Motivation Monday!

Sacrifice is what Mondays are made of. As we all wake up to go to school or work, we sacrifice our time and most importantly sleep to do what we think is right. You may have studied or relaxed this weekend to be prepared for a test or presentation. You may have worked six days in a row to earn an extra day off. We all constantly make sacrifices in order to live the best life possible. So, as you drag your ass out of bed this morning, remember that this is all serving a purpose. If you don’t sacrifice…

What’s Black & White and Red All Over?

Well it’s kind of my outfit, I’ve always wanted to use that saying for something LOL I googled the answer and realized it’s supposed to be “read” and the answer is a newspaper (dying because I never got that joke until now). I’ll stop questioning my intelligence and talk about my outfit. I’ve been saving for a Celine bag, but when I saw this gorgeous red Chloe bag, I had to have it. This outfit is nothing without the pop of red. Lets take a look… Top: Forever 21, similar | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Pour La Victoire |…

White Party

At least three rap songs come to mind when I think of an all white outfit (just your standard nutcase problem). So instead of talking about music that’s totally unrelated to my life, I’ll talk about what is: white themed parties! Which are definitely second in my mind to it’s less occurring, color wheel opposite, the black party. I digress. As Summer approaches, it’s smart to have a chic white outfit in your back pocket (so I’ve obvi styled one just for you!!). Lets take a look.. Blazer: H&M | Tank: Express | Trousers: Zara | Shoes: Schutz (Kija) The hardest outfits for…

Motivation Monday! Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Think about this, in 5 years you can be doing something TOTALLY different than what you think you’ll be doing in 5 years right now. (FYI I HATE that interview question, and I’ll always go with CEO, hashtag sorry not sorry LOL) I don’t think any one person is meant to be just one thing. I love meeting people who when to school for anthropology who are now working in a hospital, the people who swore they would be a dentist when they were 15. It’s doesn’t matter what you choose to do, as long as every time you choose,…

Skirt-all + Chanel

I mean who doesn’t love overalls? ME, yea me. I don’t love overalls, at all. I can’t tell you exactly why, but I think it’s the fact that they’re not definite. They’re masculine, but not very masculine the way an oxford is. They’re casual, but not sweatpants but they remind me of sweatpants. You can dress them up with heels, but you can’t make them very dressed up. You would think being a Libra I would love an article of clothing that falls right in the middle of every style question. Until now, I really couldn’t figure them out. And…

Motivation Monday!

If this is not the most perfect quote for any given Monday, then I don’t know what is. I’m sure the Monday struggle is so real right now, and there’s not much to make you happy or look forward to, but you’re always going to have days like that. Today you just have to take the little wins (like remembering yesterday to buy sugar or milk for your coffee this morning) and really appreciate them. Appreciating the small things on a shitty day makes all the difference. Really enjoy the fact that you remembered to do your laundry so you…
