Maxed Out…

November 13, 2014

Happy Thursday Lovers! This was another outfit shot at my favorite Long Island back drop…the Vanderbilt Museum / Mansion. I’ve visited the grounds a few times now and every time I go it’s always picture perfect. I’m ready to instagram, pose and do typical ‘blogger’ things as some of my friends and family like to say I do whenever I visit the Vanderbilt Mansion. Well, this little look was no exception. I actually saw a few other bloggers style a maxi dress (which is traditionally a summer piece) for fall and I was inspired to do the same…hey any blogger who claims they are 100% original and don’t get ideas from stylists, bloggers or celebrities is totally lying…the world of fashion is a vast wonderland just waiting to be explored…similar to Long Island, which I’m uncovering one outfit at a time 😉I honestly can’t remember where I snagged this black ‘high-low’ maxi dress, but I found similar options here + here. The perfect way to make this common summer item and make it fall fabulous? With a cable knit sweater of course! I’m in LOVE like lust into love with this LC By Lauren Conrad Cable Knit Sweater from Kohls which is on sale NOW here.Now no look is complete without the perfect bag and shoes so here it goes…Yes, I have worn these taupe booties that I found at Marshalls a few times on the blog (here + here + here)…yeah they have become my fall staple shoe. My bag (which you can shop in my Poshmark closet here) is from Lord & Taylor (no longer available). I love a pop of color as you all know so here are two great blue quilted chain bags here + here. I also styled this bag with a blue skater skirt for a really colorful ensemble here.If the blue bag wasn’t enough for ya, I had to rock my ‘cool girl’ sunnies…my mirrored aviators from Bloomingdales here.| Click To Shop My Look |

Gift Guide Vol.2 – Tech Toys

November 12, 2014

Happy Wednesday Lovers! As the holiday season is fastly approaching I decided to share a little gift guide for one of the best gifts to give to any one on your list…tech toys! Every year my brother, sister and I always end up asking for some tech related item from our parent’s whether it’s for one of our birthday’s or for Christmas…we always want a gadget, headphones, a speaker or maybe even a case or accessory…the possibilities are endless and 9 times out of 10, anyone who receives one of these items are usually a happy camper 😉 (I know I always am)My go to tech must have’s? My iPhone 5s along with my Bose noise canceling headphones. I swear by these Bose headphones…they not only provide crystal clear sound and superior quality, but Bose has the best customer service I’ve come across in a while! I’ve gotten multiple headphones, speakers and sound essentials from them and anytime I had an issue or question, they answered it right away and provided excellent service.

And yes I have a love affair with Apple products…I know everyone always tries to plead their case on why a Galaxy or some other brand of phone is better than an iPhone, but hey I like my Apple products, they all sync perfectly and I have yet to encounter a virus or problem…that’s always a win in my book!

Mad For Plaid…

November 10, 2014

Happy Monday Loves! So I’m thinking it’s time to reveal a little bit more of me in my blog posts other than simply breaking down my looks…let’s get real…watchya think? Well for starters, this outfit was shot yesterday at my old stomping grounds…my elementary school! I felt so old being there but easily forgot about that the second I saw an adorable King Charles Cavalier (the same breed as my little Charlie) walk by in between photos…Not sure if this is just me but the second I see a cute little dog my voice instantly turns into a high pitch squeal as if I was talking to an infant…it’s a bit embarrassing but hey it’s a little quirk I have!Other than my obsession with adorable dogs, I have obsessing over plaid this fall, especially from Old Navy. I rocked a black and white plaid flannel last week on the blog and opted to add a little color with this red and blue plaid flannel here. I always want to add color no matter what the season…it’s another little quirk of mine.Speaking of color…I ended up buying this blue faux leather tote from Old Navy that I had on last week’s Weekend Wish List here. It’s perfect for work or play and I love the cobalt blue hue for fall to add a little extra ‘pop’. My booties are from Report Shoes and were a Marshalls ‘Fab Found’ purchase but I found them here at 6pm.com.An outfit is never complete without subtle hints of bling (or in my case not so subtle…oops). The Michael Kors gold link watch I’m wearing makes a great gift idea for a friend, sister or loved one and it’s on sale here at Nordstrom. Other great gift ideas? The oversized gold cuff I’m wearing is available at Saks Off Fifth here and my Kendra Scott Druszy ring (a best seller) is available here.Another great gift idea? Delicate necklaces that can be layered for everyday wear like the Hamsa Hand necklace I’m wearing (similar here) and my initial triangle pendant necklace that you can score from Nordstrom now just in time for the holiday’s and as always…free shipping! That’s a win / win for all!This is one of my favorite casual fall looks and the best part? It’s all affordable head to toe…just see for yourself by shopping it below 😉| Click To Shop |

Mixing Moto…

Happy Friday Loves…or should I say happy feisty Friday! I’m feeling a little feisty today with my mix of leopard print and faux leather in this outfit post. I always associate moto jackets, faux leather and leopard print for fall…mix them all together are voila…today’s look is born!I wanted to make your Friday a little sweeter with a friendly reminder that you can still enter to win a piece from the Dora Landa NY collection (including this fabulous leopard print dress I am wearing here)…who doesn’t love the chance to win a gorgeous piece of clothing (that normally retails for around $200!) I know I sure do 🙂I decided to take this cute little dress and make it a bit edgy by adding a moto jacket (this one is from Karen Kane but I found a similar one from Blank NYC here). Instead of opting for heels…time to add a chic little bootie like this Nine West one here. I feel like this look is a mix of biker chic and girly girl…the best kind of looks in my opinion.My brown envelope clutch is from SuSu Handbags and is definitely unique and a must have for fall (shop it on Poshmark here). It’s an easy everyday clutch to hold your keys, wallet and lip gloss or you can dress it up with jeans, a blazer and pumps for a fun night out.I loved this shot with a few little roses (perfect for Melissa Rose…get it haha my middle name is Rose…a little fun fact about me!)| Click To Shop My Look & Enter The Dora Landa NY Giveaway HERE |
