Alright guys, it's getting colder out - winter's a' coming which means we need to take extra good care of our bodies!  Since I work with little kids a lot, I go out of my way to stay on top of all my supplements.  I tend to get sick often so vitamin C's an absolute must in my book - I take Emergen-C to support my healthy lifestyle.  I feel more refreshed taking it during the winter months, which brings me to today's post. I'll be sharing my favorite Emergen-C smoothie recipe with you guys.
My drink's super easy to make because it only has 4 ingredients.  Simply take 1 super ripe banana, 1 cup of skim milk, 2 teaspoons of honey, 1 packet of Emergen-C Super Orange and blend it all together.  If you want something sweeter, just throw in more honey.  Maple syrup works, too!
For those of you interested, Emergen-C is available at Walgreens!  There are over 20 flavors so you guys have several options to choose from.  Have you guys tried it? If yes, what's your favorite flavor? Mine's Super Orange. 
How do you guys stay healthy during the wintertime?  Do you take supplements?  Oh and BTW, if this recipe didn't tickle your fancy, you can try the different ones here.  I've tried several of these, and they're all good.  I especially liked Eye-Popping Popsicles and Smooth Raz.

Menswear Inspired Vibes

Re-featuring my fave faux-leather skirt again on SS for today's OOTD.  As you all know, I'm big on re-styling pieces because, well, it's the practical thing to do, ha.  So, for my latest, I threw together a casual menswear-inspired look.  
I paired my skirt with a cropped turtleneck and wore a tweed vest on top for a cozy, fall-friendly vibe. I wanted to keep things simple so I skipped jewelry all together, but I carried my Ferragamo crossbody as an accent accessory - it's surprisingly bold in person!

Feeling straight up regal today on SS!  I centered my latest post around my new formal dress courtesy of Amiclubwear.  I've always been a huge fan of velvet so it was pretty much love at first sight.  On top of it all, it's apparently making a comeback this fall.  I'm sure you all have already seen the standard velvet-dress-over-a-white-tee combo.  What do you guys think of the trend - yah or nah? Would YOU give it a shot?

Anywho, I decided to go all out and accessorize with fancy statement jewelry and killer heels for today's post.  If you're looking for legit costume jewelry,  you need to hit up J Wholesale STAT.  I pretty much get all my baubles from them.  They carry a bajillion designs so there's something for everyone at super affordable prices.
