Did anyone get caught in the random rain that caught us off guard yesterday (ok maybe it didn't take you off guard but the day started out so pretty)? This weather is all about layers or finding the right way to wear fall when it's not to chilly and yet not so warm anymore. I just purchased the grey version of this ruched sweater and I LOVE it. It has a nice look, the perfect neckline and can be dressed up. I too wore a cute scarf and paired it with one of my lariat necklaces; however, this piece from Virgins, Saints and Angels is the perfect compliment. I love how ornate it looks and the line has been one that I have followed over the past few years. A gorgeous necklace deserves to be paired with an awesome ring. I love that this wrapped ring definitely assists you in getting your point across (if you talk with your hands extensively, you'll enjoy this added look) and of course - pair this with jeans. I love my Hudson jeans that are in this dark wash with a faded look. Whether you pair this with heels or ballet flats it has such an easy look that you're always perfectly dressed!
So today, I'm out and about taping my reality show which you will know more about as we get closer to the air date! I'm super excited to be out but it also makes me think about the fact that the more errands you have, the more you have to have comfort! So on days where it's super hot go easy! Less can be a lot more in many cases. This dress is super easy and is one that you'll notice with a great shape and a fab hue. Pair this with one of my favorite shoes (when I'm not wearing heels) these chandelier shoes are a staple at Victoria's Secret and yes they have a version of it in heels - yes I own a pair in that style too! As a side note, they look great with leggings, dresses and yes - jeans. To wrap it up, sometimes it's so hot that you want to pair the accessories down and in this instance, how about a nice ring like this one by Max & Chloe? I love that it's not super matchy matchy since there are various tones of Carnelian! What a great way to look pulled together and ready for whatever the day will bring! Take some time to check out these great pieces and of course snag a little something for yourself!
I live for the simple maxi dress to pair with accessories. Me, the girl who ran from gold has found a happy medium between my sterling silver looks and embracing another look. I've started to truly love that antiqued look of gold. There is something about the aged look that definitely makes me feel that I'm dressed but not too bright with the bold gold that I love on others but not myself (not to say that I don't have a little gold every now and then). Today, I present great ways to enjoy a sunny yellow dress (I live in Victoria's Secret 24/7) and to compliment it with Michael Kors sandals, Alkemie's Sting Ray Cuff and Alexis Bittar's pendant which is a perfect playful mix of hues that go from neutrals to bronze. It's a great way to wear a little bling while looking totally natural! We haven't left the summer yet so make sure you check out these great pieces and mroe!
When I'm not running around the city, I love my weekends when I'm hanging out at our beach house in Long Beach! That means wearing lounging clothes throughout the day (you know that I love Victoria's Secret and their Pink collection and this long tank is perfect), getting some reading done (Julie & Julia looks like such a great movie that I want to read the book first) and to enjoy some amazing beverages. These glasses are from CB2 and are in a set of 6 with these super cute vintage labels! Although it's definitely hot out there, in Long Beach there is always a bit of wind (and I'm always on the balcony) so having a hoodie is an essential for the residents of our beach village - one again, it has to be Pink. So with the weekend around the corner, I think that we all need to find a way to enjoy our days off in the most relaxing way possible!
Oh man! I’m beginning and ending my summer with a bang! We’re kicking it off with a Lobster Broil at the house and we will end the summer with a big bash – my 30th birthday in South Beach at my favorite hotel, Loews! Oh yes this is going to be an amazing summer (I’ll totally bypass the fact that we have had quite a bit of rain). So with that said, how do I dress for a party that’s at home with friends that begins early and goes to the wee hours of the morning? I’m all about the maxi dress – it’s stylish and comfortable and gives you so many possibilities whether you go with bold colors, stripes, etc. I love this dress and it’s available at Victoria’s Secret (another one of my favorites for day wear). With this bold color and simple look, I’m able to add my accessories to really let me stand out as the hostess of the party.
With the high neck, I love a simple choker, such as Christofle's 925 piece available on Vivre, that doesn’t fight with my look and yet doesn’t make my neck look completely naked. I love Max & Chloe's large cuff and this hammered one is perfect to add a bit of the earthy vibe and of course the ring – you know I love a pop of color! Elizabeth Ngo's Large Ornate Victorian Glass Ring in Turquoise adds a mixture of various eras from Victorian, Grecian, etc.The maxi is the way to go and you can find one that’s perfect for you in various price points. A lobster broil in Long Island and the love of the beach, this is a great way for me to show all of that with this simple look!
On average, I hit the gym 3 – 4 days a week at about an hour and a half to two hours! It’s generally later in the evening so I can watch my guilty pleasures (reality tv) while letting off some steam at whatever NYSC that I happen to be close to at the moment. Just like I pick what I wear when I’m out and about, I’m all about comfort and style for the gym as well. I have quite a few outfits and interestingly enough, I tend to dress in yoga style whether I’m doing pilates or are on machines! Today is a great assortment of items that are perfect for the gym. My favorite piece, Spibelt’s Spiband which allows me to hold my iPod and my keys within the little case (I can even get my lipgloss in here) and it fits on my arm. They also have one for the waist as well so click on the link above to find out more!
I also believe in a good bag and this one, by Athleta, is perfect for me to bring all my necessities while having a separate place for my mat. A water bottle is a must and as much as possible, I believe that having something that you can use again is better than a disposable one – so check out Smallflower as they have quite an extensive collection. When it comes to shoes there are so many options but I love that these sneakers pick up the flair of the overall outfit that is available at Victoria’s Secret (one of my favorite places as well). Whatever you do keep it functional, comfortable and add your own personal style!
You guys, it's snowing outside! The weather is crazy and if you're in NYC, it's supposed to be sunny and in the 60's! With all the back and forth that's going on, I seriously need to get to the summer. Since we still have a few weeks of inconsistency to go through, I'll just dreams of shorts, capris and super cute rompers! My favorite look is the Larsen Gray Belted Romper - the turquoise color is amazing and of course, you can never go wrong with a few items from Victoria's Secret as well.
I love picking bathing suits - but more than that, I love cover-ups. These should not be seen as an after thought but as something that is essential. I love that these are needed when you come off from the beach to get back to your hotel room, popping into the bar or more. These are some great looks to jazz up your suit and to look amazing as you pair this with your sunglasses and large hat! Take some time to check out these great looks! My personal favorite? The Vix draped cover -up is amazing and I love the dress like qualities.
Now when it comes to Victoria's Secret, I have to say that the Pink collection is one of my favorites when it comes to lounge wear. My closet has nothing but the little pup on them (just putting it on lets my body know that I'm in lounge mode)! Pink has had various beauty components but its a recent organic line that I just received that has me excited! I received the Soothing Hand Cream which contains organic oat extract and the Soothing Body Lotion which includes organic shea butter! Obviously this collection has much more from body washes, lip balms, etc. But I love the fact that this is a green collection, natural, organic and 100% vegan! I was very excited to try this out and wasn't disappointed at all. I love the packaging as well as it's very simple and yet iconic with Pink logos on it! No animal testing was done within this collection and being a fan of cocoa butter and grape seed oil, this will become a favorite! I love that when applyting the lotions, its easy to administer and it doesn't leave an annoying greasy film on your skin. Your skin feels protected and it's great knowing that it's environmentally sound! Check out the collection for yourself and this will be heading with me on my vacation within a few weeks!
Now I am a huge fan of Victoria's Secret and Pink. I think it's a lot of fun and it's always a great place to go in terms of convenience but when you're talking about true lingerie I have to give much love to La Perla! But La Perla is much more than just lingerie it's also bathing suits as well. They know how to bring out the sensual and after taking my introduction to S Factor last night, I began thinking of sensuality and luxury in a new way. This Valentine's Day, I am making a pledge that I am going to remember that in the midst of the hustle and bustle that goes on in my day to day life, I will make sure to take out time for me to hear my own inner voice. Of course that will also include buying things that I enjoy wearing and not just items that are "convenient". La Perla is definitely something that I want to incorporate into my wardrobe and I may get a bathing suit to bask on the sands of the Dominican Republic next month. So for those of you that have half days and want to take a little stroll, head down to Soho to pick up a little something that will kick off your Valentine's Day and beyond (of course, even visiting their website transports you to another state of mind).
We love hearing from you! Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
