Hey guys!

My man is visiting me here in new york for 2 weeks, so lately I have been doing a lot of sight seeing even though I hate it. I also took him shopping, so he has managed to get a full wardrobe make over. Thankfully! I was so sick of seeing quicksilver hoodies on him from his younger days.

Ps- check out that marshmallow and Nutella strawberry sandwich. Effing amazing!!

My newest obsession: High Top Sneakers

Hi dolls! I haven't made a post in awhile, but it's been a crazy summer. With little time for shopping (I know, I am committing Fashion crimes). But I did get a little R&R time while I was in France, and I fell in love with these sneakers which is going to be the ultimate trend this Fall/Winter!

Even though the price is a little bit out of my reach, and I had to put them on TWO different cards. I do not regret this purchase one bit!!! When you live in a small town like I do, it seems like there is absolutley no originality. Everyone buys at Zara and H&M, and there goes any hope for unique pieces.

Which is why I suggest to all of my readers/fans/women in general, to BUY outside the box!!!! With the upmost respect to Zara (which has the best collection at the moment), Ladies... c'mon! Do some more traveling, discover boutiques, visit vintage stores, and buy more online! Fashion isn't immitation. You should be proud to own a piece that no one has. Something unique, that everyone stops in their tracks to check you out.

Sometimes I think it's worth spending more money on a item that will last you forever, then spending that amount on 5 items that basically everyone has. Buy a leather bag from a good brand. Save up your money! You will thank me later! Quality most definitely beats quantity.


Anyways, I'd like to present you with my most prized possesion at the moment. My ASH high top sneakers. You can buy from other brands, like Isabel Marant or Marc by Marc Jacobs, but these are definitely the most affordable line. Check them out below!

Day to night outfit

Sorry that I have not posted much these few weeks. Since I got back from Boom festival I have had a serious case of clinical laziness. However I am back in the flow of reality (sucks).

Anyways, my birthday was a few days ago so I received some money for a shopping spree. Below is some of the items I got. My favorite is this new bag from nasty gal and leather skirt from h&m. Both can transition easily from day wear to evening wear by adding darker colors. I am surprised at how this skirt goes well with any color or print! Possibly lime green or red sweater in the future?

Black bodysuit- miss Selfridges
Skirt-h&m
Belt- asos
Boots- asos
Bag- nastygal

Evening wear

Top- unif
Skirt- motel
Belt- asos
Shoes- nine west

This skirt by motel is fantastic for any occasion was it could work for day wear, or evening wear. This print amazes me as it is a mirror print of dolphins in the sunset, so beautiful! As for this top, it is a classic top by unif that i have been wanting to buy for such a long time. This outfit is put all together by my new studded asos belt and nine west shoes- edgy.

Black strap heels

Heels- nine west
Skirt- forever21
Tops- urban outfitters

I just recently got these black strap heels on sale. I love how the heel itself is chunky. This new shoe has a kind of minimalistic vibe to it which makes this edgy outfit have a sophisticated feel to it along with this pencil skirt.

I also included yet another moon graphic shirt, which comes from part of the collection of shirts that I have which this type of graphic.

Full moon world tour

This top is incredibly sick, for events such as music festivals this summer, beach days or barbeques. The graphics are incredible, and it is yet to add to my collection of moon graphic tees. Yes, I have a thing for moon prints and eyes. I am not too sure why but I find them extremely beautiful. When it comes to this muscle tee from forever21 however, the mixture of all the colors is so eye catching along with my Levi cut off shorts, urban outfitters bag, wallet and necklace.

Just because it's FRIDAY!

Hello all!

Finally it's Friday and it's party time! It's been great weather lately and all I want to do is buy bikinis and get into shape to be able to wear these bikinis! Haha

I've literally been working out 3 days a week, and doing abs every day. I swear it really works! Another month and I think I will have the stomach I need/want for summer! The trick is persistance and motivation. Set a goal and stick to it! Not only is working out is a stress reliever but you will see results within a month if you train 3-5 days a week and eat right! I admit, I have my cheat days, like on Sunday where I just want veg on the couch and eat Mc Donalds. But the rest of the week I will eat loads of salads and snack on low carb rice crackers and almonds.

If you go onto my pinterest @ gsiracuse, you can find loads of diet recipes and exercise regimens. And even on our Facebook page too!

Good luck! Remember, whats the point is buying nice clothes when your too scared to wear that tight dress because your embarassed of your thighs? Fashion is also about feeling good with yourself!

Love,

I bought this bikini at Pull & Bear recently. It's a neon yellow (which I am obssessed with right now) and it's perfect for the summer festivals coming up! 

 I made these cut off shorts myself. I bought the levis on Ebay, and I put the studs on them. And used a X-acto knife to give it a used look. Check out this tutorial on how to take advantage of your old jeans! http://www.laurenconrad.com/post/diy-cut-off-shorts

My week in Instagram

Hi everyone!
Sorry if I haven't posted anything in awhile. It's been a very hectic few months for me. I decided to move into a much bigger and better apartment. And throughout this whole process, I was in my last semester with exams and final projects.  And not to mention I was working a lot! Thank god I passed with flying colors!

Now things have slowed down a little, I've had time to decorate the new house, try out some new recipes for the hubby and I, cut my hair, and buy some cute accessories for summer!

Yesterday was a very sad day for my family. Someone very close to us passed away. And I'd just like to say that even though life is a every day struggle, victory comes to those who suffer. I know that this very special person has found her peace, and I will always carry her in my heart. I love you...

Anyways... check out my week in Instagram! Follow me @ gsiracuse. And if you like Pinterest as well, you can follow me @ gsiracuse too!
