10 Little Things About Me…

January 9, 2019

Striped Wrap Dress | Red Gucci Bag | White Slouchy Boots

I’ve always loved the movie 10 Things I Hate About You so I decided with today’s outfit post to add my own little twist so ya’ll can get to know me better…10 Little Things About Me ♥

Before I start, I want to breakdown my outfit since it’s one I have already worn to a few events + date nights and it’s one you’ll for sure be a fan of! Heading to girl’s night? Brunch? Dinner date? This look can become your go to!

I live for a a cute wrap dress since I am a firm believer they look good on just about every type of body shape + they look as chic as can be.

Usually I am not a huge fan of stripes (I find them difficult to pull off sometimes) but this dress from Vibe Apparel is one striped dress I am totally digging.

I have been really into white boots lately. I invested in a few pairs this year + I am so glad I did. They freshen up neutral colored winter looks + match with everything.

This Gucci bag was a Christmas gift to myself + it is the first designer bag I bought in a non-neutral color (fun fact haha – I tend to always buy neutral colored bags so they can go with everything – especially when investing a lot of money on them)

♥ 10 Little Things About Me ♥

1. I moved to LA 3 years ago from Long Island, NY (yes, I had a LI accent for a while but it has since went away…however I somehow developed a lisp haha)

2. I have been blogging for over 7 years (crazy I know, when I started Missy On Madison, I was working on Madison Avenue in NYC)

3. I had the absolute worst luck with dating until I met my boyfriend of 2 years who I live with about 20 miles out from LA (he is amazing + also the ying to my yang…while I love social media + sharing about my life, he is very private + doesn’t have any social media haha hence why there aren’t photos of him on my site or social, it’s our mutual respect for one another…he however is the photographer behind all of my amazing photos :p)

4. I have a slight (ok major) handbag addiction…I typically buy a new bag or two for myself every year, usually CHANEL, Gucci or Louis Vuitton (I share my tips to investing in designer bags here) I bought my first designer bag at 14 after saving all of my money from scooping popcorn at my local movie theater, it was a Dior saddle bag which I still have + has come back in style this year! That is what I love about bags, they tend to retain style + value over the years. Double fun fact, I got my handbag obsession from my mom who is an avid handbag lover as well.

5. I have traveled more in the past 2 years than I have in my entire life (what can I say, my boyfriend + I have the travel bug!) On that note, I took my first trip outside of the country last year + it was to London and then Paris.

6. I absolutely LOVE animated movies + characters (this you may know from my Instagram haha I LOVE the Minions but also Disney)

7. Similar to fun fact 6, I LOVE theme parks (my BF + I have been to so many since we began dating and we are continuing our tradition by celebrating our anniversary + my birthday at Disney World…just a few weeks away!)

8. I LIVE in dresses (ok this may be a tad obvious) but I have always been a fan of fit & flare dresses since I was in elementary school. When I got to middle school none of the girls wore dresses but I loved dressing up, wearing heels etc. Guess it makes sense I ended up blogging. Similarly, when I was a kiddo my mom never wanted to put my in the same outfit twice + she used to take photos of me every morning before pre-school etc (her clients think it’s funny now I still take photos of my outfits + have a blog haha :p)

9. I get lash extensions every two weeks + hair extensions every few months (if you follow me regularly you have seen me collaborate with hair extension brands) Once I tried lash + hair extensions for the first time, there was no turning back…they are addicting (but hey, I guess there could be worse things to be addicted to, right? :p)

10. I wear heels in practically ever blog picture but in reality I live in my Tory Burch Miller or Thora thongs daily (perks of sunny LA weather)

♥ What are some fun facts about you? ♥

Metallic Hues & Cobalt Blues…

October 15, 2014

Happy Wednesday Loves! This look features two of my favorite fall trends…cobalt blue and metallic…what more can a fashionista ask for? The lovely team at ShopMieux sent me these Zara metallic blue platform heels which are super comfortable and the perfect night out shoe (similar from ASOS here). I figured why stop the metallic moment at my footwear…why not add a metallic bag as well like my silver clutch from Carolinna Espinosa (similar from ShopBop here…use code FRIENDS25 for 25% off your purchase!). Now that we broke the metallics down…let’s get to the rest of this Humpday ensemble 😉 My cobalt blue blouse is from LC By Lauren Conrad AND you can score it now from my closet on Poshmark for a fraction of the cost! Like I mentioned earlier, from the bag to the shoes…I am loving metallic for fall…can you blame me? Metallic accessories, in my opinion really pull the look together…they add a little sparkle and shine (as if the sleeves on this top didn’t have enough of it..) and they can match with almost anything! My black scuba skirt is from Target, but I found a similar one available now from Nordstrom here. And to stay within the blue hues…mirrored aviators, my go to accessory! A little fun fact…while shooting this look at my local Tanger Outlets (what can I say why not shop & shoot at the same time haha!) a group of guys walked by and screamed out ‘Looking Good’ as I’m sitting there pretending to be a model…my brother aka my photographer just shook his head in embarrassment…sibling love at it’s finest 🙂Shop My Look<3

New York Is For Lovers…

Happy Tuesday Loves! While doing outfit shoots last weekend in Huntington I spotted this great little message outside of a store selling my sister’s favorite…sneakers! She’s shoe obsessed just like her big sis, except she has a thing for high tops, Supergas and Michael Kors while I have an obsession with stilettos, wedges and of course…metallic pumps like the ones I’m wearing in this look, they were $9 from Payless by the way…yes, no joke…$9 😉The skirt is from Target…a clearance find that I fell in love with right away. As my mom likes to say, I go for weird things…if there are bright colors and a wacky print I’m pretty much on board 🙂 I always love one statement piece and tone it down with some neutrals like the basic black bandeau top and Celine inspired black tote from Neiman Marcus Last Call.I love this bag, it’s basic, cute, classy and professional. It’s everything a bag needs wrapped into one adorable yet affordable package…like I mentioned it’s from Neiman Marcus Last Call so it only cost me after coupons of course….drum roll please…$60 yes ladies and gents, my shoes below were $9 {Similar from Schutz here} and my bag was $60, why can’t chic be cheap right? I also decided to be a bit wild with a red lip…my sister wasn’t a fan but hey sometimes you have to just think outside the box and risk it…safe to say none of my other looks from that day include red lips…it simply isn’t for me. I try time and time again to embrace it but unless it’s the right look or a special occasion, it’s a tricky situation.As a blogger I’m not afraid to admit I’m picky as sh*t meaning…I have all these great ideas in my head for poses to do or places to shoot or outfits I’d like to share and sometimes once I’m there and the photos are being taken I think to myself…that was not what I was expecting. Luckily, this look turned out even better than expected and the shot above is one I’m OBSESSED with <3 While bloggers are always showing themselves off, I’m sure other ladies can guarantee it’s rare there is a day that you think ‘Wow I look fabulous here’…takes time I suppose 😉Shop My Look <3

Maxi Moment…

June 16, 2014

Happy Monday loves! Time for another busy week of blogging, work and appointments, but I’m still reminiscing about how fabulous this past weekend was! The weather was great and my outfits…casual yet chic in Soho 🙂 I decided to rock my first ever ‘Maxi’ type piece…shocking I know. Since I’m 5’3 I usually have a hard time wearing longer lengths, but I spotted this skirt at Nordstrom Rack and totally gave in!I’m once again wearing my Dominie Luxury Jelly Tote…this bag has been a huge hit. Ladies everywhere are asking me where I got it, how much and what designer is it. Well…it’s from Dominie Luxury in California…it costs $147 and is the perfect summer bag! My shoes were a great Payless find during their huge sandal sale…you know I can never turn down a sale…especially on shoes! These wedges are totally comfy and cute…perfect summer combo ladies 🙂Aren’t they great? I think I will be living in these all summer! And while I embraced the maxi skirt trend, I always reverted back to Chambray and layered a simple chambray button down over the skirt for the ultimate casual weekend look 🙂 I got lucky with Nordstrom Rack…my top and skirt are both from their clearance racks!
