What will you be rewearing the most this summer?

Summer 2013 is here and in full effect! That summer fashion has been out for awhile now and if you're anything like me, you've most likely established what your wardrobe consist of. Out of everything I've purchased for my summer collection, I would have to say that my light denim vest is my favorite piece. I love pairing it with my summer dress, skirts, shorts and even just sporting it on the beach with my swimsuit. It's a great neutral fashion additive that I hope sticks around for another summer! The denim vest is a must have this season.

I recently started a fashion page on Instagram for my own daily inspiration. I think this a great and simple way to get your preferred styles out there for anyone to view. And even though not everyone will agree with your fashion sense, it's you're own perception of style. You have to be daring and sport what you like to build that individualistic sense of fashion. These a basic looks but much more on and to come on my IG :) lets support each others style expressions!

Fall fashion right ahead!

I'm slowly seeing new trends coming out for fall. There's always that black tight, black boots and black blazer look that can't fail to stay on trend now and will certainly stick around for fall 2013! Always accent the black look with the right accessories like this floppy hat below and wear a light toned under shirt. Make the style your own :)

Orange and Pink: Do I wanna look like a grapefruit?

Some color schemes seem to just not go together and make you look like a fool. I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about how orange and semi hot pink would look together since I recently bought a new orange blazer that I have only worn with a black top. (post my look tomorrow!)

"You'd look like a grapefruit woman!" -Friend. I think the two colors would actually compliment eachother very well. It may not be daring for many fashionistas out there but this was a look I've never tried before. I usually stick to basic colors and make sure to accent them with simple tones. Orange and pink: definitely on my two color combinations I will be sporting this summer.

What do you think and are you down to look like a grapfruit with me? ;)

Daddy's little girl fashion sense?

Fashion thought today: So this weekend's father's day. What will you be wearing when celebrating the father figure(s) in your life??

I tend to put a lot of thought into the fashion I choose on a daily basis and especially on those special occasions. I came across an outfit that I thought could be perfect for a father's day event, granite the weather is sunny and warm. When I spotted it out, it resembled the perfect dash of femininity and innocence but maturity. Check it out and let me know what you think....  http://pinterest.com/pin/258464466087496081/

I cherish father's day since I am so grateful for the father I was blessed with. My dad is such a good hearted, generous man who would give back to the less fortunate even if it left him homeless. He was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and after an intense surgery and agonizing time frame of the unknowing results, he has been cancer free for a year!

Happy Father's Day All

Embrace your Passion: First Blog Ever :)

"I dont believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be" -Ken Venturi

Bam! That's when it hit me. I'm working a 9-5 Monday thru Friday job which I'm grateful for but is this really what I am meant to do?! I then began thinking what I've always loved doing through out my life, even as a child. Sure, working out and living healthy a life style has been very important to me since I was about 5 years old but that is my past time, hobby activity, not what i want as career.

The one thing that stuck with me was my passion for fashion and seeing how each person I walk by embraces their own indiviual style n some way. And my favorite part of every morning before work is picking out my outfit work and even what I'll be wearing to the gym later that day :P I may not like everything everybody wears but hey! who am I to judge their style. That's what they like and that right there is awesome! Fashion is one of the simplest ways we can boost our confidence.

A fashion collection I recently became intrigued with after my sister bought me this dress was a Kardashian Kollection. It covers curves in the right places, shows elegance and sexy at the same time and being 5'2" with an curvier athletic type build, I fell in love with my white Kardashian dress. This is one collection I will definitely be keeping an eye out for.

This is my first fashion blog :) And I would love to know what your favorite fashion trends or general style ideas are and even what you absolutely dread today! Can't wait to hear!
