Keeping up with trends can be kind of hard. The constant money being spent is annoying and sometimes half of the time it's not really worth keeping with the trends. Besides, fashion comes back around all the time so you are better off putting all of your trendy items away in storage and waiting until they come back in style. I wish that this was something I did because literally everything I donated in the past year has come back around full throttle and I am here like '

OMG WHY!?

I had a beautiful Checkered Coat that I got from Forever 21 and because le boyfriend didn't like it he made me get rid of it. I know it'e being put to use by another woman or child who needed it so I am not really upset about that. It was mainly just an example.

I also had tons of Cabbie Hats , Berets etc and I got rid of them all because I thought they would NEVER come back in style! I wore them often during my first year in college and I loved them. Alas, I did outgrow them and I decided to give them to goodwill BUT now they are back and I am full of regrets! I don't want to buy a new one but man oh man are they tempting me.

Although, for this Checkered Blazer it was a done deal. Not only is it super cute, it's pretty thick as well. I didn't want to dish out $60 for it so I did what I normally do when I want something. I wait and I was happy that I did! Because I got this beauty for a whopping $30! That is HALF of the regular price! I contemplating waiting a bit longer to snag it but my size was the first to go. I did size up because I wanted it to be a little bigger so I could wear sweaters and hoodies underneath.

Overall, I think that this is the perfect investment/staple piece for your wardrobe. This is one item that will be around forever! Get on that! I have linked a few down below! Shop till you lovelies drop!

If I am not able to write another post before Christmas then I will just say Merry Christmas and spend it with your families and loved ones!

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!

Happy Tuesday Lovelies!

Celebrated my birthday on Thursday but since it was a weekday I didn't want to really celebrate until the weekend. I wanted to do something casual and something that I don't really do on a regular basis. ( which is walking around DC ) Living in this area there is always something fun and exciting to do! A perfect day for me during the winter time would be sipping on a nice cup of hot chocolate and taking in the scenery. That was what I opted for on my birthday. Something simple instead of doing something very expensive.
