Get your nails done, get a blow-out and head to your favorite spa, boutique or fancy lunch spot. Today is 'Treat Yo Self Tuesday.' You are constantly busting your butt to please others, but today you get to give yourself some loving. My generation, Gen Y, also known as the "ADD Generation", is going non-stop. We work our selves to death, stress over everything and have the need to become extraordinary. Our drive to achieve our goals exceeds beyond just our education. Some of us are workaholics, working two to three jobs during school, or even after. While this is an amazing thing, we also need to take time to un-wind every so often. The independency that has been planted inside us from a young age, is the reason behind our motivated selves. I appreciate the fact that I have to be independent and take care of things myself, but sometimes this diva needs a break. To escape the pressures of life, I like to indulge in a nice lunch and grazing the racks in my favorite boutiques. I do not necessarily need to be with anyone, I can enjoy doing these things by myself. I think everyone should be able to do that. Some people believe you need to have people around you all the time, but it is equally as important to be content being alone at times. It gives you the opportunity to reflect on yourself, re-group and get your life together in the way you want it. Happiness can only come within, and not be something you expect from someone else to provide. When I reserve these relaxing days for myself, I like to look fabulous doing so. For today's look, I threw on my new favorite pink, chiffon Ted Baker blouse with Houndstooth shorts. This outfit makes me feel glamorous and powerful. Every woman needs an outfit like that in her wardrobe. While you are on your hustle penciling in appointments, just remember to schedule that relaxing day in your Kate Spade planner that you need to take.

Summer is in full swing, and if you don't own any Flamingo printed somethings, you need to. Out of nowhere, this funky spring trend has stolen the hearts of many fashion fanatics, including me. Normally, the "hot, new, spring trend" would be florals, gross. I am ecstatic that floral ensembles have taken a back seat this season, to allow some new prints to shine. Every woman loves her some pink, and if she tells you otherwise, she's lying or not to be trusted. Flamingos are pretty, graceful and look amazing on a cotton tee. In fact, they might just be my new favorite zoo animal, sorry Cheetahs. Boutiques are stocking their shelves with this pretty trend, and I was thrilled when I discovered this gem of a shirt at my work. Certain prints can be too excessive for some, but this print can be as subtle or as loud as you want. I paired my flamingos with some comfy, soft shorts that are perfect for a BBQ, poolside pampering or a weekend outing. My favorite summer print is ready for summer, how do you style your flamingo print? Show me in the comments below.

Get My Look!

 
After a long day of shooting for the blog, I threw on a t-shirt and shorts, tied my hair up and called it a day, so I thought. My poor honey had to suffer through nine outfit changes, the miserable heat and the weekend crowd at West Village. When I say "Honey," I am referring to my amazing boyfriend and photographer. He had to capture every look in the matter of four hours. When we arrived to his Dallas apartment, we realized we forgot to shoot one look. Instead of complaining like babies, we seized the opportunity to view the amazing scene of the Dallas Skyline that took our breath away. The scene represented everything I was working so hard for. Success, major corporations, pretty real estate and accomplished careers. I get the most inspiration when I visit Uptown Dallas. The vibe there is just exuding with hard work and accomplishments. To me, this outfit represents a taste of Dallas. With a stunning pair of electric blue heels, I can achieve anything. They empower me and make me strut with confidence. The main idea I want to express is, do not let your past define your future. This is such a cliché, but it applies to my life in every way possible. Everyone goes through their own rollercoaster ride, but it is how you pick yourself up after you fall that determines where you will go. Make your goals a reality and never doubt your abilities, based on your surroundings in which you cannot control. Go and prosper.

Ruffles are the most adorable creation on this planet, thus, you need them. Specifically, you need them attached to your clothing in the right places. What once was a basic, chiffon romper, has now been transformed in to the ultimate glamazon ensemble. People often associate ruffled clothing with southern gals, but surprise! I found this beauty on the streets of Huntington Beach, California. I guess Cali girls can get down with the frills too. As I mentioned in my last post, I took a trip to Irvine, California during spring break and found many souvenirs, aka clothing to add to my already bursting closet. This romper is one of those fabulous finds I purchased at the beach. The fabric is so light and comfy, the fit isn't too tight and shows off all the right assets. When I tried this fun little number on, there were four other amazing colors. Obviously, being the most un-decided human on the planet, it took me forever to chose this bold summer color. I am so glad I picked the fuschia because it rakes in all the compliments. My closet now consists of three long-sleeve rompers, but this one definitely takes the cake. To compliment the ruffled romper, I chose bright accessories to accompany my festive look. Anyone can pull off this sizzling summer shade, seriously.

Basking in Baby Blue

The Look: Pale blue baby-doll dress- Accents Boutique, Black leather jacket- Nordstrom, Leopard wedges- Aldo Shoes, Earrings- kjewelista.com
 
Dare to pair an edgy, leather biker jacket with a sweet, romantic baby doll dress. This look is my go-to GNO ensemble, perfect for a night out with your home-girls. My city chic outfit  brings out my inner downtown diva, and is Instagram approved. I purchased this fabulous, angelic dress from Accents Boutique before my trip to Cali. Although my beachy tan is fading, this dress looks fabulous on anyone, especially with a good steam. I still have leather fever from Fall 2015, so I say it is perfectly fine to get the most wear out of it while it's still breezy outside. I literally wear this jacket every week, it goes with everything and black is classic. The wedges were bought a couple years ago from a closing Aldo store, for only $20. I couldn't resist, even though my wallet was begging for mercy. The earrings were derived from my fellow merchandising student's e-commerce business, which I managed to score for just $5.00. This outfit is a win in my book.


Prints, Purple and Publications

The Look: Grid print crop top- JCPenney, Fuschia pencil skirt- JCPenney, Studded Valentino inspired heels- Cicihot.com, Aqua studs- Francesca's Collections, Beaded black necklace- Charming Charlie, Circle shades- Dallas Market Center


Pull out all the stops in this purple pencil skirt, paired with a printed crop top. The right amount of color, print and rock star accessories, create the most glam, office, street style look. That's a thing right? If not, I'm just creating imaginary ideals in my brain. I envision this office friendly "stop them in their tracks" outfit, to be worn by a fearless  fashionista. She embodies confidence, femininity and personal style. In my head, I would wear this to a meeting with my Editor in Chief at Elle Magazine. I would bring my editorial and feature story ideas to her, she would reject them, make me re-write the entire thing and I would love every minute of it. Now, I am just daydreaming here, but maybe my future fashion career will entail some form of publications, who knows. I always secretly knew there was a reason I drowned myself in deadlines when I was an Opinion Editor for my high school newspaper. My advisor back then, Carol Richtsmeier, "Mrs. Ritchie" as we called her, was like Miranda Priestly in the Devil Wears Prada if you can imagine. Every column I wrote, was re-written and edited at least ten times. She even referred to the newspaper staff as "stupid," which I secretly loved. Thanks to Ritchie, my love for writing and publications has flourished intensely.

Conquering the City in Style











                                                                  (Photography: Bruce LaMotte)

 The Look: Black chiffon blouse- Francesca's Collections, Plaid skirt- Charlotte Russe, Studded Valentino inspired heels- Cicihot.com, Kate Spade New York tote- Nordstrom Rack, 70's inspired  purple pendent gold chain- Gran's closet, Aqua stud earrings- Francesca's Collections



      Nothing says "I'm ready for business" like a classic, chiffon staple blouse. To say that I am obsessed with chiffon fabric would be a drastic understatement. I just can't get enough. Chiffon can go from casual, to dressy with a few tweaks. Here, I've paired my chiffon blouse with a plaid, skater-skirt. The length of the skirt is perfect for the office, but can easily be translated in to a night out in the city. Typical business suits put me to sleep, so I had to create my version of  "business professional." Now, if you're planning on being a lawyer, an accountant or your office has a strict dress code, I would highly advise leaving this sexy-chic outfit for dinner with your girls or hubby. Since my career aspirations include becoming a fashion buyer, this outfit displays the right amount of classy and sassy while remaining uber-glam.

Forestry and Flannels

The Look:  Flannel button-down- Nordstrom Rack,  Jeggings- H&M, Fur vest- Body Central, Booties-H&M, Gold layered pendent necklaces- Sam Moon, Floral statement necklace- Charming Charlie, Drop earrings- Charming Charlie, Arm candy- Dallas Market Center
 
On a crisp winter afternoon, a casual, lumberjack-style photo-shoot seemed necessary. To glam up a classic red and black flannel, I threw on winter's hottest trend, a fur vest. I cannot get enough of this uber-chic ensemble. In casual Hannah fashion, I needed something to add an edgy element to my girly look. Black, acid wash jeggings were the perfect pairing for my foresty outfit. To complete the look, I stepped in to my new H&M booties, and layered gold, chain-link jewelry. This outfit is perfect for channeling your inner pine-seeking self. OK, maybe not for actual forest exploring, but expect to stand out in this fresh take on a classic flannel.

Get The Last Uses of Your Fur

(Polyvore.com - hannahcheers14)
Here's how I styled fur.

This winter, fur vests, ankle booties, leather leggings and pioneer hats were the talk of the fashion world. Fur was huge this season, and I could cry at the thought of putting mine in storage until temps drop again. Fortunately for me, I live in Texas, where one day it's sunny with a high of 80, and the next day it's 20 with a chance of snow. I'm not kidding. When the chilly air presents itself, I like to take advantage and whip out that fur. A fur vest is such a statement piece, you can wear it with the simplest articles of clothing. A white button down, some black leggings, or my favorite, over a dress. Fur doesn't have to cost a kidney either. I grabbed mine from Sam Moon for only $25. The best part about it was that it was faux fur, which meant, no killing of animals. Hooray. Let's just hope that the fur trend comes back around next fall, to bring us some warmth.
