Casual Wednesdays: Zippers

Casual Wednesdays: Zippers

I love the little details on clothing. One of my favorite ways that designers make something that’s normally rather ordinary into an eye catching piece is when they add zippers. This week I’m going to show you one of my all time favorites. Take a look.    Sweater: old, similar here | Leggings: Zara, similar | Shoes: Michael Kors, similar | Scarf: Nordstrom, similar, similar   As the weather changes I love wearing sweaters and, dare I say, leggings. Ok I said it, but let me explain. I love a good heavy/thick pair of leggings. The ones I’m wearing here are from…

Motivation Monday

This is definitely something I live by. There’s nothing I hate more than someone spewing bullshit to me, that they’re sorry or that they didn’t mean what they said or did, and then, THEN, ten minutes later they’re doing the same thing they just apologized for. I mean, WHAT?! I’m not sure why people do this, but it’s literally the easiest way for me to cut you off. Always watch what people do. I love being observant. If a man or woman, constantly tells you how much you mean to them, how much they love you, how they would give…

Motivation Monday!

I am the QUEEN of biting off more than I can chew. For as long as I can remember I’ve always been doing what others would call too much. Whether it was sports (aka cheerleading and gymnastics, did you think I actually did common sports? haha never – nothing else came as easy), after school activities, clubs, job(s), making time for my friends and family, working out, volunteering; I always did as much as I possibly could. I still do this today. Granted, I didn’t do all these things consecutively everyday, but spaced out over a lifetime it’s definitely a…

Motivation Monday

It’s so hard living in a world where people are so rude, nasty and miserable. We all have our days, but it seems they come more often now than in the past. Or maybe I just see it more now as I get older. I’m always so surprised when I go for a run or walk and some stranger says hi to me. Maybe it’s because I live in NY or that I’m genuinely surprised that someone would actually want to say hello. I always put in a solid effort these days to make others feel good. Wether it’s just…

Fashion Friday: Oxfords

Fashion Friday: Oxfords

Happy last Friday of the Summer! (Not officially, but basically) So sad, I know. Taking a step forward into fall fashion as NYFW approaches is a lot of fun. Except when it’s still hot out. In all actuality I enjoy fall fashion no matter what the weather, since I’m always cold anyway. Today I pulled out a pair of oxfords from the depths, aka my mother’s closet, and went for a menswear inspired look. Take a look. Denim Blouse: American Eagle | Tank: Vince, similar | Denim Pants: Guess | Shoes: Cole Haan, similar Making this look more masculine for me,…

Motivation Monday!

I almost never sleep in these days. I always feel like I should be doing something. Whether it’s for my blog, for work, making time for my friends and family, for my health or simply running errands, there’s always something to do. Anytime I feel myself saying I’m so tired, or I don’t feel like doing something, I think about all I have to accomplish. You should always work on making yourself better and chasing your dreams. Set goals and stick to them. Literally or figuratively sleeping-in or waiting to chase your dreams, almost always defeats the purpose. You may…
