Outfit Of The Day!

14 Dec

Hi everyone! Since I’ve started this blog 9 months ago I have gotten hundreds of emails, comments etc. regarding outfit of the day posts and pictures.  A lot of you like how I do not feature outfit of the day posts and that the focus of this blog is NOT ME and tons of pictures of me me me! However many of you have asked to see more pictures of me and would like me to share outfit of the day posts.  Let me just say that I have always intended this blog to be more about YOU than ME but have come to a compromise that I hope most of you will think is fair.  I will start doing OOTD posts but they will be more like outfit of the week posts……I’ll try to do one OOTD post per week so you can get a peek into my closet without it going overboard.

So…..Here it goes…..my second outfit of the day (actually night) post!  (first one was on instagram) I love my cold Cold rainy day gear!

Outfit Details Umbrella: Target    Grey knit capelet: Forever21   A-line black knit tunic sweater: H&M    Black jeans: J brand      Rain boots: Hunter   Knit wellie socks: Hunter   Bag: Marc Jacobs(Bob’s Memphis trip)  Jewelry: black hair tie on my wrist!!! Haha

Fabulous Friday Find (Just 1)

14 Dec

Happy Friday fashionistas!!!! As you know I always include numerous finds in my FFF posts, however once in a while I will only feature 1 item, today is one of those 1 item only days.  My fabulous Friday finds are never over $20 which is great, but once in a while I find something and I think to myself  A. Is this priced correctly? B. this is too good to be true and C. I must tell the world.   This is one of those times people, I was walking around my local Target yesterday and went to the jewelry case like I always do (great finds all the time by the way)and this time I saw a beautiful watch looking back at me… Ivory band with the perfect amount of texture, rose gold face encircled  in sparkles everywhere!!!! It was beautiful and priced at $19.99!!!!!!! and yes it was priced correctly. It can hold its own with any of my fancy shmancy watches anyday!  It looks quite pricey in person!

Available at Target stores for $19.99 and Target online for ONLY $15.99!

Here are some pictures!!!!

Dream Ring….

13 Dec

Let me start by saying this is a “dream” ring……I’ve lusted after this ring for a while now and finally saw it in person…..WOW! Fireworks!  Amazing! Beautiful!  NO I did not buy it, it’s over $6,000 after taxes!  The only rings I own that have that many zeros in the price are on my left ring finger (with the exception of some eternity bands)!  However if I did have an extra $6,000+ bucks lying around to shell out on a “fun” ring, I would snatch this beauty up in a heartbeat!  If you’re looking to really treat yourself and can afford it, this ring is for you! It is so unique, dainty and sparkly!

Leaf ring is available in 18k yellow, white or rose gold encrusted in baguette and round diamonds Anita Ko $5,760.

Let’s get to the pics so we can lust together!

My Favorite Matte Bronzer!

11 Dec

Bronzers are great whether you’re looking to add warmth to your complexion(year round tan without the orange look) or to add depth by contouring.  I am naturally tan so I use bronzers for contouring and personally prefer matte bronzers (as opposed to shimmery).  I have tried many and now I use NYX matte bronzer regularly and for $9 it definitely gives me a lot of bang for my buck.  I found that the NYX matte bronzer blended just as well as high-end bronzers and provided exactly what I was looking for.  It’s similar to Benefit Hoola matte bronzer($28) and MAC Pro long wear bronzer($28) in many ways besides price. This Available in 5 colors….light, medium, deep, dark tan and deep tan so there are options for many skin tones. If you want to try bronzer for the first time or want an affordable alternative in your makeup collection, give this a try. Available at Drug stores, Ulta and NYX.

The Must Have Convertible Bag!

10 Dec

Rebecca Minkoff has long had an amazing accessories collection!  Her Original MAC (morning after clutch) has been a HIT among fashionistas worldwide. The great thing about the bag is that it can be worn three ways…with a single long strap for cross body wear, with the strap doubled for shoulder wear or with the strap removed completely for wear as a clutch.  Soon after the original bag was flying off shelves the designer added a mini size to the collection and New this Fall, Minkoff added her latest installment of the collection, The MAC daddy bag, which is the biggest of all three bags and comes complete with a padded inner pocket to hold an iPad or tablet!  They come in practically every color of the rainbow and the hardware ranges from silver to rose gold to gun-metal and more. These MAC bags in any size are a great addition to any handbag collection!  Available at Zappos and Rebecca Minkoff.

Original MAC ($295) 11″ x 7 1/2 ” x 2″

Mini MAC ($195) 8 1/4″ x 6 1/2 ” x 1 3/4″

MAC Daddy ($350-$495)  13 1/4″ x 10″ x 3″  .
