The Perfect (Or Near to) Accessories

Was never a fan of the Alex and Ani bracelets but then I got my first one from my mother and it was the Positivity one and read ever literature available on it. The moment I tried it on and wore it, I knew I had a new love affair.

Then came the Phoenix bracelet one that you see in the photo with the Positivity one. I did buy 3 more after this image was taken, a Zodiac one with my zodiac sign, one that features Saint Anthony, and the Apple of Abundance.

Then I saw an inspired one by an unknown designer done in sterling silver and it was the tree of life which I did buy and its a gorgeous addition to them, probably will do a post on that at another time.

And lately, been shopping my closet in terms of bag accessories and found these babies to be my most frequently used carrier in terms of mileage:

This gorgeous J. Crew Marlie Crossbody Bag in Tweed and Leather.

Then of course my amazing worn in il Bisonte brown leather backpack. (Sorry for the upside down photo)

Me loving the high street designers, cant do without a piece of LV. Loving this Louis Vuitton backpack I got a month ago in Florida.

Another great tote, this one is Tory Burch's Double Zip Tote in Robinson Saffiano leather. Love how you can prim up an outfit with this or can travel as a carry on!

Another Tory Burch for when I dont feel like for a lot is this Spectator Mini Crossbody Wallet on Chain. It has slots for cards, cash, and an pouch area with space for various mini things. Love the pink color, I usually dont but its the perfect shade.

Another classic from one of my old Coach lookbooks from 2004, is this Coach Wave baguette. Its a rare style thats always fun to have and keep.

Then loving my Hermes CDC bracelet and Lanvin Snakeskin cap toe pink suede sneakers combo, a bit rocker yet luxurious.

Draping in Southwest

Love how bundled up and casual this outfit is. Paired a cool southwest like sweater with my army overcoat padded parka from JcPenny, LV backpack, Gap 1969 straight fit denim and navy Converses.

One of my favorite sweaters as of recent, this one by RD Style Label. Loving the fringe and southwest knitting pattern. Its warm, zip down, cozy, and its layer friendly.

Its Everything: Ripped Boyfriend Denim

So now that the nippy extremely cold weather is sort of passing by and the first day of spring on the calendar as come and gone, I am starting to really wear out my cozy items and introduce my ripped denim into my outfits.

This specific pair by GAP from their 1969 collection in the sexy boyfriend fit in the light wash. So I did a nice collective outfit post of different ways these jeans can be worn in my style.

This first look is a nice southwest boho inspired sweater by RD Style Label and a J.Crew Engineer Stripe Top. I love the mixing of the patterns and the way that the crisp shirt is dressed down with a cool cozy knit like this sweater.


Next is my favorite Allsaints Draping Sweater in this lovely grey shade that gives it an effortless look with the ripped denim.



Then I did some various mixing. For a lowkey look, paired with my white Allsaints Short Sleeve Jumper Sweatshirt, very casual. Then doing a little bit of casual sporty with my Adidas tee on the left with a ombre striped red, grey, and black drape sweater.

Then taking the sweatshirt trend further, on the left my Loft Jeweled Sweatshirt with a little blue showing. On the right, is my Isabel Marant for H and M sweatshirt having these parisian chic city ease.


Next is this sweater on sweater look with my striped Burberry Brit Sweater with Allsaints Off-White Asymmetric Sweater. Love how casual but neat this is.


I just love how much items you can pair with these jeans and dont even need to buy a new pair yet, its like shopping your own closet but I cant rule out getting a couple more things if I happen to see them. Im a shopper and a sale maven.

Retrospect: Mansur Gavriel Bags

I never really understood the hype behind the minimalist and successful Mansur Gavriel bags, by the design duo, Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel. They are almost always sold out everywhere, they had tote and bucket bags which they are known for at a fair leather price point. But then I started to really look at them when they presented new shapes for this Fall 2015 coming up.


They are bringing Fold over flap crossbody bags in new colors like forest green, pretty pink, and a creamy white and of course a courier style shoulder bag/backpack.

I expect the price points to be a bit higher on these but I think they will become even more popular. I do like the new bag shapes more but I can sort of taste the hype behind them. I have yet to see one in person, maybe I might feel differently then and get obsessed? Who knows? The point is I understand the hype since we all have the flashy bags and want something subdued but looks like a million bucks and you can carry it around forever. I get it :)

For Our Department Store Buddies

For those that work in department stores like Macys, Bloomies, and Nordstrom etc, I notice for so many years that employees on their break carry a clear like case displaying all imaginable things and personal products that I know may or may not be embarrassing. I mean a display of your things in a clear bag must be an invasion of privacy but for your job I suppose its necessary so it is a loss prevention technique and so that the department stores can control whether or not, you take anything from the store or not.

I  see those clear cases and I wonder if they are standard issued or not. That is my big question, if not, I think a great solution is cute clear and see-through but funky designed bags/cases for our department store sisters.

Ones like the Dooney and Bourke Lunch Totes

and my very own Juicy Couture Fragrance Clear Tote Bag



I think they are great for a cute design to that everyday clear case and it holds a ton more of necessities that you might need.

Just In Love: Invicta Peace & Love Lupah Watch Set

Hanging with my mother and doing her favorite bonding pasttime, watching the home shopping channels like QVC, Evine (Formely SHOPHQ), Jewerly Television, and HSN, I always have known Evine to carry such regal, gorgeous, and exquisite pieces for every woman and man. Sometimes watching everything gets on my nerves but two weekends ago I tuned into EVINE for the Invicta brand, which has some lovely watches for a fraction of the original cost! And this set caught my eye!

The Invica Peace and Love Lupah Watch with 7 interchangeable genuine leather straps.

I always admired the interchangeable feature of strappy watches like Michele but found them a pain in the past, this time I have opened up to the idea of doing so and so far, I have worn out my watch nearly everyday, with a new color! Its easy to change with two tabs on the back.

The golden face looks so expensive and so does the glossy leather straps. It comes with the Baby Blue, Orange, Pink, Blood Red, Ostrich Yellow, Serene White, and Classic Black. I still keep them in the case.


Here I have it changed into blue:


Then red:


I honestly dont talk a lot about jewelry and timepieces unless they are of quality and this is it. I just had to share. And there is a warranty thank god, just in case anything happens, though I hope nothing will!

Workout Gains from Insanity Max 30 & Whats Next!


I am writing this as a little break from fashion and pop culture talk, to discuss what I am currently doing for fitness, my results thus far, and whats next on my agenda! I purchased Insanity Max 30 for Christmas back in december, not sure if I mentioned it here, but it was a good purchase from Beachbody. Last one I did was Piyo, and I havent used it at all. 

Anyways, with that said, I started with it right away and got through all of it, though, the days werent consecutive at times, I made it through the *Coughs* entire 60 days as of tomorrow, with my last workout being Friday Fight Rd 2. Then afterwards this Monday, I do the first ever workout I did of the program which was Cardio Challenge to test my max out time and how far I've come. And then Tuesday, move onto some other rotation like a hybrid or a new program!

Results wise: I lost 5 pounds, I could have lost more but my eating was a bit shaky at times and recently really started to log 98% what I eat over at myfitnesspal, cant be 100% because I am human, so I try my best and the thought of logging for the rest of my life puts a daunting-alarming feeling once in every while. Inches wise about a couple off my abs, sides, legs, calves, and arms. Endurance and mentally, I definitely have more energy, more clarity, and I am getting better with resistance required workouts and am able to last longer, this is in part due to the max out element of it.


This program is one of the most amazing ones I have done, some dont like it, I do. Its a shorter version to Insanity and doesnt feel like forever. An amazing hybrid of the original and shorter version would be awesome with some p90x3 mixed in!

Which brings me to whats next:

- More Gym Time, absolutely.
- Ballet Beautiful workouts mixing in nicely.
- Cross training a blend of different styles of workouts, so if I mix Shaun T with Tracy Anderson and Chalene Johnson with Bob Harper, yes~
- And of course my Fe Fit 28 day challenge and 90 day rotation to do.
- And Fitness Blender and other beachbody & youtube workouts to do!


There is so much but as long as you keep moving, you will be fine. Fitness definitely keeps me fit, active, and from being lonely.

The Comfy Aesthetic - 2 Ways ~

Okay, so there is a way you can look so edgy and polished at the same time. While there is another way you can add in color and have a fun outfit.

I did one outfit two ways! Meaning different shoes and coats.

The first way is my J. Crew Sweater Top with rippling paired with my Gap black coated denim.
I wore my Tory Burch tall lace up boots and Lodenfry Wool Trench coat. Not only is it a solid neutral outfit but its bad ass at the same time and feels very Euro chic.


The second way is the same outfit except I donned my Jcpenny Green Parka Coat with a colorful Missoni-like scarf and my funky pink Lanvin suede and snake print sneakers.

A great styling tip is to tuck your scarf into a slim belt around your jacket/coat. Not only does it nip in the waist a bit but makes your scarf look like a lapel of your jacket/coat.

Not to mention, sneakers take down the intensity of an outfit and makes it much more fun and casual.


Peace, Kaye Beeh~

Glad that someone made a compilation of this.
