Crushed

What a whirlwind of a month it has been and I mean that in every sense of the word. Whewwwww Lord! You guys just don’t know. I don’t really want to go into too many details but I’m just so happy things have turned around and are looking up. One thing to always remember when you’re going through something really hard is there are people who are in tougher situations than you are. I know, I know it sounds sooooooo cliché, and the situation you may be facing seems so real to you, but if you can find some sort of light even for a millisecond during those tough times it helps. It’s so important for us to count it all joy and lean on our faith and trust in God. He truly is the One who fills us up and helps us.

I don’t want to sound like I’m preaching but God is sooooooooo good guys really, really, really good. On a lighter note, I am completely crushing over this velvet trend. I picked up these boots and a few others (soon to come to the blog) a few weeks ago and I am in love. They truly are perfect for fall and winter. I decided to pair them with this oversized sweater from Zara for a more relaxed feel. Perfect fall look! Talk to you guys soon. Toodles J

P.S. Omg guys I completely almost forgot to tell you I picked up Jefree Star’s highlighter “King Tut” and let me just tell yall when I say that highlighter is poppin it is P.O.P.P.I.Nnnnnnnnnnn ok thank you mammmmmm because that highlight goodness is nothing to play with. If you have a few extra dollars ($29 to be exact) please pick this up you will not regret it. I am wearing it in today’s look. Ok fa real bye!

Black Out

This past weekend was pretty awesome, I attended BeautyConNYC for the first time and let me just tell you it was a makeup lovers dream. If you’ve never been you have to go! So many of my favorite makeup companies were there Milani, Lime Crime, NYX, Luxie, Laura Geller, and so many more. Not to mention the swag bags were amazing as well as the freebies and discounted prices. I will definitely be going next year. The following day I got up with my favorite girlie for drinks at a cool little spot in Brooklyn. Across the street I spotted this red wall and just knew we had to snap pictures. So we did, and then enjoyed dinner and girl talk!

Can I Get A Two Piece?

One thing I absolutely love about the summer is throwing on a simple two piece and heading out for lunch, or dinner or breakfast. (I’m hungry while typing this lol) This city seriously has some of the best spots to grab a bite to eat. Sometimes I wish getting dressed up, laughing with friends and spending unnecessary money could be my full time job. Vain… a tad bit but who wouldn’t want that lifestyle J On a more serious note, I grabbed this 2 piece from Zara recently and I love how versatile it is. I can throw this number on with sneakers or sandals and I can dress it up with heels. This will definitely be on repeat so don’t say I didn’t tell you so.

Monochromatic Vibes

I seriously cannot get enough of this Olive color. So I decided to just plaster it all over my body  because it’s just that awesome lol lol. Keeping it very monochromatic in today’s post. I seriously love the monochromatic trend it’s easy and looks so simple and chic. Who wouldn’t love that combination? On another note I got an amazing new job this week that I’m still in shock about. God definitely answers prayers and comes right on time. So things have been busy busy busy lately with me jumping into the flow of it all but I am elated.

Simplicity

Keeping it simple in an all black fit today. With temperatures warming up it looks like New York will actually have a Spring season, which I’m excited about especially having temperatures in the negatives this past winter. Today’s fit was a no brainier sometimes it’s just easy to keep it easy . All black does just that. 

Stripes on Stripes

Because it’s only right I stand on a ledge and almost break my neck and scrape my knees while everyone walking by watches for the sake of a blog picture. Makes sense right? Perfect sense! lol the things I do….

Heyyyyyy everyone so happy to be back posting a new outfit. I like this two piece so much just because it gives me multiple vibes. I’m thinking office with a blazer, date night, out with your girls, meeting a new guy, or just because you want to get dressed up and look cute, that never hurt a girl right? It just depends on the occasion and how you’re feeling. You can pair it as separates or combine the two like I did today for a full on striped mix. Either way it’s a great fit to have in your closet. 

Transition

Good Day Beautiful People! And Happy February! What I love most about February besides Valentine’s Day of course, is knowing that Spring is right around the corner, a little over a month to be exact. It’s like I start itching to play with different colors and mix and match patterns and textures. So I wasn’t surprised at all when I came across this 60’s inspired baby doll top. I knew I had to it. I kind of say that about everything tho lol lol lol!!!!! Guess that’s the reason I’m a blogger. Anywho…. I love how this top is winter friendly but adds the perfect pop of cream to give it that Spring appeal. Not to mention it can be paired with just about any color under the sun and still work. That’s what I call a transitional piece! As winter is SLOWLY coming to a close and Spring starts peaking it’s head out during late March start looking for pieces that can be worn now and then to maximize your closet and get more bang for your buck.

 

2016

It’s officially 2016 can you believe it? A new year always brings a fresh start. This year I am looking forward to embarking on more projects than I have done in previous years. It’s all about being fearless and going for it even if it feels scary. I’m excited for a year of continued positivity, confidence, growth, and determination. 2016 will be great I decree and declare.  

Gotham Girl

They say everyone has an alter ego. A side they don’t always portray but you see it peak out every now and again. When it comes to style I think it’s important to have that. I mean come on who wants to dress the same every day of their lives. BORINGGGGGGGGG!!!! I think mine would be somewhere between punk rock skate board chic and all black all the time. My love for color just won’t allow me to make that happen every day. So, I am absolutely okay with channeling that side of me from time to time, which I did in today’s look. There’s something about wearing all black that leaves a hint of mystery and curiosity. Depending on how it’s styled you can go from sleek, edgy, and glammed up to Gothic inspired and relaxed. I chose the latter. I snagged these chunky suede OTK boots on sale 2 weeks ago and knew they were a little out of the norm for a girl who loves heels. But I figured they would be a great piece to add to my wardrobe for days when that all black skater girl chic decides to show up.

Chunky Knits

All black chunky knits and leather, what a way to say goodbye to fall and hello to winter. These peep toe knee high laced boots caught my eye almost immediately and their comfy too which makes them a number one fave in my closet right now. I love that they can be added to almost any look to add a touch of spizzazz!
