Jackets are probably one of the most fun and playful pieces anyone can have in their closet. The right jacket can make such a statement that you don't even need accessories to add to the look and that is why investing in statement pieces like jackets is super important. It really gives you a chance to feel comfortable, have fun, look chic, and show off your personality. I got this from a website called piper lime a while back and unfortunately they went out of business but I was lucky enough to steal a few amazing pieces to add to my wardrobe before they did. I love the velvet sleeves on this jacket--it is what makes it so amazing and unique. Since the jacket has sort of a grunge feel to it I naturally paired it with a pair of leather leggings and black booties to really pull everything together. As long as you have a unique jacket in your wardrobe you can do anything. They are so versatile and can be dressed up or dressed down so easily. Play with it and have fun, you'll be surprised with how everything comes together!
It's been a while, and I'm happy to be back! I love finding ways to express myself in creative ways and this blog has really helped me do that. I plan to update on a regular basis now, my schedule has been pretty hectic but this is a passion of mine and I hope after you read my posts I will leave you feeling inspired. Don't be afraid to chase your dreams and conquer your fears because it's possible--you just have to be confident, find a way to express yourself in a way that you love, and just do it! Hope you enjoy! Fur will always be a trend in my eyes, I instantly feel chic when I put any article of clothing on that has fur incorporated into it some way or some how. Especially in these cold months it is hard to stay warm and look our best. That is why a fur coat is a necessity in everyone's winter wardrobe. This fur coat is a show stopper and I'm so happy that I found it a few months back at Forever 21 for a whole whopping 20$! The stripe turtleneck; also from Forever 21 is a staple piece in my wardrobe and it's also super cheap which is always a plus! It's the cheaper pieces that always end up being the most important in our closets. For anyone that knows me; you know I love accessories and color which is why this BaubleBar statement necklace was a match mate in heaven! It goes with so much and has really been a fun piece in my wardrobe. There is just something about rings that I love lately, they're so much fun to play with and I could honestly wear one on every finger and not even care. Pleather pants always have been and always will be one of my weaknesses. They are perfect for a night out on the down or to glam up a day-time look like I have here. You just can't go wrong. NYFW Fall 2016 runway shows were to die for and fur, black, and of course accessories are something that I saw in most of the shows--they will never fail you or your wardrobe! Get My Look:

This past year has been nothing but a blur to say the least. I really lost myself and have been struggling to find a way to make myself a better person. As most of you may know, I lost my little brother to his battle from brain cancer back in February. I never thought I would ever have to deal with something so painful in my entire life. You just never really have time to prepare for something like that. I find myself very lost, angry, and confused at times and I wish that I didn't feel like that, but it's normal. Some days are dark and some are lonely and I don't think that feeling will ever go away because I lost such a special person who can never be replaced. I really want to take the things that I have been through to help touch the lives of others around me. So, this is why I decided to share this with everyone. Zach was one of a kind. For anyone that knew him could easily understand what I mean when I say that. He had a heart of gold, he was strong, wise, determined, he was just an amazing person. I have never in my life met someone who had impacted me as much as my little brother did and still does. Any situation no matter how bad it was he always found a way to turn it around and make it positive. Through all of the struggles that he went through not once did I ever hear him complain. Zach was just full of life with every intention to touch the lives of those around him. Yes, some days are extremely difficult and sometimes it almost feels impossible to get up in the morning because my heart feels so heavy. Some days are harder than others and I am really angry and sad but whenever I find myself feeling like this I ask myself "Would Zach want you to feel like this?" The answer is no, he wouldn't. He taught me how to be strong and he did it for a reason, because he knew he had to. He doesn't want me to be angry because he is no longer with us, he wants me to be happy and take the things he taught me and allow them to make me a better person. Zach is destined for greatness, and I am so thankful to have known and learned so much from such an amazing person. When I catch myself feeling angry or sad I take that energy and I channel it to something that makes me happy. Fashion has always been one of my biggest passions and I recently started at Wayne State this fall and it has really helped me focus and bring out the best side of myself. Zach was a firm believer and one of my biggest supporters of my dream and I know it makes him happy to see me pursuing my dreams. Fashion allows me to express myself, be creative, and has brought out the better side of me and I love that. If there is something that I have learned it is cherish every moment because you never know when things can change, and it only takes the blink of an eye. Appreciate the little things, because they matter. If you're having a bad day just always remind yourself that someone out there has it worse and being negative and angry will not change anything or get you anywhere for that matter. Remember that life is short so don't ever hesitate or be afraid to be who you are or follow your dreams. There is a quote that I found and I read it every day just to remind myself of these things: "All gifts in life come from directly above. Living in the presence is the ultimate gift, full of promise and possibility. Allow yourself to be open to life's greatest moments without taking anything for granted. Seize your opportunities and realize that you are divinely and completely blessed everyday in every moment." Zach taught me so many amazing things and I try to take those things to allow me to get through my dark days. It is extremely rare that someone at 20 years old can change so many lives, but that was one of the amazing gifts that my brother was given and for that I am forever grateful. We all have our days, and it's okay to be sad or mad but just try and channel all the negative energy on something that makes you happy and you will be in a better place. I thank you Zach for teaching me so many amazing qualities and believing in me, I am a better person because of it. I know we all have someone that we look up to in our lives. Whoever it may be try to take the things that this person has taught you and allow that to make you a better person. I promise you won't regret it. |
Tis The Season of Everything Sequin
Oh the holidays are near so it's obviously time for all of us to jazz up our gear! This is always my favorite time of year simply because there always seems to be an excuse to get dressed up. I am a huge fan of sequins, sometimes they can be a bit too much but I love a good sequin top or jacket and in this case--leggings. I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of sequin leggings for the longest time now. When I laid my eyes on these puppies in Express I knew I had to have them. It is hard to find sequin pants or leggings that compliment the body nicely and you can always count on Express to have just what you are looking for, it never fails. I tried to keep the rest of this look rather simple due to the leggings having so much going on. So, I threw on a black plain tank top and a perfect tailored black blazer. A black blazer is a staple piece that every girl should have in their closet. It is one of those pieces that when in doubt you can always turn to. To finish this look I threw on some black booties as well just to try and keep things simple. But, for anyone that knows me knows that I love color, so I threw on this blue beaded necklace just for a little fun pop of color so everything wasn't too plain. Sequins are fun, flirty, and so glamorous and I think they are perfect for the upcoming holidays. So, everyone go out and purchase something with sequins to give these holidays a little extra spunk. Hope you enjoy! | |
