Your Superhero Piece

I always like to start the week off with a hot (and strong) coffee and a good dose of fashion.

In my Fall Fashion post I talked about how much I love a cape look. It has been a fashion staple of mine for years but I have really been loving seeing the fabulous cape on so many runways for the 2018 fall/winter season. The cape truly does speak to me so I’m giving you five reasons to get on board with my favorite trend this season.

  1. If you like the coat draped over your shoulders look but actually need to move your arms the cape will let you do this and still look chic. No need to be worried if your coat is going to slip off your shoulders.

  2. It will truly elevate any look. Use it to dress up your jeans (like I did in my fall fashion post), or really kick your skirt or dress outfit up a notch.

  3. The cape is a great alternative to a blazer if you are looking to switch it up.

  4. Make your all black look a little more interesting. MK and I usually wear black to weddings when we are working and sometimes that can get a little boring. I mean I LOVE an all black look but adding a cape keeps it very chic and more interesting.

  5. Why not feel like a modern day superhero?


I hope your Monday goes by as fast as the weekend did!

Chic & Boozy

,

Hello Friday and hello weekend I'm so ready for you! Mostly because its our last one off in a loooooooooong time. 

It's no secret that Fall Fashion is on my brain and I'm pretty much living for it right now. So for today's Martini Moment, I bring you a chic DIY and a very fun and potent drink recipe.

I've said it a million times: I love feathers!! So when they are on the runways I basically freak out. And there are a lot of feathers on the runways for this season. Today, I'm sharing a fun way that you can make your own earrings with the feather trend because not only are feathers on garments they are on accessories! This DIY is quick and so SO trendy!

Here is what you need: 

(I went to Hobby Lobby) 

Wire of your desired color

Your choice of feathers and beads

Wire cutters

E6000 glue

J Hooks

Simply cut your wire as big or small as you'd like your earring. Then, loop your feathers through the wire (with these, from Hobby Lobby you can adjust the plastic loop at the top), add some beads on the sides, and then glue your wire circle with the E6000 glue (or solder if you're confident enough which I was not). After that, snap your circle into your J Hook. Boom! Chic and ready for date night!

But what's date night without a drink before you walk out the door?!  

You guys, beware this drink is strong. Tasty but strong. I love Chambord so I thought it would be such a cool drink recipe.

Simply add everything except the cherry to a martini shaker over ice minus the cherry and strain into a martini glass. 

I hope all of you have a fabulous weekend!

Revive Your Salad

Hi Friends!

I feel like with the long weekend it's hard to know what day it is. But whatever day it is, let's make it a healthy one!

One thing that has always been important to me is eating healthy. It's no secret that I love salads but on occasion, I end up sticking to the same comfortable recipes and I get sick of them. This delicious fall salad recipe was not only tasty and filling but also SO easy! Use it this season to breathe a little life into your normal salad routine.
