K. Konfession: Be Mindful

LETS KONFESS TO FEEL LESS STRESSED

 

 

I Konfess: There are days that I don't feel like doing a thing. No hair combing. No clothes ironing. No teeth brushing. Actually you can omit the last No because it hasn't gotten that bad for me yet. Any hoot, you get the picture. You may feel drained, tired, or depressed to the point of what seems like No return. We have all experienced a low moment at least once in our lives.

 

I just want to encourage you to guard your mind from negative thoughts that try to cloud your thinking. As things enter your mind they can then become actions and presumably an eventual way of life. It is vital that we think about what we are thinking about.

On The Run

I am most certainly a sporty casual chic kind of gal as previously mentioned. Fashionably functional clothing tops my list every time so when Baggage Boutique posted these animal print joggers it was love at first sight. Add a crisp white tee and a statement necklace (of course) to complete this simply sassy ensemble.

Give Them The Boot

Short, tall, tapestry, and suede are all the tasty options that Fall footwear is serving. Boots are at their absolute Boho best this season. Be it punk rock pretty or chunky chic, we are giving sandals the boot.

Peeping Tom

What woman wouldn't light up like a Christmas tree at the thought of all eyes being on her? I sure would. But because these days fashion seems to be taking a road less traveled, this old school saying has become very literal.

Kendall Jenner was photographed rocking an amaze shimmer eye crop top with ultra white skinnies that framed her lean physique. It looks like the eyes have it! Case closed.

Say It With Your Chest

Fall fashion is all the talk these days. Dignitary divas like Beyoncé and Kim K have been spotted sporting gold plated lettering across their chest making very stylish statements. For an even louder look layer your nameplate with lengthy links.

Cut It Out

Loving the skin you're in has definitely taken on new levels this season. More seems to be more for fall as ravishingly revealing party dresses and gowns grace red carpets and runways from New York to LA.

What's The Point

If there are two things I love in a shoe, it's a sleek pointy toe and the stability of a wedge. Prepare to be plummeted into heel heaven because this season those two styles merge seamlessly into one shoe! The pointy wedge is on the rise with embellished soles, straps, bells and whistles (well maybe not whistles). These cool kicks are being spotted in leather, suede, solids, and of course prints from Zara to Alice and Olivia.

Break Up to Makeup

I'm more of the white tshirt and distressed denim kind of gal. Okay and maybe a statement necklace and huge cocktail ring too. Needless to say, I'm not one who wears a full face of makeup. My hectic schedule and busy life often times just doesn't permit a novice like myself to "beat" my face. But when I do feel like throwing on a pair of pumps and going glam for the day to break up my casual chic routine, I call my friend for marvelous makeup help.

Money Makeover

If you are your own best asset, naturally you will work diligently to keep your outward appearance intact. We devote a great deal of time to sprucing up our hair and applying makeup, not to mention the hours spent toiling in retail stores in mad search of clothing and shoes. But how much time can you say you've spent this week alone beautifying your finances?

By no means am I deemed a financial guru! I am, however, of the belief that you are what you eat. With that being said if I feed my mind financial knowledge then that gives me excessive access to build wealth. The following are common traits that millionaires share according to Mindset2succedd.com:

Vocation- This simply means that wealth can build easily when you operate in an area of passion.

Risk/Reward- A lot of times you have to step out of the boat and take the risk of walking on water to reap a huge reward.

Salesmanship- When operating a business of any sort you have to possess the ability to engage people so that they make the connection and buy into your brand.

Vision- It is vital to write your vision and make it plain so that you can have concrete plans that will serve as your blueprint for success.

Thoughts- What you think leads to what you do. Keep your thinking positive and passionate. Whatsoever is great think on that and success will follow.

Mission: Transition

Right about now, pending your geographical location, you may find yourself lodged between sassy summer days and classy cool nights. I find that a great way to dress for transitional weather is to layer. A simple white tee and cotton maxi skirt is sure to keep you feeling light and airy during warmer temperatures. What's even better is that you still have room to add a denim jacket and an infinity scarf without creating too much bulk. Finish your look with comfy flats, a side purse, and studs and viola!

Mission transition accomplished.

Right on Target

Word on the style street is that Target will be getting more and more fashion savvy as time progresses. Designer Phillip Lim is set to release his 3.1 collection in Target stores in a few short weeks. The line will be displayed as "Morning", "Noon", and "Night" categories to put the busy on-the-go shopper more at ease. I must say that I am definitely looking forward to what the ultra fab Target and the luxe Lim have in store!

Phillip Lim is always on target.

Definitely Denim

Falls forecast calls for heavy winds and even heavier wefts. Delight in the redefined appeal of the infinite classic we call denim. From durable to dainty prepare to feast your eyes on cascades of bleached, washed, and dyed denim ensembles.

Pair a light-weight denim top with your slacks or pencil skirt for a polished work-ready look. Or layer it over a shift dress and top it off with a thin belt to define the waistline. And by all means don’t be fearful of double dipping your denim. A super dark wash of skinnies coupled with a light acid washed button up screams casual chic.

Whether it’s years old or days new, it’s definitely denim!
