fashion friday: accessorizing your winter wardrobe

“Buy something because you love it, you need it, and you will use it” — Rachel Zoe

Not only do I completely adore Rachel Zoe, but I completely agree! I immediately think of accessories when I read this quote. Accessories come and go with trends. Too many things we “must have” end up being wasted because it wasn’t a good buy. Do you all remember the choker stage? Or what about scrunchies? Nowadays, you would be struck down if you were seen in public with those. I am a firm believer in buying accessories that are timeless. This winter, some of my favorite looks are trending once again!

These accessories consist of leg warmers, clutches, & GOLD GOLD GOLD!! Below are some tips in buying these items:

Leg warmers – Everyone looks presh in leg warmers. But to make them trend longer, buy classic colors like black, cream, or even a light sparkly pair.

Clutches –  Clutches are brilliant & almost always chic. When looking for a clutch, be realistic. If you carry everything in your room in your bag, pick something bigger. I also suggest picking leather clutches or one’s with a black and white color palette. This way, it will match with more!

GOLD –  I am a sucker for some rich gold pieces. I am especially a fan of a short gold chain look like below or even a nice statement ring. Gold, to me, makes any outfit look much better!

Lately, I have been obsessed with Courtney Kerr from Courtney Loves Dallas on BravoTV. She is the queen when it comes to accessorizing!! To find inspiration, visit www.thecourtneykerr.com. Her photo is above. 

Have fun with your style this winter! Here in Florida, it doesn’t last long.

happy thanksgiving

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey

Oprah said it perfectly. Today, I woke up on this beautiful & chilly day in my home, Pensacola, FL, with a lot to be thankful for. I have a roof over my head, shoes on my feet, family down the street & lots of food to eat! Life could not be better. 

I hope you & your loved ones have a happy & safe Thanksgiving. Please, don’t forget about those less fortunate during this holiday season. Since working in nonprofit PR, I have found that it is our job to lend a helping hand & make this world a better place. The smallest act can make the biggest difference. Believe that.

P.S. Now, what would a holiday be without a precious pug photo?! My obsession continues! Sorry, not sorry.
