The Meaning Behind "ÉLAN"

Okay so I've changed the name of my blog for two reasons;
1.) I hope to have my own line called Miranda Castel (which was my old blog name) and I can't have my blog and my clothing line be the same name, I mean I can but I simply don't want to and besides, you can't have two domains with the same address but go to different places
2.) I wanted my blog to have its own name, just like every book has a title, I wanted my blog to have its OWN title.
ÉLAN is a french word that means having the feeling of eagerness or liveliness. I relate to this word 100 % because I'm always eager and excited (about fashion of course lol). Élan also means elegant and can be focused on someones distinct STYLE or flair, not only in their wardrobe, but their forte of music and art. Élan may look like a simple noun, but its actually just the opposite, and that is why I believe that its a perfect name for my blog. It describes not only me, but also my blog. How perfect? ;)

Outfit of the Day

(LQ photos due to my camera not being able to focus very well at night. I'm sorry!)

Today I built my outfit from this faux fur vest that I bought at Wetseal. I've been searching for a faux fur vest for the longest time, I've seen a few around but most of the time they didn't have the size in the one I liked. Although this one is a size too big, I was getting a little impatient and it was on sale! BONUS! ;-)

One of my favorite color combinations is brown/tan and teal, so when I was trying to find some accessories for this outfit, I automatically went to my new ring that I bought at Charlotte Russe and this old necklace that I found lying around my moms house.

Vest: WetSeal
