The Truth About It All: The Fallback

It has been almost three weeks since my return from California. As of lately I have found myself in a creative and emotional slump but, worry not here I am once again writing. I left two things in LA love and opportunity, while one of them I believe you only get one that truly matters of the other when in the right place at the right time,etc. can be had multiple times as long as you have eyes wide open to grasp it as quickly as possible.

The Truth About It All: Taylor Swift Style

Hello there lovelies! 

I know its been a few weeks since my last post. I do apologize things have been a bit hectic in my schedule lately, between class, work, and finals I got caught up in the routine and have hardly picked up my laptop at all but, I am back again!! 

This post is for my week style inspiration, this weeks post obviously features the lovely and fierce Taylor Swift, lets get to it! So I know this look is back from February at the Elle Style Awards but, I once again stumbled upon it earlier this week and have been obsessing over how sexy and chic this look is.

The Truth About It All: Lace up Ballet Flats

 This morning as I sat in the Library before heading to my speech communications class, I sat down to check out what was new. I cant quite remember how I ended up on PopSugar but, I am overly glad that I did because I found what already is a huge shoe obsession or as I like to call it Shoebsession for this Spring! Flats have always been a more comfortable yet, still stylish way to dress up outfits and now with this new and improved little up grade that brands like Tibi, Valentino, Michael Kors and Jeffrey Campbell decided to show at their fashion shows.

The Truth About It All: Gisele Bundchen Spring 2015 Chanel

Hello there lovelies ! This is my first post for 2015 its crazy a new year has begun, but then again not really it's exciting. Anyhow, I'm sure the majority of you guys have already seen the Chanel Spring 2015 campaign starring Gisele Bundchen. Oh my god!

The Truth About It All: Standard Diner Albuquerque

 

There is a lot to be said about Downtown, Albuquerque .. But in a few words its underdeveloped, I am not here to sham on the this area of the city it is just unexpectedly so much different than you would imagine. But as previously stated I am not here to say never visit. I love finding variety, when it comes to eating somewhere whether its in the atmosphere of the place, the selection of the menu, the friendly staff or good prices for good food portions.

The Truth About It All: The Good Dress

Everyone would argue that if you are bridesmaid, you are usually the worst part of the wedding party. Why? You may ask, well the answer is simple, brides are always under stress even if it does not appear that way. They stress about their weight, about finding the right dress, the right kind of food to suit all the guests taste buds, the color of the flowers, and well every little detail they feel is important to making their wedding day perfect.

The Truth About It All: Cucumber Face Peel

It has been two plus months since we last said goodbye to summer, so you would expect that me being the way I am would be back to my daily facial routine of cleanse, tone , moisturize and occasionally scrub. But nope I have been doing the complete opposite between work , signing up for classes, family time, wrapping presents and the holidays in general. I had not gone back to taking thorough care of my face.

The Truth About It All: Heart Of Hearts

                     Hello there lovely readers,

For quite some time I have been wanting to start a personal blog, aside from this one , so that my personal things are not mixed within this blog..

I started the blog because sometimes people need somewhere to vent, let things go, or just express feelings that they would otherwise keep to themselves. I named it heart of hearts and will be posting often but not everyday. So if you guys want to check it out here is the link.

The Truth About It All: Black and White

Black, white, and red are just three of the top colors to wear. In this post i combined all three of them together.
As you can see I am not shooting outside like I usually do and it was an interesting way to shoot for the blog, I got to put together outfits that Id usually go for but they were more studio outfits than street style outfits. It was a different take of what I usually go for. I loved this outfit because it consisted of two of my favorite trends from last season that transcended onto this one and one that came back for fall 2014. The white crop top with a collar gave it a bit more of a polished look, that combined very well with my highwaisted mid-calf skirt. And last but not least I added to the outfit maroon pointed toe pumps which I love. It was a simple chic outfit. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay? Let me know in the comments below. xx -Steph

The Truth About It All: Ciao Fall

(Forever21 Dress)

Hello loves Steph here, Its been about a month almost since my last outfit post I got soo caught up blogging about all my favorite new collections from fashion week but in between all the writing I took time do a few outfit posts. These outfits where shot in a white background which was unexpected but I liked going a different way about it instead of running around I just kinda stood in one place and changed poses (no worries i'll always love to shoot outside with scenery around me). It was a rainy and humid day outside either way so I guess it worked out for the best. This outfit was inspired by the comfort I believe comes with the arrival of fall and soon enough winter too. One of my favorite outfits. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay? xx -Steph

The Truth About It All: David Koma Spring 2015

I think I just added a new designer to my list of favorites. The David Koma Spring 2015 collection was everything I never knew could be (if that makes sense). I've always been obsessed with geometric cutouts and body-con pieces and this show did not disappoint me at all. Although Koma is also living his lifelong dream of being the artistic director of Mugler it did not take away from his very own collection. The very architectural designer who usually defaults for using black and white on all of his designs, decided to this time around incorporate some colors that represent spring. The designs featured cutout waists, sheer panel details, and the always lovely and flattering asymmetrical hem. The collection over all was fantastic. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay? xx -Steph

The Truth About It All: Marchesa Spring 2015

Wow people just,WOW ! I cannot help but be overly obsessed with the new Marchesa Spring 2015 collection. Everything is soo fabulous , i was in awe when i watched the show  every design is soo breathtaking from head to toe. Every piece that strutted down the runway made you feel like you were in a magical bohemian garden or something of the sorts. I loved how most of the pieces had some sort of floral patterns or pastel colors. A lot of sheer and lightweight fabrics were used for the collection, every style had something that made it a little sexy whether it showed cleavage in the front, showed off the shoulders, had a slit on the skirts, or had sheer fabric which was provocative. All of the designs represented spring, some of the models wore flower crowns which added to the boho style of the collection. Some of the first pieces in the collection had a very 70s vibe to them which is sometimes hard to pull off without going over the top. The entire collection as a whole was magnificent, which I could wear certain pieces I fell in love with. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay? xx -Steph

The Truth About It All: Altuzarra S/S15

(Business Woman)

NYFW is over now and we're moving onto London, Milan, and Paris fashion week but we cannot forget how chic the Altuzarra S/S15 collection was. I could see the style of more than one of us girls reflected. It was truly pleasing to the eye, you had many types of women reflected in the designs. The color palette used for this collection is one I favor, its the colors that represent spring here we have a very subtle selection of colors most of them being sky blues, a very light pink, golden tones,etc. With black not being left out of the picture since its a color that is worn all year round and is great for nighttime. I labeled the last look The Carrie Bradshaw because it truly reminds me of Carries style if the show was still running I could totally see her wearing that dress for a day out with the girls , wouldn't you? What do you guys think of the the collection for this spring? Yay or Nay? xx -Steph

The Truth About It All: Comfy Day

Hello Loves, your dearest fashion blogger here. :) How have you guys been ?  I've been looking for some inspiration for something new I'm working on for the blog and in these past days have been clinging to comfortable outfits, I always say that sometimes comfort comes first so when I finally decided to work on a new outfit post I continued to cling to that comfort and along came this post. I was supposed to do a different outfit but got lazy last minute and ended up not changing , so my photographer Janice said sure why not lets do a laid back outfit. And so we did, when we arrived where we were going to shoot it just so happened to be perfect for such a comfortable outfit like this. It was sundown which made for good but complicated lighting. We shot at this old warehouse she had seen just fifteen minutes from where we both live. Across the street you could see this really small little restaurant and in the air you smelled barbecue. We explored the whole perimeter which led to really good pictures with a kind of dark/creepy and adventurous feel. There are more outfit posts to come within the next week that arent laid back. :) What do you guys think for this very comfy outfit day? Yay or Nay? xx -Steph
