“I have many problems in my life. But my lips don’t know that. They always smile.” - Charlie Chaplin

I’m one of those people if I don’t smile, I have this god-awful resting bitch face. So I do my best to smile all the time! The best feeling is when someone smiles at you back. A simple smile can lift anyone’s mood and it’s infectious, so spread it around.

Another reason to smile (beside hanging by the lovely Charlie Chaplin ‘Smile’ Wall in Venice) is when I get to wear something so pretty such at this 2 piece set by ASTR. I love the flouncy aspect of this outfit. I don’t typically like wearing crop tops because I don’t want to focus on sucking my gut in all day LOL. A girl’s gotta eat! This crop tank has the perfect amount of coverage. And again, it’s floral and flirty. What's not to love?!!

A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear....so wear it well. :) xx jt

Mad for Plaid

I simply went mad for this particular plaid coat. The colors are so pretty! It was a nice addition to my closet full of solid colored coats since I typically avoid patterns. I tend to lean toward neutrals to get more wearability out of the pieces. But in this case, the coat was very pretty and feminine...and I simply couldn’t resist.

So this photoshoot was an oldie but goodie from fall of last year. I know!!! Don’t ask. Why the heck did I wait until now to post? Well I suck at this and just never got around to it. I’m sincerely sorry! Unfortunately most of the items are now no longer available and I’ve been trying to search for anything comparable. I give mad props to the full-time fashion bloggers out there who post on a daily basis. How do they do it?? This is a lot of work and I’m just trying to post one. Ha. Please be patient! :) xx jt

Beyond the Horizon

Happy Lunar New Year! It is the Year of the Sheep. If this is your year, I’ve got baaaaaaah-d news for you. Just kidding!:) I was told growing up that if it’s your year, it’s when big things happen. So if something bad happens it will be bad in a big way and if something good happens, it will be good in a big way. So basically you should really wear the color red in your daily wardrobe and hope for the best. Red thongs anyone? lol.

All kidding aside, your future is what you make of it. Send positive energy out into the world and whatever the outcome may be, even if negative, you can change it for the better. If you keep sending out negative vibes, that is what you will get in return. It’s the law of attraction. You attract what you give out. So no negativity! Stay positive.

Something beautiful is on the horizon. Keep on going! xx jt

Falling for Florals

It’s Valentine’s Day and the only thing I’m really in love with right now are flowers. Unfortunately like love, flowers can be just as fleeting. For that one moment in time, love is beautiful, like a flower blooming its most radiant petals. Kind of correlates to the prettiest point in a relationship, and somehow it just fades. They just wither away and die, like love. (do I sound bitter or what? LOL I’m not) So what to do? Here’s my solution. You just wear it. Tis the season for beautiful floral prints...and I’m crazy in love for them.

Floral prints are definitely worth falling in love for and it’s all in the details. It’s feminine, cute and romantic. Oh come on, you can’t help but feel playful and flirty wearing them. Just like these two pieces from Alice + Olivia and Topshop. I love mixing up the floral prints and colors. It doesn’t have to exactly match but yet it just somehow works. I’m so in love:)


What are you crazy in love for? xx jt
