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…

Shadow Me

A pop of denim can take you a long way. When I’m not sure what I’m doing with my look for the day (let’s be real I’m almost never sure, libra probs), I always look for a pop-piece to style an outfit around. For me this makes it easy when I start with deciding on one piece that in definitely going to wear. So to style a perfect after work/weekend outfit, come shadow me.. Jacket: Guess, similar | Chambray Top: Rails | Denim: Paige | Shoes: Dior | Bag: Chanel Literally a figuratively shadow. I took these shots later in…

Motivation Monday!

The worst thing you can ever do is compare yourself to someone else. Your day one can be someone else’s day 100, we’re all at difference places. We all want to know where we stand, know where we fit in, but the fact of the matter is that even if you had a definite answer, you wouldn’t be happy with it any way. So it best to break the habit and stop comparing yourself to others. Every time you think someone else is skinnier, fitter, getting better grades than you, making more money than you, being promoted faster than you,…

Motivation Monday!

So if you haven’t guessed or observed, I can be overly dramatic sometimes. Just last week I was ready to have a mental breakdown, while complaining to my mother via text, about working. I have a full time job, a part time job and my blog. And I quote myself “I would rather work six days a week because then I don’t get to remember what it’s like to be happy and enjoy myself.” Now I can say this to myself, shut the F up Simone, YOU’RE NUTS. I’m also laughing as I write this. Sometimes I just can’t even…

Motivation Monday!

I’m a firm believer that failing and messing something up is the BEST learning experience you can have. And it’s not limited to work and school, it could be not going to the gym for a while, to forgetting to do something for a good friend. Anytime you make a mistake you are empowered to store that experience in the back of your head and move forward and make better decisions. You can’t appreciate sunshine without (a bitterly disgusting New York cold winter that just doesn’t want to leave) rain. This week I challenge you to embrace your mistakes and…

Motivation Monday!

Inhale good shit, exhale bullshit! It’s Monday people – the best day of the week! Today is the day you stop telling yourself you can’t, or you’re too tired or it will take to long. Monday’s are the perfect day to work on achieving your goals. Think about the things you promised yourself you would do come the New Year, what have you done, what can you do more of? I mean let’s be real, I know some up you made some ridiculous gym goals along with me! The important thing to remember is you’re the only one standing in…
