The only thing consistent about denim is that it will always be on trend, and the one thing I’ve learned about denim is that they no two jeans are ever alike.

Collaborating with Red Malt Denim, a local Chicago company who started back in 2011 with a vision to create quality custom-fit jeans was beyond fun. I finally found a local brand that embodies American manufacturing and addresses its customers individual fit. The pair of denim I’m wearing it tailored exactly to my body size, and I must admit: I’m smitten. There’s no better way to show off your favorite heels than with a pair of denim.

And speaking of collaborations: Nothing brings me more joy than supporting other local entrepreneurs. As an entrepreneur myself I can only hope that our community understands the importance of supporting one another. Going after your dreams does not only require confidence, hard work and persistance but frankly a great support system as well.

A monochrome white outfit will instantly elongate your look. I’ve been a fan of winter whites for as long as I can remember. Winter whites provide a perfect, fashionable look to get me through Chicago’s blustery winters, always. I honestly believe that even though the temperature has plummeted doesn’t mean you have to let your fashion game drop too. I’m all about experimenting and playing with fashion.

For today’s post I wanted to to create something timeless and classic, and what is more sophisticated and classic then a pair of white pants and a chic white blazer? Some people call this trend, i.e. look somewhat ‘brave’ but I love this sophisticated look. If you want to break up this monochrome look I would recommend adding some bold accessories or luxe gold accessories. White is so versatile, so don’t be afraid to add boldness to your outfit. I will certainly do so as it gets a little warmer! I can totally see me wearing this look with some bright heels and some subtle gold jewelry.

How about you? Let me know by commenting below!

As always, thanks so much for reading and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for a new outfit post! From now on I will be posting every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday!

Much love.

Winter layering is so fun, believe me. I have created my personal building blocks of a solid, and stylish wardrobe to help me get through the cold winter. There are plenty of ways to layer any outfit to create an on-trend look, or a look that is simply comfy.

Below are my 5 Tips to a Perfectly Layered Outfit:

1. Start with a basic/solid top. In my case I grabbed my favorite solid-colored knit sweater.

2. Add another layer. I added a faux fur vest that I’ve had for years. It’s soft and it gives my outfit some depth.

3. Then add a coat. I suggest a solid color, like camel, and I know you have seen me rock this Uniqlo coat many times but I cannot help it: It’s my favorite winter coat this season!

4. Next, add a scarf but since I was wearing a turtle neck sweater I decided not to add a scarf.

5. Add accessories. You see me wearing my favorite rings, watch and cuff from my V Wear Collection.

Now it’s your turn! How do you like to layer?! Do you have any tips for me? Let me know by commenting below!

As always, I would love to hear from you!

PS: Don’t forget to come back Monday 1/11 for my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Boho Chic to me can be described in three (3) words: It’s inspirational, dreamy and whimsical. Now most people think of ‘boho’, as in flower-children full of whimsy and free-flowing dresses. To me, boho chic is much more than that. It’s a lifestyle. Being free, and being able to wear what you desire. I love finding unique pieces, and I am certainly not afraid to add more color to my wardrobe. I definitely have fun with fashion and I don’t take it too seriously.

One of the things I did last weekend was exploring the vintage racks in my neighborhood. I found this belt, hidden in a corner. It’s an old Michael Kors belt which I was able to get for just a few bucks! I love finding treasures like these. It’s almost most like these vintage items are telling you a story. It has history, and I just love that. I often catch myself wondering about the owner, and how the person before me wore it.

So, yes, I adore the bohemian lifestyle. I try not too much to conform to trends but instead focus on my own art in fashion.

What are you thoughts on the bohemian lifestyle?

As always, I would love to hear from you, and thanks so much reading!

Much love.

Happy 2016, Everyone! With each New Year I start to begin to think of fresh starts, reaffirmations of love and promises for a brighter future to come without even realizing that I’m already there. I feel extremely blessed. Starting this blog has given me tremendous joy and confidence. And this is because of YOU! If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be living this dream of mine.

So, today I would like to express how much joy you have given me! Your support means the world! I’ve been blogging for 1 ½ years, and I am still in awe of all of you! You are the most amazing friends (yes, I consider all of you my friends!) one could ask for! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart – I am so blessed because of you.  I truly wish you all much joy and happiness in return!

I am counting my blessings but wishing you more, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for all of us! Let us not forget: We are all writing our own story in this so-called-life so, let’s make it a good one! Happy 2016, my dear friends!

PS: One (1) more week until my BIG Announcement!

As always, thanks much for reading and have a wonderful start to your week!

Much love, always.
