Dresses Every Women Should Have In there Closet!

1. The LBD
"Little Black Dress just walked into the room" and yes I quoted a One Direction song.  The thing about a black dress is it is impossible to look bad in one.  The dark color adds a slimming effect to your body and is the best dress for a party.

2.A Casual Pale Pastel Dress

It is great to have a pale Pastel dress if you ever have to go to an event like a wedding.  These dresses are flattering and can work with any casual event.

3.Your Date Dress

This has to be a dress that you look wonderful in.  You should be able to wear flats or heels with it.  

4.  The perfect interview Dress

For this dress I would advise something in a neutral color.  Something that you can wear in heels.  Also something that would go good with a blazer.  

5. A winter Social Event dress

The sad news is that you can not wear Lilly Pulitzer in the winter.  Fluorescent flowers just do not look that great when there is snow on the ground.  For a winter dress try to find a dress that can be easily matched with any color sweater.

6. The White Dress

A white dress is the perfect dress for a summer party.  It can be dress down with just a pair of wedges or dressed up with adding accessories like a braided belt and jewelry.  

7. Your party dress

The party dress is perfect when you are invited to a party like New years.  For this I say be brave and don't play it safe.  Try bold colors and patterns!

How to Survive Monday

1. Have a Great Weekend
You have to days free from stress and seeing people you would prefer not to see so enjoy it.  Go on a run, see friends, try out a new restaurant, just have fun!  What ever make you happy and can put a smile of your face do it!

2.  Get Ready
Prepare yourself for Monday.  Make a list and check it twice (sorry i know I'm 12 months early).  If you know there's something you have to get done, do it! If you leave it till Monday it will just stress you out.

3. Don't say out Till 5Am
The best thing to do on a Sunday night is to get a good nights rest.  If you stay out partying you will just make yourself exhausted and it will put you in a bad mood.  If you have a nice dinner relax and watch a show you will be in a better mood rather than if you stayed out all night doing god knows what.

4. Put a Positive Spin on your Day
You know that at 6 your alarm will start going off and your week will be starting over again.  If you can convince yourself your in a good mood the smile will shortly follow.  So wake up put on your favorite song and sing in the shower.  Don't wake up with a frown in leave in a bad mood.

5.  It's all about what you wear
If you walk out wearing yoga pants a sweatshirt and uggs you will feel sluggish.  Sunday night plan out an outfit and stick to it.  I always plan outfits and end up wearing something easy.  Dress to impress it will help your mood because dressing nice will help you feel better about your self and will boost your confidence.

6. EAT
The worst thing you can do is skip meals.  That is because you will end up eating your first meal at 12 with nothing in your stomach.  Eat something quick like Greek yogurt the protein will help you get through your day.

7.Start A Revolution 
If you are feeling good about yourself try to help others boost their mood on a Monday morning.  Buy your office mate a coffee and ask them how there weekend was.  It might lead to a friendship or a coffee in the future.

The biggest thing to remember is don't think of Monday as this horrible day.  Everyone has them and everyone feels the same but try to make them better.  A few changes in your daily routine will help you have a positive outlook on Mondays and help you have a more positive life.

My Essentials for a Lazy Snowy Saturday

1. A Cozy Onsie  Many of you have probably seen these.  My school even had a pajama day and many people wore these.  They are perfect for those days where the last thing you want to do is be outside.  It's a saturday and it's freezing outside there is no reason for you to wear normal clothing.  

2.Creamy Mexican Hot Chocolate- The best drink of the season I call it ( even though I will drink it throughout the year).   Theres nothing better then relaxing on a cold day with a hot cup of chocolate with a little more then the average amount of whip cream.  

Here's the recipe:

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate

4 cups milk

2 cups vanilla bean ice cream

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups water (add 1/2 cup more for a thinner cup of hot chocolate)

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

3 teaspoons pure vanilla

3. A cozy Blanket-  My favorite thing to do after a long day of school or work is snuggling up with a knit blanket.  This is the perfect blanket the use and add a little color to your room

4.  Some light entertainment-  The best thing to do on a lazy Saturday is settle down with some fun entertainment.  With plots that are pretty predictable and light comedy these movies are perfect to entertain you on a cold snowy Saturday.

Working it When Working Out

What I think to be the most popular New years resolution is getting in shape.  I think it is a great resolution but I think it is better to have the motivation to live a healthier lifestyle rather then just getting thinner.  When you start to eat better and exercise on a regular basis you will feel better and will be happier.

If you are like me you don't have the thousands of dollars to spend on designer fashion to wear to the gym, in this article I'm going to show a great outfit to wear to the gym!

I have these shoes in a navy blue/ Pink orange color and I love them.  They are so light and comfortable there my favorite thing to wear when working out.  

It makes your life a lot easier working out when you wear the right bra.  I have always bought my sports bras from Aerie

Racer backs are my favorite! I wear them not only for working out but also for my outfits because you never have to worry about stapes falling off your shoulders.  My advice for buying racer backs is buy them at tj maxx because there a lot less expensive because the Nike ones can be up to $40 and the ones I get at ti's are 5!

I got one of these for Christmas and I have to say it was one of my favorite gifts.  They are a little on the expensive side but they are so worth it .

This is the one thing I think everyone wears to much of but how couldn't you? There so comfy.  My best leggings and yoga pants from from Aerie, there inexpensive and are never see through.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great and safe New Year.
