Looking for the hottest Spring Styles before the stores are sold out? Wondering what to look for?
Bold statement bracelets have not retired to the jewelry box this season, and you will be trendier than ever when you finish the outfit off with fringe adornments.

Wondering what color to get yours in? Antique and gold accessories are on the rise. You can't go wrong with the antique look!

This bracelet has been a long time favorite, the sides are bendable to fit any size wrist. This is something that I look for when picking out a new closet staple.

Fall is quickly approaching, which means the summer clothes are in their final days before they are sent packing out of my closet. One main transition staple that screams FALL is BOOTS!

Not just any boots will do; you need a fun, stylish, yet practical pair of boots to bring your outfit together.
I always start with my jeans and top, I complete my ensemble with accessories second to last, and of course my fav foot wear last.

I also keep my purse well put together in easy zip bags to easily transfer to the perfect purse for the day.
Now comes the accessories, wondering what items made the list of the HOTTEST accessories for this year? Here is a list of great pieces you can reuse time and time again in your outfits.


  • Druzy Necklaces & Earrings
  • Long Tassel Necklaces finished with a simple pair of stud earrings
  • Statement necklaces, make sure to choose to appropriate colors for the season
  • Fringe ankle booties
  • Fringe Purses
  • Oversized sunglasses

Local boutiques, and shopping stores make the perfect stop to stock up on your accessory pieces. I found this great featured Druzy Set from a local store Lil Rap; let's give them a page like guys and gals, to show them some appreciation for keepin it trendy!

How can I incorporate items I already have in my closet?

Great Question! I am glad you asked....
Dark denim is always a great choice, I prefer to keep the whisk marks to a minimum as you want to draw your outfit together. You do not need every item making a statement. Some of my top picks for denim this year are as follows, check these brands out!


  • Celebrity Pink Jeans (These are the softest jeans you will own, at a truely affordable cost)
  • Hudson Jeans (At the higher end of cost, but save up and get you at least 1 pair)
  • American Eagle High Rise Skinny (I own so many of these, and wear them at least 3 days out of the week)

How to wear the colors black and brown together?

Make sure when pairing the two colors that you choose complementing undertones used in the Dyeing process.

Some colors will feature cool tones, while others are constructed with warm tones
.

Check out the differences in the image here.

Food For Thought, A Bloggers Inspiration For You

7/22/2015

In just 2 quick days my 28th Birthday will be here, for me birthdays are horrible. I always manage to have something happen to me that make them unforgettable in not so good ways.

For my Golden Year birthday I received a nasty spider bite, that later made me really sick and led to a doctor procedure. The year following that I caught mono and spent a lot of time sleeping and feeling horrible.

I often look back on these experiences as I get older, I like to approach everyday as Expecting the Best, but Prepared For the Worst, as I am often dealt lemons.

This past year has been probably the roughest one yet that I have had all starting the night the year turned; losing two grandpas within 30 days, getting married during the last days that one grandpa was here, finishing my last semester in college in 8 WEEKS, dealing with chronic sinusitis, and deciding to free-lance work while completing college all pull my mind a million directions.

You may wonder how one remains calm, and finds the encouragement to face the continuing challenges that we are dealt.

I would not have been able to give you this any sooner.


  • Always begin the day well-polished, with your shower, hair and makeup. You never know what you will face each upcoming day.
  • Always be courtesy to those around you; their day may be going worse.
  • Always try to see both sides of every decision, argument, disagreement, or life changing decisions you make.
  • Don't put off any health concerns.
  • Respect your body, if you are sick YOUR BODY does need LOTS of REST.
  • Value family, and holidays.
  • Value down time, soaks in the tub can't always happen.
  • Keep a clean car, stocked with equipment for breakdowns.
  • Find the positive in your bad decisions, how did this affect the way of future thinking.
  • You can't change the past; apologize for your mistakes, and value what you have.
  • What's done is done; failed a test? It's done, work on improving all future attempts in the class 100%
  • Make a family tree.
  • Something lost isn't lost forever, remove yourself from the scene and come back and look for it.
  • Forgive and don't hold a grudge. It's a short life.
  • Value what you had in the past, to add value to the future.
  • Make your voice known and heard.
  • Apologize to those you've hurt, even if time has passed.
  • Love and value what you have, remove yourself from technology to embrace and reflect.
  • Find a hobby.
  • Give yourself free time.
  • Live every day to the fullest.
