Fashion Friday: The Boyfriend Jean

It’s Friday the most loved day of the week, DUH. And guess who has the weekend off? ME! Sorry, I worked in retail a long time, it’s hard getting used to having weekends off. It used to be such a luxury. Anyway, on to what you probably thought I’d be talking about, boyfriend jeans. So boyfriend jeans NEVER look cute on me. I have no idea why. I mean what wouldn’t look cute on me. Kidding! HA. So these aren’t jeans you can go out and buy, (sorry) I had to cut them myself. (Annoying) We’ll lets take a look..…

Fashion: A Scarf with a Twist

So today’s really Thursday right?! Technically in working America it is. Speaking of America, for today’s post I bring you another festive look. I mean who doesn’t love getting dressed up for the 4th? Take a look… Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, similar | Denim: Gap | Blouse: H&M, similar | Turban: Nastygal, similar | Bag: Louis Vuitton | Sunglasses: Betsy Johnson So, I’m sure you’re wondering why I called this post “a scarf with a twist” and if you haven’t guessed yet, you better get it together, it’s because my turban is actually a scarf.

Motivation Monday!

Sometimes its so hard to take the bad with the good. No matter how blessed I’ve been throughout my life, when unideal situations arise and I’m struggling, it’s not easy to wake up everyday and say I accept this challenge or this lesson. Thank you for bringing me challenges in my life, for I know they will make me better. That’s a hard statement, especially when you’re going through a rough time. It’s even harder when you’ve personally made a mistake. I always try to be as positive as possible when things don’t go my way. I’ll admit it’s hard…

Fashion: Palm Leaves and Pineapples

Hello, hello! I know I usually do a jewelry post on Wednesday, but today I’m going to change it up a little with an outfit post! Take a look.. Top: Necessary Clothing | Shorts: H&M | Sandals: Tory Burch, similar | Sunglasses: Gucci Did you ever purchase something knowing you have nothing to wear with it, but you HAVE to have it? That was these shorts for me. I loved the colors and knew I didn’t have anything specific that matched them. Of course I could have done a white blouse, but how boring?! I was online shopping the…

Fashion Friday: Airport Style

Hi Everyone! I had a wonderful post set up for today, but it got deleted when all of my pictures for Wednesday also got deleted. So, in lieu of that post, and since I’m traveling, I’d thought I should share what to wear to the airport! Take a look.. Blazer: AQUA, similar | Shirt: Torn by Ronny Kobo, similar, similar | Leggings: Zara, similar | Shoes: Sam Edelman This definitely isn’t the most fashionable outfit I’ve even worn, but it was comfortable. My Aqua blazer is probably the most comfortable blazer I own and I think it dressed up…

Simply by Simone does Watches

Hello everyone! Good morning! So excitingly enough today I took pictures three times before I could actually get them on my computer. Infuriated? Yes, yes I was. Even better, was that my camera deleted the pictures from the actual camera memory every time I plugged it into the computer. Finally, I just took the pictures with my old reliable iPhone. My camera is SO lucky that I’m a grown adult now and no longer smash inanimate objects into little pieces when they don’t cooperate. HA (just kidding about that last smashing part) ANYWAYS… Today with a lot of LOVE I…
