December 2014 Inspiration/New Year Goals

As they say, new year...new goals...

Color Me Not

Neutral tones for a day out....

Home for the Holidays

With this year almost to a close, it's time to prepare for 2015...

November Loves 2014

The many lovely things I love thus far...

Black and Blue

Blue denim everything with the change of season...

Rustic Evenings

Evenings feel warmer with just a hint of rustic threads thrown on...

Surrender to Positivity

Whilst attending my usual Friday Yoga classes, I listened closely to what my instructor said to us.
Much of it laid in the words of,
"Inner peace is the absence of internal and external conflict..."

Shades of Beige

I love me some neutrals and beiges for any season...

Bohemian Fall

Forest greens and magenta reds fill up the streets in this urban jungle...

Fair in Black

Autumn is the season that makes me bring black out in my outfits...

Black Fall

Fall black chic...

About Me ...

Hello everyone!!!

Welcome to Block 15, a blog not only about my insight on the fashion and beauty industries. but about well-being and what I love about life. 

I am currently attending Columbia College Chicago, about to receive my BA in 2D Animation/ Cinema Art and Science. I will be attending the Douglas J. Aveda Institute of Chicago for Cosmetology to dive deeper into the world of hair artistry. I have a true and immense love for both fashion and beauty, so I decided to intertwine both into a blog. 

I wish to share what I know, what I am learning, and what I will know onto this blog. I wish to express and share my creative talents with all those who pass through this blog and that you can get something out of it, whether it be through my self-expression of fashion or beauty with the various looks I post or things I am loving at the moment....or simply, my lifestyle advice. 

I hope you find useful information from this blog that is solely based of my own personal opinions and views and leave with inspiration and motivation for your own life. 

I share my own inspirations and motivations by means of this blog....hopefully you become inspired to do the same!!

Meditation for Happiness and How to Stay Calm

Happiness is a choice...maintain it with a couple simple steps

Hair Obsessions..

With fall one day away, I'm having a hair dilemma. Longer hair is calling to me...but so is shorter hair..

Cleansing the Body Through Yoga...

Yoga is not only beneficial to the body, but most importantly, to the mind and soul...

Fall Black with Bowler Hat

My little fall black dress...

2014 Fall Fashion

Red lips, black, cropped A-line hair....oh my!!! Fall ready...

Spring into Fall

It's that time of year, with the leaves starting to change and the weather cools down, that we want to feel warm and cozy and "fall" into the autumm trends (pun intended)...

The Red Lip

Jumping into the fall season soon, a red lip is essential to my go-to makeup look for the upcoming season.

Hair Topix: The Clipper

As many have asked how I do my hair or who cuts it, I thought I would do a "pic" friendly post on what I use to get either a more polished "fauxhawk" or a more tousled look to the hair.

Parisian OOTD

                

I've become more intrigued by the "Parisian" look. Hoping to travel to Paris and Europe in the near future, I want to learn and share more about the fashion and style worn overseas. Style icons such as Inez and Nine de la Fressange are my top go-to women for the effortless, yet chic Parisian style. 

Sophisticate in Black

Back to black. Black is a color that both combines well with other items in a wardrobe and can be elegant and sophisticated whilst turned down by pairing with more casual accessories.

Handbag Collection

Shopping for handbags is such a hobby of mine. Whether it be online shopping or in-store, the vast

variety of handbags to look and choose from is such a delight. 

Boho and Brazen Berry Inspired Summer OOTD

I love accessories. Whether it be heavy bangles, long earrings, or a statement bag, I love decorating the outifts I wear with little things here and there. 

The Black Tank with an Everyday Smokey Eye

Tank tops, in my opinion, are a must in a wardrobe, but a black tank has always been my staple when I have no idea what to wear.

The Black Cocktail Dress

Every time I wear this dress, I feel like a superhero for some odd reason. Nevertheless, it has become one of my most beloved dresses I own, as it can be worn for very exclusive events or for a night out. I never used to be such a big fan of black in my wardrobe, but I think this dress changed my way of thinking...

The Summer White Dress

I think I've found the perfect white dress for summer...

Summer/Fall Interview OOTD

Coral Blazer for an Interview...

Summer Preview

In the coming weeks, I'll be posting up more on summer trends and some new products I've been testing and loving. I will also be giving more insight on hair as I have not posted much on the topic as previously said. I will have more to talk about as this school semester comes to a close. Stay tune...

Be Back Soon

I haven't posted lately due to a busy schedule, but I'll be back soon to do beauty product reviews and more on hair. I plan to change up my hair soon so stay tune for that!!
