Happy Monday my loves! 

I hope your weekend went well just as mine did. I celebrated a few drinks with my best friend and boyfriend in honor of my new job! I'm so glad I can finally say that I'm done working nights. I'll no longer be an insomniac; maybe at my next rave, but not on the day to day basis. Hip hip hooray!!

Whenever I'm in the mood to dress down I always go for either leggings or sweatpants. Fashion doesn't always have to be glitz and glamour, right? Queue in the t-shirt dress. This plain jane has been my go to look for the past month. 

Rosegal has been so kind enough to send me this nude colored low cut t shirt choker dress to review. Like I've mentioned in my previous posts, their sizes do run small so I'm a size medium in their clothes. Usually the quality of some of their products are thin but this one is soft and promising. The material used was well chosen and is soft to the touch. With the low cut style on this dress, I suggest wearing those strappy bralettes under to spice up your look. Unfortunately, this item is no longer available on their website but I've linked another similar style to this Pink Tee here. 

Sending you good vibes to get yourself through this week! 

Xoxo,

Lara

Hey girl hey!

I'm back with another post in collaboration with Rosegal. They sent me two t shirt dresses to style for the blog so this is my take on the trend. I went in going for the "I'm with the band" type of look. The distressed cuts on this t shirt give it such a tough girl vibe that makes it scream BAD ASS BITCH. You can wear this look to a rock n roll concert or to a girls night out on the town. (You can purchase this dress here.)

Their website says that a size small should be my go to fit for this t-shirt dress but since I'm not a fan of tightly fitted clothing, I went ahead and ordered a size medium. If you haven't noticed yet, Rosegal sizes do run small so ordering a size up should be ideal.

To update you babes on my life, I just had my wisdom teeth removed a couple weeks ago! And no, you will not find my post surgery video on World Star Hip Hop lol. Since I'm fully back to my normal cheek size, I can stuff my face with yummy food again! That also means I'm back to updating and posting on the blog too. It makes me wonder if blogging with my hamster cheeks would have been appealing to you. (I think not, haha)

Heaven has gained 3 beautiful angels up above. It breaks my heart to say that my beloved grandma, uncle, and my family priest had all passed away last week. It has been a difficult time for my family, especially for my father, to lose his mother. My family would like to thank you for the prayers we have received for each and everyone of them. It is truly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts.

If there's one thing I learned from the death of a loved one, it is that death does not symbolize an end of life, but the beginning of a rebirth.

Xoxo,

Goodbye 22 and HELLO jordan year!! -queues in bday song-

February is the month I look forward to each year because it holds a very special place in my heart. Not only is it my birth month but it is also my blog, FASHION THREADSS birth month too! 3 years ago on February 28, 2014, I launched my very first post on blogger debuting my fashionista heart and soul into the web. 

Starting off as the rookie in the blogger field was so nerve-wracking for me because I was unsure if people were even going to read my posts. Knowing most people, they just scroll through pictures and skip the boring reading stuff. But after sharing the link on Facebook and with the help of my family and friends, the overnight launch became a success! FASHION THREADSS had received over a 1k reads within 24 hours. That was the day I knew my dream of being a fashion blogger had potential to grow into something bigger. 

Although I still consider myself far from where I want to be with my blog, I want to use my story as an inspiration to you, yes you, reading this post. If you have a dream you want to pursue, don't be afraid to go for it and take the leap of faith. I know it seems scary at first because you're unsure of the road ahead but if you don't take action now, you're going to  be drowning yourself in the "What if's" of it. Take my advice and you'll thank me later. 

Fun Fact: My sister, Vera and I share the same bday. So we're almost like twins but one year apart! Pretty cool eh? I guess that makes us half a twin haha! If you follow her on social media go greet her happy bday as well!

Xo,
