perSUEDE others this Fall

I love an authentic compliment (what girl doesn’t?!). I hate when people just say they “loooove” (hence the extra o’s, you know you’ve heard this faux compliment) something you’re wearing, when you’re feeling so basic/hate the outfit you got going on. This suede jacket/blouse/EVERYTHING item for Fall is the polar opposite. This is an eye-catcher that anyone can rock and that everyone will love (the real love)! Take a look.. Top: H&M | Dress: Zara | Shoes: Dior | Neck Tie: Zara I always seem to accidentally channel my inner Jackie O (see below). From the necktie to the layered, boxy…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

In each stage of my life thus far, I’ve learned to take things less and less personal. First, it was in elementary school, I learned not to take it personal if someone didn’t want to be my friend. In high school, I learned not to take it personal, if a teacher or coach got upset with my class or team. Today, I continue to learn not to take it personal, if someone doesn’t want to collaborate with me or join my team at work. It’s a beautiful thing when you realize it’s not always about you. I don’t think I…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

It’s so important to live with purpose. Don’t get me wrong, it’s never easy to be excited for a Monday, but you have to give yourself something to look forward to. You should accept and enjoy the shitty parts of life (ie. work, school, Mondays) to truly enjoy all the fun events and memories that you get to make. When I’m feeling cranky about a 6am workout, I remind myself of all that I have and all that I have to look forward to. If I feel like a day at work is going to be extra exhausting I make…

Are You FUR Real?

Are You FUR Real?

Fall, fall, fall. To get into the swing of the cooler weather coming, there are certain key items that you have to dig out of storage/you closet or invest in. The first one is a fur vest (faux or real pick your poison). Lets take a look.. P H O T O G R A P H Y : Amanda Elle ‘Sheem’ – whoever you are, your graffiti at this beautiful place is NOT COOL. Sweater: H&M | Denim: Paige | Shoes: Christian Louboutin | Bag: Chloe In between Summer/Fall and Winter/Spring a nice warm fur vest will save your style.…

Fainting because FALL

Fainting because FALL

So maybe fainting is quite dramatic, but you all know me so you know that I’m being sooooo ridiculous over dealing with the fact that Summer is over. But like any Simone would do, I made the best of it by coming up with the chicest pre-fall look I could think of (and from what I had in my closet). Lets take a look.. Top: C/Meo | Skirt: SheIn | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Earrings: Mirina Collection To start off fall I went with some heavier (material wise) items in my closet. I loved this red midi skirt when I…

White Now

White Now

Now, literally. Lades just start piling on all your white this week because Summer is basically over (so depresso). I mean that’s probably totally dramatic, but really wear through all your white this week because Summer is coming to an end shortly. My rule of thumb is, if it’s over 72 degrees you can wear white, if not, don’t. Let’s take a look at this white/cream look I assembled (its also perfect for a winter get-away)… Blazer: H&M | Pants: Forever 21 | Bralette: Miss Guided | Bag: Ferragamo If this look does not scream “chic niece of a retired…
