Happy New Year, y’all!

I can’t believe it’s already 2019 … it feels yesterday was 2009, which was ten years ago and I was still in middle school! I can’t even believe that were already in the third day of this year. Time seriously flies by!

I’m not gonna lie, I’m always nervous at the beginning of every New Year. While I’m excited about the opportunities and experiences to come, the unknown of a new year usually makes me feel a bit uneasy. I tend to overthink about the future way more than I should. I think too much about how I’m going to graduate in time, what’s going to happen to my family and friends, my future love life, my future career, accomplishing my dreams, etc. I think you get the point of what I’m saying. The future is scary!

Despite my worries; however, I’m going to work on not getting all caught up in what hasn’t happened yet. I’m going to let go of comparison, fear, self-doubt, insecurities and negative thoughts and instead put my focus on the present moment. It’s much better to have good memories to look back on rather than to worry about what’s going to happen next and not live in the present. God gives us all one life, and I want to live mine to the fullest. And I encourage you to do the same. After all, the new year is only a slight change in the calendar. There’s plenty of time to live in the moment and create new memories to forever cherish!

As far as my style goes, it ain’t changing any time soon. The picture above was actually taken before Christmas. I came down with a 24-hour flu on New Years Eve and New Years Day, so I wasn’t feeling good enough to post a cute NYE outfit. I’m just thankful that I wasn’t sick a week before! But honestly, I would still wear this outfit on NYE instead of a sparkly dress if I felt like it. It’s still chic and spunky. That’s what New Years is all about! I feel like these JustFab shoes are especially perfect to ring in the new year. I got these shoes when I collaborated with them in December for their boot season campaign. They’re so glam, and they go with every outfit. I walked into 2019 at the perfect time! Just like in the picture above … get it?

What are your goals for this year? Are you going to work on staying in the present moment like me or do you have other specific ideas in mind? Leave a comment down below and let me know!

Hey, y’all! We’re finally one short day away from the weekend. I hope everyone’s week has been just fab so far! Speaking of “just fab”, I’m currently collaborating with Just Fab for their end of the year boot season campaign! When they reached out to me about the partnership, I was so PUMPED! … See what I did there?

I absolutely love Just Fab. They have the cutest selection of shoes to choose from, especially boots. I was overwhelmed they asked me to pick two pairs of shoes to choose for the sponsorship. There are too many stylish shoes to choose from, even picking two was really hard! But I took my time and picked the two cutest pairs that fit my style: the silver velvet Rosanna booties (which I’m wearing in the pictures in this post) and the black Perenna heeled sandals (which you can expect to see in a future post coming soon!)

I am absolutely in love with these velvet silver booties, and I’ve gotten so many compliments on them already. They’re sexy, they’re fun, they’re chic, and they make me feel like a rockstar. I feel as if these are the modernized shoes that Cinderella would wear to a party!

Now that I’ve given you all the info about these shoes, I’ll tell you about the rest of this outfit. I ordered my teddy bear coat is from Amazon, and it was only $30 ($45 if you pay for the early shipping fee). I LOVE this coat. It’s so cozy and cuddly, I feel like I’m being hugged by a literal giant teddy bear whenever I wear it! It’s also super chic and goes with almost every outfit. It’s perfect for winter and slowly transitioning into spring shortly after. I highly recommend it. It’s a huge fashion trend right now!

I also have on my favorite red turtleneck tank top from Francesca’s, my black ripped jeggings from American Eagle, and my gold layered necklace from Altar’d State. All simple to help put focus on the shoes, but still super chic and glam!

Be sure you guess check out Just Fab and all the collections of styles they have to offer! Their boot season is a hit and you don’t want to miss out on it. You should definitely consider joining their VIP program to receive amazing perks, including 75% off your first purchase!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Also just a friendly little reminder, in case you haven’t realized … Christmas is in 5 DAYS!!! Woo-hoo! Don’t mind the inner elf within me, but be sure to spread the joy of the season in the next few days! Maybe if you write Santa a last minute letter, you’ll find a new pair of shoes underneath your tree! Perhaps specifically Just Fab shoes … you’ll just have to wait and see!

Those last two lines may or may not be intentionally rhymed for the sake of Christmas … but who cares? Keep spreading the love and magic of the season throughout the air! See, I just did it again. Someone stop me, I could keep doing this all day long!
