    An MK Moment

    20140123-102638.jpgThe best way to stay cozy & warm during this polar vortex we are having here in NYC is with a heavy, yet chic coat that is sure to keep you snuggled up without giving up on style…This Michael Kors coat is the perfect combination of sexy, chic, warm and cozy…you can’t beat that!

    It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me, that I love to wear pieces that are comfy and cute, this coat with these heeled H&M boots gives me that instant boost of sexy that every gal needs throughout the day. In my mind, all black can be one of the sexiest colors to wear, and this ensemble demonstrates just that.

    A gorgeous jacket, stylish boots and your ready to take on whatever the day or night has to offer. It’s often times hard, in my opinion to feel ‘hot’ in the winter, but in this outfit I feel like I’m ready to take on the world and like I’m about to walk the runway at MBFW…now that’s confidence haha 🙂

    Warm & Fuzzy

    20140121-091442.jpg
    I was so excited to have some ‘warm’ weather the past few days but naturally all good things must come to an end and today, another huge snowstorm heads our way. What does that mean? As my dad said this morning “What does the news always tell you to do when it’s snowing out?” “Dress in layers!” And today’s outfit is exactly that…because as everyone knows…the proper way to stay warm and cozy is with warm layers that you can add on or peel off throughout the day.

    I love this outfit because like some of you have already seen…I’m a bit obsessed with this faux fur vest which is just as warm as it looks. Pair it over a nice top like this one from Lonny’s, add some bling and your ready for a day at the office or a night out. My dark wash skinny jeans are from Abercrombie and are actually thick making them a great pair for the winter.

    Knowing me, I love to add a little ‘Pop Of Color‘ to any outfit, so I decided to introduce these comfy and stylish Calvin Klein burgundy wedged booties that I scored on clearance from Lord & Taylor a month ago. Why do I love these? First off anything with a wedge has a special place in my heart because they add extra height without forgoing on the comfort.

    ‘WorkOut Wednesday’ – TRX

    A group of people doing suspension training at the gym.

    Happy ‘WorkOut Wednesday‘ Loves! It’s my first WorkOut Wednesday post of the New Year and like many of you… yes I cheated a little and fell off the gym wagon around the holidays, but I’m happy to get right back to my workout routine! In this edition of ‘WorkOut Wednesday‘ I’m sharing with you a little piece of gym equipment called the ‘TRX‘.

    The ‘TRX’ helps with suspension training. Basically, the ‘TRX’  gives you the ability to do all the exercises you normally do: squats, rows, bicep curls, pushups, burpees etc…except with an extra with a little extra twist. By suspending the body, the ‘TRX’ makes all these already ‘difficult’ exercises a little tougher by having your body suspended in stir-ups wear your either leaning towards or away from the wall in order to get that extra resistance.

    I personally like the ‘TRX’ for some moves like squats, curls, pushups, planking etc…sometimes however, practice makes perfect and it takes a long time to be able to balance in the ‘TRX’ and do the moves properly at the same time!

    Have you tried the ‘TRX’?

    My Curl Secret

    20131101-075943.jpg
    Now I’ve always wanted to be the girl who wakes up with that perfect ‘Victoria’s Secret’ hair.

    Hair that has body, bounce and soft waves that looks sexy and flawless with any look. Traditionally I’ve had to conquer up the will power to sit for about 45 minutes and curl my whole head of hair with a regular curling iron which always left me with ‘fish tail’ ends and a flopped look in under 2 hours.

    So while I never buy into infomercials, I saw one for Conair’s ‘Curl Secret’ and had no choice but to try it!

    I ordered it from Ulta.com and within a few days the new age of curling irons was plugged in and ready to go.

    It was easy to use, lightweight and curled my whole head of hair in under 30 minutes. Best part? The curls last longer than those of my traditional curling iron.

    Curl Secret allows you to decide how tight or loose the curls will be based on 3 different temperature settings. The contraption takes a piece of your hair, twirls it around the barrel chamber and after 3 beeps, voila! Beautiful curls!

    Sounds too good to be true? Guess you’ll just have to try it out for yourself!

    My One Stop Beauty Shop: Ulta

    20131125-071058.jpg
    Every girl has her go to store for all things beauty. Some gals are devoted Sephora fans others opt to head to Bloomingdales or Saks, however personally, my fav go to beauty store is Ulta.

    It’s the perfect place for a girl on a budget, they always have coupons, sales and free gifts with purchase and what I love most? They have amazing customer service and go above and beyond to accommodate their customers!

    Ulta has all the brands you love: Estée Lauder, Calvin Klein, Bareninerals, Paul Mitchell and more, all at affordable prices and with experts who can match you with the products that suit you best.

    Another thing I truly love about Ulta, their return policy. How many times do you try a new shade of foundation or a certain lipstick and realize it just isn’t for you? What do you do? Eat the cost? Attempt to return it and the store not take it back? Give it to your sister? Well at Ulta they will take anything and I mean anything back if your not happy, even if you lost the receipt and the package is open they will give you a store credit and can even look up the purchase on your credit card or Ulta rewards card which leads me to my next reason on why I love Ulta…the rewards.

    Ulta has one of the best rewards programs around and trust me I looked into Sephora, Bareminerals etc. 4 times a year Ulta sends you a rewards booklet with the level you reached based on your purchases for that particular time frame.

    You can score shampoos, lipsticks, mascara or even a flat iron, blow dryer or curling iron! The rewards never expire, although there is an expiration date the managers always accept them past that date and they will help you find whatever you need.

    If I haven’t convinced you to check out Ulta I’m not quite sure what will, but like I said, you have nothing to loose with their happiness guarantee and their unbeatable prices!

    Shop Ulta

    Ulta also has tons of great specials going on for the Holidays! Whether your shopping for yourself, a teenager, a pre teen or even a man in your life, Ulta has it all at great prices!
