The Plaid Shirt

What do you get when you mix a bunch of lines together and call it a day...plaid! So what the hell do I exactly do with plaid. I personally I'm not a big fan of plaid, and for some reson I must have hated the print and there is no realistic reson for me to hate the print but I guess it happend and manifested in my little childish mind.

It was only a few day a go when I went on a shopping expedition with a friend, and he talked me in to buying the shirt. Like yah I only bought the shirt becuse it was only $10 and I was like fuck it. I love outerwear and I was going to get a sweater, however today the shirt wins. So taking it home and not really knowing what to do with it, I just began doing what I normally do with clothing pices that I have no fucking  idea and just had a layering party with me, myself, and I. 

So I put the shirt on with yellow pants, and a light grey knit blazer, with red shose. And then I decided  put a short sleeve shirt  that was blue and had polka dots, over that shirt and then a utility jacket on top with light was green jeans, and blue shose. Yah you might have said that I had a little fun with all that clothes in my closet that I tried on. 

However the better part of this story was that the clothes I got kind of board in my closet and was tired of seeing, where now supper happy looking and was awesome, like I had feeling of happiness just washing over me and I just can't believe that just buying one shirt can make that much of a difference in my closet.

 So the next time you are in a board state of mind about your clothes. Just remember this, don't buy a whole new closet just, try to find something that you feel that is missing in your closet to make all the clothes that you have now work with that one new pice. Then your closet is new to you and you also got some thing new instead of going crazy and trashing all your old clothes and buying a whole new closet.

The Utility Jacket

In life, we all have those days where we don't want a sweater or a cardigan. But what we truly want is a full on jacket,but not just any jacket a utility jacket, with all the bells and whistles. The buttons and zipper to keep us warm from Mother Nature, and the pockets to keep our beloved phones in.

But how do we make them look super cool and chic for any day of the week from going for a jog at 6am in the morning, or grbing dinner at 9pm with your date, it is as simple as one, two, three.

One: The Layering.

The hole point of this first step, is to it make as fun as possible underneath the jacket, So with a pop of floral or polka dots. The jacket is called the utility jacket for a reason...it's for a utilitarian use. So have a lot of fun with this step, for me I always head right to the floral department in my closet. Now we skip down to the second step.

Two: Color..

Color is such an amazing thing when used masterfully. So stay in a color palette that works well together with the jacket. By doing this it makes the jacket look effortlessly fitting in with the party of clothes that you have. And last but not least, hopping down to the last step. 

Three: Happiness from Within.

This is the most important step because if you don't feel confident in what your wearing then the whole look that you have now worked so hard for, is now looking like shit. Because when your both confident and happy with your look, then the look as a whole looks amazing and you will shine.

So now we know what the three steps are to making the utilitarian jacket look chic, and cool. Let's go out there into the world with are phones in one pocket and are Chapstick in the other.

Power of Editing

Handbags, we all love then and we all have at least one, from the Chanel 2.55 classic flap, or the one you got at the clearance sections at Target. But we are not talking about the the price of the bag or the quality and what it is made from. However it is the size that we are mainly looking at and focussing on today.

You can tell the difference between A woman that is carrying a vary small bag and a woman who is carrying a vary large bag. The one who is carrying the smaller one has probably mastered one of life's most valuable skill, the art of editing. Where she only need her everyday items, such as some cards, cash, her phone and lipstick and that's it she leaves every thing at else at home becuse she is all prepared. I however I'm not this kind of woman, because I am the one who carries a vary large bag.

The woman who carries a vary large bag, she carrying her life with her, and that she feels most happy and comfortable with all her beloved objects with her as she faces her day all ready to go. With her phone in one hand and Starbucks in the other all with a smile on her face. 

So, what kind of bag do you carry on an everyday bases. Are you the super precise person who only needs to carry just enough things with them to explor there day. Or, are you like me where I can't see myself leaving the house if I don't take the kitchen sink with me. 

The Smell.

Smelling pretty, or just plain good are simple human aspiration that is laced throughout our DNA. So why do we want so smell pretty? Maybe to impress a date, or not to tell the world that you just worked out for 3 hours becuse of the regret of having that Starbucks drink. 

However smelling pretty is such a sbujective matter. Some of us want to smell like a burst of fresh spring flowers that where just picked from the garden. Or the chic sensibility of clean and precise freshness, but I go for the old lady pretty with Chanel N5.

To me, what smell the most beautiful is the sent of mystery and that's what this perfume, dose for me. I also have a dash of girlyness with in my  soul so I also love the sent of Miracle by Lancôme. At fist I was not a fan of this sent at all, the first spry I had of this perfume was a total disaster becuse it smelled was too strong and was way to happy for my satisfaction. However leaving it on for about 10 to 15 minutes it dried down vary nicely and had a deep slightly woody finish. 

But in the end we must be confident in whatever we spray on ourself. Because at the end of the day we need to to be happy with ourself, even if it is one spray at a time.

The Mini and the Pretty

There is work, and there are parties. So what is the difference...the BAGS. There is no way in fucking hell I am carrying my work bag or school bag to a party and crashing in to people. So what is the perfect mini bag, not the mini tiny bag where you can only fit Chapstick. The mini clutch for the modern era where you can actually fit a phone in and other wonders of life. 

I will not lie, I am the kind of person that just keep shoveling shit in my bag. I feel that I must be prepared for anything and everything possible. So when war brakes out, I could be the one to provide the band aid with Dora on it to help the victims. I try to bring some cash and card case for any emergency stop to McDonald's because I'm only human and I can only diet to a point. There is a need to bring some Advil as well, remember friends it only takes one pill for the magical properties to last all day or all night long 

So now are bag is stuffed with life's essentials, we can party hard the night away. Then the next day regret our life choices the day before.    

Spring (hopefully) is coming...

Spring!?

With only 9 more days of this vary cold, heartless, and unapologetic winter left we can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel called spring. However this only means one thing, digging in the archives of are closets for something special to place on are body's for the first day of this long awaited season. But when I mean special, I mean it must yell ,if not screech the souls of flowers being printed on your article of clothing. If I'm not making myself clear enough, just imagine  Spongebob breaking out in to song and joyfully tossing flowers with Patrick. 

I also feel that there is just this crazy inner feelings of bitchiness that has been stored up so long becuse of this weather. So, that's one fun excuses for being a floral bombshell. Or maybe if your not like me, the aspiration to look nice in such great weather will work too. But also don't forget to have fun in next few days as winter in coming to a close my friends.  These are the final days on witch you can look like an abominable snowman and not give two fucks becuse the weather is freezing. 

The Mini Brown Box

Life is way too fast, and when it's spring brake it's joging by super fast! However you don't have to fear when you can store your lovely shit in a small brown leather box by Ralph Lauren. This cute box holds only life's essential so choose carefully . In my everyday life it's the phone, card case, a pouch (in my case yellow), coin purse, flash drive, pill case, and a chapstick. And there's so much room in side that I can even shove my head phones for those moments when I want to play the "social awkward" card or " I have no clue who anyone is here so I shall listen to music."
