My Christmas Gift To You...

I hope everyone has had a wonderful beginning to the Holiday season! I sure have! My Thanksgiving look came out just the way I had hoped and I was even able to help others with their looks as well. 

Outfit Deets: Chambray Shirt (Target.. Less than $10!). Lock and Key Necklace (Victoria's Secret). Box Pleat Skirt (Boohoo.com. $16). Gold Cap Toe Pumps (Bakers. $25). Earrings (Versona. $4). Watch (Tradwr's Village. $5). Fedora (My sister's closet. Free. LOL) 


My stepdad decided to interrupt my photoshoot... 

We've gotten through Thanksgiving and Black Friday so now everyone is running around, crowding retail stores and streets/interstates trying to get their Christmas gift shopping completed. I started months ago so I'm down to my last couple of gifts and I get to focus on other things...like, what I'm going to wear on Christmas day.

I was inspired by the iconic Gwen Stefani for my Christmas look this year. I found my inspiration a couple months ago so I already have all the pieces necessary to make my dreams, umm I mean, outfit a reality. I even put together my 9 year old goddaughter's Christmas look as well. Shes just as excited as I am. Just wait for the fierceness!

I know finding inspiration for looks can be exhausting and overwhelming for some. Believe me, its one of the reasons I start looking so far in advance for many of my looks. If you're anything like my sister Kelly then you definitely arent interested in searching for (or even shopping for) looks. Well, never fear! I am here to help! Consider it my Christmas gift to you!

I have put together several looks that can be used for inspiration for your Christmas ensemble. Much like the looks I shared for Thanksgiving, these vary from casual to more formal attire. 

So turn on some Christmas music, pour yourself some eggnog and get inspired! 




Even though the focus of this post is fashion, dont forget the most important thing about this holiday season: spreading love and cheer. Be a gift to others and ensure that everyone around you is having a very Happy Holiday season. 

Love, 
Coco

Its Spring!...Kinda.

Depending on where you are in the country and what day of the week it is, Winter is making its exit and Spring is sashaying in. Gone are the days of covering up as much skin as possible to avoid the savage chill of winter's wrath. Now, we can bask in the warmth of the sun and the cool breezes of Springtime. According to my calendar, Spring "officially" started about a week ago. If you are lucky enough to live in a place that has seen a rise in temperatures and the return of the sun, this post is for you! If your area's temperatures havent quite gotten that "Its Spring!" memo yet, I'm sorry. Maybe you can think happy, warm thoughts and use this post as inspriation as you daydream about the warm weather ensembles you will debut when the temperature catches up to the calendar.  I, for one, am very excited about Spring. I love any weather that allows me to either particiapte in #SundressSeason or wear my go-to jeans and a cute tank and sandals. I really love...

Starting With The Woman In The Mirror

        Ive “let myself go” recently... havent pampered myself or put much effort into my outward appearance for awhile because I was uncomfortable with my “new body”. I didnt know how to be Courtney anymore because I didnt feel like Courtney anymore. The girl that had hundreds of clothing items has had her closet reduced to a few things that “fit” and a few others she cant bring herself to part with (the local Goodwill dropoff bay has seen me often this year).  Im tired of looking in the mirror and not feeling my best. Im tired of just being “okay” with the way I look.  Im done being insecure, unsure of myself & weighed down (no pun intended) by the extra pounds. I have to love myself no matter what size I wear. No matter what the scale says.  Changes are happening. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. Im changing. Im caring again. Im going to love myself again. Inside and out. Get ready for a comeback! ...
