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…

Are You FUR Real?

Fall, fall, fall. To get into the swing of the cooler weather coming, there are certain key items that you have to dig out of storage/you closet or invest in. The first one is a fur vest (faux or real pick your poison). Lets take a look.. P H O T O G R A P H Y : Amanda Elle ‘Sheem’ – whoever you are, your graffiti at this beautiful place is NOT COOL. Sweater: H&M | Denim: Paige | Shoes: Christian Louboutin | Bag: Chloe In between Summer/Fall and Winter/Spring a nice warm fur vest will save your style.…

Fringe Benefits

Someone stop me from purchasing all the fringe EVERYTHING. I just can’t help myself sometimes. This is the first fall that fringe is really in so I think it’s smart to grab a few key pieces, like this skirt. Lets take a look.. P H O T O G R A P H Y: Amanda Elle Top: Forever 21 | Bralette: Miss Guided | Skirt: Olivaceous | Shoes: Dior | Bag: Chanel To me this is a perfect fall look. Mid length sleeves + skirt, open toe booties, I’m in LOVE with fall. That’s probable because I’m born in the fall…

Motivation Monday! Kayne West say what?!

Anyone can be or do anything. It’s as simple as that. I mean I could have used a number of celebrities or your “average” billionaires (ie. Jan Koum the founder of whatsapp who once lived on food stamps or Larry Ellison, creator of Oracle who dropped out of college twice, or need I say Oprah?!) but Kayne seemed like the most well known target. He’s opinionated, reckless, creative and successful. Most importantly, the first thing he was, was average. So many entrepreneurs come from nothing. If I had to tell you what I think got them to where they are,…

Fainting because FALL

So maybe fainting is quite dramatic, but you all know me so you know that I’m being sooooo ridiculous over dealing with the fact that Summer is over. But like any Simone would do, I made the best of it by coming up with the chicest pre-fall look I could think of (and from what I had in my closet). Lets take a look.. Top: C/Meo | Skirt: SheIn | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Earrings: Mirina Collection To start off fall I went with some heavier (material wise) items in my closet. I loved this red midi skirt when I…

Girl on a Mission

My Mom says I’m “a dog with a bone” but I like to refer to myself as a girl on a mission. Once I get something in my head that’s it, it has to happen or I have to have it. This next looks screams this to me. You look good, you feel good, you’re in a chic blouse and shoes, hair in bun – but you can go anywhere. There’s nothing stoping you. This is that look. Let check it out.. Top: BCBG | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Schutz I’m literally the type of nut that you can’t…
