Coffee, Clothes, And Photographs

Coffee, Clothes, and Photographs This post is very long overdue. About a year ago I was approached by a college student named Emma to take my photos. She asked me to meet her at a coffee shop in DC and that we would take some photos for her portfolio and for my blog. I was optimistic as I have done a few of these meet ups where the sessions don’t quite go as I had planned. But things were different with Emma, she was a bit shy but when she got behind the camera, the girl knew what she wanted and she made it happen. After getting our first set of images back, I knew that I had found my girl. Not only did she get my esthetic, she knew how to tell a story through the images. I admit, blogging is a strange occupation. I know that taking photos of my brunch before letting my friends eat can get slightly annoying for everyone involved and I get my fair share of funny looks as I perfectly stage my latte for a snap. It’s also pretty strange to plan out photo shoots where I change into 3 or 4 different […]

Leather and Silk: The Perfect Holiday Pairing

Leather and Silk: The Perfect Holiday Pairing… With one holiday down and two more on the horizon, its time to start thinking about gift giving and what you will wear to all the holiday soirees that are upon us. Christmas is my favorite time of year, not for the gift receiving but the time spent with friends and family. I don’t discriminate when it comes to parties, I love them all, but nothing comes close to comparing to a Christmas party and with so many of them coming up in the next few weeks, you will need to make sure that you have the right look for that holiday soirée. The type of party that you are attending will really determine the dress our outfit that you will wear. While many of the parties may be cocktail attire or ugly Christmas sweater themed, others may be a bit more casual. If you don’t know what to wear, you can always opt for an outfit that walks the line between dressy and festive without being over the top. And you can spend your night loading up on spiked cider instead of worrying over your outfit. I love this look because it […]

Leather and Mesh

If you haven’t noticed, dressing sporty is kind of my thing. Whether I am heading to the gym or I am off to have drinks with my friends, dressing with an athletic twist is kind of my thing. I am sure the athleisure movement has contributed to my sporty chic obsession, that paired with the fact that I practically live in my activewear since I spend so much time in the gym. Regardless, adding athletic details to my everyday looks has been my go-to lately. When shopping for new sporty pieces to add to my wardrobe, I try to steer clear from overly trendy items. I have enough clothing as it is with hardly any place to put it, so when I add a piece to my wardrobe, I make sure I will get optimal use out of it. I found this asymmetrical mesh top from VIP ME and have been OBSESSED! I love the mesh details on the shoulders and the long flowy back, which gives it a bit of edge. It looks great with leather pants or ripped denim, I love how versatile it is. This outfit is the perfect balance between masculine and feminine, which I love. I’m […]

How I Stay Motivated On The Road

Staying motivated to keep with your fitness routine while traveling is beyond hard. There are so many distractions, things to do and people to see, who has time to work out? Admittedly, sometimes there aren’t enough hours in the day and you either can’t get in a gym sesh or don’t want to because you are too busy exploring. Believe me I get it! But there is balance to be found even when on the road. When I’m traveling for work or for fun, I try to at least get a good workout in once or twice. I don’t let it dictate my schedule or get in the way of my plans, I just make it a priority to get it done. After all, if you can spare an hour or two, then you have no excuse. I normally try to drop into a Crossfit when I’m on the road because I love seeing how the different gyms are run, plus I always seem to make a new friend and get a killer new t-shirt as well. But if my time is even more limited and I don’t think I will have time to make it to Crossfit, I will […]
