Fast Pairing

We are almost to the weekend! It's like so close, we can do it! This week as totally kicked my butt!

I've said it a million times "a good color palette in a hurry can make all the difference". There are many times we run around like crazy people in the mornings and are trying to get ready for the day. Having a certain color palette in the back of your head for a morning that may not be going as smoothly as you had hoped can be a life saver. Here is a no fail color combo and one of my favorites. Perfect for fall.

I hope this Thursday greets you with a strong coffee and perfect eyeliner!

Martini Time

Honestly how is it already Friday??? It would be true to say that this week has been a complete catch up week. Between shoots, work, and closet construction talk (construction starts next week, eeeek!) it's been nonstop! So I'm going to take a second and use this Martini Moment to talk about the things I'm totally loving this week. First is Harim Pants! Gah! These fab gold ones are so amazing and I've had them for a bit and finally whipped them out to head to a shoot. Call it my Fall sneak peek, but get yourself a pair like now. These beauties are from Zara. 

Now let's talk jewelry. First, this Kendra Scott necklace is everything! I love the pearl color it goes with everything and I love the legnth. Next this Simbi bracelet  is also a fab white color that goes well with a stacked look or alone and a lot of the proceeds go to giving water and jobs to Haiti. 

And also...

Happy National Lipstick Day!

The Last Piece

Happy First Day of Summer! 

"And I thought I would have time to blog!!!" This I found myself saying while laughing the other day to a friend of mine. After making the decision to work full time with my photography company, I thought that maybe I would have just a smidge more free time. That, is now a pretty funny thought to me. It means I have to be faster than ever! The pace at which my life now moves is absolutely crazy. I am by no means complaining and it's a good problem to have but this explains my absence.

For this Monday morning lets talk fashion and styling! Often times we find ourselves (maybe say, on a busy Monday morning) rushed but needing to look fabulous. In those moments it's very easy to end up spinning in circles and wanting to burn your chosen outfit within the first hour you wear it. Trust me we've all been there. So I'm going to provide you with a tip that has saved me countless times. I've used this for years and years. I call it "The Last Piece". Let's say you've put on a cute dress, shoes, and paired it with a nice handbag. It's a good outfit, but could be better. That is when you reach for The Last Piece. Options include:

Blazers or Vests (I'm a personal fan of the vest, swoon!)

Hat, Scarf, or Statement necklace

Button Up or Chunky Sweater (weather pending of course)

Adding one of these things is the perfect way to kick your outfit up a notch. Here are some examples.

Now let's all saunter in to the week with vigor! Or at least a really big coffee. Ha!
