I had my outfit all picked out this morning as I normally do the night before (I'm a little bit of an organize freak in real life), but when I turned on the news this morning I realized wearing pants on a day where there is a heat wave warning, probably isn't the greatest idea. Not to mention I woke up super late this morning! I was up late last night trying to book a flight to NYC. To make a long story short I was in one of those "PJ moods", meaning if I could go to work in my pj's I would! I had no idea what to wear...When this happens I usually aim towards a simple look. Sometimes simple looks can be the most sophisticated ones. I grabbed this shirt dress that was buried deep in my closet from last year and through it on. When I first put it on I looked like I was drowning in the dress and it looked super "boxy" which I'm not a huge fan of. To add shape I put on a simple black and gold belt and voila! adding shape to an outfit makes such a difference. Because the dress is so plain and simple I wanted to spice it up a little by wearing a statement shoe, so what better statement then these! And they are on SALE! Also super comfy, which is perfect for a day where you just want to feel comfortable but still well put together. For accessories I kept it simple with a gold watch and 3 of my most recent Kinsley Armelle purchases!

THAT TIME I HAD A QUARTER LIFE CRISIS FOR LIKE 4 MONTHS



SKORT, BLOUSE (SIMILAR), SHOES, HAT, SUNGLASSES, NECKLACE (SIMILAR), WATCH, KINSLEY ARMELLE BRACELETS

In march I turned the big 2-5... Ever since I was little I wanted to be 25 years old...I'm still trying to figure out why I would want to be an adult, because being an adult requires adulting and as we all know adulting is hard! Nevertheless, besides wanting to be an adult, I wanted to be 25 because I thought by that age I would 'have it all'. What I mean by having it all is; having a job that I love, being married and starting a family. My parents married young and had my brother (the first born) at the age of 26! I wanted the same thing, but as I'm sure some of you can relate life doesn't always go as planned. When I turned 25 I told my mom 'Mother, I'm having a quarter life crisis'. A single 25 year old women, working towards her dreams. As much as I wish I had what I dreamed I would have when I was younger, I'm happy the way my life has played out and it wasn't until last week that I realized this. For the last 4 months I've been overthinking every decision I have made and thinking what if I would have done things differently, would I have had everything I ever wanted by the age of 25? The answer to my own question is; life is what it is and things aren't always going to go the way you planned. The important thing is to do whatever makes you happy and to work towards the things you want. I may not be married, I may not have a family but when the time is right it will happen. As for my career, I'm getting closer and closer to where I want to be. So I may not have it all right now at the age of 25, but one day I will and with that in mind I'm happy!

SHORTEST HORROR STORY; ALMOST SOLD OUT!

SHOP THIS LOOK: BLAZER, TANK, SHORTS, SHOES, SUNGLASSES, NECKLACE (SIMILAR), EARINGS, WALLET

 

Saw it...loved it...found out it was on sale...stole my heart! That was the story of the purchase of this blazer. When I first saw it at Aritzia I thought for sure the price was going to be over what I was willing to spend, but when I saw a sale ticket and price I was like #WINNING! I love it because it is super unique, yet it goes with a lot of my current pieces in my wardrobe. Not to mention it can be worn in the fall ( I know don't mention fall!!) I checked online and they don't have many sizes left in this color scheme but they do have it in a black/grey color scheme. If they don't have your size online then I suggest going to an Aritzia store, a lot of the times they have it in the stores but not online!

 

Have a lovely weekend!

Bedroom Remodelling

Happy Friday everyone! Thought I would do something different on the blog today. I am remodeling my room and I have been doing some inspiration browsing on Pinterest (literally could spend hours on Pinterest!) My current colour pallet in my room is white, grey and black, I still love this colour combo, but I feel I need a change! My new colour combo obsession is Pink, grey and gold, I find that these colours together are fun yet, elegant and feminine. The remodelling will start shortly and I have already bought some accessories to work around so stay tuned for bedroom updates! In the mean time I put together this inspiration collage of things I found!

I think everyone at some point in their life have experienced failure, I know I have MANY times! Being an athelete growing up I had a ton of times where I felt like a failure and just wanted to give up, but it taught me to push through and to always get back up! I found those past failures as a gymnast really helped when dealing with failure in other aspect of my life; whether it be something at work that I failed at or a failed relationship. Failure is a huge fear for a lot of people, but like a lot of other things in life, its part of life. It's just one of those things that no one wants to go through, but is necessary in order for us to learn and grow as a person. Although no one likes that feeling of failure it really doesn't have to be as daunting as most of us make it to be. I think if we learn how to handle ourselves when things don't go exactly go as planned, then failure can somewhat be turned into a positive thing. Here are some of the things I try to remember when I've failed at something in the past...

DON'T BEATING YOURSELF UP: Be kind to yourself, failure happens to even the best of us...Everybody fails!! Just because something didn't work out doesn't make you any less of a person. Being hard on yourself and dwelling on what happened, really won't help the situation. In fact it will actually make it harder to get past. We all want to succeed in everything we do but beating ourselves up if we don't is not the solution!

LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES: As much as people don't want to admit, failing is actually in a weird way a positive thing. There's no shame in failing, so use it as an opportunity to grow and better yourself. Instead of beating yourself up after failing, take the time to look at the situation and ask yourself- what went wrong? What can you change in the future? What can I do differently?

TAKE A BREAK: One thing I highly suggest after a huge failure is to give yourself a break so you can clear your head, and get a fresh look on things. I like to get away after a huge failure because I feel it's very therapeutic.

START FRESH: If you failed the first time and you are ready to give it another shot, make sure to give yourself a fresh start. Wipe the slate clean and don't hold onto past mistakes. If you start over but keep dwelling on your failures, you're never going to be able to move forward. Don't sabotage your fresh start with things that have happened in the past and can't be changed.

 

Picking yourself up after failure is very important and is something that no one really teaches you. I hope this post will help or motivate you all if you are currently going through failure, or the next time you are struggling with failure!

SHOP THIS LOOK: DRESS (scroll down when open!), SHOES, ETERNITY BRACELET (Kinsley Armelle, use code BEYOUTIFULSTEPH15OFF), MCIVOR BRACELETS, WATCH, SUNGLASSES, EARINGS, WATER BOTTLE

 

Is it just me or does this dress scream 'summer'? I love this this easy, breezy sleeveless shirt dress. I find even though it's a loose fit; the elastic waist band gives the dress a beautiful shape and is flattering for the body, not to mention how comfortable it is! Instead of doing a neutral shoe like I normally would (because of the bright colour) I decided to pair it with leopard print pumps! I absolutely love this colour and leopard print together. The shoes are Ivanka Trump and I actually got them from Town Shoe for $80.00!! I couldn’t find them online but if you visit a Town Shoe store it's possible they will have them.

Have a beYOUtiful day lovelies!
