We are almost at the midpoint of 2018! It is astonishing to think about how fast the year has gone by. Apparently, I have lost sight of all the goals that I have set for myself and though I have achieved a few; it is not enough. Back to the drawing board for me. Time to refocus, hustle and create a harmonious balance of all. Tell me. How are you doing with your achievements? If you’re right on schedule…congratulations! Care to share a few pointers? If you’re like me and refocusing….we can help each other. :o)
Layers & Blazers with Charlotte Russe.
Has Spring finally…sprung? Hopefully, the warm weather is here to stay. However, I am still very hesitant to leave my home without a sweater of some sort to drape across my shoulders. The weather in New York is still cool as the temps still remain in the upper 50’s low 60’s. I am still dressing in layers during these temperatures. I love blazers and cardigans, especially for spring. The Notched Lapel Blazer is an absolutely perfect piece. I wore it one warm Sunday afternoon to meet up with one of my blogger friends. I paired it with a black tee shirt and Skinny Jeans from Torrid. To add a touch of glam, I wore my Rose Gold Michael Kors sneakers that I snagged at Marshalls.
Loft Plus Collection: 5 Chic Must Have Blazers for Spring
Yes, Spring has arrived and I am here for it! Unfortunately, in my wonderful state of New York the memo somehow got lost in transit. Nevertheless, I have already begun my Spring wish list. I am looking forward to finally putting on some bright colors and flouncy skirts. Gone are the days of rocking booty shorts and crop tops. Not a fan, and I prefer more age appropriate attire. Classic versatile pieces will be the only additions to my closet. I was absolutely thrilled when Loft launched their plus collection. They have the most beautiful skirts, tops and pants. You know I had to look at their jeans too. I love a good pair of jeans (more on that later).
Blog-Gress Goals! 5 Goals for the Month of April.
Happy Easter! Today is a little unorthodox being Easter and April Fools Day. Today I decided to forgo tradition and not attend church service and cook a huge an Easter feast. I needed to be still. It has been a long time since I have written a post. Work responsibilities, especially preparing for tax season has taken first priority. Curvy Intuition has always been my creative outlet. Writing is therapeutic and provides freedom. My life as a 30+ woman living, working and existing in New York is pretty structured. What I discovered during my hiatus is that I need to incorporate my therapy into my life. I need to create a work/ life balance which is something that is very difficult. Even more difficult to admit.
At the beginning of each month, my first post would normally be about goals. I want to continue this important tradition. This is my way of holding myself accountable. Some of the goals that I have set forth are attained; others are not and I accept that. However, it is important for me to know where I am going and monitor the progress of this blog. Bear with me. I have become so detached since the beginning of the year and have spent most of my day’s knee deep in tax returns and other financial obligations. I love my job and I love being an accountant, but just between us… One of my biggest dreams is to be self-employed. I have spent most of my life in a financial position furthering the goals and fattening the pockets of my employers. Only through focus, hard work, ambition, blood, sweat and ultimately tears can I finally make it a reality.
Winter Worthy with a Touch of Sparkle!
Finally, Frosty Winter is here! The chilly air, the snow storms, the cozy hats, and gloves…I LOVE IT ALL. I am here for all things winter. Perhaps I should mention that I am a February winter baby! Anywho, if there is one thing that I love to wear during this cold weather is sweaters. Cozy sweaters with a little character. Something like this black sparkle sweater that I got from Torrid a few years ago. I love the sparkly poisonous perfume bottle decor on the front. Super cute and super fashionable.
