Aviator Girl



Wearing

Blue Paisley Pant: Forever 21 | Aviator Shirt: Michael Kors | Purse: Vince Camuto | Sandals: Forever 21 | Statement Chain: J. Crew | Sunnies: Gap Inc. | Pearl Earrings: The Limited






I am in love with the brown/blue color tone pair. For some reason these two colors schemes when paired together seem to enhance my overall style. 

{hence why we've been seeing a trend} 

I paired this simple aviator tee over a pair of paisley printed trousers and was very pleased with myself, thank you! Added in my signature cognac tones with my accessories, and a little sparkle, and voila! Perfection.

Feeling Catty!

Feeling Catty!







Chic, bold, and yet with a touch of classy elegance. This look is perfect for Sunday brunch on the beach, or maybe an afternoon trip to the mall with lunch. the bold neutrals of black mixed with leopard, and the added chic of the glasses and bag makes the look to be overall perfect.

Spot On



Wearing

Dainty tri-ring: Old Navy








Happy Friday everyone! 

I put this cute number together for a casual day at the office. Something simple, yet cute and chic. Love the mixing of bright emerald tones, and the cute polka pattern on the pants! Makes them way too cute to resist. Mixed in with easy cognac and gold tones, and voila! easy causal style, which is great for all day comfort. 

On this particular day it was extremely HOT! But thankfully a lunch break out on the lake, is not too shabby. Added with the helpful benefit of great friends <3

IT BAG

IT BAG





I've had this bag for a little more than a year now, and I must say -- I have never loved any purse, the way I do my carry-all tote by Michael Kors. The blue/navy colors is the perfect neutral giving my bag an versatile look time and time again. Plus, who wouldn't love the luxury of all that space?!

Black Pant Remix




Wearing

Black Pants: The Limited | White Studded Blouse: Forever 21 | Oversized Link Bracelet: Michael Kors | Midi Rings: Forever 21 | Optics: Ray Ban | Multi-Colored Clutch: Vintage Fendi | Blue Flats: Madewell 






Remixed

Hot Pink Purse: Merona for Target | Leopard Pumps: Shoe Dazzle 






Life isn't about getting what you want all the time. Its about loving what you have. Its about living in the moment and being grateful for those around you. Its about being who you are and enjoying every minute of it. Its about loving yourself and those around you. Life is what you make of it, so live it & love it. You only get one chance.

I love the idea of remixing your favorite pieces into different looks. It only lends to expand upon the pieces you already own in your closet. This look was adapted for both casual, and spiced up for a night on the town. 


The black pant with coloful clutch, and blue flats lends and easy casual air to an already cutesy outfit. Alternately, spiced up with leopard pumps and a hot pink shoulder bag -- and you're ready for happy hour, or dinner with the girls.


Plus I love the pop of the pink, wit the elegance of the leopard.

For You

These words are for you:
Love. Because your love, when given in its entirety can move mountains, or bring a grown man to tears. It can make me, a lost and lonely individual, believe in true love. It can make me, fearful and distrustful, believe in true love.
Beauty. Because you can spread this word and all it can encompass through the world. Because you are everything that is beautiful and more. Because you can bring beauty to those who need it most. Because to you the world is beautiful. But mainly, because with You here, the world is beautiful.
Hope. Because before you I was lost, and now there is hope. There is hope for me, and there is hope for you. Because without you the world is a dark lonely place, but now there is hope. Because now, I am capable, because with you, there is hope.
Heart. Because yours is the biggest and most encompassing of all others. Because yours cares for others, and yours is beautiful. Because yours makes you who you are. Because yours can change others and make them love more than they knew they were capable of.
Soul. Because you are the other half of my soul. My very being. My existence is lost without you. Because without you I am incomplete. Because without you I am lost.
These words are for you, because they describe your self. Because I know you better than I know myself. Because you are here, and because I am capable of anything, because you are with me.
You deserve what the world has to offer. Never settle for less. Because you are remarkable and you are lovely. But because above all else, you love me.

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day



Wearing

She’s like the seasons. 

She comes and goes throughout my life, 
but is always constant. 


The year starts miserable and cold 

because the Sun is missing. 
She’s gone and a its a lonely bitter place to be.


But the snow eventually melts and the world is reborn. 

The Sun is back and she brings flowers in her wake. 


Spring has arrived. 

There is life and beauty. 
And it’s because she is there. 
She is the Sun in a barren landscape
that needed warmth and love. 
She is everything that is bright and lovely. 


But the year progresses and soon 

the weather is hot enough for all day play outside. 
Summer is here. 
The Sun is loving everything and everyone
 it can get its hands on, 
and life continues on this beautiful playful path. 
The Sun in vibrant and brilliant. 


The year continues

 and the summer playground
gives way to the autumn sorrow. 


The leaves fall. 

The sun doesn't shine as hard. 
There is a sadness lingering in the wind.
 A foreshadowing of some sorts. 


The wind is pushing the last remnants of summer away. 

And soon we have winter, where the Sun is leaves yet again. 
The world is a cold lonely place, and there is nothing but bitter loneliness.

Lunch Time Adventures

Purse: Chanel | Rings: Etsy | Flower Cuff: J. Crew | Gold Watch: Michael Kors 
Sunnies: Gap 










Ever have a group friends that just, get it. 

Considering I live at home with 3 of my best friends [being my sisters] I have always had tremendous difficulty maintaining female friendships. Women are tough to deal with -- they can be viscous and mean and catty. This type of behavior is typical amongst sisters -- so not a second thought is given.

 But when raised among sisters who do not tolerate this behavior from others "outside the pack" -- things become complicated and difficult when attempting to make "friends" (never thought I would actually need those). 

But oddly enough, even those of use who are constantly surrounded by women -- we still need girlfriends. Women you can share your day with and cultivate a mutual bond . Women who you can vent your frustrations and who will laugh with you ||not at you||. These type of women are hard to come by. There are so many differing factions of women, that sometimes it's hard to find your niche.

So for years I got used to the quiet solitude of just myself and my sisters (which is by no means quiet). But you can't be alone forever. Every woman needs to have her friends of the female variety. 

I seem to have collected an eclectic mix of girlfriends. But each of these women brings something valuable to the table, and together we make our own little group of misfits. 

{Not quite here, but not quite there} 

We understand each other -- although we all come from different backgrounds. We genuinely enjoy our time together and can easily pass hours with just simple conversation and deep-throated laughter (the kind that bubbles up and comes bursting out -- uncontrollably). 

You guys make me feel normal. You make me feel as though maybe, {just maybe} things aren't as bad as they seem. That maybe I do have my own niche -- I just had bring it together myself. 

Our lunch time adventures have come to be {easily} my favorite part of the day. 





Life is simpler. 

{Easier || Better}

With each of you. 

xoxo
