OOTD For Gloomy Days

What do you do when you roll out of bed to see a dark grey sky causing you to just crawl back into bed? Take a deep breathe and follow my directions:

- Make yourself a warm cup of coffee or tea (whichever you like)

- Sit down and take the time to enjoy and relax before starting your day 

- Now go wash that face and brush those teeth

- My favorite hairstyle on a gloomy day: a nice polished topknot

- Keep your makeup nice and simple

- Dress in clothes that will keep you comfortable, but still stylish

Outfit Details:

- Chiffon Trench (Forever21)

- Black v-neck (Forever21)

- Leggings (Forever21)

- Booties (Public Desire)

When it comes to outfit options on rainy days, I always tend to lean towards black clothes. Let's say it's raining so hard that you get splashed with water, most likely you won't be able to tell your clothes are a little wet if you are wearing black. If you want to look stylish with your shoes but don't want to get your feet wet, bring a change of shoes for when you go outside. Try adding a warm sweater or blazer to the outfit to make it look sleek but also keep you cozy at the same time. 

Above all remember that you can still be comfortable and look fashionable. It's about how you own your outfit instead of letting the outfit own you!

Online Shopping :)

This will probably be my favorite post of all time because I absolutely LOVE to shop online. No joke, I will only shop online and it is a very rare occasion that I step foot into a store. I have my reasons and once you hear them, I am pretty sure you will agree me with too!

Perks of online shopping are hidden coupon codes and discounts that you wouldn't find in stores. Whenever you find yourself shopping online, take the time to enter the store name, followed by coupon code into google. You will find awesome discounts that can make a difference in your total spending. A lot of online storefronts will also hold special sales and discounts on their website's. Personally I think this is better than getting in your car, driving to a crowded store, and trying to search high and low for items. Instead, you can sit in bed, in your comfortable pajamas, and surf the web until you are satisfied with your purchases. I am going to list some of my favorite shopping websites. These sites usually have active discount codes daily.


Shopping Websites:

Forever21
H&M
ASOS
Missguided
Cotton On
GoJane
Public Desire
Nastygal
Tobi

Convenience is key, we all lead such busy lives and run from moment to moment. So another helpful tip is to make a list of clothing items that you would like to add to your wardrobe and when you surf the web look for those items. You will be able to build a cohesive wardrobe and save some money!


So enjoy and hopefully you can save some money by shopping online and hopefully I didn't create any online shopping monsters hehe!

The New Shoe Craze!

There is one country in particular that I always look to for new and upcoming fashion trends, the U.K. I love all of the different trends that they introduce every year. It is always exciting and usually a modern twist on some retro trends. I think the British have a wonderful way of reinventing past fashion statements. One trend in particular that they have recently introduced is the thick chunky platform. If you were a girl who grew up in the 90's then I am sure you owned a pair of white, chunky Steve Madden sneakers. It was the most important part to any teenage girl's outfit. Who would have thought this trend would come back?? Of course, the new styles have been interpreted to better suit the current fashion styles.

I recently purchased a pair of chunky heels from a website called http://www.my1stwish.co.uk and I was blown away by all of the unique and versatile styles they had! As I went through the site I came across a pair of shoes called Harper Nude Suede High Heeled Cleated Sole Platforms. My jaw dropped and I knew I had to have them. I purchased these beauties and have to say it was the best decision I have made. These shoes are so light and comfortable, they make you feel like you are walking on air. I was able to match these shoes with so many different outfits and honestly felt very European when wearing them. Fashion is meant for people to take risks and continually reinvent themselves. I can honestly say these new shoes have done that for me and something as simple as cleated sole platforms can ignite a spark to reinvent oneself.
