Fashion Friday: Pop of Color

Happy Friday everyone! Sometimes it’s hard just to make a casual dinner outfit. I thought it was important to share a look that’s both casual and well put together. Color really does go a long way. I started out with a very muted outfit and really was able to brighten it up. Take a look.. Blazer: Nastygal, similar | Blouse: Equipment | Denim: JBRAND | Shoes: Prada | Bag: Gucci This look was comfortable and something I would wear to dinner, drinks or even brunch. I like that the bright green blazer really makes the blouse pop. For an even more casual look, you could…

Motivation Monday!

Good morning! I thought this was a good metaphor for some of the things that happen to us throughout out lives. You always get pulled back a little before something really good happens. This quote also reminds us to be patient and to remember that anything that’s going on right now that may be difficult, is not permanent. Start your week off right and keep aiming for all the things you want out of life. If the present isn’t good, don’t dwell on it! Nothing’s ever perfect so just enjoy life for what it is. Have a very happy Monday…

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. Charming Charlie’s, Similar I usually wear this bracelet more in the fall because of the colors. I try to match it with a chunky sweater, it always adds a nice pop! Vince Camuto I’ve worn this bracelet a number of times in previous posts. I love wearing…

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…

Monday Hustle!

Hi all and Happy MONDAY! We’re back at it again! I chose this quote because I think sometimes it’s hard to remember why you’re getting ready for school or work right now. It’s so early, maybe the sun isn’t even up, you’re tired from Sunday Funday (a horrible invention for a bad hangover if you ask me) and you’re thinking, I just want to stay in bed. But what will that accomplish? NOTHING. Get it together, get your head back in the game and ENJOY your Monday! This is where the dream starts, so wake up and have a great…

Summer Mondays – Wearing Black In The Summer

Summer Mondays – Wearing Black In The Summer Hi everyone! First, I think we should all vote that everything should be closed in the Summer on Monday! HA (I wish) Anyway, we’re all back here today! I chose the quote above because I love wearing black. Especially wearing black in the Summer. Clothing, shoes, accessories you name it, I 100% enjoy it more in black. Sometimes, working in the retail world, I forget how much I love black because I’m ALWAYS, really always, wearing ALL black (with the occasional white blouse)! I found this quote so funny because, in the…
