Burgundy Vibes

Hi Loves,

I don't know about you, but although I love fall, I still have a hard time letting go of summer. Especially when mother nature plays mind games with you. One day I'm wearing shorts and flip flops, and then the next day I'm wearing pants and a jacket! (So confusing!) What better way to accept fall, than to bring it in wearing your favorite fall hue!

Nothing says fall/autumn like burgundy! When shopping for fall, the first color that calls my name happens to be burgundy. I head straight to the hat section and before picking up the black hat, I get the burgundy one.

Burgundy with black is cool, but burgundy with a color is GREAT! I love color blocking all year. My fall color blocking inspiration comes from mother nature herself! I had no choice but to accept fall once I saw the color changes right before my eyes.

I added a yellow-lime color with burgundy and it turns out to be favorite thing, "A match made in Heaven!" Seeing this match made me even more excited for fall shopping! 
 


 
To break up the colors, I added a gold and burgundy belt that I got from Express.
 

To complete the look, I added black shoes to match the belt and band around the hat.
 

What I Wore:
Hat Express | Top Kohls | Skirt Target | Shoes Lolashoetique

Wear it, Style it, Repeat: Superwoman

Hi loves,
 
On the journey of self-growth, I find reflecting and being 100% real with myself in order to mature to the next level. The more we lie to ourselves, the more we become stuck in that place.
 
Recently, I've put my super powers to rest in order to readjust them. At one point I did so much for EVERYONE else to the point that I didn't have enough energy to take care of myself. I would clean, take this person here, do this, do that, drive 1-2 hours to work, do homework, help others with homework, and then repeat the cycle of no sleep. I wasn't able to take care of me! I was late to work, gained weight, went broke, kept my room C R A Z Y, the list goes on! Superwoman can't properly use her powers if she isn't in good standings herself!
 
The only peace I found came from taking mini vacations. On my last flight, I traveled alone which allowed me to really pay attention with no distractions. After boarding the flight, I heard the flight attendants begin discussing emergency procedures for anyone traveling with a lap child. She said, "if you have a child on your lap, remember to put the oxygen on yourself, THEN the child." A little light went off in my head "ahhhhhhhhhh, makes sense! A lap child won't be able to save two people, while the adult can!" Like the adult, I felt like the only way I could utilize those superpowers to the fullest potential was to take care of ME first, then others!
 
To me, superwoman is constantly evolving, to be the best she can be for herself and others. She knows who she is and the things she's capable of. She makes mistakes, but she learns from them, as they are part of her growth. She thinks like a queen, never afraid to fail. Failure is just a steppingstone to her greatness.

Red, Hot, Blues!




 
 
When I think of red, I think of all things hot; I think of love, passion or fire.


"Never fear standing out, being bold, being phenomenal or being just you!"


What I wore:
Shirt: Bebe
Skirt: Express
Watch/Bag/Shoes: Michael Kors


Hi Ladies!

I mixed these colors for a fun, classy and chic look. Working in the business world in corporate America should NOT be an excuse to not incorporate your style and personality into your daily look.

I can't seem to get away from midi skirts or heels! As you can see, I live for prints and color. (Especially, fun and bold colors!)

Be inspired!

Xoxo,

Honeyy
