    Mother’s Day Gift Guide…

    This Sunday May 11th is Mother’s Day 2014!

Don’t they deserve nothing less? 😉

    Chambray On My Mind

    20140305-143449.jpg

    Now yes ladies, I’m totally going to admit, while this outfit is super cute and comfortable…I’m definitely not rocking it today as my ‘OOTD’…it’s in the teens in NYC! Can spring please come already?!

    A fashion trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon is chambray. What I love about this shirt and chambray in general is that it can be dressed up or down. For a casual weekend look, pair this chambray top with leggings and some boots or even Converse. For a dressed up look, just use my outfit as inspiration! I have a thing for skirts (what girl doesn’t like to show a little leg 😉 ), in addition I have a thing for mixing and matching different materials. This printed skirt may have a different shade of blue than the chambray top, but I am a firm believer that fashion and personal style is about wearing what works for you!

    I scored this top at Nordstrom Rack…safe to say it may not be there now, but check out my shopping list below for a similar top you can score online. The skirt is from Nordstrom, boots from H&M and the bag is Gucci (which I happened to borrow from my mom…why buy my own when my mom has enough style for the both of us 😉 )!

    SJP for Nordstrom Collection

    20140304-100426.jpg

    Over the weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the limited edition Sarah Jessica Parker for Nordstrom pop-up shop in Soho! Safe to say this was the highlight of my weekend and pretty much my life, my little sister and I waited on live for 2 hours to meet Carrie Bradshaw herself and check out her exclusive Nordstrom collaboration in person!

    So like many other girls out there, I aspire to be Carrie Bradshaw…stylish, independent, writing for Vogue with a killer Manhattan apartment and closet…although that may not be my current reality, something Carrie and I have in common is our love for footwear, which I shared with SJP when I finally got to speak to her and told her about how I work in the footwear industry in Manhattan and how my friends and family call me the modern day ‘Carrie Bradshaw’ (I could only hope 😉 )! I even spotted the legendary Andre Leon Talley while waiting on line to get in…fashion heaven!

    Her line for Nordstrom isn’t just shoes, there’s jackets and bags all suiting for the gal on the go who loves to twirl in a tulle skirt or wear a pair of metallic heels with ripped boyfriend jeans…the possibilities are simply endless! I personally purchased the ‘Bobbie‘ in coral which is perfect for spring into summer for work or play. Now don’t get me wrong, while I love the collection, the price tag is a little steep for a fashionista on a budget like myself. Her shoes are being created in Italy by George Malkemus aka Mr. Manolo Blahnik (He is President of the company)! Talk about a winning combination…SJP put Manolo on the map during her ‘Sex and the City‘ days! Does ‘Hello Lover‘ ring a bell? 🙂

    Sarah Jessica herself was a total sweet heart. She took photos with my sister and I and even chatted with us for a few minutes…best few minutes of my life! Safe to say Carrie didn’t disappoint and I will continue to dream of being proposed to with satin blue Manolo Blahnik’s in a custom built walk in closet on the penthouse level of an New York City building…I tend to dream big!

    Winter White!

    20140227-100343.jpg

    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 😉

    SuperBowl Sunday BBM Style!

    20140129-142855.jpg

    Happy SuperBowl Sunday everyone! Now while I am not the biggest sports fan except for the occasional Knicks game I end up watching because of my boyfriend, the SuperBowl is something I think every American watches because come on…do you want to be the only person at work the next day not knowing what funny commercials aired, what wardrobe malfunction happened during half time or how the lights went out in the entire stadium? I didn’t think so…So I will be tuning in for the sole reason of not being asked if I am living under a rock 😛

    As we all know the essential part of any SuperBowl watching experience is amazing snacks, duhh! So what better way to root for your favorite team than with limited edition ‘Denver‘ vs. ‘Seattle‘ minis from Baked By Melissa aka BBM (move over Blackberry, BBM is all about cupcakes for now 😉 )! I love these bite sized sweet treats!

    What do I love most about these little babies? I pay my photographer aka my little sister with them! She doesn’t request cash, she requests I pick her up Baked By Melissa once a week…now that’s what I call a sweet deal!

    If only this Melissa (me lol) could bake…I’d be one lucky lady 😉
