OOTD: 80’s Inspired Athleisure
For years I avoided the whole leggings and athleisure trend. I just didn’t think of leggings as “bottoms.” However, I’m happy to say that even though I’m well into my thirties I continue to evolve. So much so that for me, leggings are now a weekend and travel staple. You’re probably wondering what it was that finally made me eat my words and jump on the bandwagon. In one word, airplanes. Over the last few years I’ve spent a good chunk of time flying back and forth, and here and there. Airplanes are notorious for being cramped and uncomfortable, and as far as I’m concerned, they are cold too. I’ve…

Street Chic-Sweats & Leggings: OOTD
Let’s face it… who’s not obsessed with atheleisure wear? Even us none athletes have made leggings a weekend staple. I mean they are so comfy. But just because they are “athletic wear”, who said they can’t be street chic? Sweat what? For every Mom-on-the-Go, appropriate leggings are a must!! And I think that I’ve found them. I purchased these leggings with a leather stripped detail from Fashion Nova a while back. They pair so well with any top. They are made out of a heavy cotton/spandex blend, so they are super stretchable and breathable, yet warm enough to wear in the winter months. Definitely the epitome of Street Chic! Distressed…

OOTD: Cheetah Print Cardigan
A Walk on the Wild Side Cheetah print is one of my favorite colors. I mean what is there not to like?! Ok, so it’s a pattern and not a color, but it is truly a basic neutral that every woman should have in her closet. The right piece of cheetah can take you from work to play and everything in between. Until recently I was on the hunt for the perfect cheetah print cardigan. My search recently ended when I found this cardi at Old Navy. This super soft cotton cardigan features long sleeves with rib knit cuffs and a crew neck, making it workable for year round wear.…

For cooler winter temps my basic weekend wardrobe consists of a sweater and jeans, but who says a…

OOTD: Nude Heels and Chunky Knits
For months now I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect brown girl nude heels. It was nothing short of a Christmas miracle, but a few weeks ago, after trying on countless pairs of shoes and nearly giving up, I found my match! I was browsing the Cyber Monday sales on some of my favorite websites when I came across these beauties. The lesson here, even when things seem impossible, don’t give up! When I saw these babies, it was love at first sight! They had everything I as looking for. The perfect heel height, at 3.5 inches, the right color and the right material. Personally, I prefer suede to…

One piece, Five Looks: Cheetah Print Loafers
My wardrobe is filled with classic pieces in neutral colors. There’s a pop of color or pattern here or there for good measure. But I enjoy mixing and matching simple pieces and combining them with accessories to complete the look and bring it to life. Recently, while scrolling through Instagram I came across an ad for Birdies Slippers. The moment I laid eyes on this cheetah print pair I knew I had to have them. There was just one little issue, this particular pair of shoes was a little pricier than what I typically like to spend on flats or loafers. I put the purchase on hold and decided not to…
