The Fashionista Files

As many of my friends and social media followers now, I started my journey with yoga back in early April. And I have loved every single second of it. The sweat, the way it takes away aches and pains, and the way I can leave all my cares and worries behind me, right on the mat. But my journey with yoga is for another place and another time.

Most of you know, I'm not from Boston. I'm originally from Las Vegas - a VERY different city. I attended grade school, middle school and high school here. And one semester of college at UNLV. Those of you that know me on an even more personal level, know that I hated growing up there. Apart from the fact that my family and friends live there, there was absolutely nothing I loved about that city - no substance, no culture, nothing.

Most people take advantage of January 1 of every year as a time to start their new resolutions - which for many, many people, are workout or health related (notice that boost of people each January at your local gym?) I don't know about everyone else, but I get so extremely lazy in the winter! Think about it, starting from October (Halloween candy) to November (Thanksgiving) to December (Christmas)... and on top of all that, who REALLY wants to go running in New England winter weather? Not me! So spring is my time to "rebirth." It's also extremely inpsiring to see all the physically fit people out and about in Spring. Obviously, this isn't a fitness blog and I am definitely NOT a fitness guru, but I do my best to be healthy and stay in the best shape I can. BUT, one of the biggest motivations I have to workout is fashionable workout gear. And, my luck, a couple weeks ago, I was introduced to Ellie. And now, I want to give all of you a chance to meet Ellie as well!

It's still the middle of winter, and we're already looking at the fall fashion for the end of the year? Silly silly fashion industry.. But that's just how it is. Now, it's probably become very apparent that Rag & Bone is one of my favorite designers. I think that it's the perfect balance of a girly-girl with a little rock & roll. For those of you that aren't too familiar with Rag & Bone, a quick little background:

Let's get straight to the point: I love anything military inspired and nautical. And military and nautical inspired always seems to sneak its way back into fashion and style every year, some way, some how. But there's definitely things that I try to stay away from for fear of looking way too military - I mean, we love these "inspired" looks but, unless we're one of those amazing men & women fighting for our freedom (or Destiny's Child in those survivor days...) we don't want to look like we're at the front lines. And one of those things that I try to keep my distance with is camo print. But when I saw these Rag & Bone's.. well, you can just see for yourself after the jump :) 

Happy 2013 everyone! Hope everyone had a fantastic new year's celebration! Today's the first post of the year and I wanted to bring someone special onto my blog for a little interview. I've seen him grow over the years but especially in the fashion department. I love the eclectic vintage vibe to all his outfits that I could never pull off! All of you know that I have a love menswear- in all aspects. Seeing someone that can take pull off fashion styles from different decades and not just the current trends but still make them look current is awesome and definitely something I admire. Interview and more photos after the jump!

Many of you know, or at least recognize, Balenciaga handbags. You've probably seen your favorite celebrities from Lauren Conrad to the Kardashian girls in a Balenciaga bag.

I focus on men's fashion quite often because I feel that women are much more comfortable stepping out of their comfort zone, whereas men.. well, not-so-much. How many of you ladies have tried to get your boyfriend to get into slimmer fitting jeans? I don't mean leggings or super slim, but just a slim straight, something that actually fits. Today's OOTD features someone that's willing to take a little risk with their outfits.

I've been looking forward to this show all month! And it definitely didn't disappoint. So thankful for the front row seating and the awesome view right at the end of the runway. And I'm so happy I'm able to share this with you all! Warning: this post is image heavy!

As all my followers know, I'm a big fan of supporting local artists (hope I'll see many of you at Mark Cordell's show on Sunday!) And I'm sure you all have noticed I LOVE my accessories; be it jewelry, scarves, headbands.. as long as I can work it into my outfit, I'll do it! The Third Piece acquired their business license yesterday and I can't be more happy for them! I also had the opportunity to try on their pieces and take a few pictures in them!
