Carrot Top

Hi my loves!

I teamed up with photographer Ben Kulo (click) for this amazing shoot. 

I've been a huge fan of Shrimps since I was in high school. For their Fall/Winter 15 collection they showcased a pvc trench coat with a bright yellow fur collar and I thought to myself "I NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON ONE!" When I found this trench coat at a thrift store for $15, I immediately thought of this DIY project!  I attached my orange fur collar from Boohoo and wallahhh-- my own version of Shrimps' beautiful trench coat.

Thankful

Hi my loves!

I cannot believe it's been a month since I last blogged. I have been super busy lately and also my computer is kind've messed up so it makes it a little difficult to post. 

As you all know today is thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. I am amazed at how blessed I am. Now, I may not be exactly where I want to be but I am sure on my way and I truly believe that timing is everything. Sometimes we get so caught up in where we want to be and the "what ifs" that we don't stop and cherish the now, this moment. 

I leave you guys with this: Appreciate your journey and remember that where you are right now is exactly where you need to be. Growth take time.

Reality Check

Hello my loves!

I am back in New York from my getaway to Dominican Republic and to be honest, I didn't want to come back. I mentioned a few blog posts ago that when I travel back home I come back a new version of myself. Visiting puts things into perspective. I had a reality check while I was there. Sometimes we put our dreams aside because we get distracted in our daily life. In my case, I had been putting my career as a Wardrobe Stylist to the side because I was caught up in everything else. I realized I needed to do what makes ME happy, even if that means taking a risk. 

I'm truly obsessed with these culottes from Olly Oxen Free Vintage, not only are they chic but they go with pretty much anything. I took them with me all over my trip, hahaha! I even wore these on my birthday.

Happy Friday!

So ya'll know I love to mix prints and color block but, Monochromatic dressing is so much fun and super trendy! Cobalt blue is definitely THAT color. It's bold, vibrant and classic.

Criança Selvagem

Happy Sunday! I hope you all had a great weekend ♥ I had a pretty hectic weekend from work to one of my closest friend's baby shower, to now packing for my trip. I am leaving to the Dominican Republic on Tuesday and I have not done any packing what so ever! In the middle of all of this, I still took some time to hang out with my friend and have some fun or maybe I am just procrastinating! Hahaha.

I have always loved carnivals/street fairs since I was a little boy. The lights, the food, the people, and all of the fun-- I just love it! Moving on to my outfit, I wanted to be really comfortable. A muscle tank, distressed shorts, and accessories are the way to go.

The Color Purple

Happy Wednesday everyone!

According to Crystal Cure (click), Purple is the color of good judgment. It is the color of people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Also, the color purple represents meanings of creativity, wisdom, dignity, pride, independence, mystery and magic. I was really inspired by the color purple when putting together this outfit. 

I wore this on Monday to do some shopping with friends. Since we were going to be in SoHo, I figured we'd be doing a lot of walking (and I was right, haha!) so I decided to wear sneakers. I've expressed my love for these sneakers before but I just can't get enough! They are so fashionable, comfortable and I can literally pair them with anything!

PHRESH

Today, meet one of my favorite pair of sneakers. I've had these sneakers for about 5 years now and I'm still in love with them as much as I was when I first saw them. While my wardrobe has been inundated with loafers, oxfords, booties and slip-ons, I thought a good ol' pair of Nike Blazers would be a bit refreshing. 

On a different note, I am so happy it's Friday! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Comfortable Chic

My cousin invited me over to her house to hang out and meet her daughter(I actually invited myself, haha!) It was amazing to finally see her considering the fact the we were once inseparable! Since I was going to be around a baby and doing a lot of walking, I wanted to dress comfortable yet chic. This is what I put together! 
By the way, these sneakers are SUPER comfortable! I am so obsessed with them!
