Embracing My Hair

There was a time when I wanted straight hair, but the funny thing is, is it wasn't always like that.

Fall Music Playlist Inspired Outfits

I love music videos and infusing my personal style into my musical life seemed like a perfect fit.

Trench Coach

You like the name? Clever right? I'm wearing a trench coat and holding a Coach bag so ‘Trench Coach.’ I thought it was hilarious, but ...I’ll stop now.

I basically lost the feeling in my fingers and I’m not really sure if that’s good or bad. I had to jump in and out of my car just to take these pictures without wanting to curl into a ball and cry, so I think a congratulations to myself are in order (…jokes).

You have got to see the first and second set of photos I took. I am a literal blur. But it’s this below freezing temperature that is responsible for my craziness. This weather has been all over the place lately. What with us having a cool fall breeze on Christmas Day and then it dropping 5 degrees everyday thereafter, and then it rising and then it falling…you get the point.

By the time I took these pictures, wearing peep toe heels seemed border-line insane, but when it comes to my attempts at learning how to use my Nikon, insanity seems to be the key factor. However, it’s not as hilarious as me wearing a gold necklace in hopes that it would shine brightly against a white shirt. In theory, it seemed like a great idea, but in actuality, not so much.

Shaggy

Forever 21 Shaggy Plaid Top / Rebellious One Liquid Leggings from Macy's / Forever 21 Asymmetric Ribbed Cardigan / Express Wave Cuff / Aerosoles Gather Round Boots

Beginning a personal style blog has been a long time dream of mine and after spending a year refining my blogging techniques over at Duty Free Critic, I thought it was time to just go ahead with the personal style blog, full force.

I took these photos recently for my Fall Lookbook on Youtube and I wanted to go for something comfortable, but something that was also fun and different. In the wintertime, I try to go for loose, yet somewhat thick tops like this shaggy plaid top from Forever 21. And of course, you just can't go wrong with this pair of faux suede boots from Aerosoles. For those of you who have skinny ankles like myself, this is perfect. They are comfortable, look great and take two seconds to throw on.

I love these pictures especially, because it was actually raining when I took the photos and what ended up being a nightmare to shoot in was actually a blessing in disguise; these photos have this mysty fog in the background that made the photos

Do you love this outfit as much as I do? Let me know in the comments.
