Monday Musings

Monday Musings

Persistence, tenacity, hustle, ambition – key traits that one must possess to be the best they can be. You can be the most naturally talented artist, but that doesn’t matter if that’s not what you want. But – if you’re naturally talented at something (or even if you’re not) I’m a firm believer in manifesting anything your heart desires into your life. If you want something bad enough, and you work hard for it, you can have anything in the world (I will re-confirm this once I get my spacious NYC apartment). If you want to be the best accountant…

Shadow Me

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…

Rocksbox + Rockstud

Rocksbox + Rockstud

Great shoes and great accessories will take you a long way. I swear by the fact that you can get away with wearing inexpensive clothing (ie. Forever 21, Miss Guided, Sheinside ect.) with high end accessories and look like a million dollars. This week I chose to spice up a seemingly casual look by adding bold accessories. Let’s take a look.. Cardigan: H&M | Top: H&M | Denim: Guess | Shoes: Valentino | Bag: Clare V, similar | Necklace: Slate c/o Rocksbox I swear if I was wearing flats with this outfit I would look like a bag lady/hot mess.…

Oh how Monday always rolls around again and again. As you read this, I’m sure you’re tired, maybe you’re having your coffee or haven’t even gotten out of bed yet, but with your cranky pants in all – you’re all missing something. What you’re fighting through right now is the obstacle in the way of your success. The tiredness, the wish to be shipwrecked on a deserted island, the dread of dragging your ass to work – that’s all that stands in between you and your next big opportunity. When you put it into perspective, and look to the bigger…

Your girlfriend/bestie invites you over for dinner, out for drinks, shopping, or your man (love interest, hubby, boo, whatever you call your significant other) invites you to a movie or over his friends house and…..

Motivation Monday!

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…
