I have been living here for about 3 and a half years and I think it is time for a serious re-do. My main colours were white, grey and a pop colour ( I chose teal now I regret ). Right now my apartment is all over the place and I feel like it is contributing to my lack of creativity lately. I have literally been staring at the same shit ( give or take ) for awhile now and some have to go.
Some of the inspiration is from Ikea, H&M Home, Urban Outfitters and I even included some photos from Pinterest to give you guys an idea of what I was going for.

PINTEREST INSPO:
There is literally like a whole category of images that I saved for inspiration from pinterest. That website has EVERYTHING you need on there. From beauty, home, etc. You name it! I actually got the idea of my "capsule wardrobe " from another blogger BUT I came across examples and ideas from pinterest. Which shouldn't come as a surprise to any of you lovelies! The downfall is that my apartment is carpeted so I have to try and work around that. I wish that I could actually pull up the carpet cause I seriously hate it!
Well there you guys have it...I will bring you along when I start the revamp process. Debating on whether or not I should wait and see if I find a bigger apartment ( fingers crossed for a 2 bd one ) if not then I will settle on a 1bd with maybe a Den? Who knows!

Fall is my happy Season. I personally think that I create more content in the Fall because I am all snuggled up either at home or at my favourite Coffee spot. Why? Let's be honest here my wardrobe is built for the Fall + Winter months. I don't really like Winter but I do love outerwear. With Fall comes the need for bigger bags (I tend to got really quickly) to shove things into. Although I would normally just hold whatever it is in my hand so it doesn't weigh my bag down. As someone who prefers writing in a journal over carrying my iPad or laptop everywhere having a backpack makes life easier especially with all the walking that I do (currently my form of exercise lol no shame).
Have you guys ever had to step back and evaluate why you started to do something in the first place? That has honestly been me this month. I took another step back to re-evaluate why I am still blogging. But then it dawned on me. Because I fucking loved it! Along the way I lost why I loved blogging in the first place. It was my escape haven from my shitty reality but after awhile I felt like I was becoming a blur. Nothing was making me happy and I wanted to hide away from everyone and everything. Not anymore! I am putting myself back in the blogging community! I am working towards losing the weight I gained when I was going through a depressing phase in my life. I feel like I am in a happier place in my life. I wake up in a good mood. I am smiling alot more without faking it & when I look at myself in the mirror...I am happy with the woman I have become.
With that being said look forward to more regular scheduled posts again! Plus I will be taking a weekend trip up to NYC for my babes Ingrid's birthday! Also my love Chae is visiting from Seoul and I cannot wait to finally meet her in person! Vlog's to come! If you guys love my bag then you could use code "lefashiojia15" for 20% off of your purchase! I actually have been using this backpack everyday since I got it! It's made with strong durable vegan leather (because I cannot own real leather) which is perfect for my everyday use. Plus thinking about taking it hiking with me! Happy shopping!

Hello, guys. I wanted to share something really personal for this post. I wanted to talk about when I stopped loving myself. I am not sure when it started or what triggered it but I found myself turning to food more often to satisfy the sadness that I was feeling. Which lead to me hating my body because of the weight that I gained & not wanting to shoot for my blog because I hated how I looked in the photos. It hurt. I was neglecting my readers which made me sad which lead to eating again. I was driving myself crazy. Why was I sad? What was triggering my sadness? I didn't know but I needed things to change and let me just say that is exactly what I did! Thanks to Realer I have literally changed my everyday thinking. I wake up in a better mood and willing to make the change I need to become a better person.If you guys do not know about Realher let me tell you guys about this wonderful brand. Realher is all about loving who you are and expressing that having individuality is key. Being a blogger individuality is key. I create posts to stand out from the now over saturated platform. Their motto is "I Love Myself--Just The Way I Am ". I wake up every morning with this as my mantra. Every piece of their products is engraved with an inspirational quote to make every woman feel their best. The pieces that I received said:
" I Am Unique "
" I Am A Rockstar "
" Do Your Squats "
" Be Fearless, Be Limitless "
" I Am The Storm "
" I Am Loved "
Realher donates 20% of their profits to AAUW ( American Association of University Women ) to support programs for Women and Girls. How amazing does that sound!? The items that I currently own are: Click the name to buy!

I am not sure when it happened but I am kinda over the whole having a massive bag to carry all of your shit phase. I was over carrying so much stuff that weighed down my shoulders and leave crazy indents. It's annoying and I am over it. With that being said I wanted to share this minimal bag that I recently got when I went to Urban Outfitters. They were having an additional 40% off sale items and since I already have a small black bag ( numerous ones ) I thought having a Taupe one was a better choice and boy was I right. I have been using this beauty everyday since I got it so I know my money isn't going to waste!
I have gone ahead and linked some similar ones down below for you guys to shop! Feel free to thank me later!

News: I had the unfortunate pleasure of catching the flu unexpectedly. Which completely sucked. I had no energy to do anything and I also went through numerous amounts on tissue boxes. As I am typing this I am still a little sick. You know the dry cough and runny nose has become like second nature to me. On another note. I am back on my blogging grind! I am excited I shot like 3 looks yesterday and I will be shooting another 3-4 today hopefully.
Plans: I don't really have plans yet. I don't like making plans when I am or have been sick. BUT I have been checking the weather for this week and it's supposed to be in the 70's and I am beyond excited! Not really about wearing black everyday to work. I love black but not in 70 degree weather.
Shopping: Since I have been sick I haven't really done any shopping BUT I really wanted to record my Haul Video. My voice wasn't there at all. I do have a few things that I want to share with you guys. I will get around to it I swear! I will be adding a shop my wardrobe page so it will be easier for you guys to purchase straight from my blog! It will make it a lot easier.
Watched: I have started watching " Melissa & Joey " again and I don't know why I never saw it before but it's kinda similar to " The Nanny ". Very similar. Both Fran and Joey are The Nannies right? Worked a few years for their employers right? Both fall in love with their employers right? They get married and BOTH happen to have TWINS?! Why have I not noticed this before? LOL.

I have been eyeing so many bomber jackets and of course other jackets lately. I kind of have a slight obsession with jackets all together. I have so many of them and I really don't know where to put them.
I am itching to get all 3 bomber jackets on my wish list and you know what I just might!
