“Let today be the start to something new.”

I have always been the one who loved back to school shopping from new clothes to new shoes, a fresh box of crayola crayons and everything in between. I may be out of school now, but back to school shopping is still something I love and participate in. I still reward myself with back to school goodies in September. So I thought I would share with y’all my favorite back to school must have essentials. Here’s to an amazing new school year !

Pink is Everywhere !

October is one of my favorite months out of the year not just because fall is in full swing, but because it is the month dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness.

Throughout the year we always here about raising awareness for breast cancer, which is great, but what I love about October is the awareness is amped up and the conversations about how we have all been affected by Breast Cancer are ever present. The events are every night, products galore and the conversation is always at the forefront. Every October I try and figure out ways to bring awareness and show my support.

This year I have decided to write about and similar to years past I always pick up products where the proceeds give back to Breast Cancer Research and also show support with their stand out pink.

Don’t be afraid to rock Pink, its the new black especially in October !

Be sure to visit, Susan G Komen Foundation, for more information on how to give back!

P.S. A great activity that helps give back is the Avon The Walk to End Breast Cancer .

Hat: Forever 21 Sunglasses: Chanel Shirt: T & J Designs Skirt: IL Teatro Pasadena

Shoes: Target Purse: Michael Kors Rings: Vintage Jade Ring and Forever 21 Bow Ring

Bracelets: Pura Vida Bracelets (all the proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research; partnered with Pura Vida to promote, continue to buy these amazing bracelets for great causes)

Music at a Festival…Brings a Flock Together

“There’s nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don’t think anyone comes to a festival going, “I’m gonna be a complete bummer today.” ~ Gary Clark, Jr.

Going to make this short and sweet because I don’t want you all to miss out on all the festival fun. Every year music festivals seem to get bigger and bigger, a lot of it is because music is universal. Music continues and will continue to bring people together.

Mixing in the fun parties and wild, spunky fashion, crazy nail and body art, you then have yourself a fabulous music festival. Whether you are off to Weekend #2 of Coachella, Stage Coach or a hidden gem I haven’t heard of, but would love, here are some twists and treats on festival fashions. Remember, festivals are your time to go all out and have fun with your fashion !
