Proenza + Studs






Express Editor Pants- Urban Outfitters Studded Gloves- Proenza Schouler for Target sweatshirt

I obviously had to jump on the bandwagon and purchase this sweatshirt like every other fashion loving female out there! I am so glad I did. What a fun  but casual way to dress up an outfit. And these gloves? How fabulous are these! There was no way I could pass them up, especially for $9-score!

Happy Friday Loves

Thursday Thoughts

(Photos Via Pinterest)

As you all know, I have been absent from my blog for a while due to life's struggles challenges, for better words. I understand everyone needs to struggle in life to really appreciate things in life and let me tell you, I have been through quite a bit of struggle and had many challenges in my life and when a good thing comes along, I most definitely appreciate it a hell of a lot more after going through the tough times. 

At this moment in my life, I am trying extremely hard to focus most of my attention to my blog, blog photos and also getting my styling portfolio together so that I can get my Styling Website up and running. My dream in to become a stylist, for photo shoots, magazines, help people with their wardrobe when needed etc etc. I have put together photo shoots while living in Atlanta to style and now I am working on doing some test shoots in Maine to get my portfolio to the way I like it.  Sometimes I get frustrated because living in Maine, I don't have the best opportunities within the Fashion Industry to really get my foot in the door with the styling/blogging life. I have to step back and tell myself, I am here in Maine at this time in my life for a reason and I just have to accept that and let God do his work and eventually things in my life will fall into place. Obviously sometimes I don't want to hear that but in reality, I have to believe in it. 
Anyways, I have decided to dedicate Thursdays to "Thursday Thoughts". It motivates me and keeps me grounded to read these quotes, and to share them on my blog for you all to read, I hope that it will motivate you and keep you positive in your lives as well, as you could be going through challenges/struggles just like me. 

I hope this helps you as much as it helps me!

If any of you have any advice for balancing out real life with blogging, I will gladly accept it! =]

The winter Blues






Blouse, boots & earrings-Express, Jeans & watch- Guess

While taking these photos, of course I was having the winter blues. Right now I am enjoying the warm rainy day we are currently having. Im in the middle of cleaning, doing laundry then heading to the beach tonight & enjoy my day off on the beach tomorrow to clear my head and get my thoughts together.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am working hard on keeping up with my blog because I miss it and I really want to take this more seriously. Let me know if there is anything you want to see on the blog or have me talk about =]

The End of Melancholia






 "The End" Tee- Zara, Red Skinny Jeans- Express, Sneakers-Guess

I spotted this shirt on Zara and knew it was meant to be. As you all know, I have been going to therapy (minus the last 5 months, go me!) to get all the negative junk out of my head and body. I went for a little over a year and let me tell you, it literally saved my life. I recently went to see two Shamanic Healers, its spiritual therapy just a little more intense. You can read more about it here.
It was definitely an interesting experience, but it also helped me heal faster and close some negative doors in my life in order for better doors to open. I am on my way to a healthier, happier lifestyle and cant wait to share that life with you all! Hope you are as excited as I am!

Like I mentioned yesterday, this week is all about throwback photos. Im sure you noticed, there is snow on the ground (yuck!) thank GOD there is no snow on the ground now, that would be awful!

Speaking of Awful, my thoughts & prayers go out to everyone in Oklahoma and surrounding areas being effected by the tornadoes. It truly breaks my heart hearing about the tragedies and hope for a fast recovery.
