NYFW Ready…

February 13, 2015

Leave a comment

With NYFW quickly approaching I teamed up with smartwater to share my NYFW prep guide / a little outfit inspiration for the big week in NYC! Fashion Week is a stressful yet exciting time for every blogger…shows to see, parties to attend and outfits to shoot…so I tend to A) Keep my looks simple enough to transition from day to night + B) Stay hydrated and ready to go with smartwater, the official hydrator of NYFW (no matter where I go I always have my bottle handy).

*This story is brought to you by vapor-distilled smartwater, who found unique inspiration for their water by looking up to the sky. We hope the new perspective this piece offers will help inspire you.

My NYFW style always incorporates a killer pair of heels, an easy go to bag and a crisp blazer that pulls the look together. What inspires my look? Easy, simple, chic, classic pieces. Pieces that can be worn season to season, can transition well for any occasion and are pieces that are flattering on every figure. While I am never one to shy away from color during February NYFW I tend to keep my winter neutrals paired with a little pop (my pop being white). Since NYFW is such a hectic time I prep the best way I know how…with a little rest, relaxation and of course a vacation! Last week I headed on a pre-fashion week trip to Orlando Florida (where I shot these photos…hence the lack of snow covering the ground and the ability to wear white pumps). I spent the weekend at Disney World and every hour on the hour I was guzzling another bottle of smartwater to stay hydrated as I was running around…which in a way reminded me of running from show to show, party to event all week long during fashion week. My takeaway? Stay HYDRATED (trust me it’s much needed).Although I am always carrying a ton while attending the shows, my Rebecca Minkoff Affair Bag has been my go to for the past few seasons. It fits all my essentials: camera, iPhone charger, sunglasses, water bottle, makeup and more. Not too big, not too small…just right 😉 I wish fashion week was in a warmer climate this season but what can you do…it gives me an excuse to wear vegan leather leggings like these ones from Lysse that not only keep me warm, but they are as stylish and as chic as could be.

My Night With Andy…

November 12, 2014

2 Comments

So about last night…I had a special night with Andy…Andy Cohen that is 😉 What…you didn’t think I was getting dirty with you guys did you?! haha Last night the fabulous Andy Cohen stopped by my home town on Long Island for the first stop on his book tour for his latest book ‘The Andy Cohen Diaries‘, a hilarious book chronicling the day to day life of the mastermind behind the Real Housewives franchise and my favorite late night talk show, Watch What Happens Live.I have been an Andy lover for years…like I probably say ‘Mazel’ a million times a day and obsess over Housewives more than any other ‘celebrity’ on the planet. As always, Andy was hilarious, but some of my favorite quotes? Read them below:

(In reference to the similarities between Howard Stern and himself) –

“I feel my show and Howard’s show are very similar in certain ways…Howard Stern has his ‘Wack Pack’ that often call in or guest star on his show and the ‘Housewives’ in a way are my Wack Pack…without either of them, our show’s wouldn’t be fully complete.’

(In reference to a possibility of Housewives Of Long Island) –

“Well there is nothing in the works yet, the NY housewives often come out to Long Island but hey I love a Long Island lady.” Thanks Andy…us Long Island ladies love you too <3

(In reference to his work ethic and lack of sleep) –

“As I mention in my book, my day to day life is hectic and rarely do I get enough sleep or sleep period but hey I didn’t move to New York city to sleep.” My thoughts exactly Andy 😉

(In reference to whom out of his female friends he would date if he was straight & his thoughts on his friendship with this lady) –

“I would have to go with SJ (Sarah Jessica Parker)…being friends with SJ is like being friends with the Empire State Building…she is just a beam of glitz and glamour.” A photo of Andy and I from his appearance…yes I am beyond upset it came out blurry thanks to the staff at the book store…who would have thought taking a photo with an iPhone is so difficult…this just solidified my case for dragging my brother aka my photographer along to all my events with me 😉 Anywho, hearing Andy speak was all worth it <3 PS Caravelle New York helped me get Andy Cohen ready with this fabulous chocolate wrap watch they sent me yesterday and you can shop it here.| Click To Shop |

Weekend Adventures…

September 30, 2014

Happy Tuesday Loves! May be a day late to share about my weekend adventure but hey better late than never right? On Sunday I headed to the Bronx with my dad to attend the Orchard Beach Car Show…he has a 1972 Chevelle SS with a 454 (if you are a car person or know a car person the response usually is along the lines of…big block or sweet car). I snapped photos , walked by the beach and unfortunately got a little sick from the heat…never a dull moment with me…trust me hahaThis is my dad’s beauty…his pride and joy and a classic piece of All American Muscle. This was the first show he ever entered and he most likely won. Unfortunately due to us leaving early because I got sick, we didn’t get to catch the award ceremony…but if you ask me he wins the trophy for dad of the year after trying to make me feel better…daddy’s girl forever and ever!On a brighter note, I saw some sick cars…all shapes, sizes, colors, models and ever car had it’s own little story…in a way cars for men are like fashion for women…they share a little about who they are and where they have been in their lives. Every time I buy a handbag I equate it to my dad fixing up his car…it’s something I love and something he loves…only difference? His love is an investment that increases in value…mine..just decreases my bank account haha! And then we spotted this little memo around the gas cap…like I said every guy’s car sends a message 😉Good Ole’ General Lee from the Dukes Of Hazzard! Hop in ya’ll! Spotted this little memo on a decked out hearse…the message speaks for itself. I have plenty of experience with this, not that I’m proud of it but let’s just say texting and driving…never a good idea even if you don’t harm yourself or someone else, the law will catch up with you…got to sit through some more defensive driving classes for that one! After checking out some cars, we walked over to the beach where my dad got back to his roots of A) Playing photographer for my blog and B) Seeing the beach he used to go to as a child (my dad was born and raised in the Bronx till he was a teenager). All in all it was a fun Sunday…summer weather, laid back vibes and the sound of engines raring to go…what more can a gal ask for? 🙂

A Visit To Kendra Scott…

September 16, 2014

12 Comments

Happy Tuesday Loves! As you know, I have a slight obsession with bright ‘pops of color’, so it appears that in terms of jewelry, I have met my match…Kendra Scott! After seeing their fabulous set up and scoring this gorgeous druszy ring at the Reward Style party, I decided to stop by their showroom to check out all they have to offer!

Below each photo are the products…click each direct to purchase 🙂

I’m loving all the fab druszy jewels they have! They are so unique and if you ask me are a little ‘edgy’!

Their gold cuffs are great for fall…wear one to make a statement at the office!

Kendra Scott isn’t just known for great jewels, but also for their jewelry / cosmetic / travel pouches as well. The zipper is 14k plated gold and they are the cutest accessory!

I LOVE the Kendra Scott delicate bangles and rings for Spring 2015! You can stack them or wear them alone. Easy, chic and a hint of color…what else does a gal need? The pieces below are similar and currently available.

This is their winter collection / 70’s inspired disco vibe collection. The purple earrings in the middle kind of remind me of a disco ball!

I am obsessed with their ‘sea foam’ green pieces…aren’t they amazing?!

Last but not least, you can’t forget Kendra Scott’s signature ‘Skylar‘ earring, their signature ‘Danielle‘ earring and their signature ‘Alexandra‘ earring…both make amazing statements and celebrities have been swooning over them…I mean can you blame them?!

While all the jewels were exciting, I must say one of my favorite parts of visiting the Kendra Scott showroom was the lovely reps from the company…they truly have that southern charm (the company originates from Austin, Texas). They truly love the product and the fact that Kendra is an independent business woman who just came up with this massive idea is inspiring!
