Causal Wednesday: Just a little Effort

What do you wear when you have no idea what to wear? A bright color + a neutral color. It’s the easiest way to look like you’re wearing a well thought out outfit, with little actual effort (fave). Today look is a fun outfit for hanging out with friends, grabbing lunch or running errands. Let’s take a look.. Coat: Victoria’s Secret, similar | Sweater: C by Bloomingdale’s | Denim: J Brand | Hat: Gap, similar | Boots & Bag: Chanel Love bright pink! In the gloomy winter days it brightens up your winter skin (for me that’s practically translucent skin)…

Motivation Monday!

BUT I’M TOO NEUROTIC TO LET GO OF CONTROL!!! Haha, sorry but it’s kind of true. Personally, it’s something I’m always working on and reminding myself, not everything has to work out in the way that I think it should. It’s so important to relax and take life day-by-day. Just because something doesn’t work out right the first time, doesn’t mean it won’t work out perfectly in the future. Jobs, friends, relationships, will all work out the way that they should. The great thing about failures is what you learn, and they mean they you’re trying. Everything works out the…

Motivation Monday!

I thought this quote was perfect for the first Monday of the New Year! Most of us have made and set goals which aren’t easy to keep or to commit to. Today is dedicated to being courageous and stepping out of your comfort zone. It’s day five, and maybe you haven’t started your resolution yet, but take today to force yourself out of the box. Do what you need to do. See and feel your goals and imagine yourself achieving them. Nothing will come easy, but it will come. If you’ve started on your goals, KEEP GOING. Whatever you do,…

Layers, Leopard and Louie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, or a day off if you don’t celebrate! Today’s look is something I would consider fun for me.

Coat: H&M | Blouse: Aqua, similar | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Louis Vuitton Theres just something about leopard and Louis Vuitton thats so.. I mean business. And I don’t mean that in a corporate sense. Very mob wives. OK, I’ll move on from talking…

Motivation Monday!

Always stand by your friends and family while they struggle. I’ve always appreciated my friends that have stood by me through difficult times. Being a 20-something, I’m always working, going to school (done for now thank god) and in general always doing something, so the people who understand this and stand by me have always been the ones I appreciate the most. When you’re working hard it’s difficult to give the little time you have to every single person. As a friend or family member, be understanding. Lose the wining assholes who keep complaining that you don’t see them enough…
