‘Tis’ the Season to Slay

Happy Holidays!

Hope you’re having a great week so far! This time of year is such a lovely time. It's a reminder  to look at the good in things. I had a rough time this year, but this time of year lifts my spirits despite the loss I've had. Here’s my top favorite things about this time of year:

1. No classes! ! This is my number one reason to slay right now! I don’t have to wake up and keep the stress of staying on top of my work. You may not have school anymore, but maybe you have children or young family members that you get to spend a little extra time with, if so, slay with them with fun holiday pics. So ladies, take this break to slay (even if it's your favorite holiday PJs)!

2. Spending time with family and friends. I had sooooooo much fun spending time with my friends and family that I don't get to see as often as I like. I'm a firm believer in soaking up quality time with the people you love while you still can.

3. People are much nicer. I went to NY last week and have never met so many friendly people there! This time of year, people have no choice but to be nicer

4. The beautiful views! I love the lights and decorations that is all over! Fun Fact about me: Sometimes I take the long way home just so that I can see the beautiful lights.

5. The treats! Who doesn’t like a good excuse to eat cookies or drink eggnog?

Where the Wild Things Are

Hi loves!

Does anyone love animal print as much as me?! I think NOT! 

I'm super obsessed with animal print, especially leopard. It's one of those things that will NEVER go out of style for me!

Sometimes we have to take our minds where they wild things are to dig a little deeper. I took myself to the jungle with this leopard print shirt that I wore for Thanksgiving.

Wearing this print is a reminder for me to stop looking at my spots as a weakness and use them as my strength. It's also a reminder to fight for everything I want out of life. It's rare that you will find a starving leopard because they put their fear to the side and fight for the food that they want.

"Inside of all of us is hope, fear and adventure; Inside of all of us is a wild thing."

Jumpsuit Addiction

Sometimes we get addicted to the things that work for us. My addiction for parties lately has been jumpsuits.

I've been invited to many birthday parties this year and my go-to look has always been a jumpsuit! How can something be so classy, yet so sexy at the same time!

For my job holiday party, I didn't want to stray away from classy, but I wanted to get away from my favorite work style of a skirt, blouse and a cute blazer. I literally wear that look everyday with a remix of course. I felt like a jumpsuit would give me the perfect classy look that I was looking for.

I found this outfit on the day of the holiday party for only $18! The perfect look, for the perfect price???? The jumpsuit came with the an amazing neckline which meant I didn't have to search high and low for the perfect necklace!

Good Character and Efforless Looks

Happy Monday! 

In my early twenties, I still find myself juggling time. I happen to be the busiest person I know! Even on a day off, I have a day filled with EVERYTHING to do.

One thing I struggled with after staying so busy is: being on time. We all hear the saying that "You are what you do, not what you say you'll do." Sometimes we just don't really understand how deep it actually  goes; you're being dishonest. You said one thing and did another. How can someone take you serious? How can someone rely/depend on you? How can someone trust you? Although our intentions were good, we didn't actually keep our word.

Since I long to stand for good character, I prayed that I could become someone that people could depend on in times of need. I started by going to church on time. Next, I'll demonstrate this change by trying to arrive to work early daily.

I also tried to keep my word with my family. For example, I went to sleep at 4am, woke up at 7am and told others I would meet them by 7:30am yesterday morning. That means I was crunched for time! Not only did I not have my things packed, but I had to drive 15mins away. When I drove onto that parking lot like it was a racetrack around 7:30am, I really shocked myself!

I'm still questioning how I managed to pull off an effortless look, with no sleep and still continuing to keep good character at the same time.

I went for my current go-to favorites: a grey skirt, white button-up blouse and a hat.

How do you practice staying true to your word??????

Style Crush: Kim K - Grey & Neon Yellow

Hi Loves!

A new fun fact about me is that I have many Style Crushes! My top style crush is Kim K.

I can always appreciate her style! I'm a fan of her essentials, from the black blazers to the high heels. Kim can always make a black blazer work, whether she wears it dressed up or dressed down. She, like myself, isn't too tall so incorporating heels to give a little extra height, lengthening our legs is a MUST.

Here's the perfect example of my style crush with a black blazer and heels:

What Kim Wore:

Dress- Kardashian Kollection

Heels- Tom Ford

I got inspired and remixed the look! I wore a shirt and skirt as my recreation instead of a dress like Kim.

What I Wore:

Top- Target

Blazer- F21

Skirt- Bebe

Heels- Lola Shoetique

 

 

Comfy & Chic

Hi Ladies!

I L I V E for a comfy and chic look!! I love to be absolutely comfortable, yet sexy and fashionable at the same time. There's so many different ways to switch this look up.

For example, I added a jean jacket around my waist. You could also wear this look with Chuck Taylors or sandals to switch it up.

I L O V E D adding the heels with the sweats. Sweats with heels are a match made in heaven!  It's just something about having the best of both worlds! If it's chic and comfy, count me in!!!

Be Inspired,

Xoxo,
