Let Me See You Move It Shake Cross The Dance Floor

My outfits generally channel a vibe of some kind, and I am totally smitten over this fall’s hat selection. This look’s inspiration is Indiana Jones. My new hat reminded both me and my younger brother/photographer of him, and years of watching his movies with our Dad over the holidays.

Inspiration feeds into selecting what to wear, but f nothing else, I know how I want to feel once a look is put together. It may be something I’ll chuckle at when looking back in 5 years, but it’s all worth it to feel amazing in that moment. I’ve always joked that I was born in the wrong decade and the 70’s are definitely my favorite when it comes to fashion. My song of the day is Cross the Dance Floor by Treasure Fingers in the spirit of all things boogie. Have a great day!

Save The Future

Sometimes the weight of the world seems to weigh a little heavy for my comfort. For whatever reason, the best way for me to shake it is by putting on a fun outfit and a great playlist. This look is a reflection of this. Check out one of my jams below.

This is one of my favorite sweatshirts in time. Short of it getting physically destroyed, I plan on hanging on to it forever. Hopefully it’s message plants the seed for those who view it to give back, get involved and make a difference.

Looking for an organization to get involved with? Check out my nonprofit Mia’s Closet. We’d love to share our story with you!

9.20.2013

In a city as hot as Houston, there’s a special appreciation for rainy days –especially when it provides us a break from the heat. We’d had around three straight days of showers, so I jumped at the opportunity to put together this layered look! The pieces are a combination of new and old, and feature two of my old faithfuls: the cardigan and leopard print slippers. Friday was a busy day running errands in preparation for our very first Sunday Dinner with TheCoffeyBreak.com benefitting Mia’s Closet. The evening was just s jam packed as the day, so I knew I needed to prepare an outfit that would transition well. The great thing about these pants is that they are easy to dress up without overpowering a more casual daytime look. Hope this inspired someone!

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

Torn

Sweet sweet summertime. September is my favorite month for a number of reasons, but the thing I love most about this month is the crossover between summer and fall. I’ll be sad to see summer go, but I’m really looking forward to having fun with all the layered looks fall has to offer.

This is going to be a busy weekend for us. We will be hosting our very first Sunday Dinner for TheCoffeyBreak.com benefitting Mia’s Closet. Be sure to check back next week for highlights from the evening!

Have a great weekend!

Throwback Thursday

Yesterday was crazy busy, so I needed a look that would transition well from day to night. A lightweight black blazer and heel always seem to do the trick for me.

These shoes epitomize my dreams of one day being old enough to wear pieces from my mom’s closet. I liked them so much she just gave them to me when I was old enough. I’ll be hanging on to these forever ❤

There’s a constant conversation about the rate that technology is advancing. Between amazingly sophisticated cameras and even more incredible editing programs, there seems to be an unbelievably beautiful crop of images to benchmark against. I recently got a DSLR, and I cherish it dearly; however, I couldn’t help but be charmed by our attempts to catch these Look of the Day shots with our iPhones late last night. There’s a certain nostalgia for me any time I see a grainy photo. It’s like a quick throwback to 1999; long before I had access to the frills of filters and other image enhancers. Ya, the lighting was bad, our phones were dying, the flash was giving out… it was a mess haha Nonetheless though, my sweet boyfriend had a great attitude and was able to catch a few shots worth sharing. Excuses are for jokers, right? The weekend’s almost here. Hang in there! Peace, Love & Sunshine -Chelsea
