Oversized Coats

By Amra B. 


For some time now, I have been obsessed with oversized coats. They are chic, elegant, and amazingly comfortable. Also, their ability to hide the rest of your outfit on those days you don’t feel like dressing up is simply GENIUS! I like oversized coats in almost any color, but my favorites for this season would have to be camel, black, blue and pastel pink. Below are some tips on how to wear your oversized coat:

  • Combine them with slim pants/jeans: A great way to balance out the “roominess” of your oversized coat is to add a pair of slim pants/jeans. Wearing a loose pant, dress, or a skirt with an oversized coat might make you look bulky.

  • Add heels: Balance out the “casual” feel of an oversized coat by adding a pair of killer heels. I love wearing strappy sandal, a peep-toe bootie, or a great pump with my oversized coat.

  • Accessorize: add a fun hat or a scarf to an oversized coat. Oversized coats tend to be basic, but can be made exceptionally fun and dressy with just the right touch of wonderful accessories.

  • Wear them open: I love the way an oversized coat falls when it is worn open. I also love wearing a thick sweater underneath and a scarf to keep warm when leaving the coat unbuttoned.

Wishing you an amazing day!

Girl On The Go: What To Bring In Your Handbag

Image
By Catherine Santino If you’re anything like me, your daily routine involves a lot of travelling. Your day starts early, ends late, and you are often rushing around in between. However, I have found that by bringing along a few essential items, you can be well-equipped for whatever you may need throughout the day without overloading your handbag. Let me give you a list of MUST HAVE items in your handbag... 1) Reusable water bottle:  It is so important to stay hydrated throughout the day, especially if you’ll be running around. Keep one of these in your bag at all times and fill it up throughout the day. Your skin will thank you too! 2) Cell phone charger:  If you’re going to be away from home for long periods of time, it’s a good idea to throw your charger in your bag. Aside from the fact that you’re obviously going to want to be checking Facebook all day, it’s important to always have at least a little bit of battery life in your phone in case of emergencies. 3) ...

Why Writing is Therapeutic

Image
By Elma B. Over the years, I have used my notepad as my most trusted confidant for whom nothing is beyond her level of comprehension and no thought is too private to share. Bare with me--have you ever had an experience upon which you would like to reflect, perhaps in detail, in order to learn? At that particular point in time, there was no one you could share this experience with--perhaps it was a tumultuous day at work, a relationship gone awry or simply a moment on a beautiful spring day you wanted to savor.   Almost all of us have a jumble of thoughts that interrupt each other inside of our head as we process our everyday experiences. One sort of therapy is meditation, which helps stop the banter and provides the kind of withdrawal that fosters peace within us. Another sort of therapy, which serves as a catharsis to the chaotic thoughts racing through our mind, is writing.  I prefer writing, if I had to choose between the two, because...

How to Spice-up Your Coffee!

Image
By Avery Carruthers Hello fashionistas! Long time no see!  As we all know, my love for coffee runs deep, as if caffeine literally flows through my veins. I enjoy a good cup of coffee anytime of the day, seven days a week. Personally, I prefer a smooth blonde roast with a few pumps of vanilla, but that's just me. Since having worked at Starbucks for over two years, I guess you can say I know a lot about coffee. From the roast type to their unique characteristics, I am (almost) able to answer any question you may have. So how does one spice up their coffee? Luckily for you, I am here to give you 4 tips on making your coffee that much more delicious and save the day (or at least try to)... 1.) Cream- I am such a fan of good creamers. Due to the fact that I have the biggest sweet tooth, I always tend to go for the “pumpkin spice” and the “cookies n cream” flavors. However, a simple half and half would also suffice. 2.) Toppings- What exactly do I mean when I say “sprinkles?” It’s s...
