Date Night In Winter

November 13, 2017

Happy Monday! I am already getting myself together to go home to Miami for the Thanksgiving holiday, but before here is something that I have learned since living in New York. Now every girl wants to look cute on date night and winter and cold weather is no exception. Just because it is cold outside doesn’t mean that you have to wear a cashmere sweater out. My go to for any date night outfit is all black. This is always my go to for two main reason… 1 its easy to match with everything and 2 black is super slimming. Black is also one of the few colors that especially during winter if you are wearing all black no one will judge you or say you look gothic because of your attire. It is completely normal during winter in New York City to be seen wearing all black at all times. I know that I do the majority of the time.

The easiest way to create a great date night look and still be warm is by layering. I love this sheer top from Zara I got last year that I wear over a black body suit because even though it is sheer it surprisingly keeps me warm when I go out. Yes, I of course wear a jacket as well with this outfit, but I wanted you all to be able to see the beauty of this top.

Another thing that I have learned from living in New York City during winter is that restaurants and bars will have the heat on so despite the fact it may be freezing outside that doesn’t mean it will be cold inside as well especially at bars. This is something I learned the hard way my first year living here and I walked out of a bar without my jacket on and stood outside because I was so hot inside and needed to cool off in the frigid cold. Hope you found today’s post helpful! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post to hear how I did with my week without sugar and dairy! Have a good day everyone <3

Bag + Wallet = Perfection!

November 9, 2017

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe that we are already in November it still hasn’t hit me yet. One the hardest things for girls to do when preparing for a night out is to find a bag that can fit everything you need in it. This Louis Vuitton bag the Pouchette Felicie is my new go to bag right now. It comes with two additional items on top of this great bag! There is a small pouch inside with a zipper that I put things in there like hair ties or other things that I don’t want loose in my bag. Then there is another flat wallet that you can put all your credit cards in and also your cash. Since I have the Iphone plus I always have to pick which items to take out of my purse in order to fit my phone. This bag fits everything in it and my phone with room to spare. It comes in a variation of color options, but I choose the classic LV pattern with a pop of a dark pink inside. This bag is also great because you can unclip the chain and use it as a clutch if you want. This is one of those investment pieces that I think is worth every penny. Louis Vuitton is a classic brand that never goes out of style. Click here to head on over to their website to see all the variations of colors they have for this bag. Click Here For the Handbag

On another note I am personally am so excited to go to the Louis Vuitton exhibit in the financial district when I return to New York City after thanksgiving. It tells the whole history of the brand and I have seen videos posted from the museum and it looks AMAZING!  For all of those in NYC bundle up because this weekend looks like it going to be a cold one.

Steals & Deals: Stripped off the Shoulder

August 4, 2017

Happy Friday! This weekend it is a full household in my apartment. I am watching one of my best friends puppies Stanley a cockapoo that is under 6 months old. Stella is getting adjusted to not having all of my attention, but so far so good! Once a month I get emails with additional mark downs from different retailers. The one retailer that I have found the best markdowns recently is Saks Off Fifth. One of the biggest trends of summer that I have seen so many people wear are button down shirts, but not the traditional way we are used to seeing. I found this pink button down off the shoulder top with a front tie by Romeo & Juliet for only $34.99! It is so comfortable and easy to wear despite the fact that I need to wear a strapless bra with it. I love how the sleeves are not the traditional cuffs that you see on button down shirts. I also ordered this top in black and white as well. I personally ordered a size small and I’m glad I did. Otherwise It would be too tight on me that I wouldn’t be able to lift my arms if I took it any smaller.  One thing I will say about Saks Off Fifth is they have a policy for shipping. If your item doesn’t ship within a certain time frame they will cancel your order. Even if the item is still available online they will cancel it. This happened to me with my order of these two tops, but upon calling their customer service they promptly re ordered me the items and found them the same day to ship them to me overnight for FREE!  Saks Off Fifth has recently opened up an actual store in New York City and it is AMAZING!!! If you aren’t that big into online shopping head on over to their store in Midtown right now! They have an amazing selection of low to high end designer items at a fraction of the cost. Hope everyone has had a great week and has a great weekend! I know that I will in puppy town <3

Steals & Deals – Rosé All Day

June 23, 2017

It’s Friday and we all know what that means it’s time for another Steals & Deals to get us to the weekend. Now I know that summertime is when all us girls in New York finally can show off our pedicures to the world, but sometimes I am not in the mood to wear sandals. For years I would hate having to wear sneakers or ballet flats when it was so hot out. I just felt that they didn’t look as cute with my outfits, but I also didn’t want to wear sandals everyday during the summer months. I finally found a solution to my dilemma… ESPADRILLES!

Sam Edelman has been one of my favorite shoe designers since college. My Mom was invited to an event at Nordstrom for early access to their new summer collection and since then I’ve been hooked. They now have a less expensive brand called Circus by Sam Edelman that is available online and in some of their stores. Not like it wasn’t already a steal at the original price of $55 but they are now only $29! They have a great selection of other styles on their website right now at a fraction of the cost. They are so comfortable and easy to wear with any outfit this summer.

I have personally worn these with shorts, jeans and even a dress the other week. A lot of people think you can’t wear them unless you are going to the beach, but you can really wear them everyday if you really want to. I hope everyone had a great week and for those of us staying in the city this weekend get ready for the rain that is coming in for the next two days. If you want to buy these Rosé ALL DAY espadrilles from Circus by Sam Edelman click the link here, but hurry before they are all gone! <3

Mother’s Day Week – Bucket Bag

May 11, 2017

Happy Thursday! I think all fashionistas can agree that one of the major brands to come out in the past few years is Manusr Gavriel. When they first came out their bags would sell out immediately and it sometimes took over 2 months for them to come back in stock. Bucket bags have been in style for years and Mansur Gavriel has brought them back from the dead. My Mom has a custom green bucket bag that she had made over 30 years ago on her honeymoon and it still looks brand new! If your Mom this holiday has been lusting over a new bag this is a  great one for her. My Uncle’s got me the mini bucket bag for my birthday this year and I am obsessed with it. The regular bucket bag is significantly bigger and comes with a small pouch as well, but I personally didn’t want a huge bag to carry around on a daily basis. I did try on the mini mini bucket bag and yes my Iphone 6s Plus fit inside the bag, but not much else did. I personally would get my Mom the bucket bag, but in black with silver interior or the navy. This bag is so elegant and yes because of the kind of leather it does get scratched up easily, but honestly all bags get marks on them eventually over time. Just as long as you take care of your bag and put it away properly you won’t have any problems. I am stickler for putting my bags back in their purse bags they come in and I would especially do it for this bag as well so it doesn’t get any additional scratches in your closet. If you don’t think your Mom would like the bucket bag another popular style that has been seen multiple times on Gigi Hadid is the Lady Bag. It comes with a long strap which is nice if you want to wear it cross-body while walking. Check out their website now and order before it’s too late! They also are carried on other retail website and in some select stores. <3

Steals & Deals: Zara Mid Season Sale

March 17, 2017

Happy Friday! I was up late last night watching the Arizona Wildcats beat North Dakota to advance in the March Madness tournament. I recently purchased an amazing pair of jeans from Zara, but not having purchased their jeans before I ordered two sizes. I went into the store today to return the pair that didn’t fit and walked into a big surprise. Right now at Zara is their mid season sale! Now Zara is already a great fast fashion brand because they are in my opinion great quality clothing for the price, but with the sale some of their best items are so inexpensive it’s like they are giving it away. If you can’t get to a Zara store I suggest you head online right now before some of your favorite items are gone. Some of my favorite going out tops this fall / winter were from Zara and for us living in the northeast it clearly still is winter here even though it is March…. Head on over now and check it out! Hope everyone has a great St. Patrick’s day! Hopefully I don’t get pinched for not wearing green 🙂 <3

All Black Outfits Accepted <3

February 6, 2017

Happy Monday! Hope everyone is having a great day so far and recovering from the Super Bowl madness yesterday! I still can’t believe what happened. If you didn’t watch the game spoiler alert the Patriots won. I would like to mention that the Miami Dolphins are still the only team to go an entire season undefeated and that includes winning the Super Bowl that year :-). Just saying.. Anyways recently I have noticed more so than not especially during the winter I stick to my basic outfits. However, I was always curious if people thought that because I was normally wearing all black that there was something wrong with me. I am here to tell you that it is perfectly normal to wear all black. My best friend Tess whenever I ask her what she is wearing she says I am wearing some black on some black on some black you know the usual. I personally think if you are concerned that you are always wearing all black all the time then switch up some of the pieces to be different textures. For example in the image today I am wearing black jeans and then a black top underneath then a black leather jacket. The leather jacket made my look different and changed up me constantly just wearing solid black. I have also worn black suede pants with a black top and no one noticed that I was wearing all black, but they did notice my suede pants. Do you think that it’s acceptable to wear all black all the time? Comment below and let me know what you think. <3

Steals & Deals: The Over The Knee Heeled Boot

February 3, 2017

Happy Friday! For today’s Steals & Deals I want to discuss one of the hottest trends this season…the over the knee boot. We have seen everyone wear them from the Hadid sisters to almost every fashion blogger out there. I was lucky enough to get a pair of the Stuart Weitzman Highland boots in black suede for my birthday, but not everyone wants to spend that much on a pair of shoes. I have found some other options for all of you that give you the same look, but at a fraction of the cost. These boots from Steve Madden almost look identical to mine and are only $129! Even better they also have a pair in two neutral colors for only $99!!!! Snag those babies while you can at that unbeatable price. Nordstrom right now has an amazing selection of over the knee heeled boots under $200. Now just because these shoes are under $200 doesn’t mean you shouldn’t weatherproof them. I have learned that even if you waterproof your shoes the one thing that will destroy them is the salt that everyone puts on the sidewalks to melt the snow. So if you get that on your new boots that are weather proofed just take a towel or napkin and wipe off the salt. If you do that within 12 hours you should be good to go.  If you are still in the market for a pair it is not too late to get yourself a pair. Head on over now before they all disappear.

Steals & Deals – New Year’s Eve Outfit

December 30, 2016

Happy final Friday of 2016!!! I got up today really early to go to the final day of Carnegie Deli in New York City. Only waited a little over an hour to get seated, but it was well worth the wait. After leaving Carnegie my brother and I walked off our meal and if you haven’t found your New  Year’s Eve outfit do not worry. We passed by Zara, H & M, Club Monaco and even Bloomingdales and there are so many good sales going on. A lot of the items may be items that customers returned from the holidays, but their loss is your gain! I personally bought on cyber Monday my outfit from Bloomingdales and when I went in their store they had similar options for a fraction of the price. One of the major trends that everyone wears for New Year’s Eve is anything metallic or sequins. However, this year a major trend that we saw this season is now something that I know I will see everyone wear New Years including myself…VELVET! I personally always buy something for New Year’s Eve that I know I could wear again for a different occasion. If you are going to buy sequins or any metallic stick to the metallics colors of silver, gold, chrome or even rose gold. These are colors you can wear to a cocktail or black tie wedding or even just a fancy party. You never know! If you are shopping velvet I personally got a velvet outfit for New Years that is a burgundy color and I am obsessed with it!!! If you are buying velvet I say the only color I would avoid are lighter velvet colors. The lighter velvet color outfits tend to show lint and dirt faster. I hope everyone is all ready for New Year’s Eve tomorrow I know that Stella and I are. Happy Friday!!!

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
