Fashion Friday: Snow White

I personally have nothing in common with Snow White, but I can definitely relate to her seven dwarves. Mostly Happy and Sleepy and this week I can even relate to Sneezy. Anyway, the titles really more of a metaphor for this Friday’s all white look and all the snow that’s inhabiting my life right now. Let’s take a look.. Coat: Mink Pink | Blouse: Loft, similar | Denim: Loft | Scarf: Old Navy, similar | Booties: Steven Madden, similar | Bag: Chloe, similar They’re a something so cozy and dangerous about wearing winter white. Cozy because winter white is much warmer…

Uniform Lately

I attended Catholic school for 10 years of my life where I despised having to wear a uniform. Day in and day out the same outfit, stifling my creativity. Dramatic, I know. Come high school, it turns out that I missed my uniform. It’s so easy to mindlessly throw on the same plaid skirt, yellow shirt and navy vest. Fast forward to today, I think I’ve found some balance. (I’m a Libra and theres nothing I love more than balance.. OK, well maybe Chanel, but still not the point). It makes life much easier when you have a few go-to looks when…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday is a favorite post of mine. Starting my week off right is something that is very important to me, that I hope helps you too. I like trying to set small goals ever Monday and to make sure my outlook is positive for the week ahead. This week I’m talking about the metaphor turning the page. We all get “stuck” on something or someone in our lives, every so often. Wether it be a bad situation, an issue with a friend or family member, a boyfriend or girlfriend, we all dwell (obviously some more than others). Sometimes, when…

Winter Recovery

So after a not so horrendous snow storm (personally any snow for me is rather horrendous), what are you supposed to do? First thing you should do is go to the gym (I’m in a permanent in a carb coma right now), second is to grab your biggest comfiest sweater and dare I say leggings. Fine, I don’t really hate leggings, for goodness sake I’m from Westchester where 99% of the population enjoys leggings as pants. If you can’t beat them.. well you know, just wear the leggings. Anyway, I’ll shut up, lets take a look.. Sweater: ASOS | Scarf: ASOS |…

Motivation Monday!

This is one of my favorite quotes/mantras. It’s one of the ways that I always try to live my life. During any hardship in life, it’s your patience and how you deal with these difficulties that matters most. You should always strive to put out good energy even when nothing good is going on. On the opposite spectrum, your attitude when everything is going good means so much too. You should always be kind even when you don’t necessarily have to be. Constantly be thankful for the everything that you have. No one likes an asshole. People remember when you do something…

Fashion Friday Blues

Black and blue is a go to for me when I have no idea what to wear, but I have somewhere to go or would rather not look like a bum. A bright blue always pops against black, I love the contrast. Be carful to not wear black and navy blue, that may be black, or is it blue? Those are the worst days ever. OK, babble over, lets take a look at this Fashion Friday’s outfit.. Blazer: NY&Co, similar | Sweater: Forever 21, similar | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel This is such a fun weekend outfit,…
