INVESTED

  

Hey guys! 

Today is officially the first day of Spring!!! Yay!!! Although the weather isn’t acting like Spring, I’m still excited for the possibilities lol. I guess it’s one of those things that you know are coming so you may as well get prepared. Weather is just like most things in life....just because it is here, doesn’t mean it’s reach it’s full potential. 

It is in times like this, the in between, that you have to be very careful to stay focused and motivated. While waiting for the breakthrough, it’s very easy to get distracted and loss focus on your goals. These are really crucial times and you have to know what to do to stay on track. For me this includes reading books and magazines, listening to podcast and music and reading blogs. I also like to go to fashion events in order to motivate me as well. 

So at this time, I want to encourage you guys to stay motivated, disciplined in your dreams and don’t let the wait stop the process. 

Until next time.....

Keep It Stylish,

XOXO

ALL RIPPED UP

Hey Guys,

This is my first post of 2018!!! 

How has 2018 been treating you guys so far? 

It’s been amazing for me even through my trials I find some level of calmness. 

Being able to finally control my mood and how I’m able 

to deal with situations is so refreshing. 

I started this post with this amazing quote that I read from 

Henry Nouwen because I feel that this is the main problem we have with being happy, 

always looking for happiness somewhere else. We take a lot of things for granted and then wonder why we can’t accomplish what we want. So for 2018 I have committed to embracing the things I have and enhance them: relationships, career, finances etc.

Realizing that we can control our own happiness is key to 

moving forward and letting life happen in a positive way. So with that being said.....

let’s level up in 2018!!!

Until next time.....

Keep It Stylish,

XOXO

FUR REAL

Hey Loves,

Hope all is well with you guys. I would like to start this post by thanking you guys for 

following my blog. I am truly thankful that you guys choose to follow me and I am committed 

to bring you guys more content. I hope that you guys have enjoyed my post and I also 

hope that you will enjoy my journey.

Now let's talk trends. I know a lot of people try to stay away from the 

because the life cylce is so short lived but I love trends. I agree with the idea of having 

classic pieces that won't go out of style but I also love having fun with trends and mixing them 

with my classic pieces. They just add a extra spark to traditional looks

One of my favorite trends this season is the fur trend. Not that fur is a trend because it is a 

very classic material that has always been in style but the trend of using fur from everyday casual pieces. I feel as if this brings an elegance to a piece that people would normal deem casual. 

When we think of fur and sequin, we tend to think of black tie affairs and night on the town out. But this new trend of using these materials as everyday pieces allows us to wear them any time we want. 

You can wear it casually with sneakers or dress it up with a heel, I love it!!!

What I have been noticing is that fashion is definitely going more in the direction of 

maximizing your wardrobe. We are playing more with taking traditional materials and using them in different ways. Designers and retailers are pushing the evelope of what is normal in fashion and embracing the fact that there are no rules in fashion. This allows more creativity, more individuality and the ability to do your own thing.

Until next time.....

Keep It Stylish,

XOXO

GIRL GANG

Hey Luvs,

It's me again! It's that time of year again. When the weather is acting bipolar 

and you're not sure how to dress. In order to not confuse myself too much, one of my rules of

 thumb is LAYER, LAYER, LAYER. The reason I love layering is because it allows me to 

take things off and add things when needed. In the morning it's usually colder 

which requires a jacket or sweater. But later on in the day the temperature 

rises and you can just wrap the jacket around your waist

e or throw it over your shoulders. 

For the most part, my underneath piece is usually a long sleeve shirt. 

But that also depends on the weight of the jacket I'm wearing (i.e. long sleeve with light 

weight jacket and shorter sleeve with heavier jacket). This not only helps with me not looking out 

of wack but also with maintaining a certain consistancy of comfort. I have a high 

tolerance for heat and am always cold so more than likely you would always 

see me with some for of jacket close by.

Another thing I love to play with during this time is footwear. 

I lovvveee shoes!!! It doesn't matter; boots, sandals, pumps.....I love them all. But 

naturally people tend to only wear sandals in the summer and boots in the winter but 

what's fun about the transitional season (Spring/Fall) is that you can get away with wearing 

anything. Who would think you can wear an open toe bootie or sandal with a jacket? 

I can! I love dressing outside of the box and breaking fashion "rules". A pair of 

booties with shorts? Why not! For me fashion is all about having fun, 

making and breaking rules and introducing who you are 

through your clothes. 

What are some of your rules of thumb for transiting outfits?

Do you tend to follow fashion "rules" or dress outside of the box?

Until next time.....

Keep It Stylish,

XOXO

CRUSHED VELVET

Hey Loves,

It's finally that time of year......the end of summer beginning of fall. 

I am so excited for some of the new fall trends and to play with transitional outfits. 

As I've been looking at different stores and the merchandise they have for this season,

 I am really loving stretch boots, the 70's inspiration (which I must say is one of 

my favorite fashion eras) velvet and puff coats. 

One style that I can't wait to try as a transitional piece is SHORTS. 

This is so surprising to me because I rarely, more like never, 

wear shorts but I'm very excited to incorporate them into my outfits.  

For me this season is all about trying new things and

 turning it up a Notch!!!

What are some of your favorite trends for the season? 

What are some of your go to transitional pieces? 

What are some trends or pieces you want to incorporate into 

your wardrobe that you would have never worn in the past? 

Until next time.....

Keep It Stylish,

XOXO

Hey Loves,

Hope all is well with you guys. 

Hopefully everyone is enjoying your summer. 

I just wanted to share this post of this really cute sheer dress I brought last year at Zara. 

It was one of the first pieces in this trend that I saw. 

Honestly I shot this picture last summer but never posted it 

(hopefully you can see the difference in weight, lol). I kinda forgot about it 

but then on the other hand I wasn't too fond of the way I looked in it. 

But then I decided that it's cool to show yourself vulnerably. 

This picture was one of my motivations to get fit and I have been 

on my weight loss journey every sense. It's been a journey, 

full of ups and downs, but I'm happy I started. Although I 

have a long way to go, I've came a long way and have no plans on 

stopping. Okay enough of this rant, I hope you guys enjoy this look. 

Feel free to comment on any 

struggles you have with weight or insecurities. 

Let's chat!

Until next time.....

Keep It Stylish,

XOXO

KNOT SO NICE

Hey Luvs,

Hope all is well. I am currently doing some research 

and was hoping some of you guys can help me. I am interested in knowing 

what you guys like to read when you look at blogs. Is it all about the 

pictures and outfit details or do you guys prefer more content? 

Are you interested in information post such as how to look for outfits, 

how to put outfits together, where to shop, etc? Or would you rather just random 

discussions about life? Also what is it that make you follow a blog? Are physical blogs going 

out of style? Do you guys prefer more social media interactions and post? Feel free to 

comment on this post about what your preferences are. 

I really appreciate any feedback. Thanks!!!

Until next time.....

Keep It Stylish,

XOXO
