Brrrrrr, it's cold outside!

So as the weather is getting a little chiller there are ways that your fashion can survive. All you have to do is wear longer sleeves, grab your buttons ups and scarves, and slip on your boots!
Here are a few outfit ideas from my roommate Ellen and I!
Some people assume that you can only wear a shirt in only one type of outfit when in reality there are an array of things that you can do with a few simple things. My two items are my heart printed denim button-up and my oxford heels.




   For the first outfit, I paired them with a navy circle skirt from H&M and a statement necklace from Walmart! Don't be afraid to shop at store like Walmart, Claire's or anything like them. Sometimes they can have really cool pieces for a really good price!                                      
                                                         Statement necklaces are a super                                                             Oxford heels, as said many
fun way that you can play up an                                                              times are my new obsession!
outfit!                                                                                                       They are a newly vintage way
                                                                                                                  to turn up the style!
 Although I love this outfit, 
                                                        there is at least one more way,
                                                        if not more to use these pieces
                                                        in another outfit! 

For this outfit, I paired the shirt and heels with a cheetah print dress from the Bethany Mota Collection at AERO. 





One thing about this outfit that I adore is the color combination. The denim shows more summer but brings out the fall with paired with the maroon and tan ( on the heels ). Although this is only a short amount of help, I hope this can give you a little bit of inspiration for your next outfit!

Before I go, there is another outfit that I would like to show you that my roommate put together. This outfit is meant to show you that playing with different textures and patterns can benefit with a cute fall flare of fashion! 

In this outfit, Ellen took a floral lace pattern dress and paired it with a cheetah print scarf! To tie the scarf into the outfit she wore calf high boots! Boots and scarves are a great way to get into fall fever, and don't forget boot socks of course! 
Alrighty, well it is time for me to sign off! Have a wonderful day lovelies!

WORKIN' it OUT!

Hey guys!
So yesterday my roommate Ellen and I started a workout schedule and it's working pretty good! Believe or not when you work out in the morning it gets you up, moving, and more ready to tackle the day! Here are a few quick tips about working out from Ellen and I!:

Tip 1:
              When you first start working out, make sure you stretch beforehand!!! This is so important because if you don't you could get hurt! :,( oh no!

Tip 2:
             Choose a workout that fits you. Don't go all in on weight lifting super max if you just want to get a stronger stomach! Try some crunches, sit ups, and/or planks! 

Tip 3: 
             Because there has so be sommeeeee fashion to everything, here is some clothing advice when you work out! Make sure to wear something comfortable when you work out! Tight uncomfortable clothes is definitely not the way to go. I like to wear a loose t shirt and shorts to work out! Of course no dress shoes, or other shoes that may hurt your feet! I suggest to wear tennis shoes with the appropriate inserts and braces as needed! Because of my footly troubles I have to wear both, and don't skip out on them if you have to also because it can hurt you more than help lovelies! 

Tip 4: 
           When you work out, music is a great way to get in the mood! If you want a great playlist to workout to my playlist is on Spotify! My username is taylew0718 if you want to listen to it!

Tip 5:
          Make sure that you drink lots of water when you work out because failing to do so can hurt you! Keep hydrated when you are working hard! 

Tip 6:
         Eating well is important when you are doing workouts! If you don't eat well it can make you feel sick to your stomach when you are working out! Although you want to try and eat a little healthier, I recommend, par a recommendation by Ellen, that you don't eat the same thing every day because it can quickly become old, and difficult to keep eating healthy! 

Tip 7:
        On the topic of eating well, don't forget to treat yourself! Everything is good in moderation!

Tip 8:
       Random tip of the day: Planners are a great thing! I have 3 planners plus a workout word doc, and a layout planner on my desk. They help to keep you organized, especially with school work! Pick to use one that works for you! ** You definitely do not need to go over board and have as many planners as I do! haha**

Tip 9:
      Remember that working out is a cool thing to get in shape and can make you feel great afterwards, but make sure to take care of yourself in the process! Don't overwork yourself, get some rest, do your schoolwork, and don't let it take over your life! Ellen and I only workout for an hour every morning, nothing more. Although we make it count, we try to not overwork ourselves and make sure to not injury ourselves.

Tip 10:
      **I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH** Although working out is fun, and getting in shape is too, don't think that you need to change the way you look! All of you are beautiful just the way you are and there is absolutely no need to workout unless you want to! Keep being who you are because there is no one more beautiful, unique, or as wonderful as you. And as many people have said, you are the only you, so keep on being who you want to be not who everyone else wants you to be!

That's all I have today lovelies! Keep up being amazing and have a great day! Thanks for reading!
xoxo,
Taylor (:

Back to School with Style!

Hey guys! I am finally settling in to the swing of college! Everything is a big whirl of different, new, stress, and fantastic times when you get into college and now I can finally get back to blogging!
So this week I am going to show you some of my favorite back to school fashions and the places where you can get some great deals!
NUMBER ONE: Okay so the first day of college was a little warm, so I resulted for a high-neck floral dress, paired with a jean jacket and mid-calf boots! These styles are so easy to find, especially if you live near a TJ Maxx or Marshalls! I love their deals, (promise no advertising). I got the dress there for 14.99!



 


NUMBER TWO: My next outfit was almost all new buys! I am absolutely in love with these shoes! They are originally American Eagle, but I found them at Payless for 26.99 I believe (don't hold me to the exact dollar). Anyways, they are an oxford style high heel bootie! I actually paired these shoes with my other two outfits in this post! This one is paired with a cut-out shoulder shirt that I found at TJ Maxx for 12.99!I paired them both with my favorite black skirt! Ahhhh, I love all the new pieces I bought I just can't get over it!?

NUMBER THREE:
This is for those chillier days! I love the combination of a simple circle skirt and sweater. This combo matched with a scarf is easy, fast, and reliably warm!!
alrighty well that is all from me this week! Have a good week and make it stylish!!
