White Chucks! Must Have Summer Sneakers!
27 MaySummer is fast approaching and every girl needs a fresh pair of sneakers to lounge around in comfortably, while staying oh so chic of course! White Converse Chuck Taylors, also known as Chucks are the perfect casual chic sneaker for Summer! They go with everything-I wear mine with dresses, shorts and pants etc! Chucks are also reasonably priced and can be thrown in the washer if they get dirty! Go for it- jump on the chuck wagon! You won’t be sorry!
Converse Chuck Taylor Optic White $45
Converse Chuck Taylor in French Vanilla $45 ( I opted for the french vanilla because it complimented my skin tone)
Me, rockin’ the white Chucks!

26 MayHappy Memorial Day!!!! If you are reading this and live in the States, I hope you had an awesome 3 day weekend. I know most of you are busy at barbecues and hanging out with family and friends, but I feel it’s my duty to remind you about the Nordstrom half-yearly sale!!!!!! It is going on NOW and you need to get involved. There are so many great deals on everything for women and kids!
Go to Nordstrom.com and treat yourself to everything from dresses to shoes to accessories!!!!!
Perfect Year Round Crossbody Bag!
19 MayI’m so excited to have received my very first Vince Camuto handbag and will be wearing it all year round. This gorgeous bag comes in a variety of colors, but I opted for black and white. I absolutely love black and white anything and this bag can be worn with burgundy in the Fall and peach in the Spring. Black and white is complimentary to most colors. The great thing about Vince Camuto bags is that they are beautifully designed( they are reminiscent of Reed Krakoff bags) are very well constructed. in fact, they are so well made that I was shocked at how reasonably priced these bags are- I mean they are not $40 bags, but they are also not unattainable like many designer bags are unfortunately. If you’re on a budget, this bag is worth saving for, but you won’t have to save long! Check out the bag below, I hope you love it as much as I do 🙂

Spring Shoes: Two Styles You Need Now!
17 MaySpring has definitely sprung and warmer weather and active days call for comfortable yet super cute shoes to wear.

They both look great thrown on with jeans, dresses, skirts and shorts and they can be dressed up or down and can be worn all day long. Shop my favorite styles below.

OOTD Starring My Favorite New Clutch!
15 MayHi y’all this is not my typical outfit of the day post, it’s pretty much all about my favorite new clutch. I’ve been getting a lot of questions and comments on this particular outfit and clutch so I thought I’d tackle then all right here right now. This gorgeous dress is from the Webster Miami/ Target collaboration a couple of years ago. The print is magical and the dress is very flattering on. The dress sold out pretty quickly although you may be able to find it on EBay. My favorite nude sandals were $7.99 at Forever 21 last year and my pretty pastel bracelets are from H&M- also last year! My coordinates collection bracelet IS currently available as well as my Gigi New York Coral clutch, my dainty Catbird diamond ring and my mint sunglasses ! Links listed below.
It’s no surprise that I live for the high- low mix and love wearing my high-end jewelry, bags and clothes with my low-end stuff! I feel like the best looks include pieces at all price points. So if you’re on a budget have no fear, you must remember that money can’t buy style, and if you’re a label snob, remember you’re missing out on so much cute stuff if you don’t give it a chance based on price. I can’t stress enough that when you properly execute your high low mix, most people think it’s ALL high-end anyway!!!!! Cheers to stepping outside of your fashion box and jumping aboard the high- low mix train!!! CHOOOO CHOOOO!

I’ve Found My Dream Pen!
7 MayAttention sparkle loving girly girls! I have recently discovered the cutest pen ever! And by cute I mean that it’s super sparkly without being tacky- yes there is such a thing. This pretty pen is made with 160 sparkly Swarovski crystals (the pictures don’t do it justice). The ink can be replaced when it runs out
and they come in a variety of colors and include a velvet storage pouch, making it a great gift idea. I chose the “pearl white” which is actually a silvery white color that’s quite pretty and the swarovski crystals inside are SUPER sparkly!!!! I love it! These pens are available at Swarovski locations or by clicking the links below.
There is also a cool set that includes one pen and one mechanical pencil. $80
Met Gala 2014: Best Dressed!
5 MayThe fashion party of the year, also known as the Costume Institute Gala aka The Met Ball for short did not disappoint. The red carpet was full of fabulous fashion moments. I loved so many of the looks and narrowed it down to my favorite 7! So Let’s get to it!
Leighton Meester in Emilio Pucci- I like the drop waist and overall flow of this gown and the detail is amazing.
Beyonce Knowles in Givenchy- The caged head-piece did it for me.
Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Balmain- I love anything Balmain, but I also love how Rosie went against the grain with her choice of dress.(and those shoes!!!!!)
Gabrielle Union in Prada- This two piece feathered ensemble is really cool.
Kim Kardashian in Lanvin- I am a sucker for a dress with pockets and loved the color as well. I was drawn to the belt and matching cuffs she originally wore and was surprised she removed them for the red carpet. I like how it brought some edge to the dress.
(with the cuffs and without pictured below) note: she also changed her shoes
Runner up for BEST DRESSED
Blake Lively in a shimmering Gucci number- such a pretty champagne hue and so beautifully tailored! Ryan seems to like it too;)
The BEST DRESSED Winner!!!!!!!
Suki Waterhouse in a show stopping blush Burberry gown- Her updo along with bold lips and bare neck made for the perfect balance! I absolutely love her look! Simply STUNNING!

Perfect Summer Palettes!
3 MayEvery year Spring/Summer rolls around, I get so excited to use my bolder and brighter lip colors, eyeshadows and blushes! There is no better time to incorporate beautiful color into your makeup routine. This Spring/Summer Lorac released 2 great colorful palettes that are sleek and perfect for travel as well as reasonably priced at $24. Both palettes feature 10 shimmer and matte shadows which include 2 oversized neutral shades allowing countless color combinations. The palettes are quite similar, so if you can only afford one, don’t worry! One palette (After Glo)does feature some brighter colors than the other palette (Summer Glo) which you will see in the pictures below! It is just a matter of taste and whether you want to remain more on the “neutral/colorful” side or the ‘bright/colorful” side. Either way, these palettes are PERFECT for summertime and are So pretty!
Lorac Summer Glo palette $24 This palette is colorful, but includes slightly more subtle colors.
Lorac After Glo palette $24 this palette has more “BAM” to it, slightly brighter, bold colors.
