New Year, New Clothes
Minimalist Style is Key.
2015 make way for some new trends that are making my heart skip a beat! A couple days after New Years I decided to go through every single piece of clothing I owned and just get rid of what I did not wear in the past year. I felt like I needed to cleanse my closet of dreadful trends that I never wanted to see again. As a 24 year old, I've found it very necessary to own pieces of clothing that are not only durable, but also easily able to be worn with other pieces. Save yourself the strain on your wallet and take my advice.
Go through every single item of clothing and think to yourself, "When was the last time I wore this and can I honestly see myself wearing it again??" If you say no or even have a little bit of hesitation then throw it in the garbage bag. You'll thank me later. All of the times that I hesitated on getting rid of clothes, they just sat in my closet and collected dust.
You might cringe after you see huge bags of clothes that you will be getting rid of, but its all for a good cause. Once I've sorted through everything, I always donate my gently used clothes. Someone out there could get great uses out of clothes that you might have never worn before!
Take the time to rebuild your wardrobe. You want to fill the spaces with pieces that are made of good quality. You might need to splurge but here are some pieces that you should most definitely splurge on:
- Heavy, yet professional winter coat
- Pair of black heels
- Tailored blazer
- Slim fit jeans
- Cashmere sweater
- Watch
- Sleek handbag
- Leather moto jacket
Put your money into these items because you will have them for years to come and they are items in your wardrobe that can be versatile. Whether its for business or leisure, these pieces of clothing can be dressed up or down.
Sometimes less is really more ladies! Ciao!

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.

Summer Fashion Inspiration Board!
As each season comes and goes, so does the current fashion trends. There is always a high level of anticipation for me when the new seasons begin and we are captivated by all of the new beautiful colors and fabrics. I know we are halfway through summer but I am just in love with the boho chic trends that are everywhere I look. I think it is so creatively genius how the fashion world reinvents old fashion trends and makes them tailored to the current times. I have put together my own personal inspiration board for this summer's fashion trends in hopes that others are inspired by it as well.
I love going through these photos and gathering ideas to piece together for my own outfits. Inspiration boards are personally my favorite thing to piece together because it heightens your motivation towards a specific goal! Enjoy :)

Benefit Porefessional
Pores....what a headache. No matter how hard you try to make your foundation application look flawless, some time later those pores just tend to sneak up on you. Whether you have big pores or small pores or uneven skin, this product will change the way your makeup looks.
In the past I was always apprehensive about primers or any silicone products because my skin breakouts so easily. The primers that I did find that worked with my skin ended up making my skin feel oily. After much research I found the Benefit Porefessional and decided to give it a shot. Thank goodness because this product is now one of my holy grail products.
The most amazing thing about this product is that it really does fill in every pore, every line, and every imperfection. The Porefessional has a slight tan tint to it which I personally like because it also evens out my dark spots. It glides on so smoothly and literally makes your skin feel like velvet. I was shocked by how different my skin looked after applying it and I hadn't even applied foundation yet!
The next test was to see how my foundation applied on top of it and how long they would stay on my skin. I went on to apply my foundation and all the other face products I use on a daily basis. After a couple of hours I was really shocked by how flawless my skin looked and that the product wasn't sliding around on my face. This is what sold me because in the past so many primers would kickstart my oily skin and my face makeup would just slide off.
I never broke out from this product and I have extremely sensitive skin. Porefessional is on the more pricey side but I can honestly say that it is worth every single penny. I use this product every single day and will be a lifelong purchaser of the Benefit Porefessional.
