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…

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…

Combating Masculine Styles

I’m an impulsive person when it comes to shopping. Sometimes I just HAVE to have specific items, and these Chanel combat boots were one of them. Never mind how expensive or the fact that I got them before I ever had a pair of Louboutins, I HAD to have them and I’m happy I did. They make any outfit chic and are perfect for the winters in New York. For this look I styled them very casual. Let’s take a look.. Vest: Adrienne Landau | Sweater: Aqua, similar | Denim: Joie, similar | Boots, Bag and Sunglasses: Chanel I love…

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,…

Bringing Metallics into 2015

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!! Something I’ll totally be brining into 2015 is metallics, it’s definitely become the more acceptable, less tacky sequins (at least by me that is). I saw this blazer in August and I knew I had to have it. Being somewhat of a bargain hunter, I couldn’t get my self to pay regular price ($198). So a few months later I was able to get it on sale (you’ll die at the price now, you can find it under the Shop My Look at the bottom). Anyway, my point being, I love this blazer and I…

Layers, Leopard and Louie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, or a day off if you don’t celebrate! Today’s look is something I would consider fun for me. If you know Westchester, New York, this look is just that and almost a little mob wives-esque too. I really love how it came out. Lets take a look.. Coat: H&M | Blouse: Aqua, similar | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Louis Vuitton Theres just something about leopard and Louis Vuitton thats so.. I mean business. And I don’t mean that in a corporate sense. Very mob wives. OK, I’ll move on from talking…
