Marble Fur + Bronze Boots

Rise and grind loves! If you’re anything like yours truly, you’ve watched the New Edition Story about three times and NE greatest hits have been in heavy rotation on your Spotify playlist. Now that all the older millennials have come home from our trip down memory lane it’s back to our regularly scheduled programs.

Since I spent most of the weekend trying to avoid this cold/flu/plague that’s been circulating snatching everyone around me, I’ve decided to bundle up.

Today’s entire outfit was planned with this coat in mind. This “marble” faux fur is about ten years old and holds a special place in my heart since it was purchased from Daffy’s, one of my all time favorite stores.

Although they’re no long in Philly, this coat will forever bring back great memories. Underneath, I’ve kept it simple with a camel turtleneck and black skinnies. Bronze over the knee boots put the final nail in the coffin.

Who else is ready to “kill it” on a Monday?

Taupe Tunic + Chocolate Leather

It’s Friday aka the end of the work week and it’s December, aka the Friday of months. By God’s grace we’ve pushed through these previous eleven months and now have an opportunity to end this last one strong. I’m exactly two weeks into thirty-three so my new year has already begun.

I have no intention of waiting until January 1, 2017 to make any neccessary changes. Death to procrastination! Winter coats on the other hand, they give me all sorts of life honey! For today’s look I’ve pulled my brown shearling coat out of hibernation as temperatures are colder now.

This coat is the perfect outterwear for my cowl neck tunic. This type of sweater is a fall/winter staple for me, especially when paired with skinnies like this brown leather pair. I opted for flat brown ankle boots, because comfort, and completed the look with oversize accessories for a 70’s feel.

 

All these shades of brown look fablous in this winter sunlight, not to mention on my skin. Remember, winter weather shouldn’t cramp your style. Here’s to a great weekend loves!

So it’s been five days and now that I’ve done a shoot I’m finally ready to share the good news here on the blog…. I’M ENGAGED!! Ahhhhh (insert every emoji all at once), you guys I swear it still feels like a dream. I’ve randomly burst into tears quite a few times over the weekend and my cheeks literally hurt from cheesing so hard but nothing compares to this feeling. I can only imagine how I’ll feel once we say I do!

This past Friday my best friend Jason of the last 9 years popped the question. It took place at my apartment shortly after watching the most recent episodes of Suits and The Blacklist. I wish I could say I was decked out in couture – instead I was in an old t-shirt, fuzzy leopard pajama pants, and mismatched Nike socks. Did I mention my wig was off? Yep, conrows on deck, no scarf, ha! Of course no of this mattered to him. I was a hot, coughing, sneezing mess and to him it was perfect.

I will most likely add a new section to the blog to document our story and our journey to the altar. For now, I just wanna bask in this moment and enjoy my fiancee. Today’s look is all about glamour, something that will surely be evident at the wedding. All black everything keeps is clean and sophisticated. My sequin pencil skirt is balanced by chic basics and topped with a vintage Mink fur to add sophistication. This Rose gold, 1 ct. pink Morganite engagement ring is the perfect accessory to any ensemble. I am beyond happy with his selection. Gosh you guys, #Love16  now has a whole new meaning! XOXO

Cable Knit + Shearling

Hello Darlings!

This week has been darn near apocalyptic on the east coast. We’ve gone from below freezing Valentines Weekend, snow Monday, to 60 degrees Tuesday. All of which has resulted in my severe head cold and frog like voice. Thankfully, I am able to stay wrapped in warm layers and heavy coats. Today’s look features the best of both! This chunky cable knit sweater dress (which you’ve also seen in gray) is just what the doctor ordered. I’ve paired the cream with a chocolate shearling and matching boots. I may feel crappy but a cold doesn’t stop pretty. Til next time, XO!
