A good girlfriend of mine always jokes that every time she comes over, she’s going to be looking at all my shoes. I must admit, I have a weakness for gorgeous footwear! My mom once told me that if you believe in feng shui, you’re not supposed to wear new shoes on your birthday, and admittedly, it’s never been a rule I’ve been good at following. Instead, it quickly taught me to get into the habit of wearing all of my new shoes almost immediately after buying them, so that I could always put on any pair I wanted at all times. Afterall, life is too short, and you’ll never know when you’ll get to wear your favourite pieces again!

In the midst of the huge wave of trends that wash over us every season, I had been thinking a lot more about going back to the more classic route. I have seen so many fantastic and beautifully intricate pieces and accessories be released, that I felt the best way to ever wear these trends is to balance it out with sleek or classic pieces that are worth keeping for the long haul. There are a few timeless pieces that are worth investing and I’m sharing 5 below. 
The beating sun is on my face and I know it might not always last all day in Florida. I can feel the humidity rising as the short rainfall is about to happen. Whether I’m in Miami, Los Angeles or New York, it’s definitely going to get hot and I know that a great linen or cotton dress will be one of the stylish summer essentials I’ll frequently reach for. These breezy pieces are always a seasonal classic and there are so many great available options to buy now. 
When I was a young girl, I was very fortunate to learn early on what beauty truly meant. My parents and older sister somehow instilled in us self-value and confidence. I’d be lying if I told you my mom wore make-up. She didn’t. While I am guilty of acknowledging I don’t always feel my very best – pushed out with regular bouts of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and constant bloating (I seriously need to get back to eating cleaner) however, I don’t believe that really affects how beautiful I am, and those similar things that side track you from remembering how beautiful each one of YOU are, should not as well. They should just be an indication on making small changes that improve how you feel, not how beautiful you are. Your beauty comes from how you treat yourself and others. It starts with your soul and personality; how you make people feel, your values, confidence, selflessness, integrity, thoughtfulness and behaviour.
