear it makes my legs look thinner and it fits so nice! I also love the zipper detail on…

Blazer Addict

Blazer Addict

I legitimately live for blazers. I can always justify a blazer purchase and this recent purchase was no different. They instantly make any outfit look serious, like you mean business (and I mean what woman does not mean business?). Although I went with a more casual style with this blazer, it still has a stark seriousness to it. Lets take a look.. Blazer: BCBGeneration | Top: Aqua | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Necklace: Charming Charlie’s, similar  I love the jewel tones in this blazer, it’s perfect for any season. I also love…

A Complete 360

A Complete 360

Welcome back to the 70s! Or even 2001 (circa the Justin and Brintey matching denim era), where bell bottoms, floral prints and platforms are the latest and greatest in the fashion world. The hoarder in me LOVES that everything comes back around, it makes my saving of old things justifiable. It’s not everyday I can grab an old trendy item and rework it back into my wardrobe, so I was so excited when I remembered I kept a pair of boot/flare cut jeans from college. Lets take a look.. Blazer:H&M | Top: Forever 21 | Jeans: Hudson (old), similar |…

Undecided

Undecided

My posts for the next few weeks may confuse you due to the seasons changing. Is it winter? Is it spring? Why can I wear shorts one day and cashmere the next? That’s just the reality of the undecided weather. So today I present to you a perfect I between look. Here we go.. Coat: H&M, similar | Sweater: Loft | Denim: J Brand | Booties: Dolce Vita | Bag: Marc Jacobs These booties scream Spring. You could NEVER wear them in the Winter due to the open toe and your foot would probably sweat to death in the Summer. I…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

I almost never stop. I have a full time job, a basically part-time job and my blog. I still find time for my family and friends and even sometimes the gym (that’s more of a struggle but I’ll still count it). Every morning I pop up ready to go, even on the weekends. I actually dislike sleeping in, I feel like I miss half the day when that happens. A lot of you may be asking, but how?? And thinking that I’m nuts (which is probably half true! haha). You’re going to end up sleeping 20 years anyway, why would…
