    A Date Night ‘Must’ – Envelope Clutch

    20140131-103825.jpg

    My Perfect ‘Date Night’ Envelope Clutch from Target!

    While I am a big bag kind of girl (obsessed with my Louis Vuitton NeverFulls), there comes a time when a lady wants to be a little chic and carry a simply yet elegant bag that has just enough room for the ‘basic necessities’…I.E the Envelope Clutch!

    I believe the ‘Envelope Clutch’ is a fashion staple every fashionista should own. It’s simple and chic, perfect for your ID, Credit Card, Lipstick, Mascara and your keys…what else can a girl ask for? Now while I lust after some serious beauties…Prada, Chanel, Gucci, you get the idea, I certainly can’t afford them, so I scored my perfect clutch on clearance at Target months ago! Don’t fret, with the help of Polyvore, I rounded up some of my favorite animal print inspired clutches for the perfect girls night out or date night.

    While envelope clutches are chic no matter what the design, I love a fun animal print to bring out your inner diva! What fashionista doesn’t love a little animal print, come on!

    Here’s my roundup of great animal print clutches that are sure to spice up your night 😉

    Birthday Moment!

    20140203-093453.jpg

    Well in case you din’t know, today is my birthday! Yes people I’m the big 22…getting so old (yea right lol!) While I don’t have some big birthday bash like Howard Stern had planned, (by the way I’m a huge Howard fan, and that Birthday Show was insane)  I am excited to spend a nice night with my boyfriend and have a great dinner followed by a serious chocolate overload because we are heading to Max Brenner in NYC!

    If you haven’t heard of this place google it, I’ve passed it and dreamt of eating there and now is my chance 🙂 yay! They are known for their delicious desserts and gourmet chocolate and you know I’ll be having that as my appetizer, entree and dessert haha!

    Every year on my birthday I like to reflect back on where I am this year. At this time last year I turned 21…I was a senior in college, Free Lancing for Footwear News, single and working like a maniac two part time jobs to be able to afford my 21st birthday bash I was planning. This year: I’m a college graduate, I work full time in NYC doing a job I love and I have a great boyfriend who I love spending my time with…I’d say turning 22 has brought some pretty awesome things to me.

    Naturally, a birthday wouldn’t be a birthday without a cute outfit! Duh! So I’ll be wearing something similar to this look (Stay tuned for pictures from tonight’s outfit & full details on this look!) I found these Michael Kors shoes on clearance at Lord & Taylor and fell in love! Can’t wait to have my Carrie Bradshaw moment tonight in these beauties! 🙂

    Which brings me to the best birthday gift I got from my parents, my own Canon camera perfect for blogging 🙂 Thanks mom and dad! Can’t wait to snap pictures all over the place! Now just to find the perfect camera bag…hmmm always thinking of things to shop for 😉

    A Cozy Cardigan

    20140131-092948.jpg
    The key to surviving winter weather while still looking cute…you guessed it layers! And one of my favorite way to layer is to throw a simple cardigan over almost any look which gives an extra ‘warm and cozy‘ vibe! Although this look may not be suitable for the polar vortex NYC has been experiencing over the past few weeks, on a slightly warmer day with maybe some tights, this look is simply perfect for work or play!

    I also love the nice earth tones I get in this outfit! The navy skirt, olive green top, beige cardigan and taupe booties are great for fall, winter or spring and to add a little extra something, of course a pop of color with my red Rebecca Minkoff bag! It’s simply, comfy and casual and it can be dressed up or down depending on what the day has in store for you!

    I am not wearing this ensemble today, but the day I did wear it, was for a casual Friday at work, because who doesn’t love tees and cardigans on a Friday?! By the way, my entire look (except for my shoes) is from Nordstrom…I’ve officially become addicted to shopping their ‘sale’ section online because with Free Shipping & Free Returns, it’s my version of guilt free shopping 😉

    CK One Color – My Savior

    20140129-084748.jpg

    I’m not afraid to admit it, I’m a girly girl, I love looking good and feeling my best, however one thing I’m not a huge fan of is being outgoing and creative with my makeup. Call me boring, call me plain but my version of awesome makeup? Whatever looks naturally…hides any blemishes and lasts all day…see, I’m so easy to please.

    So I decided to share my ‘Go To’ beauty products that have survived the test of time and have been kept in my makeup rotation despite me constantly trying something different. One of my favorite products that I have grown to love is my CK One Color Pressed Powder sold exclusively at Ulta. Like I mentioned in previous posts (Ulta Holiday Fragrance Guide & Ulta One Stop Beauty Shop) Ulta is one of my favorite places to shop for everything from foundation to hair products to body lotion to anything in between. Why? Because they will literally take ANYTHING back! That means I can buy 20 different shades of foundation, bronzer and eye shadow and give back whatever doesn’t work for me, no problem…now that’s customer service!

    Anyways, back to my beauty haul…So I’m in love with the whole CK One Color line of cosmetics. They are from Calvin Klein and the line is relatively new but according to the gals in Ulta and reviews on line it is a huge hit and I know why. Using the pressed powder foundation cuts down my morning routine and covers up any problem areas leaving you with flawless, smooth looking skin. In addition, it lasts a while…my first one lasted me months.

    You know you love a product when it all of a sudden becomes ‘unavailable’ and then you start to panic…yup, that was me for the past 2 months while Calvin Klein was repacking and redesigning the product. The women in Ulta had me try numerous brands and products, but nothing quite worked for me like this product did….So boy was I relieved when they finally had it in stock last week! (I was so overjoyed I texted my boyfriend saying it was the best day ever..he knew my struggle with makeup although he insists I should where none…that’s men for ya lol ;))

    In addition for having a love affair with the CK One Pressed Powder, I have a deep fondness for the CK One Color Brow Pencil Duo. Sometimes when you use a powder foundation your eyebrows blend in due to powder getting on them as you apply the makeup. This eyebrow duo solves that problem by having a mechanical pencil that helps darken the brows (it comes in 3 shades to match your hair color) and the other side has a gel that goes over them to refine the look. Do this once in the morning and your set for the day.

    Naturally your look isn’t finished without the perfect eyelashes and lips and guess what CK One Color has one of the best nude lipsticks named ‘Naked‘ and a great mascara. Use all these products and you look instantly refreshed while still looking natural as though your not wearing any makeup!

    Best part? They all come at a price that won’t break your wallet and if you don’t like them, no hassle returns at Ulta! What do you have to loose?!

    Shop These Products Below:

    Mascara: $18

    Lipstick: $16

    Eyebrow Duo: $22

    Pressed Powder Foundation: $26

    Bright & Sunny

    20140127-093259.jpg
    For once, the weather in NYC is actually bearable! There’s not a frigid breeze or snow just yet (naturally it’s coming during my after work commute), and that means, maybe, just maybe I can step out of the house without layers of wool, sweaters, leggings and vests. This easy, breezy look isn’t what I’m rocking to work today (a little to casual for a Monday in my opinion lol), but this outfit is a perfect weekend go to and can transition from season to season.

    Yes, usually one wears yellow in the spring or summer but hey why not brighten up your wardrobe year round with a Pop Of Color? In my mind, color is always in style! I love this look because it is cool and casual. A simple white blouse, quilted Old Navy vest, Payless booties, a Coach cross-body bag, my favorite yellow Hue jeggings and a simple pair of shades from Urban Outfitters, what better outfit is there to tackle weekend adventures or errands?!
