Jumper Love

Sometimes I like to not take myself too seriously and wear something fun and goofy. Stripes with this jumper would have made a cool off-duty look, but I accessorized with sneakers, oversized watch and a fun hat for a casual fun look.

Casual Cool

More and more often, I love throwing a long oversized sweater over a pair of leggings for a comfy and chic look. The accessories have to be cool though, so I wore my favorite Marants (they actually matched my sweater perfectly!) and cool new sunnies. No bag this time. Yes, sometimes I don't take a bag with me because I drive most of the time and can leave a few items I take with me in the car. If it's a quick errand, I prefer to stay extra comfortable with no bag attached :) By the way, I wrote a whole article about my bags (why I have so few and why I prefer designer bags) on Loehmann's site. Click here to read it. And tell me what you think!

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.
