Denim and Flowers: Gigi Hadid For Topshop Fall/Winter 2015-2016

 "You know who's going to give you the world? You are." - DVF
 Girl crushes here and there, but no one takes my heart away more than the girl duo Gigi Hadid and Miss Kendall Jenner. Although I'll take them solo too. There's nothing like an IT girl in her "model off duty" state. It's nothing but street style at it's finest. I feel like Topshop really captured this style by picking Gigi as there girl for there Fall/Winter collection.

Wifi Wifey: 8 THINGS THIS WEEK


“There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir: We must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls, and calls each vagabond by name.”


I am so glad we live in a world where Octobers exist. I can't really pin point it but it's like a new year for me: new inspirations, new motivations, it's like, what's summer? I'm a really big fan of a lot of blogs, and I'm still mourning the loss of my Google Reader account. Starting these new series of posts allows me to share with myself (and if there's anyone else reading this) just a couple of the great things that this week consisted of:

1. I still have yet to finish #GirlBoss and the celebration of the paperback edition and tour. I almost got to catch her Union Sq. reading, but somehow ended up on top of The Standard Hotel.

2. I finally unpacked everything from my NYC visit last week, also is it time to go back yet?

3. There's a new baby coming May 2016 and I'm the auntie.

4. The first American Pie is on Netflix and I caved in and watched it (cue Blink- 182) Also I highly recommend Narcos, did someone say Pablo Escobar?

5. My business partner and I have the first designs for MS collection coming soon!

6.  Definitely making these over the weekend!

7. Have you watched the trailer for the Movie The Forest yet?

8. I had my doubts and totally hate pumpkin anything but I was curious and tried the Quest Pumpkin Pie bar, it's DELICIOUS.

Stay In Bed: Kim Kardashian for Vogue Spain August 2015

When there's so many haters 
and negative things, I really don't care.
-KIM KARDASHIAN
Kim Kardashian  (and if we're being honest, it sounds better without the west) the all ever stumping queen... maybe that's why she keeps everyone mesmerized with her and her crazy life. She just IS. In other words, she's just herself and doesn't really give a single damn. How can I not extra love her especially now that she's semi entering the tech world. In all of her spotlight years, don't think we have ever seen miss West in such a calm state, not to mention a take on a different styling. How could we not share this Vogue Spain August 2015, a month late but definitely a favorite

life lately: work + love

 "in all realms of life it takes courage to stretch our limits, express out power, and fulfill our potential. Sometimes our best successes come on the high-heels of failures."

How to describe life lately is like a major headache, but it sounds a lot like work and love. It's like everything just decided to smack me right in the face, web development school (part 100- which is what it feels like.) Training, running businesses, and my everyday job. Not to mention, I moved to a new home which is taking a lot of getting used to. In the words of Blink-182 "well I guess this is growing up."

 The highlights of my week was receiving my Adore Me surprise gift box which I will be posting later on this week, I seriously have loved everything that they have gifted me.... good idea or bad idea, ordering a corset? Second, highlight was my new pair of Nike Pro shorts because I'm pretty much obsessed with coral right about now.

Gym Hair: Just Do It

"nobody is born natural. 
you work hard to get good, 
then work even harder to get better"

I guess there must have been something in my protein oatmeal (1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/2 scoop protein, 1 spoon of peanut butter, yum) this morning because I decided to change it up today on the blog, as you can see I'm in gym clothes. This week my goal is to really focus on eating right and following my meal plan to the T.  I want to reward myself with crazy new workout dreads, so I've been doing some research and have found some really interesting colors to work with. I also found that creating my own gym hairdos has really added a twist to my routines too, call me crazy but this braided crown bun is my favorite! {not to mention it takes less than a minute}
