Ice Ice Baby

My area got hit with a winter storm and the morning after I decided to capture some of it's beauty. It's funny how something so dangerous could be so extremely beautiful.

Coffee Shop Junkie

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE to venture out to coffee shops as much as I can. If I could live in a coffee shop I would. Something about the clinking of coffee cups, the sound of the expresso maker, that coffee shop vibe music, and at the same time, the stillness of it all, makes me so relaxed. My favorite coffee drink? Vanilla Soy Latte extra shot please. 

Cobalt

My mom bought me this beautiful long cobalt wool coat from a random boutique when she went to NYC. I was really proud of her. I wanted the jacket to really pop so I wore a neutral palette that consisted of this really cute pastel pink tiered dress and to incorporate texture I put on a fitted faux fur vest. To top off the look I added a floppy felt hat and a pair of simple nude heels. I'm currently obsessed with Alex and Ani bracelets and I have yet to add more to my collection. If you don't know about them please look them up. It's one of those things where when you start and can't stop. Help me please.

Asymmetrics

Decided to chop of the long hair for the New Year. I was going to do a traditional angled bob, but I wanted to do something a little different so I opted for an asymmetrical angled bob. I love it because it elongates my round face, has an edgy look and is a the perfect outfit topper. Thanks to my boyfriend for getting me a Nikon for Christmas. Can't wait to shoot more for the blog!

Lost and Found

After profusely looking for my leather jacket, alas, I found it! Wore it to work the other day with a white V-neck, boyfriend jeans, plaid shirt tied around the waist and my favorite ankle strap heels. 90's grunge chic can you say?  

Day Off

.

Nothing is better than a day off and putting on your favorite jeans, a white tee, a flannel, and your favorite fall boots to run around in. I covered up my obvious bed head with my over-sized knit hat and I don't think anyone noticed. 

I finally had a day to catch up on.....laundry. Woke up early this morning to see my little sister off for school then ran quick errands that needed much to be done. Came home made lunch for my beautiful friend Natasha and I and just had girl time in the afternoon since we haven't been in each other's presence in so long. Now here I am sitting at my usual spot in Panera studying drinking hazelnut coffee instead of a latte because their expresso machine is down. Like seriously? I need my expresso.

Service for Your Lips

I don't know about you guys, but with the cold weather coming up, my hands, hair, face, and lips become extremely dry. I can not go a day without lipstick and during the winter time, to keep my lips in perfect condition for lipstick I use these two products. It takes less than 5 minutes!

Fresh Sugar Lip Polish : This product is pretty much the "good stuff." Take a little dollop on your finger and scrub it all over your lips. I like to do it twice a week. The formula is rich and you can instantly feel your lips being conditioned right away. Then rinse off with warm water and your lips will feel super soft and renewed.

Bobbi Brown Lip Balm :  Put this under your lipstick or wear it by itself and your bound to have moisturized lips all day. The reason why I love this lip balm is because it's not sticky and you don't have to reapply all the time. The formula isn't glossy nor is it matte, it leaves a natural sheen for healthy looking lips. Apply this after the "Fresh Sugar Lip Polish" for the perfect compliment.
