Coco Chanel: Fragrance Edition
One of my favorite perfumes is Chanel Chance, I simply love this perfume because it smells so great and classic and also smells similar to Chanel No5 which is what my grandmother used to wear and I was always amazed by the way she smelled.
I am a lover of perfume and fragrances, I love to smell as good as I look or even better. I feel like a look is not complete without a great perfume. Every scent by Chanel is always so timeless and classic like Coco Chanel herself and that's why I love it. On my list of favorite perfumes this is number one.

Men's clothing for WIN!
Jacket: Forever 21// Shirt: Men's Tommy Hilfiger (Thrifted)// Jeans: Pitaya// Shoes: Ego Official//
Who said that women couldn't wear men's clothing? Well whoever said that lied! A lot of men's clothing actually looks better on women anyway, menswear on women has been a trend off and on for awhile, it's been such a trend that some designers and retailers created women's clothing with men's silhouettes and boxier silhouettes.
There's nothing I love more than a men's white button up, women can wear it as a dress or asjust a oversized shirt or anything they want because it gives them full freedom to do whatever. I thrifted this amazing Tommy Hilfiger white button up for only like $6 and paired it was a faux suede and fur jacket and jeans just to create a tomboy chic type of look and I loved how it turned out, this look was great for just a chill date to the movies.

90s Fashion in the 2000s
Sweater: Coogi// Fur Scarf: Forever 21// Boots: Akira//
As I was looking for a Christmas outfit trying not to purchase anything because I already have enough clothes, I came across one of my dad's old Coogi sweaters. Coogi was around back in the 90s and worn by some of our greatest and most stylish rappers and other people in the hip hop industry. I also wore the Coogi dresses and sweaters as a little kid. Coogi was a very popular streetwear brand.
Fashion always has a way of repeating itself and I don't mind bring something back in style that hasn't been brought back in style or wearing things that may possibly never be back in style. I paired the Coogi sweater with thigh high boots and a emerald green fur scarf to add more style to the look and bring out more colors in the sweater. Since the sweater was men's it was oversized on me so I wore it as a dress. Never be afraid to do what you want with your style because I'm definitely not, your style is yours so own it!
All black + Subtle colors
Coat: Forever 21// Dress: Forever 21// Clutch: Forever 21// Chocker: Forever 21// Shoes: Shiekh Shoes
I attended a wedding this past weekend which required the guest to wear all black which is so different than your traditional wedding and I absolutely love it. But with everyone having to wear the same color you kind of all look like you have on the same thing so I had to find a way to look different from everyone else like I usually do so I added a few pops of color that weren't too noticeable.
I decided to wear this all black coat with this emerald green fur collar that I absolutely love and good thing is that the green wasn't bright and you could only tell it was green up close. Also I wore shoes that had a tad bit of white on them and they tied the look together and made it unique.

Plaid Shirts + Turtlenecks
Shirt: Forever 21// Turtleneck: Forever 21// Overalls: Love Culture// Boots: Calvin Klein// Purse: Forever 21//
The Winter time calls for layers and more layers. The brutal weather can make you want to put on all the clothes you own at once, you could do that but the most reasonable way to stay warm and cute is layering!
You can layer anything whether its putting a dress over a shirt or sweater etc. Those extra layers will keep your body protected but will also have you looking extra chic. With this look I just decided to wear a turtleneck under my overalls and a long plaid button up on top for extra warmth, make sure all you fashionistas stay fly and warm this season!

Pop of Purple
Jacket: Unknown // Shirt: Forever 21// Jeans: Forever 21// Shoes: Aldo//
Don't ever be afraid to add a pop of color, especially when it comes in the form of 5 inch heels and fur! It's always fun to play around with mixing prints and adding color. Sometimes you may like your outfit but feel that there is something missing but then you'll add a pop of color or a third piece and be ready to go!
With this look I started out with just the shirt, boyfriend jeans, and boots but I felt like there was something missing so I added the jacket since it was purple like the shoes and the look came all together. Sometimes when getting dressed you have to add or remove a piece to make it look just like you want. When it come to adding pops of color you can go from 0 to 100 real quick which can be good or bad so be careful but never be afraid!
Velvet Green Pants in the Holiday Spirit
Bodysuit: Zara// Pants: H&M// Earrings: H&M// Shoes: Lola Shoetique// Clutch: Forever 21//
I've had these pants for a couple months now, but hadn't worn them because I couldn't exactly decide how I wanted to wear them or when. When I saw them in the store I knew I had to get them simply because I love velvet clothing and they were on sale for only $5 (You can't beat an amazing price like that).
The other night I was going to an event and decided I needed to just wear them because they were amazing and need to be seen and in pictures and Christmas time is the perfect time to wear this emerald green color. I chose to pair these pants with black to keep it simple but my back being out in the bodysuit gave the look even more flare. I kept the jewelry fairly simple but these earrings were a must just because of how glamourous they are. There's no better time to wear emerald green velvet pants then during the holidays so why not!

Camo Jackets + Suede Skirts
Jacket: Thrifted at Village Discount// Shirt: Forever 21 (Distressed by me)// Skirt: Windsor// Shoes: Ego//
Olive Green and Camouflage are great especially when you put them together, for the Thanksgiving holiday I got dressed up but not how most people would expect. I decided to make a dressy outfit edgy by adding this Men's Camo jacket that I thrifted for only $12. I love when you are able to dress down a dressy look which is exactly what I was going for. If I do say so myself I was also giving off a bit of Yeezy Season vibes. I decided to pair a suede olive green skirt I got for $7 with a off white mesh shirt I distressed and my nude mesh heels that I absolutely love, with this jacket being Men's it was very oversized which I loved, but for me to not look like I was drowning I cuffed the sleeves up and that made the look even more spectacular. During the holiday season you don't always have to go out and buy a whole new outfit you can just pull some things out of your closet and you definitely don't have to spend a ton of money, this whole look was probably around $100 (even including the shoes) and it was all things I already owned. A look like this is great for any occasion when you want to dress up and be comfortable, but add a little bit of edge.
Leather Coats + Denim Dress
Dress: Forever 21// Coat: Passed down from my grandmother// Purse: Louis Vuitton// Shoes: Unknown//
I love the Winter for being able to wear amazing coats, there's nothing like a statement coat that keeps you warm. This leather coat I'm wearing was passed down from my grandmother and I'm pretty sure it's expensive because of how heavy and durable it is and the amazing real fur collar that's on it! I love being stylish and comfortable and this tied up denim dress and long leather coat did just that, this denim dress is very comfortable yet very cute because of the white tie-up accent and the coat topped it all off, and even though it's cold out I decided to wear sunglasses and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!
If you don't feel like getting that dressed up you can throw on a plain and comfortable outfit but add a statement third piece like a coat, jacket or sweater and your look will be transformed to look like you tried to go above and beyond, when you probably didn't

Red zipper "shirt" and asymmetrical button ups
Zipper skirt: Unknown boutique// White button up: Forever 21// Coat: Thrifted for $4// Jeans: Forever 21// Shoes: Ego//
I absolutely love this look that I put together, I'm not a person that follows trends but I love the trend of adding a collared shirt underneath sweatshirts or other shirts and asymmetrical button ups. With this look I just took things out of my closet and made them into the look I want like I pretty much do with all of my outfits, this red zipper top is actually a skirt that I wore maybe once and it is now too short for me to wear as a skirt and the white top is just a regular button up that I buttoned differently to make it look the way it does, I love this look and I'm a firm believer that you can make any look you want without having to go out and buy new clothes.
