Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

With any quote, my first thought is always did this person really say this? Either way, whether Maya said this or not it’s definitely something she stood for. Being successful isn’t having all the money in the world, or having the most power, real success gives you satisfaction in yourself. If you have to lie and steal everyday, but it contributes to your promotion, how would that feel? I personally couldn’t deal with it. I would rather make $10 an hour doing something I love than make $100 a hour doing something that eats at my soul. From experience, I’ll…

Feeling like an Olsen in Elizabeth and James

Feeling like an Olsen in Elizabeth and James

Is it just me or do you feel like every piece of anything the coveted Olsen twins design is something they would (or would have) wear/worn?! I mean I get that they’re into the edgy bag lady chic these days, but I could see them wearing this top I picked out. Am I right?! I mean lets take a look before you make that decision.. Top: Elizabeth and James | Pants: Keepsake the Label | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel I mean this definitely isn’t an Olsen look, don’t get me wrong. But just picture this and even more…

Maniere de Voir x Schutz

Maniere de Voir x Schutz

I came across the Maniere de Voir on Instagram and I had to have this outfit. I loved the textures and mixed media that the brand offered. Today’s look is something I would wear on a cool Summer night and definitely into the fall. Lets take a look.. Top & Skirt: Maniere de Voir | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Chanel The embossed skirt and ridges on the neoprene top really make this outfit interesting for me. I’ve been trying to incorporate new textured items into my wardrobe that are wearable. I love that I could easily interchange the skirt and top…

Crop it Out x Helmut Lang

Crop it Out x Helmut Lang

New fave: cropped jackets. They’re the perfect Summer staple, especially on cool nights. I came across this edgy Helmut Lang jacket that I’ll definitely be wearing into fall. Let’s take a look.. Jacket & Tee: Helmut Lang | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel I’m a huge online shopper so I had to have this ridiculously expensive tee shirt because it looked so perfect (and comfortable) with the jacket. Totally unnecessary, I was actually able to purchase a similar tee from H&M (shopping confessions). The jacket was 100% worth it. I love that it’s mostly white…

Apple of my eye

Apple of my eye

SO this title is actually both literal and figurative. In the literal sense, my boyfriend kindly bought these Louboutins for me this past Christmas, which was overly generous (we usually don’t do crazy gifts). Figuratively, apples are red and so is my pop of color LOL (I’m totally laughing as I right this right now because I can’t even deal with myself). I’ll stop the babbling so we can take a look at this outfit that I’ve already gone way too in detail about.. SOS girlfriend CANNOT walk in these shoes. Whoops, I guess I should stick to 100mm heels. Whatever.  Jumpsuit:…

Cold Shoulder.. Literally

Cold Shoulder.. Literally

Ice queen right here, I love this top but MY SHOULDERS ARE COLD. Lol half kidding it was beautiful out when we shot this look, so no I was not cold. I would never wear this out to dinner at night, because the chances of me being cold are high. Anyway enough of my always freezing issues.. I do love off the shoulder tops and this one is no exception. Lets take a look.. fyi that’s my birthmark on my shoulder.. I like to think it’s shaped like a shark.. Denim: J Brand | Top: Forever 21 | Bag: Chanel…
