Velvet Jeans

December 19, 2016

Happy Monday Everyone! It is the final stretch until Christmas and Chanukah and I personally can not wait to make latkes and eat holiday cookies all week long! Now one of the biggest trends this season was velvet. As a kid I loved the feel of velvet I would always tell my parents that I was petting the velvet item and making nice with it. This season I wanted to find a great pair of Velvet black jeans. I tried on so many pairs and I just couldn’t find one that fit. It was crazy to me because I would try on brands that I knew my size in from previous purchases, but because it was a different material the jeans didn’t fit the same. At one point for one of the brands I tried on a double zero 00 and it still didn’t fit me! I started to become concerned, but finally I found a pair that fit me like a glove. These pair from J Brand are honestly the most comfortable pair of velvet pants. All the other velvet pants felt more like a jegging and just looked slouchy when I tried them on. These fit like a tight fitted jegging in the sense that they aren’t as firm as a jean, but they aren’t as loose as a jegging would get after a few wears. I also love the fact that they are mid rise on the waist because as we all have seen these past few months I am addicted to anything mid rise or high waisted. I will say this that if you are looking for a velvet pant go into the store and try on a few different brands. Don’t just buy online based upon your size. In my other J Brand jeans I was a size larger than I am in these velvet ones. If you are stuck on where to look my suggestion is go to your local Nordstrom or Bloomingdales. Especially right now before the Christmas and Channukah a lot of the stores will be having huge sales and if for some odd reason they do not have your size in the store ask if they can order it for you to be shipped to your home. More likely than not they will give you complimentary expedited shipping. Happy shopping everyone and I hope you all get all of your holiday shopping done soon! <3

My Go To Winter Bag – LV

December 1, 2016

Happy Thursday and happy first day of December! It’s crazy how much time has flown by and we are almost in 2017! So you all still have some time to think of your New Year’s resolutions, but until then let’s end 2016 with a bang! One of the things that I noticed when moving to New York City is that especially with the snow and rain and all the different weather climates you need a bag that is weatherproof for all of them. Especially a bag that if you need something while it is snowing outside you don’t have to dig around inside to find what you are looking for. I got this bag a few years ago from Louis Vuitton and since then they have revamped it a little to include different colors and handles to match the color inside. The Pallas bag also now comes in a smaller version as well. This bag comes with the general shoulder strap if you don’t want to wear with just the normal handles. Louis Vuitton is also offering for purchase a longer strap if you want to wear the bag cross body or just other different shoulder straps for all of their bags in the store. This allows you to change up your normal bag that you may have had for years with a new accessory to it. I personally love this bag because first off it has a zipper on top, but the side pockets are easily accessible especially when it is snowing heavily outside and need to get something fast. This is my go to bag for everyday during the winter and even the smaller version of this bag is a great size for everyday wear this winter. Check out the Louis Vuitton website for all the different color options that they have. I personally would go with a darker color, but it’s all up to personal preference. Hope everyone has a great day!

Shiny Shoes – Louis Vuitton

November 3, 2016

Happy Thursday everyone! The seasons are changing and I have officially switched my closet over from Summer to Fall. I love boot season! Being short boot season is a good excuse not to have to wear heels; there are only so many styles of boots and booties that are out there. Last year, I was on the hunt for a pair of booties that were different, but were also wearable with multiple outfits. These shiny Louis Vuitton shoes are the perfect mix of both classic and edge all in one shoe. They have the design of a flat bootie, but the look of something edgy. I love the details on the heel with both gold and silver accents it matches with both accesories. I know there is always a stigma when picking out your jewelry with your shoes. Some people say “oh the shoe has gold accents on it so you can only wear gold jewelry.” I say if the accent is large enough that it would look very odd wearing a different color jewelry then don’t do it. However, with these shoes since the heel has both gold and silver you can choose which color scheme you want when it comes to your jewelry selection. I personally chose silver, because I wear mostly silver jewelry. I do have a few amazing gold pieces that I wear from time to time, but in this case with the grey sweater and black jeans- silver jewelry just seemed the most appropriate. The only problem with these shoes is they are not meant to be worn when it is snowing or slippery outside. Because most flat booties don’t really have any traction on the bottom of the shoe, if it is raining or snowing outside be mindful because you will trip if you aren’t super careful. Something I have learned living in New York City is you need shoes for all weather so even if you want a specific pair of shoes for an outfit, you always need a backup plan incase the weather doesn’t allow you to wear those perfect pair of shoes for that look.

The Wristlet Is Back!

October 17, 2016

Happy Monday! It being the start of the week I wanted to throw it back today to a trend that we all know too well. When I was 13 the purse that everyone in my grade had was a wristlet. It wasn’t too big and it was just big enough that whenever any of my friends and I were going to a party we were able to fit our lip glosses and cellphones inside. Now the wristlet is back in style and a lot of different designers are bringing back this trend, but putting their own spin on it. Now back in the day the wristlets I always saw were just a smaller version of a purse and not really structured or anything of that sort. This Louis Vuitton wristlet is now my go to bag when I am not in the mood to carry a purse on my shoulder. Surprisingly I am able to fit a lot into this bag with it still laying seemingly flat. Inside there is even a divider and slots in the back to put your credit cards in. For me that was a major selling point because it is hard enough to fit all of your must haves into a smaller bag, but when a bag makes it easier for you to carry all the things you want and more that is huge. My suggestion if you are looking for a wristlet is buy one that is neutral in colors. This Louis Vuitton one I can wear with almost everything and if it came in black I would probably buy it as well. Also as i just previously said that the major selling point for this bag for me was the card slots is to make sure that you can fit your 3 major necessities when you go out. Those three things are your cell phone, wallet and your keys. I personally have a Iphone 6s Plus and finding a bag that fits that big phone is hard to find, but this one does it easily. I hope everyone loved today’s post and are now going to go out and buy a wristlet 🙂

All Red Everything

October 15, 2016

For anyone that knows me, my closet usually consists of black, white and beige. I am not one of those people that likes to wear a lot of color, but I am trying to step out of my comfort zone and wear things that normally I wouldn’t wear. One day while going through Gilt I saw that one of the brands listed was Black Halo and I only knew about them because I had just purchased a dress from them for my best friend’s sister’s wedding in Florida. When you look at this outfit at first glance you think it’s a dress right? Well you would be incorrect because it is a skirt and a crop top, but they are sold together as an outfit! I love the fact that it is two pieces because if I wanted to wear them separately and mix and match them with something else I can. At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about the length of the skirt, but they have this outfit now with a shorter skirt option if you don’t like the length of it. One of the other major things that made me fall in love with this outfit was the fact that the skirt has pockets. I don’t know why, but you can ask any girl if a dress / skirt has pockets it’s a game changer. Black Halo’s outfits even when not on Gilt are fairly priced and are very comfortable and easy to wear for any occasion. As I previously said, I normally don’t wear color, but this shade of red on me, even when I am not tan and am pale, didn’t look bad on my skin tone. Some reds are a lot brighter than this one it’s just the matter of finding the right shade of a color that works best for you. To see some of the other two pieces outfits here is the link to Black Halo’s website. They also have some great dresses and if you keep your eyes peeled they often go on sale at different retailers. They are great pieces that you can wear to all of your upcoming events.

Happy Columbus Day! Vacation Sandals

October 10, 2016

Now that Hurricane Matthew has finally passed it is finally sunny outside in Miami. For everyone that is away and it warm weather the greatest thing to have for any vacation is a comfortable pair of cute sandals. For years I had been searching for a great pair of white gladiator sandals, but I never could find a pair that fit with what I was looking for. I wanted a pair that was first and foremost comfortable because who wants to wear a pair of sandals that every single time you dread putting them on in fear that you will be getting a blister from them? These white sandals from Louis Vuitton I was concerned, about at first, that I would get blisters all the time because of the material of the white straps. Just like how when I was breaking in my Gianvito Rossi heels for the first time, I wore these shoes around my apartment with a pair of KB socks to just see if the straps rubbed my feet weird in certain spots. The spots that I was concerned about, I put on the small version of the blister band aids that usually are meant to just wrap around your toes on those trouble spots and it really made a difference. I did that for the first few times I wore these shoes and now I don’t need to wear the blister band aids at all. I think it helped, most importantly, to break in the shoes, but also made the areas that may have felt a little rough on my feet soften up so now when I wear them I never get a blister. If you are in the market for white sandals that you can wear all next summer this is the time to do it! A lot of these shoes are now on sale and you can buy them now break them in and then store them until summer 2017.

Saturday Night Vibes – Wallet On A Chain Purse

October 8, 2016

It’s Saturday night and you are about to go out with all of your friends and for us girls there is always the dilemma of what purse are you going to wear with your outfit. The reason why this is such a dilemma, at least for me, is because I don’t want to be carrying around a huge bag the entire night, but I also want to make sure that I have all of the necessities that I need for my night. Enter: the wallet on the chain purse. This bag is honestly the most amazing purse that I have ever purchased. It has closure that can only be opened when you press on the two silver buttons so you know it secured. I love the details on this bag and the pop of color of orange to offset the traditional Louis Vuitton pattern. When you open the bag, the purse part has slots for all of your credit cards and a pouch in the back for all your cash. It also has a zipper pouch in the front which I normally put my keys in so they don’t fly out when I open my bag. On top of that, it isn’t too long on me when I wear it just as a shoulder bag and not necessarily as a cross body bag. That is always my problem with being short; if I don’t wear bags like this cross body they will lay almost next to my knees, but not this one. When purchasing a wallet on a chain purse my biggest suggestion it to make sure that the bag is able to close fully. I have had too many friends who have gone out and they think that their wallet on the chain bags are closed and nothing is falling out to them coming home and noticing that either their phone is gone or someone stole it from their purse when they weren’t noticing. As my mom always says keep your whits about you and have fun, but also make sure that all of your things are secure.

Micro Mini Handbag

April 7, 2016

This past year has been all about the micro mini handbag. Whether you saw Kendall Jenner carrying her baby Céline back or all of the editors walking with their mini bag to fashion week, it was and continues to beeverywhere! I knew if I was going to buy a micro mini handbag, regardless of the designer, it would have to be in a color that I would wear often. What color do I wear the most often when it comes to handbags? Of course the answer was clear: I would be looking for a black micro mini handbag. When I heard that Louis Vuitton was making their Alma bags in black monogram vernis leather I was hoping they would be making the small version, the Alma BB. Lucky for me they had it! The shape was classic and it wasn’t a regular leather bag that would show scratches on it very quickly. I also loved that it came automatically with the cross-body strap for the bag. Sometimes with these micro mini handbags they don’t always come with the cross body strap and you have to purchase them separately. If you are already spending so much money on a bag why it doesn’t come with the strap is beyond me,and since this bag did I was ecstatic about it, this clearly was the right choice. This is now my go to bag for anything when I go out. It is not too small that I am trying to stuff all of my things for the night in and it is not too big that I feel like I am still carrying my everyday bag around when I go out at night. It comes in a variety of colors and material options on their website. My suggestion if you are going to buy a micro mini handbag is, as I mentioned earlier, to go with a color that you know you wear a lot of. Also a general rule for this and for fashion, don’t settle for a bag or item just to have one. It is worth the wait to get the bag and item you really want.

The Perfect Black Bootie

March 14, 2016

When I moved to NYC in August of 2013 I knew I wasn’t going to be able to wear my heels out at night once winter came along so I was on the hunt for the perfect black bootie. My mom who is very classic with her style wanted me to have a pair of booties that were timeless. She surprised me with these gorgeous Louis Vuitton booties when I came home for Thanksgiving break that year. Sometimes when it comes to staple pieces you should invest a little more $ into those pieces because they are ones that you will have from season to season. When looking for a black bootie you want something with a little bit of a platform for comfort, but not too tall as if you are going to be wearing them in the snow / rain. The last thing you want is to have problems walking when its snowing outside or even raining. One thing that I will not forget living in New York is to water proof all of my leather shoes. If you go to amazon.com this Meltonian Water and Stain Protector spray is a great product. Make sure you open your windows or put on a fan while doing it because it is a very potent smell. It says on the bottle to apply two coats but I use the entire bottle when I weather proof a pair of shoes normally :-). Just out of precaution and so I don’t have to re apply mid season. I suggest applying a new coat every season if you wear the shoes a lot, but if not every other season to keep your shoes like brand new!
