Fashionable Fridays: Win It ~ Chic & Layered

This winter season can be a challenge from surprisingly warm days to down right chilling to the bone temperatures! How do you dress for something like this? It's all about layers and great pops of color. I love a neutral palette and believe in mixing white, black and grey together. The versatility of this look allows you to go all over and throughout your day without wondering if you're appropriately dressed no matter the impromptu situation.

I love a great pair of skinny jeans and this pair from Paige Denim and add a fab white tank that can be dressed up and down by Rag and Bone is a fab look. Complete the look with a great rolled cardigan in grey from Ralph Lauren Blue Label. A fab pair of ankle boots add a nice touch to the look by Saint Laurent.

Of course, I'm all about accessorizing and love adding in fab embellishments to jazz up this look. All of these pieces have notes of silver, Mother of Pearl and quartz. Although I'm not a watch person, I do like this Michael Kors timepiece. Layer on a Chan Luu bracelet that adds in another subtle hue. I love this Mother of Pearl necklace which has a great depth of texture as a way to bring in an old world charm as well as being very modern. Finally, I love this quartz and diamond ring by Sandra Dini.

Finally, it's all about the bag - with this winter season that will soon transition into Spring, you have to have a pop of color and you know that I'm a huge fan of Linea Pelle as I love their rich leather, fab embellishments and amazing colors. This Dylan Medium Tote is a lovely yellow and I have been carrying this body style in the fall. I love that you can fit so much in here (many times I have my laptop in my bag and all of my tech goodies)! So kicking off today, you have the chance to win this fabulous bag and a winner will be announced on Feb 7th (the first day of NYFW) so that you can begin building your closet on the way to great style!

Win this great bag by visiting Linea Pelle and making sure that you sign up for their newsletter. Next follow and tweet @KittenLounge and @LineaPelle telling us what fabulous color you are looking forward to adding into your wardrobe this season and include the hashtag #LPKLSpring2013. A winner will randomly be selected!

Our win it has ended, congrats to @Objets for winning a fab tote from @LineaPelle!

Trendy Thursdays ~ Work it Out This Sat!

This Sat is a huge night DJ Eloy will be in Long Island doing what he does best - mixing video and music! Come to the Shore Club, info is on the invite. Make sure you leave your names here so that you can be on the guestlist. Loving that it's open bar until midnight so if you're in Island Park (this is one stop away from Long Beach) come out to see him perform. He's going to be super busy as his tour starts up and I may not see him again until Nov in Japan when a large group of us will be out there. If you've yet to go to his shows, you need to see how he gets the crowd moving and how passionate he is! The Shore Club is a fun venue and with amazing weather, why not take some time out? Hit the beach and then we'll club it up - dancing is the best exercise and the healthy glow you get is fab for the complexion tooD! Check out more about DJ Eloy here!

Fashionable Fridays ~ Just in Time for the Fall

Voyantmini Earlier this summer, I had the opportunity to meet with innovative creator, Rob Black of Voyant Chai an amazingly fragrant and light tasting Chai Cream Liqueur. Visit the website to see an image of this bottle. This artistic bottle is painted and has the vibrant orange hues that are in keeping with their logo. Just like the name suggests, Chai is the dominate flavor that is infused within this drink; however, there are other flavors that support this rich spice - clover, nutmeg, black tea, oak aged rum. This is the world's first Chai Cream Liqueur.

This beverage was amazing during the summer months poured over ice. A very simple way of enjoying the drink while also being able to taste each element that gives this drink its full bodied taste. As we shift into the fall; however, you'll enjoy the possibilities that come along with this drink that is also perfect for this season and the holidays. I can't wait to taste it with a cider or to have it in my lattes. Not only does this drink mix well for drinking; however, there are a variety of recipes that make it perfect for cooking as well. With one taste of this drink, you'll enjoy making this a staple within liqueurs that are always on hand. Visit Voyant Chai and learn more about the beverage and find where they are available so that you can taste for yourself.
