Weekend Looks!

Yassss layering season is here, although Summer is my favorite season, I cant help but love the Fall/ Winter due to the fact that I love layering my clothing. Summer clothes are cute and simple but I really feel like you can create amazing looks during the colder months when layering, boots, and accessories come into play. As you all know a few weekends ago I attended VA Fashion Week, and wanted to share my looks with you. After 12 years of owning my Guess by Marciano bustier I finally got a chance to wear it, and I'm absolutely in love with it, why am I just now wearing this piece! I wore it under my Forever 21 blazer and over the knee Colin Stuart boots that I ordered from Victoria Secret a few years ago. My favorite Moto Jacket and black Fedora were also in rotation that weekend, here are a few pics of my looks! Ladies what are your favorite winter accessories I must say mine is hats, but I also have a new found addiction to leather gloves!

Forever 21 Blazer, Guess by Marciano Bustier, H&M Black Skinny Jeans, H&M White Belt

Love this Bustier!!

Layers!

Wearing my ASOS Black Turtleneck dress, its a go to when I'm clueless as to what I'm going to wear! I'm a firm believer that every woman should own at least one Little Black Dress!

Happy Layering Ladies!

Alexander Wang for H&M

November 6th cant get here soon enough, I've been waiting on this collaboration since the Spring when I first got wind that the legendary Alexander Wang would be creating a line for H&M, he's one of my favorite designers, I've always been a huge fan of Wang and this line doesn't disappoint. The scuba inspired highly textured collection is perfect for the Fall, I love the muted color pallet that Wang chose to go with consisting primarily of white, black, and various shades of gray. The simplicity of this collection is what I truly love, the line features leggings, crop tops, and sweatshirts, essentials every women should have in her closet. Yall already know I will be on online at midnight filling my shopping cart on November 6th, reminder is already set in my phone! The sweatshirt and two-piece crop top and legging set are a must for my fall wardrobe! 

Love this set!!

Pure Dopeness!

30 for 30!

So, last month I celebrated my 30th Birthday, I honestly cant believe I'm already 30 seriously where has the time gone. Anyone who recently turn 30 understands what I'm talking about, seems like just yesterday I was filling out my college class schedule and now all of a sudden I'm the big 3-0, geesh time truly waits for no one! I had a wonderful b-day my babe surprised me with a lovely dinner, all my close friends and family were there, it was a really special night for me. Anyway there are so many things that I want to do this year, and so many places I want to explore, so I promised myself that I would do 30 things I've never done before. I kicked off my 30 for 30 plan with a Pole Dancing class during my birthday weekend, a few of my close friends and I attended a 2 hour intense if I might add Pole Dancing class at Dance Studio X here in RVA, our instructor was great and it truly was a amazing workout. I swear for about 3 days my body was super sore, I could barely lift my arms but I love feeling the burn after a good workout, so I really want to incorporate a Pole Dancing class into my workout regimen even if its just once or twice a month. Here's a few pics from the class, for my first time on the pole I didn't do bad I was even was able to pull myself all the way up to the top of the pole, I did that about 3 or 4 times just because I was so shocked that I could actually do it. Your looking at a girl who couldn't do a pull up in school so the fact that I pulled myself up the pole was a small defeat in my eyes. I'll be taking you guys on the journey with me so stay turned to BarclayINC to keep up with my 30 for 30 plans, next up on the list is Salsa Dancing! If any of my readers have been Salsa Dancing please leave me a comment with any tips or pointers, I cant wait to share my experiences with you all!

In my head I was a pro, in reality I need a little more practice!

Finally got to wear my pink platforms for the first time, perfect shoes for Pole Dancing glad I found some use for them!
