Growing up in the 90’s, I can distinctly remember admiring the fashion sense of the fashionable women within my sphere of influence: my mom, TLC, Aaliyah, etc. And to be honest, I think the sentiment of that nostalgia is carried over to my personal style when it comes to urban looks. Believe it I’ve had this sweater for an unbelievable amount of time, 5th grade maybe? The harem pants were simply a great find years ago and the boots are a classic story of falling in love with a shoe. I initially passed on them because they were out of my price range only to come across a picture of them in my phone moths later and call DSW. Not only did they still have them but they were on SALE!!! I got these bad boys for a deduction of 70’s off the original price! God is real haha

Thursday’s are my busiest day out of the week per default. Let’s see how I manage pulling together a look comfortable enough for social media work at the salon, cute enough for dinner and clean cut enough for a political fundraiser…

Have a great day! Peace, Love & Sunshine -Chelsea

I have a love hate relationships with trends. The trick is that a lot of times trendy pieces can actually be pretty cool…the downside is that there’s an inherited understanding at the time of purchase that you will be one of hundreds of girls sporting said look throughout your city.

I made an exception for the avoidance in the case of my “Beetlejuice/Referee” pants lol They fit like a glove and work as an accent to a number of monochromatic looks. Is there a trend that you just couldn’t help but dive into? If so, share your guilty pleasure, I’d love to know I’m not alone haha Have a great day!

Have a great day! Peace, Love & Sunshine -Chelsea

Valentine

IMG_8421 IMG_8422 IMG_8423 IMG_8426 IMG_8427

It looks like Valentine’s Day came a little earlier than expected! I am absolutely smitten with my new all purpose boots –they bring out my inner ninja haha Anyway, an all purpose shoe for me is the pair I grab anytime I have to make moves in a hurry and dash out the door. Them being black makes them easy to coordinate, and the patent leather finish is perfect for all the rainy weather we’ve been getting lately. My most recent pair were leopard print slippers from Target, and the pair before them were my sneaker wedges by Steve Madden.

Anyone close to me can account for how much I love a good deal! We started off the afternoon on a search for a steamer at Bed Bath & Beyond –they were marked a lot higher than I was looking to pay, so we ran over to Ross to see if they had any… Not only did a find the perfect steamer for 20 bucks (happy dance, whoo!), I also came across these bad boys by Chinese Laundry. To say the least it was a good day. I’ve already admitted to myself that I will most likely be the girl in the boots, and I proudly embrace that title haha Have an awesome week!

Peace, Love & Sunshine -Chelsea

What I’m Wearing– Earrings: Forever 21, Eagle Ring: Forever 21, Chain Ring: Handmade, Pants: Nordstrom Rack, Booties: Lucky Brand, Chain Bracelet: Vintage, Chain Necklace: Method Boutique

No lie, this is one of my favorite looks in a long time. I had about 8 minutes to get dressed and head out the door. It’s fall, and it was fun to dip back into the feel of being a student on campus again. Isn’t it funny how it seems that the less an outfit is planned the better it turns out? Have an awesome weekend!

Peace, Love & Sunshine -Chelsea
