Holiday Party Time With Basic Invite…

November 5, 2017

Leave a comment

Happy Monday ♥ Tis’ the season to be festive!

Time flies by so fast when it comes to the fall + the holiday season. Crazy to think Thanksgiving is just weeks away, followed by Black Friday shopping + prepping for holiday parties and gatherings! One of the most stressful parts of the holiday season is planning holiday parties. Whether it is an office party, a family gathering or a larger event, there is so much to do + so little time. Luckily, I am teaming up with BasicInvite.com today to share how easy it is the create custom holiday party invitations + photo cards with just a few simple clicks!

When it comes to throwing a great party, the invitation is pretty much the first impression of what is to come…the pressure is on, and what better way to do that than creating a custom theme or design that suits your style while having over 180 different colors to choose from along with various envelope designs + foil accents to add a little glitz + glam!

What I love about Basic Invite is that the site is easy to navigate + there is just so much room for creativity. With over 250 Christmas card and holiday card designs, you are bound to find something personal to you that will stand out amongst the typical store bought cards shared throughout the season.

Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers the ability to order a printed sample of their actual invitation so they can see exactly how it will print + feel (paper quality is key) before they have to place a final order. Now this is something I think is genius, nothing is worse than ordering something online (especially a bulk order of custom invitations or cards) + them not coming out as expected. By being able to order a sample, it makes the process seamless + guarantees satisfaction so every order is a happy order…one less thing to worry about this holiday season 😉

While I will be in London this holiday season, I am tempted to order holiday cards just because they are so pretty! From the chic fonts, to the creative details, Basic Invite has everything you need for spreading joy this season.

As if the amazing cards aren’t enough, Basic Invite also has an address capturing service which allows customers to simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social platform to request their friends and family’s addresses which will be stored in the customer’s account + can then be selected during the design process so each individual card + envelope is customized. Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no extra cost on all Christmas card orders! Woohoo! (The less I have to handwrite the better hehe…I have the sloppiest handwriting ever :p)

Whether you want to create personalized photo cards, custom holiday party invitations or simply spread holiday cheer, BasicInvite.com has got you covered!

P.S. Basic Invite is offering 30% off with coupon code: holi30

HOLIDAY MAKEUP READY WITH NEUTROGENA…

Pucker Up Buttercup! Time to put your best face forward this holiday season with Neutrogena! Holiday parties are around the corner (heck some are this week), so we all know what that means…time to get your Holiday makeup on point so you can shine like the star on the top of the Christmas tree 😉 (like what I did there hehe :p)

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is the fact that I can get dressed up for all of these different festive gatherings! Whether it’s a work party, a family get-together or a gift exchange with your friends, makeup really pulls your holiday look together. I have always been a fan of mixing high end with low end (price wise) when it comes to fashion, so it comes as no surprise that I would do the same when it comes to beauty. Neutrogena has been my go to brand for lip products for years now, so when I got to test out the new Neutrogena® MoistureSmooth Color Stick + Neutrogena® Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes from Walmart, I was BEYOND excited!

Walmart is always one of my first stops when it comes to snagging the best deals when it comes to beauty. I work late during the week, so I LOVE heading to Walmart during the busy holiday season because they have extended hours which make last minute shopping really convenient.

Their cosmetics aisle is pretty much my favorite place…I can spend a long time in that aisle, let me tell ya :p

I have always loved the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes. After a long day at the office or a night out, nothing feels more refreshing than wiping off your makeup with one of these towelettes that is great for all skin types! I have struggled with acne + oily skin for years, that’s why Neutrogena was always my go-to as recommended by my numerous Dermatologists.

Now to PUCKER Up! One key part of any holiday look is a chic lip. Whether you are a bold kinda gal or a bit more neutral / subtle like me, Neutrogena MouistureSmooth Color Sticks have the perfect shade for you.

Now…Let’s get down to business!

1.The best way to create your holiday makeup look is by starting with a vision. Check out Instagram + Youtube to get inspo from some of your fav beauty gurus / brands (I always look to others for inspiration).

2.Pick your shade! Neutrogena MouistureSmooth Color Sticks come in 16 fun shades. From nude hues to deep reds, no matter what your holiday look is, Neutrogena has the perfect color to match.

3.Pucker Up + Apply your preferred shade of Neutrogena MouistureSmooth Color Stick (I personally used Soft Raspberry – 60 for this look since I wanted a hint of bright pink to brighten up my look).

4.Stock up! With 16 different shade options at an affordable price from Walmart, it is only expected to stock up on all of the shades you love (hey you can switch your lip color from party to party :p). With that said, one of my other favorite shades is Pink Nude – 100.

5.Wipe it off! Even if I get back late from my holiday festivities, I always remember how important it is to wash my face + fully remove all of my makeup, dirt + oil before heading to bed to prevent breakouts. Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes do just the trick 😉

Kicking Off the Holidays on Rodeo Drive…

The HOLIDAYS are Here! I seriously can’t believe how fast this year has been going by! Feels like just yesterday was summer (perks of living in LA, no seasons means endless sunshine year round haha). It’s been a year and a half since I moved to LA from NY and boy has it been a crazy ride. Moving from Weho to Burbank, switching up my career from in house to agency life, changing from beauty + fashion to luxury lifestyle…this year has been full of surprises (mainly good, a few eh, but overall…amazing)!

Anyways, one of the exciting clients I work with is the Rodeo Drive Committee (pretty suiting for a gal who loves the finer things in life, huh? :p) To kick off the holiday season, tomorrow is the annual Beverly Hills ‘Holiday Lighting Celebration’ where Rodeo Drive lights up with street performers, festive treats + celeb performances!

In addition to working on this fun event, I have been promoting the charitable endeavor of Rodeo Drive this holiday season with the #RodeoGivesBack initiative! Beverly Hills is a pretty amazing community, the people truly are amazing and I have had the pleasure of meeting so many of them who have in turn, really taught me about the history Beverly Hills + Rodeo Drive holds (call me a nerd, but seeing old photos of Rodeo Drive + the Beverly Wilshire pre–RHOBH is pretty cool if you ask me :p).

One of the best parts about the holiday season is giving back to those in need. Rodeo Drive is helping to give the gift of warmth by partnering with the Salvation Army to collect coat donations throughout November + December! How great is that? This has been just one of the amazing projects I get to work on. I planned a little photo shoot at the Beverly Wilshire with some of my favorite blogger babes to get the word out about this great campaign!

What’s better than giving back around the holidays? Makes the holiday season so much brighter!

Now to break down this holiday look! I have had a love affair with this black tulle skirt for years now. It just reminds me of something Carrie Bradshaw would wear (in fact I did a whole shoot wearing it in front of the New York Public Library here).

I think this skirt is great for the holiday season. You can style it with a simple blouse (like this one) or wear a crop top + leather jacket for an edgier look (the possibilities are endless)!

I love these T-Strap Black Heels for the holiday season. I feel like they are such chic classics!

My clutch is actually a toiletry pouch from Louis Vuitton. I seriously LOVE this and even though it has been sold out at all of the LV boutiques I was able to find it with the help of LYST!

Join me as I party on Rodeo Drive tomorrow night at 4pm!
