Styling a Trendy Item

Hi everyone, happy Friday! Today I’m going to talk about making a trendy item your own. The center button down camel suede skirt is so popular right now (I’m sure you have the picture in your head right now, that’s how in it is). I love this look and I’ve loved watching other bloggers style it. Personally, I’m not about wearing something just because it’s in or because everyone else is wearing it, so I had to make this my own. I found this center zipper faux suede skirt on H&M at it was love at first sight. Lets take…

Monday Affirmation

This is definitely easier said than done, but it’s something I try to practice everyday. I wake up and remind myself to be thankful for each day. It’s hard enough going through a routine and doing the same things over and over again, it’s another thing to actually enjoy what you’re doing. Committing to being happy each day (over time) does actually work. You end up in this habit of happiness instead of complaining and crankiness. Today I challenge you to choose to be happy and to live in the moment of today. You deserve to enjoy each day and…

Motivation Team!

Hi everyone, happy Monday! This Monday I want to try something new. Instead of me talking about what motivates me, or the positive attitude you should choose for the day, ect. Let’s talk about how we get through the week and how we can better enjoy each day leading up to the weekend. I love the quote above and it really got me thinking, how do I help myself enjoy each day? It’s no secret that even I look forward to the weekend, but I want to get better at embracing each day, even if it means being at work.…

Summer Staples

Denim is my always staple, but what I’m really talking about is a white blouse. Denim with a white blouse is my ode to a navy/white combo since I’m navy impaired (navy causes high anxiety for me due to the fact that many navy shades look like black LOL half kidding, mostly just dramatic) but that’s the reason why I stay away from navy. I digress. Lets take a look.. Top: Elizabeth & James | Denim: DL | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel | Jewlery: David Yurman, Ippolita It’s calming knowing I have staples in my closet. I love…

Monday Vibes

I love starting off the week with good vibes. It’s Monday, we’re all cranky – I need at a minimum two cups of coffee before I’m of sound mind – and I get it, who wants to be nice and/or in a good mood at 8am Monday morning? Really no one. Who wants to deal with cranky people? Nobody! So here’s my Monday advice, vibes, motivation what have you, be kind. Even if you’re cranky, remember that you never know what other people are going through. If someone had a horrible morning that you didn’t even know about, why would…

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…
