Happy Holidays Everyone! 

I hope you each had a beautiful Christmas spent with your family and loved ones this year! 

Holidays like this one in particular make me feel so blessed to have such loving people in my life. Christmas to me isn't about how many gifts you get to open or how extravagant your party has to be. It's about spending quality time with the people you love and being thankful for all the good that has happened within this year.

As the new year is fast approaching, I've reflected on all that has taken place in 2014. I've turned most of my dreams, big and small, into reality; especially this one. It's crazy to say that I work a tedious full time job but still manage to blog from time to time. I've always wanted to live a life where I can inspire people with my passion and talents because that's how I believe every life should be lived. To inspire and be inspired. 

I'm currently obsessed with the hollywood glamour style so gold and faux fur was obviously the way to go. I don't know why but there's something about wearing a faux fur coat that makes me feel like a millionaire. Anyone else get the same feeling like I do? Not to mention the fact that you can pass as a celebrity if you throw on some oversized shades HAHA.

To conclude my last post in 2014, here's a feature of my handsome and beautiful cousins wishing you a wonderful new year! 

Happy New Year from my family to yours!  See you beauties in 2015! 

Xoxo,

Ripped jeans are definitely a favorite of mine. I owe a bunch from skinnies to boyfriends. There's just something about them that makes any outfit edgy and tough. 

I styled my pair with a flowy cropped tank and black sophisticated heels to give it a contrast between a sexy yet relaxed feel. Also, I was able to polish this outfit with a black blazer to match my cute shoes.

I forgot to mention that my sunnies are from zerouv. I'm wearing their oversized round glasses in black. Their site has a ton of retro and chic sunglasses at affordable prices. Plus, it's free shipping! You can view their styles here
