Blogger Style Session

Here is another fun project from Target. This time Target paired me up with the lovely Ashley from Life, Love and the Pursuit of Shoes for a little styling session. We were supposed to dress each other according to our styles. You can check out how I styled her here.
So Ashley and I had a little chat about my recent obsession for all-black looks and thigh-high boots. We both are very excited to finally be able to rock fall fashion and this is the look that we came up with for me: total black outfit with a pretty skater skirt and a chic sheer blouse with a white bow. And of course.....my new thigh high boots. I still can't believe they are only $70! Such a steal!

How to Stay Motivated

It's no secret that a major part in achieving our goals is staying motivated. But with so many obstacles in our way and so many distractions it's easy to lose motivation, get stuck and just become unhappy. I decided to put together a short list of ideas on how I stay motivated and hopefully you will find something useful for yourselves here too.
1) Reasons. This is a big one. It's a fact that if you don't have a big enough reason to accomplish something, you probably won't. Either change the goal or find a good reason to achieve it.

Gold Details and Fur

My favorite combination of colors is black and white, but when you add just a little bit of gold details and some fur, the look becomes super chic. The gold details I chose are my new hand chain from Leuer with a matching necklace. I love the fact that the accessories are thin enough, which adds an extra touch of sophistication. 
And obviously fur - another material that is so elegant and classy. You won't believe it, but my faux fur cover-up is not actually a cover-up, it's a scarf! I purchased this scarf about 2 years ago when Anna Karenina collection from Banana Republic just came out. This is how I wore it: I wrapped the faux fur (middle) part around my shoulders and wrapped the remaining long ends of the scarf around my waist which resulted in a thick belt that I fixed with my gold bracelet. Completed the look with my thigh-high boots from Target and mohican clutch from Ted Baker.
