Vino Rosso per Uno

Here we are again the time of the year some of us dread, while others love to love. Valentines day is tomorrow and I know there's plenty of us out there who will be spending it alone or unhappy. Let's be honest here, not everyone has someone they can gush about to friends and family, or some of us don't want to have anyone at the moment because, well we want to be selfish and care for ourselves. This post is dedicated to those people those of us who are being selfish at the moment and are worried about ourselves more than a holiday that gives people an excuse to make others feel a little bitter.

I honestly cannot count myself in that group of people who are bitter at this time of the year, it's not who I am, although I was in that position a year or two ago I am now nowhere near feeling that way. Valentines day this year is a happy one for me, and what do I  mean exactly by that? I am happy with myself, this past year I had a lot of alone time to work on myself, be more independent, I love me and the woman I am becoming. Although I have reason to celebrate valentines day I am instead choosing to have that mind space to celebrate self love. We all feel that this is a day to celebrate someone else in our lives, and although there's nothing wrong with that I feel it is very important for us to remember that love begins with us, and we should nurture that in some way. Whether you're spending this Valentines day alone or in good company enjoy a drink or three and remember that in order to be happy you must love yourself first. So to you in advance I say Happy Valentines Day.

5 Favorite Sweaters To Have This Winter

I love this sweater because of the neckline, and that you can layer a dress under it or wear it half tucked into a pair of trousers, or jeans like pictured above.

Clouds At Last ; Urban Outfitters Dress

Ever search for that perfect dress that makes you feel good every time you wear it without fail? I found that in this dreamy flowing bell sleeve dress from Urban Outfitters. When I got this dress it wasn't on sale, but after trying it on I just couldn't leave without it, it fit like a glove.

Ever since I made the very firm decision to start wearing my hair curly about almost a year ago (cannot actually believe it's been that long). I started to feel this rush of confidence after the second time of attending an important event only to be told by someone that they loved my hair.

The Truth Abut It All: Love Soul Style

I recently have been super caught up with work.. it has been crazy, sometimes sitting in front of a computer at a desk all day makes you not want to be close to one at all..for a while.

The Truth About It All: DYI Fringe

                                                                     

 Fringe skirts .. how can I begin to describe fringe skirts. They have become one of our guilty pleasures (admit it). And I being the huge skirt fan that I have become went on the hunt for a good spring skirt. This skirt did not look like this when it first caught my eye at a vintage shop months ago along with a Ralph Lauren one I scored for a good price. Since I personally did't not like the fact that it was too long and I stepped on it (sorry I'm short).

It's That time of the year again. Spring ahh sweet spring how I've missed you, spring brings me great memories and makes me want to strive to be better. It makes me determined and more driven certainly more than I was in the winter time (glad that's over). And with spring comes change, as of lately I had been longing to change my hair I had secretly dared myself to wear it curly more often in the beginning of the year.

The Truth About It All: Influenster VoxBox Review

This weekend was a good one it took off very slowly. On Saturday I started my day with a light protein filled breakfast followed by almost two hrs. in the gym which were a great energy boost believe it or not. On Sunday I spent the day with my family cooking and laughing it was the right way to end the weekend after a stressful week. Then came when I realized I had yet to really look through my Influenster box to really see what was in it.

The Truth About It All: Chic off the Shoulder

findersKEEPERS

 Off the shoulder tops and dresses are having a big moment right now with many colors, patterns, and fabrics.I love that this is a trend right now, it reminds me of my moms style in her twenties. And a little jealous that I wasn't old enough to steal a couple of her things to wear now (she honestly had great style).  Although most of us love that the off the shoulder trend is having a moment right now, there are pieces that we just wish we could score for a good price.

The Truth About It All: The Naked Dress

                                           

                

The SATC DKNY naked dress was a fashion statement that even the most questionable fashion fanatics never quite forgot about. I love fashion but I have my limits when it comes to trying something completely out of my comfort zone, but being a SATC junkie mainly for the fashion I have always wondered were I could score Carrie Bradshaw's naked dress... I'd be very reluctant to actually wearing it but it would be an interesting experience when it comes to fashion anyway.

The Truth About It All: New beginnings
