Everyday Style and Goal Setting: #OOTD OR #WIW

Recently, I have shared several Instagram photos wearing a blanket scarf and coordinating accessories.  Primarily because it’s very cold and blanket scarfs are a quick option to add a touch of chic to any outfit.

They’re inexpensive and layer over sweaters, button-down shirts, and cute dresses.  I’ve also struggled with keeping my head warm and will quickly grab a leather hat.

Aside from the brisk weather we are embarking upon the New Year.  This is the perfect time to re-evaluate goals, aspirations, and relationships whether it’s family or friends.

I have started to map out the direction of my personal and professional objectives. A few of my goals are volunteering and implementing new elements to my business.

I like to take goal setting a step forward by purchasing organizational tools that will keep me on track.  What are your goals for the upcoming year?  How do you re-evaluate and make changes?

Soft Surroundings Hug-Me Cardi and Wine Bottle Stoles Review: Holiday Must-Haves

Being cozy is a fashion staple during this time of the year.  Yes, it’s glamorous to wear backless sweaters and knee boots but being warm is more important.

Soft Surroundings is the perfect shopping destination for luxury and comfort.  The name alone speaks volumes and has something for everyone on your holiday list!

At home, I am known for being chilly and wearing a full robe.  In the midst of putting up my Christmas tree and running errands, I opted for my Hug-Me Cardi.  Let’s start by saying my life revolves around this fur jacket.

I watch movies in this jacket.  I go to the grocery store in this jacket.  I bake holiday treats in this jacket.  I have a glass of merlot in this jacket.

Aside from the Hug-Me Cardi being ultra soft, it has very easy, readable care instructions. Simply machine wash on cold and tumble dry.  It’s not like most fur jackets that loose shape and form.

To find and purchase the Hug-Me Cardi or Wine Bottle Stoles, visit your local Soft Surroundings or shop online.

For the everyday girl, spending over a thousand dollars for a pair of boots can be out of reach.  Luckily, retailers have re-created this accessory for an affordable price.

Everyday Style and Lookbook Inspiration: #OOTD or #WIW

Recently, I have shared some of my personal looks on social media or as it’s said on Instagram #OOTD (outfit of the day) or #WIW (what I’m wearing) because I want to provide inspiration in terms of everyday style.

It’s always fun to play dress-up but what about the day-to-day hustle of getting dressed?  As women, we wear so many hats and it’s often difficult to find something that’s appropriate to wear.  My job on this blog (and through consulting) is to provide style solutions and I’m going to do just that!

You can also shop my looks via Amazon or additional retail affiliate programs.  I decided to set up those links because I receive inbox messages asking where did I find certain clothing items.  I may not share the exact piece but you will find something similar if it’s available.

So here we go on this new journey!  Send me a message at kim@stylelifefashion.com or let me know if you need style advice.

Do I have the perfect shape?  No, I’m actually very short.  Do I have an hourglass figure?  No, I’m actually pear-shaped.  Do I wear a size 0?  No, I’m actually petite and curvy at the same time.  We have more in common than you think but the difference is that I dress according to my body-type!

H&M Holiday Vibes with Nicki Minaj: A Magical Holiday Video

Featured Photo and Images from HM.com

 

Nicki Minaj did an interview with H&M to get everyone excited about the holiday season. According to the site, “We love the holidays, and we love Nicki Minaj. The queen of rap needs no introduction, so instead of asking a bunch of questions about her record-breaking career, awesome rapping and singing skills and big personality, we invited her to play a game of This or That – holiday edition. Why? Because who doesn’t want to know who out of Santa, Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman she’d like to date, marry or make disappear forever?”
