Hi everyone! Sorry I was absent last week – I took a trip to DC for a work conference and took Friday off to explore. You can see my excitement via this instagram and this instagram. It was so much fun, and my first time to DC. I stayed...

Chunky

Outfits

Today I am teaming up with Amy from Coffee Beans and Bobby Pins! Be sure to check out her post here! I am in love with this shoe trend because chunky heels, whether or not I like to admit it, are much easier to stand in. Granted, these heels are pretty tall, but still fairly easy to walk in surprisingly. There are tons of ways to style chunky heels, but when I saw this pin on Pinterest I knew I had to recreate it and that it would be the perfect look with my Jeffrey Campbell snakeskin print heels....

Double Stripes

Outfits

I once tried to pair stripes together, but I don’t think it was as successful as this. I think a thin, basic black and white striped t-shirt would look great with any thicker striped cardigan, blouse or cover-up of another color.  I am thinking that even though I feel guilty about what I spent this month, at least I am already wearing some of my purchases. When I wait too long, it usually means it just doesn’t work in with my wardrobe. Anyway, I always talk about adding interest to my work outfits and for yesterday, the longest work...

Leopard & Red

Outfits

Started off the week right with a little leopard and red. Nothing better than being able to wear this pairing at the office! I hope you all had a wonderful week and hope you enjoy the weekend!

Vintage Loving

Outfits

You don’t have to spend a lot on your clothes. I LOVE thrifting and finding great vintage finds for two reasons. 1) You can easily find unique pieces that everyone and their mother won’t have 2) Quality items at a LOW price

I didn’t want myself to purchase anything clothing related until I had completely cleaned out my closet.  But...

Metallic Shine

Outfits

Last time I wore this shirt (seen here), I paired it with a neutral bandage skirt, so this time I wanted to add even a little more to already bright and loud patterned top, so I added a bit of metallic shine with my pencil skirt and gold sparkly flats.  It was one of those days that I just needed to wear flats to work, and this bow tie sequin gold pair along with my leo flats are my go-tos (even though you’ll usually see me in heels at work). A simple braid on both sides and I was...

A Little Bit of Everything

Outfits

Brighten Your Day

Outfits

My work uniform during spring and summer almost always includes a pencil skirt and pumps and when I need a little something extra, I go for a bright patterned shirt like this one that I recently found at H&M.  Layering a couple necklaces and adding a bracelet, it is an easy, comfy ensemble that wears well throughout the work day! Happy Friday Eve everyone!

  • #ad Sharing a new blog on how to get this twisted braid, beachy wave hairstyle! Thanks to @natureboxbeauty, I know my hair will be frizz-free all summer long using their 100% Cold Pressed Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. What’s cold pressing exactly? 🤔 Cold pressing oils is the process of using extra pressure without excessive heat to extract the natural oils from fruits and nuts without chemicals or hot processing. Nature Box™ has a variety of shampoo and conditioner sets that include cold pressed oil from coconuts, avocados, apricots, almonds, and macadamia nuts. The set I got is exclusive to @cvspharmacy! You can get the full hair tutorial on Rachel’s Lookbook at www.rachelslookbook.com! The link is also in my profile! #ShopNatureBox #beauty #hairstyles #linkinprofile #summerhair
