Sheer-Tings

I’ve really been into black lately (as you can tell from last week’s post) lol. Something about it is so sleek and edgy whether dressed up or down. So this past weekend this look was perfect for heading to my favorite brunch spot in the city with friends. I decided to go ALL black but played it up with different textures to add a little structure and pizzazz.   

Summer-Time

It’s officially summer in NYC. Whoop…..Whoooooop. J My favorite time of year here. I’m so looking forward to spending my weekends hanging with friends, at festivals, day parties, beaches and doing all the other random things one can stumble upon in the summer. While it won’t reach the 90’s until July, I’m loving the spring feel in the air especially because I can throw on a pair of my favorite jeans and an off the shoulder top and call it a day. Quick and easy!

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.

Plaids

I love mixing patterns and prints. For today’s look I did it in a very subtle way, but still love how comfy and fashion forward this look turned out. Plaid has become somewhat of a neutral for me because the possibilities are endless when styling, which I love. What’s your favorite way to style plaids?

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.

 

Dear New York

Missing home just a tad bit today. I promise you any transplant New Yorker would tell you the same thing. It’s like you love this city and hate it all at the same time. Some days you just need to take a quick break and press restart, if not the city will consume every bit of energy left in you. This is my new home and I don’t regret moving here for one minute I mean after all my life has been nothing short of amazing since moving, but home is where the heart is and some days you just miss it. I guess it all just takes some getting used to and in the year and almost a half I have been here I’m sure you could say I have a lot more things to learn. Here’s to New York!!!!

Relaxed & Casual

Isn’t it lovely when you can find the perfect pair of relaxed jeans? To be 100% honest I don’t wear jeans too often, just because I find it so difficult to find a pair that fit exactly how I would like. Now, don’t get me wrong having a great pair of jeans in your wardrobe is a fashion must so I will say I love my high waisted jeans and skinny jeans. But when it comes to relaxed and casual yeaaaaa I have not hit that mark.  So when I snagged these bad boys I literally wanted to shout (insert church music). They have the perfect amount of give and are so relaxed and casual. They can be dressed up with a pair of heels and down with a great pair of booties like I did with today’s look.  #Score

On another note, I have literally been living in olive colors this season (see previous posts). The color compliments so many different skin tones. So just FYI you may see a lot more of it.

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.
