    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 😉

    An MK Moment

    20140123-102638.jpgThe best way to stay cozy & warm during this polar vortex we are having here in NYC is with a heavy, yet chic coat that is sure to keep you snuggled up without giving up on style…This Michael Kors coat is the perfect combination of sexy, chic, warm and cozy…you can’t beat that!

    It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me, that I love to wear pieces that are comfy and cute, this coat with these heeled H&M boots gives me that instant boost of sexy that every gal needs throughout the day. In my mind, all black can be one of the sexiest colors to wear, and this ensemble demonstrates just that.

    A gorgeous jacket, stylish boots and your ready to take on whatever the day or night has to offer. It’s often times hard, in my opinion to feel ‘hot’ in the winter, but in this outfit I feel like I’m ready to take on the world and like I’m about to walk the runway at MBFW…now that’s confidence haha 🙂

    Tap For Details…

    Join me on the Famest app --> @MissyOnMadison

    Join me on the Famest app –> @MissyOnMadison

    (Tap For Details) is a phrase I pretty much use on my Instagram everyday along with every other blogger out there, however with the rising trend of snapping and posting fashion pics comes specially developed apps used just for that purpose! Meaning…tapping is pretty much self explanatory and just for fashionistas like yourself!

    Here’s my quandary…Which app is the fashion app for you? All of these fashion apps have the same concept: 1) Upload a pic of your style, a clothing item, someone else’s style or pretty much anything you want fashion related…2) Tag the items in that post using brand names, categories, colors etc….3) Share your post with the world via social media. Sounds pretty similar to Instagram right?

    So what is the purpose of all these fashion apps? Easy, have accessible style to all with just the tap of your finger. These apps are speciality formatted to allow users to search by trends, categories, seasons…whatever fashion your looking for, these apps will help you find it.

    Now which app is for you…do you sign up for all of them? 4 of them? 2? Maybe just one? This is my issue…currently I’m on Famest (as pictured above), Pose & Trendabl…I believe at some point I was on Snapette & Style Tag as well but after a while it gets hard to maintain all of them…plus Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and the blog itself! Turns into a full time job just to share your personal style!

    So here’s the skinny on what makes each app different (Your Welcome 😉 )

    FamestNow this app is a little over a year old, originated in Belgium and in my opinion is revolutionary. Basically, after posting your style, every time that image gets ‘Likes’ from other users, you earn points…these points can be used towards rewards from your favorite brands and designers, like being able to enter giveaways & contests exclusively on Famest or by receiving coupons, discounts or special offers on your favorite products..simply for having killer style! Umm kinda amazing! (Available online & as an app)

    Snapette: This app is designed not to necessarily focus on what your wearing but rather to share those moments when you step into a store, see that dreamy handbag that you simply have to have and while it may take you 3 months to afford it, you ‘snap’ a pic of it…upload it to Snapette and continue to lust after it along with all your fellow fashionistas on the app. Basically it’s a great way to share individual items rather than overall looks. (Available online & as an app)

    Trendabl: With celebs like Nicky Hilton and Michael Kors standing behind this app, you know it’s a hit. Trendabl is a platform that allows designers, brands, stores, bloggers and just about anyone to share their personal style pics..include tags for what they are wearing and store their favorite looks in ‘draws’ for later outfit inspiration! (Available on the app store only)

    Pose: Similar to Trendabl, users on Pose can upload their personal style shots, tag items and share it with friends. Pose has been endorsed by style icon Rachel Zoe and what I personally love about Pose is the fact that you can use it on the computer or on your phone! They also have a great tech support team that answeres any user questions right away…that’s always a great thing! (Available online & as an app)

    Style Tag: Style Tag is also similar to Pose and Trendabl, however what makes it different is once you post and tag your style shots, the app can help users find items similar to what your wearing because come on…half the pieces I wear were on clearance 5 months ago and simply may not be able to be found anymore, however there’s tons of pieces out there with a similar style and taste just waiting to be bought! (Available online & as an app)

    What Time Is It MK?

    What Time Is It MK?

    Working in NYC I tend to get asked a lot, ‘Excuse me what time is it?’…Yes, hard to believe that in the age where we wear watches as a bracelet and have phones glued to our hands, that people still ask eachother what time it is but hey to each his own. Anyway, there is no better way to accessorize an outfit and keep on track during the day than with a watch that stands out and will never go out of style.

    This brings me to why I LOVE Michael Kors watches. Besides the fact that I have a major style crush on Michael and think no one ever made jeans, a white tee and a black blazer look so good…I love that he caters to every type of woman. Meaning he has watches that are $150-$300 for the gal in high school, college, or a newbie to the working world, and then he has pieces that can cost upwards of $800…the choice is completely up to you. He makes versatile styles that can go with any outfit and the best part in my opinion is the quality.

    I’m not going to lie, I happen to be guilty of owning a few Michael Kors watches myself…because like shoes, handbags and outfits…a fashionista always needs options. However something I will always love about a good watch is that it is timeless (haha had to throw that in there..time..timeless..oh it’s going to be a great day 🙂 ) Anyway, watches are a signature staple of every outfit and whichever you wear says a lot about you…whether it’s bedazzled, simple, pink, blue…that watch speaks wonders about your personality and when someone shakes your hand…it’s part of a first or last impress 😉 Choose Wisely!

    Also! This is my first post using Polyvore and may I just say it is kinda amazing! Making collages with embedded links to shop direct…what a genius idea! <3

    ‘Lust VS. Must’ – Quilted Blue Bag

    Screen Shot 2013-11-08 at 1.28.55 PM

    I spotted this cobalt blue beauty on a few fashion bloggers and I instantly fell in love. Naturally I have taste for the finer things in life, however I certainly don’t have the budget to buy them, so on this week’s edition of ‘Lust vs. Must’ I bring to you the cheaper yet still chic version of the cobalt blue Chanel bag I fell head over *heels* for!

    While I couldn’t find an exact price on this Chanel show stopper, I’m sure it’s in the thousands, so I found a few great options to try!

    My ‘Must’ piece I actually purchased myself. It’s by the brand ‘Paradox’ available at Lord & Taylor and with all the sales and coupons only cost me $99! See how I styled it: here.

    Some other great quilted blue bag options I found are also reasonably affordable. I happen to have a love for Rebecca Minkoff, especially her handbags, so I fell in love when I found her ‘Affair’ bag in blue! You can get the large version with studs at either Nordstrom or Zappos, or the ‘mini’ version without studs at Nordstrom!

    If your a Michael Kors fan your in luck! Michael has a great quilted blue bag on sale at Piperlime for $213! I love the metal closure on the front and it’s also a perfect going out bag since it’s small and compact!
