Airport Traveling: Cute and Comfy

Ladies, I truly believe you should look your best while traveling because you never know who you are you going to run past. Literally. I feel like cute and comfy definitely works especially if you are in for a long flight. I wanted to go over my travel essentials:

This is in no particular order:

Glasses: yes, reading glasses. I feel like my contacts and the air pressure don't mesh well (personal opinion), contacts, contact case and contact solution. 

Sunnies: some people use eyemasks I use my sunnies..

Evian water: yup! In the little spritz bottle. I got this from Auntie June Ambrose! The pressure can dry you out. You don't want to arrive are your destination looking pale.

Lip Balm: preferably EOS. Chapped lips are NOT cute. 

Facial Cream: I am obsessed with Philosophy facial cream.

Lotion: I love the hand lotion from Bath and Body Works

Book, Magazine and/or iPad: most of the time I have both. I love to go back and forth. 

Turban: yes, you read that correctly! A turban! I wrap my hair up and throw it in a comfy turban. It guarantees that my hair will stay in place and it looks oh so fashionable! 

Snacks: Since I have been on a healthy journey instead of my usual Sour Patch Kids I would trade that in for Fiber One bars and granola :-) . GUMMMMM (I thought I would stress that) 

Hair: a brush and comb (for obvious reasons)

Teeth: a toothbrush, floss and a small tube of toothpaste

I usually throw all of the above in to my Louis Vuitton Neverfull but I noticed last night it really hurt my solider so I would go for a pilot bag (my favorite) or a chic book bag!

Dope Girl of the Day: Blair Eadie

I am not sure how I stumbled upon Blair's blog in 2012 but I have been hooked ever since! 

This woman is dope beyond words. She nails every single outfit and has the greatest pictures. I find myself screenshotting her whole IG and Blog pages. To me, Blair is the definition of classic. Her makeup, hair and nails are always perfectly done and compliment her outfit. She wears her clothes her clothes don't wear her (you guys know how I feel about that!)

Below are some of her looks that I absolutely adore!

See I Told You: Dior "So Real"

Remember when I blogged about the Dior "So Real" sunglasses? Well now I keep seeing them everywhere!!!! I have spotted a couple of celebrities on them! 

If I could only justify spending that much on another pair of sunnies (or I can get blessed with a MAJOOORRRRR discount)! I haven't gagged over a pair of Sunnies like this since the Tom Ford "Alana" during the summer!!

Item of the Day: Danielle Guizio "Important Sh*t" Duffle Bag

Since I have been trying to change my lifestyle I have constantly been looking for things to jazz up my workout gear and I think I found the dopest gym bag! 

By the way I need two gym bags. I always leave one a properly packed gym bag in the trunk just in case I want to get a quick workout in (this is a good tip for you so you can't ever say you are not prepared).

Anywho! I found the dope duffle bag on Nasty Gal for $50! I can't get over how cute it is! And I'm sure you will stand out in the gym with this baby.

Sunday Inspiration: Kim Kardashian

I saw these pictures and gagged. These are looks are all me! Down to the well manicured nails and Sunnies. Kim SLAYED these looks. Simple chic and clean! These pictures was taking over 4 years ago and everything she has on are still in style that means her stylist KILLLED THESE LOOKS! 

Accessories definitely change the look of an outfit. If you don't feel like doing a full face put on an amazing fedora and sunnies and you are good to go! 

FYI - you can find amazing fedoras at your local flea markets!!

Being Snatched: The Process Has Started

I promised you guys a couple of weeks ago that I would take you through my "Getting Snatched" journey. I was mentally delaying this! 

I finally started with a trainer who I feel is more so a life coach. We spoke about my goals and what I am looking to achieve. She then studied what I ate for about a week, looked for any imbalances and weaknesses. She told me what to remove from my diet, what to add and what I needed more of. 

Of course, even though she is certified, I swore she didn't know what she was talking about when she said I needed to eat more! I thought I want to lose not gain. Well I did what I wanted to do and not what she instructed and the first time I got in the gym with her I swear I saw Big Baby Jesus. He was coming to give me CPR ! I was lightheaded, fatigued and had a massive headache. I should have listened (note to self)! After that I made sure I had a balanced breakfast, lunch, dinner and 3 snacks. It's so important to fuel your body but especially important when you are in the gym. It has only been a week. I will give you all weekly updates and let you know my progress.  

Right now I am exhausted and my body hurts but that comes with not being in shape. 

I sincerely believe that fashion and style starts from with in. You need to be healthy in order to feel and look good.
