A Casual Step into Fall

So I finally decided to give in and accept the fact that fall is quickly approaching. It’s such a hard time of year because I’m freezing in the morning then hot in the afternoon and then cold again at night. For this time of year I love layering with light weight sweaters and blouses, and denim is always a go-to. Take a look. Sweater: H&M, similar | Denim: Koral, similar | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Chloe First and foremost, I’m obsessed with everything about these slip on sneakers. They’re so fun and comfortable, and they look perfect with almost any…

How to: White after Labor Day

If you haven’t already, throw that rule away! You can always wear white after Labor Day. I mean, geeze, it was 90 degrees out when I was taking these pictures, there was NO way I was putting on fall clothes. Honestly, I may even go to the beach this weekend. My rule of thumb is, if I can still wear shorts, I can wear white. And then there’s winter white too. I digress. Now that I’m done with that, lets take a look at this week’s outfit. Blazer: New York and Co., similar, similar | Top: Nordstrom | Shorts: H&M | Shoes:…

Motivation Monday

It’s so hard living in a world where people are so rude, nasty and miserable. We all have our days, but it seems they come more often now than in the past. Or maybe I just see it more now as I get older. I’m always so surprised when I go for a run or walk and some stranger says hi to me. Maybe it’s because I live in NY or that I’m genuinely surprised that someone would actually want to say hello. I always put in a solid effort these days to make others feel good. Wether it’s just…

Motivation Monday!

I almost never sleep in these days. I always feel like I should be doing something. Whether it’s for my blog, for work, making time for my friends and family, for my health or simply running errands, there’s always something to do. Anytime I feel myself saying I’m so tired, or I don’t feel like doing something, I think about all I have to accomplish. You should always work on making yourself better and chasing your dreams. Set goals and stick to them. Literally or figuratively sleeping-in or waiting to chase your dreams, almost always defeats the purpose. You may…

Motivation Monday!

People have always said “don’t get mad get even,” which is some of the worst advice I’ve ever heard. You degrade your character when you hurt someone else. No matter what someone has done to you, when you seek revenge they only person that matters that you hurt, is you. The best thing you can do, is detach and let it go. You can even help others by volunteering to get your mind off of someone that has betrayed or hurt you in any way. The world is such a big place, why would you want to be another person…

Fashion Friday: It’s all in the Skirt

It’s that time again! It’s amazing to me how out of my mind I am. I swear every Monday it feels like Friday will NEVER come, and now all of a sudden here I am, again, and I just can’t believe it’s Friday, again. So that’s enough of me losing it. I love this outfit. I’ve been dying to find a more fitted maxi skirt but when I saw this print, I didn’t even care that the skirt was flowy. Take a look.. Top: Nasty Gal, similar, similar | Skirt: ASOS | Shoes: BCBG, similar | Necklace: Charming Charlies, similar I…
