GOLDEN AUTUMN

I've been loving mustard yellow lately in sweaters, dresses, bags and really everything that it comes in. Just when I thought it was getting cooler and summer was officially over, we get 80 degree weather in October! This dress has short sleeves which is perfect for the warmer fall days and I paired it with this lightweight kimono and felt hat to tie the look together.

In the City




It's the first day of my spring break and I started it off with a good old fashion shopping day. Its still cold here on the east coast but hoping for some warmer weather before break ends! Its hard to pick out what to wear when the weather starts changing and become stuck on wearing a light outfit but then have to hold a coat in case it gets too cold!So today I initially went for black tee with gold detailing, a leather jacket and jeans but then threw on my coat because it was a lot colder than I expected!
I actually bought this scarf while shopping to keep me warm!

INSTAGRAM DIARY NO. 2

 The past month has been very memorable and exciting! I've been updating Instagram very frequently as I began December in NYC, flew to Los Angeles a few days later and began the new year by seeing Sam Smith in concert back in DC!

Green Smoothie

This is a simple healthy green smoothie recipe which takes a few minutes and tastes delicious!  Its  great for breakfast, before or after a workout and great for the summer season. Its sweet and the fruit masks the taste of the green veggies but still gives you the nutrients of the kale and spinach. 


1 tsp. of  chia seeds and 1 tsp. of flaxseed
Frozen Strawberries
1/2 cup kale
1 banana
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup spinach






                                                                                     Enjoy!
