Fashion Friday: Leopard

For a while leopard was trendy, then I feel as if it when from trendy to trashy (real quick) and NOW I’m obsessed. Sometimes I feel like certain trends need to go through a transformation before they’re really wearable for me personally. (Another great example of this is studs; fast forward and the Rockstud by Valentino is born) Anyway, I’ve been dying to find the perfect pair of leopard pumps. Since I haven’t found them yet, like any logical shopoholic, I did what came naturally to me and I’ve started adding other leopard pieces into my wardrobe. Exhibit A: this…

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,…

Motivation Monday!

Happy last Motivation Monday of 2014!! Since I’ve finished college in 2013, I swear the years go by faster and faster. The quote I choose today 100% relates to my physical status right now. I literally feel like I’m going to vom and have been off (what I call sick when I don’t want to admit I’m getting sick) all day. I didn’t feel like doing anything today (or even right now) but I push myself to do what I need to do. In order to be successful you need to be willing to always do what you have to…
