What I Wore: Night Time During the Day

By 9 Comments

So I’ve had this Bisou Bisou dress/tunic for months now and I was tired of seeing it in my closet. I just decided to put it on one day and go about my business. This is definitely a dress you would wear if you are going to a party, lounge, or a date. I was going to none of the above lol.

I love the texture of the dress. It gives the illusion of waves.

I paired the dress with large silver hoops and my signature silver necklace. On my feet, my favorite black booties which are BCBGeneration.

What I Wore: Christmas Day

By 2 Comments

I hope all of you had a great Christmas! I enjoyed the time spent with my family. This year we did something a little different. Instead of our usual Secret Santa game, we decided to donate the money we would spend on a gift to a charity. This year we chose St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. It is such a great feeling to give to those who truly need. We also played a w game that is new to me called the white elephant (click the link for directions because it is too much to explain lol). We definitely had a lot of fun Sunday night. My niece said this was fun I can’t wait until next Christmas lol. Kids are too cute.

Ok so let’s get to business. I was really indecisive about what to wear. I had about four different looks planned in my head but nothing came together, so I just ended up wearing a dress that I recently purchased from searsStyle (check the post).

I paired it with a pair of color-block heels from Material Girl because my dress has hues of blue throughout the design. It was an unusual match, but I think it came together pretty well.

I paired it with a blazer from Charlotte Russe and jewelry from a random store in the Jewelry District. I wore my favorite tights, Hanes Silk Reflections Black Out Opaque tights that I received from Kitty Bradshaw’s Meet N’ Tweet.

I created this photo with this app on my iphone. I’m addicted! lol

Here is a close up of my shoes

Here is a pic of my siblings and niece

I so want to steal my sister’s stockings! I would wear my niece’s skirt too, I was able to fit it lol (sad I know, but I love sequins). I love shawl collar sweaters and my bro got a little fancy with the canvas closure.

I also promised you all a snapshot of my holiday mani. Well here it is

It is pretty simple. I used red Zoya nail polish on all fingers except my pinky, which I chose to paint a silver glitter. As for the designs, very simple- white, sliver, green, and gold stripes (Christmas colors) and white and silver stars.

Well that’s it for me folks! What inspired your look this Christmas?

What I Wore: Splurge vs. Steal with searsStyle!

By 1 Comment

So I had an opportunity to be a trendsetter for searsStyle! For this opportunity I was able to shop various collections like Bongo, Apostrophe, UK Style by French Connection, and the Kardashian Kollection. So I went to my local mall and hit up sears and they were having an awesome sale so I managed to get some great pieces!

Before I went shopping I had to of course survey my closet (didn’t want to buy what I didn’t need) and also think about some of my favorite celebs rocking the hottest trends. So my first thought was either animal print or faux fur. And guess what?? I was able to get the best of both worlds.

Beyonce, Rachel Zoe, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and a host of other celebs have all been splurging when it comes to fur. Even some faux fur vests can cost about $300 so I was happy to find this amazing  faux fur vest from UK Style by French Connection.

Both the vest and skinny jeans are from UK Style by French Connection. The vest was originally $72 but it was on sale for for $36! Tell me that isn’t amazing! I love the wash of the jeans and the zipper detail on the ankle. These are my ideal skinny jeans! The jeans were originally $48 but I got them for $19.

I already own a brown fur vest, so I was looking for something in grey or black. It is so chic. I got tons of compliments when I wore this look.Here are closeups of the items

I love how the pink pops against the black and dark wash denim. This look is perfect for hanging out on the  town with the girls.

I also purchased a printed dress from Apostrophe and a sequins vest from Attention.

The dress looks very conservative but it is definitely BODY HUGGING. I mean I was like wait, when did I get those curves lol. The vest is perfect to glam up any outfit. I would wear it with a simple top and some skinny pants with killer heels.

So when it comes to searsSTYLE they definitely have the hottest items at even hotter prices.

So if you follow me on Twitter you would have seen a few of my Instagram updates from my test photoshoot this weekend. I had a lot of fun and look forward to more shoots. Usually Rob and I would go to brunch on Sundays, we haven’t in a while but we did manage to have a LATE brunch with unlimited mimosas. We got to El Pollito Mexicano around 3:30 and brunch was over at 4 so we just made the cut off point. Anyway check out what I wore.

What I Wore

I love the black and white shot and my hair is growing back so beautifully! I am super excited.

  • Watch New York and Company
  • Wedges random boutique in Brooklyn
  • Necklace Jewelry District near Herald Square

What I Wore: Denim, Denim, Denim…shorts that is

By Leave a Comment

So after a STRESSFUL Friday and Saturday (I’ll leave my work problems alone) I decided I’d join one of my friends at Brother Jimmy’s for a late birthday celebration. I celebrated my birthday at Brother Jimmy’s this year so I did not hesitate to join the fun. As usual there was a table full of “swamp water” and of course some really amazing barbecue. I had barbecue wings and fries and the wings were AMAZING!! When I say amazing I mean it. They were well seasoned and so juicy. The rub and sauce used made the wings taste like ribs. Since Brother Jimmy’s is a sports bar and is very relaxed I went with a simple look. (Photo taken with phone…sorry)

What I Wore

  • Watch & Black sweatshirt/tunic-not sure what to call it because it can be worn multiple ways N ew York and Co. I also have this top in red. They are so comfortable. You get the feel of a sweatshirt, but it is more stylish.
  • Denim Shorts Levi’s via Macy’s
  • Purple Opaque Tights Xhiliration via Target
  • Black Riding Boots Steve Madden
  • Jewelry Random Jewelry Store in Manhattan

All of my friends thought I was crazy because I had on shorts in December. If this was like 3 years ago I would have never put them on, but I love wearing shorts all year round. Thank God for opaque tights, long coats and riding boots lol. Saturday wasn’t that chilly so I was really comfortable. I did get quite a few stares but I just smiled at everyone lol.

On another note, my hair is growing back beautifully. If you recall, I cut my hair in May because I wanted something different and I loved my little edgy asymmetrical cut, but I miss long hair, so I have embarked on a journey to get back to where my hair was in 2009/2010. Stay tuned for those updates.
