STYLE INSPIRATION SERIES: PART 8

One of my favorite wardrobe pieces, the Trouser Pant also referred to the Party Pant! Well, maybe I just call it that.....

Whether they be Silk, printed, cropped, flared or crepe de chine pants that are cocktail-party-appropriate, the trouser pant will also serve you well on evenings when it's too cold to wear a skirt, when you're in conservative company or when you just feel like mixing it up a bit for a bit more 70’s sass! They can go from the office to a stylish night out on the town. I love a daring high-waist pair, but feel free to play around with a silhouette to suit your dressy-top lineup and high-heel options. Nothing sexier than a tailored pair of trousers on a woman. 

Invest in timeless pieces, and you’ll never be at a loss for what to wear for whatever occasion and season.

TUESDAY EATS!

Nothing beats the heat better than a fresh summer salad! You get your greens in and your vitamin C dose while your taste buds dance a dance of joy! Swap out a potato or macaroni salad for something more fresh! Try it and enjoy :)

MUCH NEEDED INSPIRATION TODAY....




THIS & THAT

Hope you all had a great weekend! Just want to share a few things while I sip my morning coffee.....
 
 

 
 
#1. I started this book on Friday and cant seem to put it down! Its a truly enjoyable read. Ideal for finding a cozy nook (couch corner with my Voluspa Macaron candle burning), enjoying lemon water  all alone learning about the Ooh La La! I plan on picking up her other 2 Parisian books  Bonjour Happiness and her first book French Women Don't Sleep Alone
 
The author writes about her affection on finding why french women have so much of, how you say..... je nais se quoi! The book also gives women permission to just be sometimes, to love, to be sexy, to enjoy life as naturally as you can with pure confidence in who you are. So many American women don't know how to do that...but Jaimie Cat Callan does....and her charming book tells us how  - Thank you Jamie!


 
#2. Lana Del Ray's - This is what makes us girls... has been on repeat all weekend! Her voice is haunting but her album slightly depressing so I have to pick and choose the songs that are enjoyable for me & this one takes the cake - Summer Sadness & Young and Beautiful are my runner ups.
 
 
 
#3. My new Gym song - starting off slow for a warm up on the bike and headed into a hard intense bike ride to the beat when Jay Z's rap comes in. I'm obsessed. Cant wait to workout to this for the next month! (also hoping he appears at Beyonce's concert at the Barclay's Center next month)
 
& that's all she wrote.....How was your weekend?

SEE THIS DO THAT

I came across the company, Warby Parker, and fell in love with the concept. A company that gives back to the less fortunate always makes the top of my to-buy list.
 
"Eyeglasses to those less fortunate are a tool of empowerment... "
 
 
 
& I couldn't agree more.
 
Love this!  Peep this video to learn why!
