    A Mint Monday

    20140224-103029.jpg

    So it may still be winter in NYC but I just came back from Vegas where there was nothing but sunny skies and palm trees…putting me in the mood to post a bright and minty fresh outfit 😉 (get it mint…minty fresh haha)!

    Something I learned is that whenever I wear a bright color my mood is instantly lifted…I feel like a new person and it’s as if all eyes are on me…because when doesn’t a little neon grab your attention?  I scored this chic blazer on clearance for $10 at H&M a year ago and I must say it always makes a statement. I paired it with a flirty polka dot skirt, my fav Prabal Gurung for Target heels and my trustee Rebecca Minkoffmini mac bag‘. This bag is perfect for anything…it’s my go to 🙂

    I also love these heels because they are not only stylish, but super comfortable and can go with a dress, skirt, jeans, shorts or just about anything! They were one of my go to shoes for Vegas although I spent the whole trip working :/…safe to say I can’t wait to go back for some true fun in the sun and in the casino! I was in Vegas on business but next time it will definitely be for some pleasure!

    Here’s to wishing for some warmer weather so I can actually wear an outfit like this to work rather than just for playing dress up on the weekends 🙂

    ‘Workout Wednesday’ – ‘Juicing’

    green-juice

    Ok, so the big health fad of ‘juicing’ seems to be making it’s way into the year 2014. The year 2013 was filled with models, celebrities, your neighbor down the street and just about anyone looking to kick start a healthy lifestyle all attributing it to ‘Juicing’.

    If you’ve been living under a rock for the past year and aren’t quite familiar with the term ‘Juicing’ let me explain…Basically, for a certain period time, it can be a day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days or even 2 weeks, you don’t eat, but you drink approximately 6 pre-made juices a day as meal replacements in order to cleanse your system and give your body all the nutrients, fruits and vegetables your supposed to be getting on a daily basis, but you rarely do due to poor eating habits.

    Sounds like a reasonable idea? Now I haven’t tried this out yet for a few reasons, 1) Will I be able to function solely on drinking juice even if it is just for 3 days? I’m not too sure…2) Even if it cleanses my system for the 3 days I’m on it, what happens after?…3) If your someone who isn’t ready to commit to a ‘Juicing’ lifestyle, meaning I’m not prepared to do a cleanse every month…is there a point of even jumping in to doing one in the first place?

    Like with most things, I’m slightly skeptical when it comes to juicing. While I am all about trying to be healthy…although I can’t promise to always stick to it 100% of the time, is ‘Juicing’ truly good for you? Or is it simply one more fad that will be replaced in a year with the next health and weight loss breakthrough?

    I think for now I will try a method that has seemed to ring true time after time…working out and eating right. What about you?

    Now Stop, Travel Time!

    Happy Tuesday Fashion Lovers! I’m off to the Big Apple for the December FFANY Shoe Show…that means prepare yourself for plenty of ‘shoe’ related photos and posts…best part? They are all styles not yet available in stores..meaning, I’ll be giving you a sneak peek into the ‘Fashion Week’ of the shoe world!

    Although I’m just going from Long Island, I don’t know about you but I seem to have a tough time conserving suitcase space and just bringing the bare necessities….so I felt quite grown up when I scored this 30′ inch bright purple suitcase at TJ Maxx with a ‘Maxxinista’ gift card I won! Not only is it my fav color but…it practically paid for itself…pretty awesome if you ask me!

    In addition, you know I can’t go anywhere without my trustee Louis Vuitton Neverfull (my pretend ‘carry on’ for the Long Island railroad)!

    Another thing I’m super excited about? The awesome photos coming to the blog…I enlisted the help of my little sister Heather and she is quite the photographer…best part? She never requires cash, just Baked By Melissa…sounds like a sweet deal if you ask me!
