My Favorite Winter Boots!

22 Jan

We just returned from our winter vacation in the mountains and I got so many questions about my boots. Not only are they stylish, but they’re really warm! I had always wanted Sorel boots, so last winter I figured it was time to make the purchase for our Aspen trip. They kept our feet warm in single digit temps!!! Nina got the brown color and I got the ivory color which is called “Fawn”. I highly recommend them, especially if you’re considering Uggs. Uggs are cozy and warm, but they don’t have traction for icy conditions. Sorel boots are made for harsh weather.

Teeth whitening at home! (Giveaway)

17 Nov

My smile has always been something I have been proud of. As a kid, I was taken to the dentist regularly and am grateful for being raised with my teeth being a priority. As an adult I continue to visit the dentist regularly and have used at home whitening strips. Whitening strips were the only form of at home teeth whitening that I had ever used until Smile Brilliant reached out to me. I was so eager to try smile Brilliant! The main reason was the custom trays, unlike strips that only whiten the front few teeth, custom trays allow the whitening gel to contact all of your teeth. My only concern was my sensitivity that I’ve experienced before and that was quickly resolved with the Smile Brilliant desensitizing gel that I applied after I whitened. I felt NO sensitivity when I used it- I was pleasantly surprised.

Smile Brilliant has clear instructions and was very user-friendly. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for dentist office results in the comfort of your own home, and for a fraction of the price. I used Smile brilliant every night before bed which made it incredibly easy to squeeze into my busy lifestyle. As far as price goes, In office Dental whitening can cost upwards of $4oo compared to the Smile Brilliant system that is under $150.FullSizeRender (2)

My Bedroom Makeover!

7 Dec

I’ve been wanting a tufted bed for a couple of years now and was unsure if I should just get a headboard or an entire bed frame. After shopping around, I decided to go with the entire bed frame SINCE IT WAS SO AFFORDABLE at Target! Once I purchased the bed frame, I went ahead and got two bedside tables as well. When the beautiful bed arrived and I felt weird just throwing my old mattress on there, soooooo I bought a new mattress and box spring at living Spaces. The new bed pretty much snowballed into practically all new bedroom furniture and accessories…. Once the complete bed was set up the night stands arrived, I needed lamps and cute decor so off I went to Lamps plus, Z Gallerie, Macy’s and Home Goods. Fast forward 2 weeks and my bedroom makeover is complete. I am so happy with it and wanted to share where I purchased everything from since most of them were BARGAINS! Minus the bedding- I went a little “fancy” with the bedding.

Anyhow, let’s get into the good stuff….places to purchase and prices.

   
   
  

   

 TARGET:

Tufted Bed: $400!!!! YES for the entire bed! That is cheaper than most headboards alone. (took 2 hours for 2 people to put together)

Night Stands: $139 each (took 1 hour for 1 person to put together)

LAMPS PLUS:

Lamps: $35 each Yes $70 for 2 gorgeous lamps. I chose 19″ lamps because my bedside tables are tall and I didn’t want the lamps to be taller than the headboard.

HOME GOODS:

Decorative snowflake pillow: $25

Jewelry box: $6

Isaac Mizrahi picture frame: $5

Magnifying Glass: $7

Mrs. & Mrs. Ring dish: $3

Small square vase: $4

MACYS:

CALLING ALL BRIDES TO BE>>>> Wedding season is right around the corner and if you’re a bride to be, you may already know that searching for the right wedding heel can be a daunting task.  I have been asked numerous times about my wedding heels so I thought I’d share them with you and a few more styles that I love- all under $100.  My 4th wedding anniversary is fast approaching and I still remember the last-minute STRESS of finding the right heel.

Nina shoes also come in a variety of colors so they’re perfect for bridesmaids or for the bride looking to wear a pop of color on her special day. Hopefully this post will help you find your perfect heel. Cheers! And congrats on your upcoming nuptials!

Comfortable Lace Up Caged Heels!

31 Jul

Lace up caged heels hit the fashion scene with a BANG last year and the hype hasn’t fizzled out. The sexy style is hotter than ever and every designer has their interpretation of the heel. What I love most about caged heels is that they can be worn with anything from boyfriend jeans to LBDs! A while back, I found a tan pair that are super sexy but they hurt my feet after about 30 minutes( I still wear them of course) BUT I recently found a pair that ARE comfortable! They are available in black, white and blush- I opted for black. I realized that they are so comfortable because the sole is padded and there is a zipper at the heel of the shoe in addition to adjustable laces on the front! With all of this adjusting available, the comfort level is amazing! Yay for cute & comfy!

Shop all three colors below! Let’s be shoe twins!!!!!! The black is still full price $99 but I found the blush and white on sale!
