All Black Everything


Don't we all know of that one outfit that works every time. No need for the latest trend or the most expensive of pieces, if it's kept simple and neutral it will most definitely work. As for me, and I would say everyone out there, the outfit is all black with something Denim. Weather you go with a black maxi and a denim vest, or black leggings and a chambray shirt. The concept is the same these two are such good lovers they'll always make you feel good. Currently I've been more into the high waisted  pant. I'm not sure if this is considered a trend since we've always had them, but they are comfy and I love them! This was a nice little change from my usual stripes and combat boots, which you would know what I'm talking about if you're following me on Instagram! So get to it people's!!!
So aside from the dreadful news that hit me this week of my favorite Starbucks coffee being discontinued (rest in coffee heaven Hazelnut Macciatto) I'd say it's been a pretty dam good beginning of a week. Thank you for strolling by!!!

Grays for Winter

Here we go! How fun is this little gray cape of mine? Well it's not really a cape but I like to call it that haha! I have had this forever and rarely even used it, why? It beats me it's super cool and versatile specially for California weather since it's never really super cold here. The quarter sleeve keeps me from suffocating! And the color goes with everything. Neutral is usually my go to they're timeless pieces that will just move with you into any season. No need for new clothes unless you're really into the trend. On this occasion we spend the day at Downtown Riverside looking at the lights festival and it was crazy windy! This turtle neck little sweater I got at Forever21 for supper cheap considering the thickness of it. Any who they're predicting a bit of rain in the next few days I hope you enjoy it along with this Outfit!

New Year, New Gray!

 Here's to the first post of the year!! Writing with positive vibes and sending you all good positive energy. Because New Year's signify new beginnings and we all need clean slates, so cheers to you and I starting off January on the right side. I have so many plans for this new year that I can hardly contain myself! Mostly is just about working on myself... and I know y'all probably don't want to hear the same old "New Year New Me" BS but it's really not like that at all. I believe we can all improve and better our self's while still keeping our true self. However there is always room for improvement in everything we do. From the way we behave to the things we do just for fun. For example this year I am giving away too many compliments, why you might ask? Well, I want to surround myself with positive energy and most important positive people and what you put out there you become! So continue reading you Awesome Human you!!
Second I will forgive more, this doesn't necessarily mean my heart will forget, but it goes like this: The only people who deserve a permanent place in your head are those who deserve a permanent place in your heart. Regardless I shall try best.
Third I will Love anyone and everything probably too much until I've realized its not worth it. Still I shall give it the benefit of the doubt. 
Lastly I shall actually Do and too much of everything. If that even made sense, but for example: Even the little things like laugh too much, I shall Do the dance, I shall Do the homework, I will study too much, and I will eat more of the green foods! 
So there is my little mantra I hope it works out for you and I, I hope that great things come our way this year with hard work, dedication, and positivity everything is possible!!! 

Now on to this super chic look, this was actually the dress I wore for Christmas Eve and just threw on my Ruby Woo and I was set. I was so happy when we were invited to another get together and still was able to rock it in a more subtle way minus the red lip. Gray is usually my go to color, its so neutral I can just add anything I can possibly think of. So this is my take on minimalism which I will master by the end of this year! Hope you all like it remember to follow all my social media platforms for more pics and opportunity to chat me up!!!

Lumber Jack


Hola! My beautiful people. Today I feel the need to pay you guys back some compliments and not just the "looking good!" ones, but a little beyond. There aren't many of you that follow the Blog and it's content and I swear I am at blame for that. Lack of effort maybe but mainly lack of time. I am very much sure we all are and trust I am not crying you a river or complaining because I'd like to think I spend my time rather wisely #itsthelittlethings that have always mattered. Any who today is all about you and thanking you for the support mainly on Instagram, Thank you for the sweet comments the DM's of how you love my style and the simplicity that I bring to the Blog. These DM's have also brought to my attention the couple questions on how to wear certain pieces that are still in your closet waiting to be worn. I am so happy that I can be of some use to you guys in any way possible. So before moving on I really want to thank you for your kind words and your little virtual kisses of affection, it really is incredible to me that complete strangers can support a person the way you guys have to me. 
Back to these questions I have been asked many times on mixing patterns even textures and here's the low down:
Leopard has become a neutral, don't be afraid of pairing it with almost anything. Plaid, stripes, gingham in a smaller scale also looks great. 
Leopard and cameo Gosh pls try!!!
Floral prints and polka dots, or polka dots with stripes is super cute and very girly.
Leather is also a great neutral for mixing textures like with fur and suede. 
Black, gray, khaki, and at times any solid color also fall in the neutral category.
These are just a few but look up Olivia Palermo, she is the queen of mixing anything that woman can do no wrong.
Now for my simple example to share with you all take plaid and mix a chic patterned scarf and you are set for the chilly mornings this Cali weather brings us!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mad For Plaid





It's October friends!!! I am beyond exited (not so much about the weather) but because we begin to plan for anything Halloween. My son Reyli was born in this month and before I actually got the hang of it, his party planning would freak me out. Now we actually enjoy it and we've made it a tradition for us as parents to dress up with the kids. So I was thinking I can actually help you create some easy and inexpensive alternatives to actually buying your costume. so in the next few posts I will have that for you so stay tuned!
Now about this outfit, this flannel plaid shirt I bought some time ago at Fashion Q and have had it for over 4 yrs does that say anything to you? Well it should say stick to classics! These items will withstand the high and lows of fashion promise. Now these pants are from Macy's and I'm usually not  the type to go crazy with tie dye or any type of pattern, but I am a sucker for some shredded details. Now the shoes I shall not lie they are BCBGeneration and they were on sale! I was crazy mad about this outfit and I am still totally obsessed with these heels Super comfy!

Happy Hump Day and 1st of October see you soon!
