Lemon Lime

March 31, 2014

2 Comments

I’m embracing color in preparation for my trip to California for Lucky Fabb West 2014! This, I believe will be one of the many…and I mean many looks I will be packing for my 4 day trip! I’m already prepping myself for my luggage being overweight at the airport but I’m a firm believer in the fact that you can never be too prepared for what’s to come. I have quite the itinerary planned for my Cali trip, and the right outfit is always essential!

While it’s rainy and dreary in the big apple today, this look can brighten up any day. I’m probably one of the few gals who dares to wear a lime green moto jacket but let me tell ya…it’s head turning 😉 What girl doesn’t like to make a statement! In addition, spicing the look up with white jeans and mirrored sunnies is suiting for a walk down Rodeo Drive don’t ya think?

I got this Karen Kane jacket gifted to me and I love it. It’s unique, different and neon…all of my favorite things wrapped into one stylish look! When I slip it on I feel kind of bad ass…all I’m missing is my bike 😉 Maybe one day right? Anyways, in addition to neon, a fashion item I will always be a fan of is a crisp pair of white jeans. Once you find the right pair that flatters your figure, they are sexy with just about everything and yes, I break fashion rules by wearing white jeans year round…oops!

Fashion is all about breaking the rules and finding your own personal style. You know what flatters your body, you know what works and what doesn’t. I believe that following the trend isn’t always ideal because not every trend works for every girl. I will always love neon while other gals may hate it. I will never rock a crop top because hey I am not a twig, and flared jeans simply don’t look as fabulous on me as they do on Rachel Zoe. Pick and choose wisely…every trend is open to interpretation 🙂

Bye Bye Four Eyes

March 20, 2014

4 Comments

Today is the beginning of the end…kind of contradictory, but what I mean to say is today is the last day I will ever need to wear glasses or contacts because I am undergoing LASIK eye surgery!

I first learned I had to wear glasses because I was near-sighted (meaning I can’t read things 5 feet in front of me, never understood why near-sided means the opposite of how it sounds and vice versa…but that’s another story) when I was in 2nd grade. I was devastated as any child would be when they learned they had to wear the dreaded ‘glasses’. Now while I wasn’t a fan of having to wear them, I was a fan of driving my mother crazy when it came to choosing frames year after year, because as a fashion lover at a young age…I was most certainly not wearing one pair of frames for the rest of my public school career. I went through tons of pairs till I ventured into my Junior/Senior year of high school (I graduated a year early, hence doubling up everything in one year).

I began using contacts and was instantly thrilled and felt like a new person, however wearing them all day from school to work to play, they began to irritate my eyes and make me virtually blind as soon as 10pm rolled around. I dealt with it up till now but finally after tons of encouragement on how life changing the LASIK procedure is, I decided it was about time to ditch the dry eyes and dirty contacts covered in my eye liner and mascara for perfectly clear vision!

I am beyond excited for my procedure today, but at the same time a bit nervous. As with any procedure there’s a slim chance that something can go wrong, so here’s to hoping I don’t end up blind 😉

Wish Me Luck! 🙂

Flower Power!

March 14, 2014

With the weather finally starting to feel like spring, I decided it was about time to start embracing one of my favorite things about my spring wardrobe…flowers! When you think spring you most likely think florals…and in my case neon! I love this look because it is fun, casual and it is the perfect weekend outfit.

This shirt is an oldie but a goodie, scored on clearance at Abercrombie a year ago and to freshen it up I added a white quilted vest from Old Navy. Pair it with some skinny jeans, Steve Madden cognac wedges and a bright neon bag and your ready to take spring head on 😉

I always like to dress in a way that’s fun, easy and flirty…a look almost every fashionista can pull off! Plus, one of the best parts about spring is being able to wear color and brighten up everyone’s day with a little neon. On a side note, I’m super happy it’s Friday, TGIF! I am so ready for a relaxing weekend of boot camp classes, spinning classes (wish me luck it’ll be my first time!) and some blog photos! Hopefully the weather holds up so I can do some more spring outfit posts without totally freezing my butt off! Wish me luck 🙂

Winter White!

February 27, 2014

So it may be a so called fashion ‘faux pas’ to where white in the fall and winter seasons, but as you may know, I have a thing for breaking the rules. Neon in winter, never wearing tights, a faux fur vest in the summer…I tend to wear what I want when I want haha 😉 That’s why I was so excited to wear white jeans in the white snow!

I finally embraced the winter wonderland outside and so did my sister (my photographer) who had a little too much fun writing cute things in the snow during this shoot! I’m wearing these great fitting ‘Rockstar Jeans‘ from Old Navy, fringed Isola wedged boots (scored on sale at 6pm.com), my new GiGi NY hot pink clutch with my initials, an easy chiffon blouse from Old Navy and some C. Wonder and Nordstrom bling…topped off with Urban Outfitters sunnies!

I love this look because it is great for work or play and it is simple and easy. I also love the black and white look with a pop of pink…I love a great ‘Pop Of Color‘ any chance I get! The winter season tends to get me a little down, but a cute outfit can instantly lift my mood and my attitude…snow and cold? No problem…nothing a little fashion and style can’t fix 😉
