Let's think PINK

When you see pink what do you think of? I think of cotton candy, Chanel, my childhood ambitions and so on! And although I swear I no longer love the color pink, I can't help that it continues to interject itself into my life. Who can live without pink? let's be honest, no one! T H I N K P I N K.If you know me, you know that I'm not the biggest fan of the color PINK! Although this is very much true, I can't help but gravitate towards pink articles of clothing. Whether it's shoes, jackets, dresses, jewelry etc, I have a thing for pink when it comes to my wardrobe! My cousin and part-time stylist, Carmelo introduced me to this beautiful faux leather and shearling by Opening Ceremony! I mean look at it, how could you not fall in love with the color pink after seeing this? It's reversible too!Carmelo's fashion choices for this look stemmed from the idea of a versatile look that's both cozy and fashion-conscious! And I couldn't agree more with his decision.  I love how comfortable this look is! I mean, joggers a turtleneck and an oversized coat with a beanie! All the comfort that I could need! Goes to show that fashion doesn't always have to be over the top, you can still look cute while being comfy! I sure did. And I was warm too which is always a good thing!Let me know in the comments below, how do you feel about the color pink?Photographed in Lucky Rolls in Englewood, NJ

November Fashion revolves around Food

When I think of November I think of beautiful and colorful leaves, scarfs/hats and most importantly...food. The feast that I wait for all year, Thanksgiving! But my next most important thought is finding outfits that will cater to  that feeling that makes you think you are going to explode after picking up your 3rd plate of food!I like to believe that there is always something to be thankful for. No matter what may not be going your way, what issues are on the horizon or realizing that the year is almost over and you only accomplished 2 out of the 23 goals you set! Be thankful! Thankful to be alive and in good health, thankful for the people that love you and even the ones that don't! Thankful, that God has allowed you to see another minute on this earth. Whatever it may be, just be thankful!My promise to myself from this day forward is to always find something to thank God for even if it "seems" like everything is going wrong!One out of the several thousands of things that I'm thankful for this year is this space and the people that constantly help me improve it! I love blogging, I love creating new ideas, outfits, and more! I love staying up late at night with my notebook planning out the next month and what I want to showcase here! It's exciting and has helped me grow in ways I didn't think I needed to. So for today's post I'm going to focus on how thankful I was that this outfit exudes comfort in a casual yet stylish way, because God knows we all like to be cute on Thanksgiving, but it's not cute when you're busting out of your pants! Details down below!I pray that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Fashion x Food | Brand Collaborations

There are two things in life that one should not live without... one is fashion and the other is food! Read all about my wonderful brand collaboration with these fabulous women!I was approached by my co worker for this brand collaboration, her name is Jess, and she's amazing! Currently she's running a gluten-free blog that has my tubby self craving her gluten-free recipes! She truly goes against the stereotypical belief that gluten-free food can't be good, because from what I've seen and heard about her recipes, gluten-free is the it thing!I have always loved fashion. The creativity, the originality and the way that it can carry a conversation. Similarly, I feel the same way about food. Coming from a Latin family, food is most definitely the center of almost every conversation we have! So why not combine the two! Start a conversation that will last for hours, days, years, it's only right!For this brand collaboration I had the pleasure of meeting two entrepreneurial women, Merica and Sufia! Merica, designer of eco-friendly knitwear that can easily transition from the comfort of your couch to the middle of the dance floor. I love fabric that breathes and makes me feel as if I'm not wearing much! Her knitwear does just that, I could of relaxed in it for hours! Now although my taste buds can't handle much hot sauce, I was so eager to meet Sufia of Silly Chilly Hotsauce! Her go-getter attitude is truly inspiring! I just love me some determined women!WE set out for a beautiful lunch feast in Van Vorst Park! Turned one too many heads and truly just enjoyed each other's company! I'm looking forward to the next time I can meet up with these ladies!Whether is hot sauce, knitwear or a gluten-free recipe you just have to try, check out what these ladies are up to! Special shoutout to Krumville Bake Shop and Another Man's Treasure for being apart of this shoot!Breads & quiches @krumvillebakeshopSauces @sillychillyhotsauceTable cloths & jackets @amtvintageKnitwear @shopniaclothingStyling @shopniaclothingPhotography @umeglutenfreeProp styling @umeglutenfree

Army Green, an instant Fall Fashion trend!

Not even going to lie, I know that everyone is pretty much fed up with the weather and waiting for it to officially be Fall, but outfits like this wouldn't be possible if Fall were in full effect. Need a color that can make your summer outfit look Fall-ish? Add army green to your closet and you've got an outfit that's instantly a fall fashion trend!I would always mock certain parts of the United States that would pick out "Fall" items when their temperature never drops below 65 degrees, but after these two styles, I envy them a little. They get to experience summer in the Fall! And yes, I know that everyone in the tai-state area is currently hating the temperature, but trust me when I say you can still make Fall work, even when it's still warm!The key is, make fall colors work with summer-ish outfits! Army Green or Olive Green, whichever you prefer is the black of Fall! A somewhat neutral color that everyone should have or want in their closet! So whether its a green bag, hat, jacket or shoes, this particular color will make any outfit feel Fall-ish!I loveeeee a casual look, I may be extra and over the top at times, but I'm truly a lazy girl at heart! So any time I can make an outfit that could easily be changed into my pajamas or lounging clothes I'm all here for it!

I know this isn't exactly the fur coats and sweaters look you may have been wishing for, but at least some of your fall clothes will get use before Christmas!
