Furce of Nature

Happy 2015, you guys! Ready to take on the new year and this winter that's been anything but natural. Look ma, no snow! And it's been HOT, like 40... Haha. #MichiganHumor

But as long as I can show some skin and not turn into an icicle, I'm good. At first I was skeptical of this faux fur statement coat, but paired with some high-waisted skinnies, this 70's vibe gives me no chill. 

No word on whether a lint roller can be considered an accessory yet. Groovy.

Port: Feliz 2015, gentchy! Prontinha pra enfrentar o ano novo e o resto desse inverno que está muito estranho. Quedê neve?! E tá até calorzinho, com todos seus 5 graus.... Haha. #PiadexDeMichigan

E com o "calor," tá dando pra montar looks sem virar picolé. Primeira vez que vi esse casaco de faux fur, eu não tinha certeza se tinha gostado. Mas juntando com uma jeans skinny de cintura alta, dá um ar tão anos 70 que eu amei! Chuchu beleza, galera! kkkkk 

GET THE LOOK!

WEDDING 'DO

Well, not this she… Went to Alex & Raquel’s beautiful wedding this weekend with my family. A chance to dress up and participate in someone else’s big day is always welcome! We had a lot of fun, aside from me being super sick all weekend. :(

What did everyone else do this holiday weekend? Any red, white, and blue stories to tell? ‘Mericah!

THE BEST BLUES

Life always has a pinch of the blues, doesn’t it? And if this outfit were life - pretty and frilly at first glance - it really would be just average and bland, if it weren’t for the blues. 

So ladies (and fellas), make the best of the bluesy moments. Listen to what they’re trying to say to you. There is a reason you’re feeling down, and deep down, we all know how to change it. But when the familiar feels more comfortable, it’s easy to remain complacent. 

Be pro-active. Take your blues and shove them into everyone’s face, and if you’ve got them on your feet, perhaps kick everyone’s butt. Why not? Carry your heart on your poofy, striped sleeve. Because that’s how you can show them who you are.

And that’s show yourself, who you are meant to be.

Have a great week!
