Silver and Stripes

I chose to wear a skirt today (just for le shoot) as a kind of Spring preview. I changed in to black jeans after, with the same shoes and jewelry. This outfit could also be pair with flats for a more casual look. This Spring look out for black and white outfit combinations, black and white stripes (sometimes paired with a pop of color) as well as geometric looks and patterns. I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to some warmth and an opportunity to wear fewer layers. The weather in Boston has been pretty "ugh" lately. As you can tell from the gloominess of le photos, it was pretty "ugh" today and I think I might have rained/snowed a bit (after le shoot).


These last few weeks have been a whirlwind. School has kept me busy and away from le blog and it looks like that might not change. I definitely will not be posting weekly, perhaps every two or three weeks depending on my work load - I will not disappear, I promise :) I will also try to put up "Trends on a Budget" post soon as well as some of my favorite runway shows from the S/S 13 and F/W13 Fashion Weeks (Milan, Paris, London, etc). I am planning a Spring-esque post for next week though :) So keep an eye out!

Goodnight my lovelies.

HAPPY MONDAY!


Yours Truly,

Resolutions

Well, hello there lovelies! I know, I know, It's been a long time but school has honestly been kicking my butt. I have been busier that ever with life and....EVERYTHING. I promise I will be back with full force next semester but for now this is my last post of year. 

As the year draws slowly to an end, I am re-evaluating my life, my priorities, my friends, the decisions I've and the person I have become. I have realized that it is okay to change but the question I ask myself is, am I a better person now than I was last year? have I grown? Honestly, I don't know but I do know that I have more time to become the woman I want to be and I am not there yet. So my journey continues and until I reach my peak I will work harder than ever. 

I have had an amazing year and I am hoping next year is even better. I am letting go of everything(and everyone) that has hurt me and embracing all the AMAZING memories I have made. I have learned that you can't be good at everything, you can't be loved and understood by everyone, and you need to accept those that actually DO care for, love, understand and accept you, flaws and all. Most importantly live life for yourself and not for anyone else. Life is way too short to be living out some else's dreams; it is way too short to be living life to please any one but yourself.

Strive to make our world better, strive to BE better, strive to LIVE your dreams. There is no easy way out. Some of you think we are still young but the truth is we start building our values right here, right now. What do you stand for?

To all of you, 

Happy Finals

Happy Holidays

Have a  HAPPY HAPPY and BLESSED New Year

and please please stay safe where ever you are.

Yours Forever,

Marcie

Lady in Red

watch as I strut for Faithie lol :)

I'm in New Orleans now and I miss Boston terribly. It feels like the first day of school and I'm the new girl...I had butterflies and everything lol. Wish me luck! First day of work is usually the most important, first impressions and all, and I think I made a pretty good first impression. Once again, I find myself being the only female on my team, its not bad but it would be extra nice to have a woman to talk to once in a while. lol.

I have avoided "tight" dresses since the end of high school but this dress spoke to me and it said, elegant. Forget the little black dress, this summer be fearless and rock that red :)

I have one more post for you guys until I go MIA. But Faithie and Leonie will help me keep the blog running until I'm to find someone to take the pictures.

So it's Monday and it's pretty much over but...HAPPY MONDAY :)


Yours Truly,


Marcie
