Style...According to RZ


"Style is sort of the best way to say who you are without having to speak." -Rachel Zoe

Rachel is famous for her gowns, her one shoulder dresses, flared jeans, accessories and her boho-Chic Style. I think its lovely that a fashion stylist, while keeping up with the trends and the ever changing fashion world has remained so true to what is timeless for her!

We all have a look that fits us, that expresses who we are without so much as a whisper from our lips. Maybe this look changes through the years as you grow to become a better version of yourself, but you might notice that hints of this style have remained classic for you. They have always expressed something about you and when you walk into a room filled with people, they can scream who you are aloud in mere seconds. That is fashion!

When in doubt...add a hat! 
She is never flaunting her body and somehow is always sexy in a subtle way that I just adore! 
Rachel is my fashion inspiration this season. I really hope you enjoy!

New School Black Tights

$15.00 on asos

These tights are my new must have, I am a little behind the trend as they have been around for a while. I have let the dust settle and they have really grown on me. Love how they can be so incredibly sexy, which I would pair with a little tomboy style with rocker chic sprinkles on top to dress them for everyday!

My Jeggings

So this is my first pair of Jeggings and I have to admit that I am definitely behind the fashion curve on this one! I always thought it was so terribly taboo to wear leggings without completely covering your hind end with a long shirt. This was until I came across my jeggings! Now I realize what all the fuss is all about. They are comfortable, they are thicker than the traditional leggings which makes it okay to show a little hip and booty. I have to admit that I still make sure that I cover my hind end with a long shirt, but this is mostly just from self consciousness alone. 
And so the moral of the story is...do not be afraid to at least try the new trends...you might find yourself pleasantly surprised! 
I have to say that next time I would not wear the grey leather jacket, but the rest of the ensemble I love!

Sunday Shenanigans

Hello Blogger's and Reader's. Let's make today an absolutely lovely Sunday! 
Live like it is your last day..... Smell the air, go for a walk, call an old friend, call a new friend, do something you have always wanted to do, or remind someone in your life that you care about them. Being a bereavement counselor reminds me every day that life is a gift and happiness is something that we have to create for ourselves, sometimes we even have to fight for it. I hope you can create some happiness and cultivate peace for yourself today!

My Sunday Shenanigans picture choices are so totally random and yet somehow each entry has a little bit of a theme that comes through in my unconscious design. Can you tell?!?! HA HA! Love the color blocking that is happening this season with like colors! Absolutely lovely!

I am just adoring the hair turban that I believe June Ambrose might have brought back to fashion in a really chic way! I have a black one I bought from BCBG about two seasons ago. It adds edge to any outfit, but you have to make sure you accentuate either your lips or your eyes in a big way to support the look! Super Fun!

Love this photo. I have a black wig at home that I borrowed from my friend Alex. Going to take some pictures with it and will post them for you to see.

Shut the front door!!! I think this is absolutely Brilliant. They are on sale for $1,137.00 (40% off), which I do not have....but if I did I might think about buying a pair of these puppies! This is TOTALLY something my inner 6 year old is loving right now, which makes them Shenani-worthy : ) What a fun winter accessory, now lets see which celeb attempts this fun and bold fashion item...

Adorable see through/sheer skirt! And it maybe its just because I wish I were in here shoes (in more ways than one because her outfit is awsome!) because I miss Paris, but she looks like she is just enjoying life!

Winter Street Style

I went to a comedy club the other night for my Boyfriends, brother- Rion's Birthday. (Happy Birthday Rion!)...And found myself wondering what to wear in the cold weather, my quick go-to decision's are no longer warm enough and pants didn't go with different boots and then a top wouldn't coordiate with any pants. I was having a hard time and thought I needed some fashion inspiration to help me shop my own closet this season. Here is some inspiration, I hope it helps you shop your closet a little more joyfully this season too!

I like her easy sense with this style. For Winter weather you just need long sleeves on the sweater and you could even pair boots with the pants if needed. Easy and chic!

Ahh, the classic trench! Will NEVER go out of style. I love th idea of wearing it in such a relaxed yet chic fashion (view left picture). And rolling up the sleeves (right picture).

Sunday Shenanigans

As the weather changes and the days get shorter we are finding ourselves reaching for those items left unloved in the back of our closets for a few months. To welcome in the new season I like to find some fashion inspiration, this can be finding those staple pieces that inspire an entirely new look, or using what you already have in a completely new way. Here for your Sunday pleasure is a little winter layering inspiration. Stay warm my readers. Thank you for becoming a follower!

When it comes to winter, especially when one lives in a bustling city, you cant go wrong with black. I love wearing black because I can spill coffee on myself and no one will be able to notice, very convenient for days when I am out and about all day and know I will not be home until late with many important things to do. Also because I am famous for being incredibly clumsy and spilling things every which-a-way! And the best part we all know about, is it is slimming and matches just about everything!

I am loving the idea of wearing a summer time dress with leggings and boots. Although I have not done the leg work to confirm that this type of ensemble would keep one warm enough in winter weather, but I will report back as we get a little further into the season. I must note this leather jacket! Express has a neutral leather jacket that I have fallen in love with and am currently saving up to purchase, it looks just like this one. I think that the important thing to note in pulling of this transitional look would be a nice warm coat and close toed boots! CRUCIAL!

I HAD to save the best for last! I am loving this look! It is so classic, in fact she almost looks like she just stepped out of a Guess clothing add with the black leather jacket and red lips! I always feel like red lips are so incredibly fancy and should be left for evening parties...I love that she is mixing red lips with everything else that seems to be easy (hair, jeans, shirt, etc.). Most inspiring to me as last season I bought this reduculously awesome red lip color from the Chanel counter and wore it all but 3 times that season. This season, I say "yay" to my Chanel! 
Okay, now I will go shopping in my own closet for all of my wonderful winter items left unnoticed for far too long! I LOVE WINTER!

Winter Grey and My Love

She gently sips hot tea in a darkly lit cafe that seems to be
as old as time itself. Her furry companion she cannot name, for one name will never be good enough...and so she calls him simply, "My Love". In the corner the fire rages, bringing to the dimly lit cafe a gentle warmth and smokey smell. It rains outside and falls loudly on the cafe's tin roof. She smirks gently looking out the window. Soon the snow will come. Winter will be here and her world will look completely different, she wonders if she will be different too. She welcomes the white season with a gentle curiosity and a readiness for the unexpected. With her love by her side in the smokey, cozy cafe all is well. And so for a moment, so is she! -Brooke
