The Capsule Wardrobe is back, and better! I have loved updating the wardrobe with the different seasons and slowly adding essential pieces. My current wardrobe is mainly Winter with some Spring pieces I’ve snuck in. I am excited to transition this rack to Spring soon.

Having this rack in my room not only saves me time while I’m heading out, it also lets me be more creative with my outfits. I usually take one day to plan out my outfits for the folowing week. This way I have more time at that moment to try different pieces out and it ends ups giving me outfits I would have never put together if I was in a rush. I also lay out one item and see how many outfits I can make from that one piece.

I thought I’d share my favorite essesntial pieces at the moment. I have found that these items have gotten me through the Fall and Winter Seasons:

Outerwear:
(Faux) Fur Vest / Coat
Long Coat
Black Leather Jacket
(Distressed) Denim Jacket

Clothing:
Different Pattern Pants: Leopard / Striped / Plaid / Corduroy
Blazer(s) – My fav!
White Button Down Shirt – for layering
Patterned Button Down Shirts- (Animal Print)
Basic Colored Sweater(s) – Turtlenecks are my go to

(Good) Denim In – Skinny / Boyfriend / Cropped
Midi / Maxi Dress – Don’t forget the hosiery!
Midi / Maxi Skirt – ( pleated…)
T-Shirts – I heart band or logos ones
Jumpsuit – so fun to layer!

Shoes:
Tennis Shoes -Converse are a classic
Patented Black Loafers
Mules – I like the low heeled ones
Rain boot- Hunter; need I say more!?
White Booties – all the rave right now- but I think will stick around!

Don’t forget a good handbag and sunnies!

That is all folks! I hope this was helpful to those wanting to start a Capsule Wardrobe. I would definitely reccomend you start small. Go through your closet and eliminate those pieces you havent worn in years and donate them! Also, thrift, thrift, thrift! If you love to shop, thrifting is a small way you still get to shop but help eliminate more clothing waste and save money at the same time.

Thanks for reading! Come back soon to see my Spring Capsule.

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019!

About Me

Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s that time again. I always look forward to the Holidays and New Years, but I always get a little sad when it’s over. 2018 was a great year for me, I finally took a leap and decided to start this blog, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for years now. For 2019, I would like to plan out and set my goals, and see them in writing that way I’m held responsible for them. I would also like to read this at the end of this year and see what goals I accomplished.

As the new year starts, I would like to focus mainly on my mental and physical growth. Get back to a cleaner diet and workout a couple times a week. I want to dedicate more time to my blog and write a minimum of one post a week as well as get some vlogs out. My goal is to grow my page and blog, while making sure I keep my focus on my love for fashion, beauty and home decor.

Traveling more is always a goal of mine, I already have a couple trips planned and I can’t wait to plan some more. I cannot wait to see what 2019 has in store for me, but I also love to look back and see my past work and learn and grow from it.

So, here’s a look at my last year in pics…. ( no particular order, just some highlights)

Did your 2018 goals become reality? What are some goals you made for 2019!? Do you have any blog posts idea you would like to submit? Let me know on here or on my IG ! Thank you for the support I received in my first months as a blogger and I hope you guys stick around to see my posts this year.

House Haas part I

Home Decor

Home Decor and DIY projects have always been a passion of mine. I bought my first home about a year and a half ago and I have been working on it one project at a time. Although we are very far from done (I don’t think there’s ever an end point) we love taking our weekends to work on projects. From painting, to changing light fixtures, adding a backsplash, constantly changing the decor with the seasons and always thinking of something new to do, I wanted to share some progress (before and after) pictures with you guys. We have so many more ideas that we want to see come to life and hopefully will start on them soon!

Kitchen

I’ll start with my kitchen upgrades. I’ve done simple inexpensive upgrades to my kitchen. The most drastic and my fav so far has been the backsplash. My kitchen is on the smaller side to me so I wanted to make the most out of it. I knew I wanted to keep it as light and open as possible, but I didn’t want to wash out the entire kitchen with everything being white so I added some black touches. I went for black grout and a black design on my backsplash, black handles on the cabinets. I also added some open shelving, black chalkboard wall and changed the pantry door color and handles.

Half Bath

My half bath project was easy and simple. It took us one day to paint, change the hardware and mirror and add some shelves.

Laundry Room

We all dread laundry day don’t we? I wanted to make my laundry room a place that if I HAD to be there at least I wanted it to be a pretty sight. Added some peel and stick backsplash (linked here) . Changed the shelving and did faux shiplap on the side walls. [What a difference a ruler and pencil can do].

Part II of this post will be dedicated to Home Decor and ways to decorate during the different seasons. You can always catch more home decor pics and DIY projects on my Instagram !
