Motivation Monday!

We’re all always trying to do more, and be better, make more money, be more social, ect. The list can go on and on. So, today post is about stoping at smelling the roses. It’s great that you want to keep going and bettering yourself, but sometimes we’re so focused on the future that we forget to be thankful for what we have at this very moment. Enjoy the things and people you have in your life at this very moment. The more you appreciate what you already have, the easier it will be to work for more. This Monday…

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…

Motivation Monday!

I am QUEEN of subconsciously comparing my chapter one to other’s chapter twenty. It’s absolutely insane, but sometimes I just can’t help it. I always feel like I should have the best of everything at every moment, and the truth is life just doesn’t work that way and my path is different from everyone else’s. In college I was always very hard on myself to do well and get only A’s, work 24/7 and maintain my relationships. Every couple of months I’d have a mental breakdown, so it’s hard to realize that you can’t do everything and you can’t be…

Color Conflict

I’m always trying to incorporate color into my outfits. There are so many deep beautiful fall colors that we should all try to incorporate into our go to black/neutral outfits. A little color can go a long way. I pulled the colors for this look from my favorite plaid scarf. Lets take a look… Coat: H&M, similar | Blouse: Forever 21, similar | Denim: Vince,similar | Boots: Stuart Weitzman, similar | Scarf: Zara, similar | Bag: Gucci So purple and green are definitely not what I consider a go-to color combination but I couldn’t love this color conflict more. This…

Pardon my Pastel

So it’s no secret that the Pantone’s for Spring are calling all “natural” pastels for the color trend. Although it’s still very much winter in New York, I thought it would be nice to start thinking about spring. Following the natural pastel trend I came up with this look that mixed neutral organic colors with these fun pastel pink jeans. Let’s take a look.. Coat: Glamorous | Blouse: H&M | Sweater: Joe Fresh, similar | Denim: Paige, similar | Shoes: Gucci I don’t consider myself trend obsessed, but I always try to know what’s “in” and mix in my…

Motivation Monday!

Truth. You get what you give. I personally need a lot of motivation to be positive and happy this Monday morning as I’m back in New York and there’s currently an Arctic freeze occurring. I thought this quote was widely appropriate, from me to you and also for me. Traveling alone made me realize there are a lot of great people left in humanity (I know that’s strange to hear but just listen for a second). While I was nervously but calmly twitching on the inside waiting at the airport, I encountered two women sitting near myself. One was traveling…
