I am writing this on Tuesday night, and I have to say, I am a day behind in my post because I thought today was Monday. Anyway… how was your Memorial Day? I went shopping with Frank and a few friends for key pieces for my summer wardrobe. I am so excited to share with you the fun items I picked out for the best time of the year.

Hi Friends,
I hope you all had a great weekend. Honestly, I am shocked I was able to get this post edited and live today. Last week was such a crazy week. I felt like I didn’t even have a chance to sit down. I am glad to start the week off fresh.
On another note, lets talk fashion. This skirt I have been waiting to wear once stockings were no longer necessary. I wanted to pair it with a simple t-shirt and a denim jacket. There is still a chill in the air here hence the light jacket. Plus, I love denim with everything 🙂
Over the years I have been drawn to color – the brighter the better. One of my favorite things to do Is mixing contrasting colors together. I get a lot of comments that they would never have thought to wear that together (I take that as a compliment!). However, in the past year or two, I have been loving more neutral colors. I find all black to be the opitaimity of chic! We can even see this throughout the years. One movie most fashionistas love, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” when she wore that amazing black dress and pearls. I do, however, consider myself a fashionista, but I actually thought that movie was boring. I watch it for the fashions.
With black, by changing the accessories, you can create so many outfits that give you so many looks. You can have a sporty look when you wear an outfit with sneakers, then with the same outfit have an evening look with jewelry and heels (flats for me tho!). I just love how versatile one color can be.
You can even transition it throughout the seasons. I love a simple black t-shirt in the spring and summer. A black turtleneck in the fall and winter has been a staple in my wardrobe forever!
Hi, my name is Jazmin and I have a problem with cross-body bags. I love them! I wear them all the time. I mean how can you not? They are just so cute. Let me tell you, in addition to being cute they are functional! It’s like a game… how much stuff can I fit into this little tiny bag without it weighing more than me? Usually, I win because I have it down to a science: small lotion, lipstick, powder, and a teeny tiny wallet with the basics.
Most of these bags are out of stock, because I try to purchase high quality bags so I can have them for years and they still look great. P.S. that coach bag is a hand me down form my mom and she had it over 10 years.

Today I am giving you all quick fitness check in. I am happy to share, I am pleased with my progress. I have been working out consistently for about three weeks, which was a big goal for me… be consistent. While preparing to go to the gym today, it hit me. Maybe you would like to see what I bring with me to the gym.
1. Work out clothes
On a normal day, I head to the gym straight from work. Which is why my gym clothes are in my bag 🙂 just in case you were wondering.
2. Headphones
I need my headphones in order to work out. I really have to emphasis this point. There have been times when I left my headphones home and would skip my workout because I wouldn’t be motivated to do much without music.
3. Micellar Water
I like to wipe off my face makeup just incase. I am crazy when it comes to keeping my skin in the best position possible. I say, better safe then sorry. Another easy option is makeup wipes.
4. Wet Wipes
People are gross, I like to have antibacterial wipes with me when things are not looking as clean as I think they should. At the gyms I go to, I have noticed they ran out of disinfectant spray. I went home that day, and put my wipes in my bag imminently.
5. Perfume
After a hard work out I still like to smell like a lady. So I spritz myself just a little to freshen up. My mom always tells me “you never know when you may run into someone.” Scentbird provides a great service, you can get a 30 day supply to try out before you make a big perfume purchase.
6. Water
We have to hydrate.
It is time for spring cleaning. Twice a year I do an overhaul on my closet. Like most of you, I am sure you have those items in your closet that you never reach for, thus taking up valuable space. For one reason or another we become attached to our clothes even though they do nothing for us in the long run. If you find yourself in a place where you just can’t get rid of things, here are some tips to give you more perspective on letting go.
