    Let It Snow

    20140104-123634.jpg
    In case you aren’t from the tri-state area, a quite powerful snowstorm passed through NYC and Long Island leaving in it’s path a ton of snow. Naturally what’s a girl to do with at least 8 inches of snow on the ground? Well take photos in it of course!  So while I had a snow day Friday from work, I headed out into the snow in my favorite all black winter get up.

    Just because it’s freezing and snowy outside doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your fashion sense! My perfect outfit to battle the snow and cold? My snake print Stuart Weitzman boots, a cozy Via Spiga coat, an oversized sweater and comfy Hue leggings. To tie the whole look together? A pair of great sunnies of course because hey…it may be snowing but that doesn’t mean the sun isn’t shining!

    I found these Stuart Weitzman boots on clearance at Saks Off Fifth over a year ago, along with these Hugo Boss aviators. This Via Spiga jacket was one of my best Black Friday scores from Lord & Taylor which I scored over 50% off! Sale pieces always come together to make some of the best ensembles!

    Anyway, my point is…a lot of fashionistas slack off in the winter…meaning that sometimes it’s a lot easier to throw on a pair of sweats and call it a day. I’m not gunna lie, occasionally I get a bit lazy and feel it’s a lot easier to dress for warmth and forget about style, but I’m trying to start 2014 off right and mix comfort and warmth with style and fashion…I’m pretty sure they can all co-exist, don’t you?!

    As the temperatures continue to decline, be sure to dress warm, stay chic and never loose your personal style, even in the most severe of weather conditions!

    A Final Farewell to 2013…

    20131231-091530.jpg
    This year has been quite the journey for me. Not to sound corny or young or naive but I’d have to say this year has truly been one I will never forget and has transformed me completely!

    In the year 2013, I graduated Hunter College with a Bachelors Degree in Media Communications. I found my career path by starting my own social media consultation business, ‘MRT Media Management’…the fact that in the year 2013 you can get paid for running a company’s Twitter, Facebook or Instagram account is pretty amazing…not gunna lie. I landed a great full time career at FFANY (Fashion Footwear Association Of NY) straight out of college…literally a week after I graduated..not a minute to waste. And last but not least, I launched my lovely blog ‘Missy On Madison‘ and met an amazing guy I’m happy to call my boyfriend, Chezi!

    In this year alone I went from being a college student whose schedule consisted of working 3 part time jobs and interning for amazing companies all while taking full time college classes…talk about a crazy 4 years! I’m definitely grateful for my college years don’t get me wrong. College gave me the opportunity to intern for WWD…amazing and for Howard Stern…even more amazing. I’ve had experiences most girls my age can only dream of (I have family and friends calling me modern day Carrie Bradshaw…I can only wish) and I’d have to say I truly am blessed…proving that a little hard work, some motivation and of course a ton of passion, leads to success…I’m living proof! I am truly grateful for all that the year 2013 has brought me and as this year comes to a close, I can only hope that the year 2014 will bring you and myself continued health, love, success and of course…the key ingredient to happiness in life…passion!

    See what outfit and dazzling shoes I’m rocking this New Year’s Eve (Hint…it involves a little white with a dash of sparkle!)

    Winter Weather

    hphoto

    It’s a snow filled day in NYC today and while I try and always look stylish and never want to have just a ‘comfort’ look, this weather called for some drastic measures…Uggs.

    Now I have owned Uggs since I was in the 7th grade, and in middle school and high school on Long Island, they were a ‘must have’, but have ‘Uggs’ become just plain ugly? Is wearing them a sign of defeat…like you just don’t care about looking cute? I love to be stylish, don’t get me wrong, but when it snowing and freezing….isn’t the most rational thing to do to wear Uggs?

    This then leads me to my next question…Can Uggs be cute and stylish? And I’m talking the classic Uggs ladies, not all the new heeled styles they have recently come out with. Think about it, can a pair of Uggs really make or break an outfit? I guess that’s for you to decide!

    See how I styled Uggs for my Cozy Thanksgiving look: here

    A Touch Of Reptile

    20131104-072959.jpg
    It’s a chilly day in the Big Apple and that calls for pants that’ll keep you warm and layers you can peel away as things heat up throughout the day.

    Today I’m ‘rocking’ my reptile print ‘Rockstar’ skinny jeans from Old Navy. First off, let me just say that Old Navy’s ‘Rockstar’ skinnies are the most comfortable jeans I’ve come across in a long time. They come in a bunch of different colors, patterns, textures and fits making them wearable for almost any body type.

    Since the pants are printed I opted for a plain white top and layered a black faux fur vest by Karen Kane over it for a little extra ‘oomph’.

    I love this look because it’s stylish, comfortable and keeps me warm in this chilly Manhattan weather.

    Hope everyone keeps warm on this Monday!

    Shop My OOTD:
    Top: Old Navy: $15
    Vest: Karen Kane $25 (on clearance at Lord & Taylor)
    Pants: Old Navy: $19

    My Dry Bar Adventure

    20131004-095521.jpg

    A few weeks ago, I finally had the chance to test out ‘The Dry Bar’ in NYC!

    I had to prepare for the big FFANY ‘Shoes On Sale‘ gala at the Waldorf Astoria and needed gorgeous hair in a hurry.

    Right when I walked in I was offered either Champagne, a Mimosa or Wine and there was plenty of sweet treats to snack on.

    The atmosphere was amazing and I loved the layout of the ‘bar’ itself. They washed, blew out and curled my hair, just like how I requested and the best part? It was all for $40! Most salons charge for the blowout then extra on top of that for the styling, but not Dry Bar!

    Also as I was there posting pics from my experience on instagram, their social media team was very responsive and was asking how it was going! How much better can customer service get?

    I can’t wait to go back and have sexy Victoria’s Secret style hair on a budget!
