MY STYLE FIX: SPRING LEATHER MOTO

I've had this +Urban Outfitters leather moto jacket for a while now and the fact that it's not in the back of my closet where all my purchasing mistakes go to die, is a testament to the classic staple that it is.  
Whatever I paid for this beauty a few years back is definitely paying off in spades, unlike that stellar college education from which I'm yet to receive any dividends.
The truth of the matter is, this was an investment piece which has stood the test of time and has held up well, unlike that same stellar college education from which I have retained nothing. 
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day<3

MY STYLE FIX: RACHEL ROY FEED TOTE

If you follow me on Instagram @ClosetFix and via my Facebook Page you're already aware that I had the pleasure of meeting talented designer +Rachel Roy at the launch of her FEED India tote bag in NYC.
Generally I don't need much convincing or arm twisting to shop. I usually take to it as if I'm getting paid to spend money frivolously, or so I've been told, and if we're really being honest, it's closer to being lectured and admonished once the credit card bill arrives.  
Most of the time the scolding is warranted, considering based on the stockpile of goods that I've acquired, and to this day have yet to wear, I certainly don't need anything else. 
However, that type of reasoning when it comes to shopping is a stretch for me, as my thought processes are far from rational once I set foot into a mall. So, I figure since I'm going to spend money any way, I might as well put my resources behind a worthy cause. 
Every purchase of Rachel Roy's FEED India bag, provides 100 school meals to children in India. I mean, I'm not going to lie, the bag is pretty cute, so I would've bought it anyway. However, the fact that I'm helping others while I flex my purchasing power is the icing on the cake. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day<3

MY STYLE FIX: FLORAL TRENCH COAT

You can't go wrong with a Closet staple, unlike certain trends, which once acquired, in hindsight seriously made me question my sanity. 
I mean after the sheer embarrassment and dry heaving has subsided from the sight of some of the on trend pieces that I've amassed over the years, the regret sets in and I realize the error of my ways.
In my defense, half the time it's not my fault. It's hard not to succumb to the images of freakishly perfect models styled in the latest or hottest whatever of the moment, which clearly fits like a glove.
  Yet, on me, the same piece looks like something Anna Wintour 
wiped off the bottom of her shoe. However, with a staple item 
like this trenchcoat, there's no worries of a shitty fitting, 
as miraculously, they look amazing on every body.
