Sweater Weather

Sweater Weather

Chunky sweaters over sweaters are perfect for optimal warmth (aka my favorite thing ever). I’d say about half the time, even if you have the most gorgeous coat on, it destroys the out outfit. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, it doesn’t destroy the outfit, but it hides it. And I dislike when that happens (I mean don’t we all?). So my point, sweaters keep you from having to wear a coat, probably until around December, which is great! Lets take a look at this weeks outfit.. Quarter Sleeve Sweater: Guess | Cowl Neck Sweater: Forever 21 | Leggings: Timing |…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

Pro tip: I chose this quote today because it’s something SO important to remember. I love fashion, shopping, jewelry, trends, things – I love things; but they are not who I am. My Chanel bag doesn’t make me feel better than anyone else, or define my personality. It’s just a thing, that I love, but again, it’s just a bag. It’s not my family, it’s not my friends, it’s not a great night out or an amazing experience that helps me grow as a person, its a fucking bag. It’s a nice bag and I’m happy I have it, but you…

Fashion Friday: Into the Night

Fashion Friday: Into the Night

No, I mean literally into the night. Since Summer has ended, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to take pictures after work. So these are a little dark, but I still love them. I chose a look I would definitely wear out at night. Lets take a look. Blouse: Reiss | Pants: Paige, similar | Shoes: Gucci | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff I love these pants, they’re something I see myself in all fall/winter. I paired them with a blouse which happens to be grey and light pink, so I thought these new Gucci shoes (that I bought myself for my birthday) went…

Just another Motivation Monday!

Just another Motivation Monday!

There is nothing easy about working hard. Even if you love what you’re doing, it’s still a lot of hard work, time, dedication and sacrifice. Personally, I’m someone who doesn’t function well without a decent nights sleep. This is why it’s so important for me to budget my time accordingly. From 5:30am-11pm I’m constantly going. It’s not an easy thing to do; I’m tired a lot and I get cranky towards the people I love the most. Balance and scheduling are very important for success. Make time for fun things to look forward too while you’re working hard and not…

Motivation Monday

Happy Monday everyone! Today I want to challenge you to be thankful for what you have. It’s so easy to look at the things and experiences that other people have and compare them to yours. Everyone’s journey is so different. It’s also easy in the age of social media to assume everyone is so happy and has a better life than you. I’m guilty of doing this myself, every so often. I always try to remind myself of everything I’ve been given and everything I’ve worked for. After that I also remind myself that there are some people worse off…

Fashion Friday: Wine-ing

Fashion Friday: Wine-ing

Hello and Happy Friday! I love showing a more weekend appropriate outfit on Fridays because that’s when we all have plans and have no idea what to wear. I love wine in a real general sense. The color, drinking wine, whining about anything and everything, wine is definitely a large part of my life. HA. So naturally, when I saw this wine colored skirt I instantly fell in love. Take a look. Top: DVF, similar | Skirt: Forever 21 | Shoes: Stewart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel The sheer sleeves on this blouse paired with the wine colored skirt, really sold…
