Sorry I have been gone for the past week! School just started up for the semester so I was moving back into my apartment and getting ready for classes. My schedule is much tighter now so I have to get up early and stay up late to blog. 

Leather jacket from BCBG, lace top from Urban Outfitters, leather pants from BCBG, lady-like heels from Ivanka Trump, tribal print bag from thrift store, gold earrings from Urban Outfitters, stone bracelet from H & M. 

Side flip: I always wear my hair to the side, I like the messy look-even with a polished outfit!

The outfit is all Christmas presents. I love leather and I love BCBG so this jacket has become a favorite of mine. The lace top is unexpected with leather but it can be brought to life with a cute print like the tribal print bag. I mixed a lot of different textures and styles, the key is to feel comfortable and go with pieces that compliment each other.

I want you

I love odd photography with a mood and offbeat vibe. Terry Richardson is one of my muses when I am telling photographers how I like photographs to come out. Raw feels sexy to me. It was a lazy day at home, I was doing homework in this comfy but chic outfit. 

Get the look: White crisp blazer from Nordstroms, Crop grey tank from American Apparel, silk pajama  pants from Anthropologie, Ivanka Trump nude and black lady-like heels.

Hint: I like to keep a healthy glow all year by using self tanner lotions. My personal favorite is St. Tropez mousse but I also use Jergens mixed with baby lotion as a daily moisturizer. 

Hair-story: I like sexy messy hair! Big, lose waves that look disheveled... I love brushing my hair to the side and playing peek-a-boo with my eye. I recently bought this high-tech interchangeable barrel iron and I am convinced it is one of God's gifts to earth. I use it once and my hair stays curled up until the next wash and I also don't use hairspray. 

Lastly, be thankful for something today, or tomorrow morning right when you wake up. Start and end on a positive note, fill your heart with love.
