Fashion Friday: Lace Up Shoes

Hello and Happy Friday! After what was a very long week for me, we’re all finally here! I’m 100% relaxing this weekend, sometimes you just need to know when you need a break. Today I’m going to show you a look that I believe is very versatile, it reminds me of something I would wear to a baby shower or an indoor graduation party. Take a look.. Top: Forever 21, similar | Pants: H&M | Shoes: Dolce Vita | Bag: Chanel I love the lace up shoes. You can always stay on trend, not spend a lot, and still look…

Fashion Friday: Blazer Obsessed

Hello and Happy Friday! I literally cannot stop buying blazers, I just can’t! I’m not going to be happy until I have one in each shade of every color. Blazers always complete the look for me, and they do it so much better than cardigans most of the time. My next look is something I would wear out to lunch or just casual on the weekend. Take a look.. Blazer: ASOS | Top: Gap | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, similar | Bag: Chanel It was hard for me to pair the off white blazer with a white tank, but it just worked…

Motivation Monday

Let’s just be realistic for a second, Monday definitely needs all the help it can get. Not an easy day to start and not an easy day to get through, Monday sets the tone for the week ahead. It’s so important to be aware this morning on how you set your tone for the week. Before you get up, just think about all the good you do have in your life. It helps put the week into perspective. It’s always hard dealing with other people on a Monday. They’re just not as happy, not as excited and pleasant as they…

Fashion Friday: Pop of Color

Happy Friday everyone! Sometimes it’s hard just to make a casual dinner outfit. I thought it was important to share a look that’s both casual and well put together. Color really does go a long way. I started out with a very muted outfit and really was able to brighten it up. Take a look.. Blazer: Nastygal, similar | Blouse: Equipment | Denim: JBRAND | Shoes: Prada | Bag: Gucci This look was comfortable and something I would wear to dinner, drinks or even brunch. I like that the bright green blazer really makes the blouse pop. For an even more casual look, you could…

Fashion: Work Style

I haven’t had any jewelry inspiration lately, so today I’m going to talk about making your wardrobe part of you “workdrobe.” I think we all have a lot of staple items in our closet, for example, black/white go to blouse, black blazer, black dress pants, and LBD. These items can almost always transition into your work style. Here are a few of my most recent work looks… Blazer: Nasty Gal, similar | Blouse: Forever 21, similar | Pants: H&M | Shoes: Vince Camuto | Bracelets: SimoneJ jewelry Most of these looks are more generic than my usual more…

Motivation Monday!

Good morning! I thought this was a good metaphor for some of the things that happen to us throughout out lives. You always get pulled back a little before something really good happens. This quote also reminds us to be patient and to remember that anything that’s going on right now that may be difficult, is not permanent. Start your week off right and keep aiming for all the things you want out of life. If the present isn’t good, don’t dwell on it! Nothing’s ever perfect so just enjoy life for what it is. Have a very happy Monday…
