    My Perfect ‘Date Night’ Envelope Clutch from Target!

    While I am a big bag kind of girl (obsessed with my Louis Vuitton NeverFulls), there comes a time when a lady wants to be a little chic and carry a simply yet elegant bag that has just enough room for the ‘basic necessities’…I.E the Envelope Clutch!

    I believe the ‘Envelope Clutch’ is a fashion staple every fashionista should own. It’s simple and chic, perfect for your ID, Credit Card, Lipstick, Mascara and your keys…what else can a girl ask for? Now while I lust after some serious beauties…Prada, Chanel, Gucci, you get the idea, I certainly can’t afford them, so I scored my perfect clutch on clearance at Target months ago! Don’t fret, with the help of Polyvore, I rounded up some of my favorite animal print inspired clutches for the perfect girls night out or date night.

    While envelope clutches are chic no matter what the design, I love a fun animal print to bring out your inner diva! What fashionista doesn’t love a little animal print, come on!

    Here’s my roundup of great animal print clutches that are sure to spice up your night 😉

    CK One Color – My Savior

    I’m not afraid to admit it, I’m a girly girl, I love looking good and feeling my best, however one thing I’m not a huge fan of is being outgoing and creative with my makeup. Call me boring, call me plain but my version of awesome makeup? Whatever looks naturally…hides any blemishes and lasts all day…see, I’m so easy to please.

    So I decided to share my ‘Go To’ beauty products that have survived the test of time and have been kept in my makeup rotation despite me constantly trying something different. One of my favorite products that I have grown to love is my CK One Color Pressed Powder sold exclusively at Ulta. Like I mentioned in previous posts (Ulta Holiday Fragrance Guide & Ulta One Stop Beauty Shop) Ulta is one of my favorite places to shop for everything from foundation to hair products to body lotion to anything in between. Why? Because they will literally take ANYTHING back! That means I can buy 20 different shades of foundation, bronzer and eye shadow and give back whatever doesn’t work for me, no problem…now that’s customer service!

    Anyways, back to my beauty haul…So I’m in love with the whole CK One Color line of cosmetics. They are from Calvin Klein and the line is relatively new but according to the gals in Ulta and reviews on line it is a huge hit and I know why. Using the pressed powder foundation cuts down my morning routine and covers up any problem areas leaving you with flawless, smooth looking skin. In addition, it lasts a while…my first one lasted me months.

    You know you love a product when it all of a sudden becomes ‘unavailable’ and then you start to panic…yup, that was me for the past 2 months while Calvin Klein was repacking and redesigning the product. The women in Ulta had me try numerous brands and products, but nothing quite worked for me like this product did….So boy was I relieved when they finally had it in stock last week! (I was so overjoyed I texted my boyfriend saying it was the best day ever..he knew my struggle with makeup although he insists I should where none…that’s men for ya lol ;))

    In addition for having a love affair with the CK One Pressed Powder, I have a deep fondness for the CK One Color Brow Pencil Duo. Sometimes when you use a powder foundation your eyebrows blend in due to powder getting on them as you apply the makeup. This eyebrow duo solves that problem by having a mechanical pencil that helps darken the brows (it comes in 3 shades to match your hair color) and the other side has a gel that goes over them to refine the look. Do this once in the morning and your set for the day.

    Naturally your look isn’t finished without the perfect eyelashes and lips and guess what CK One Color has one of the best nude lipsticks named ‘Naked‘ and a great mascara. Use all these products and you look instantly refreshed while still looking natural as though your not wearing any makeup!

    Best part? They all come at a price that won’t break your wallet and if you don’t like them, no hassle returns at Ulta! What do you have to loose?!

    Shop These Products Below:

    Mascara: $18

    Lipstick: $16

    Eyebrow Duo: $22

    Pressed Powder Foundation: $26

    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 🙂

    ‘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?

    I was so excited to have some ‘warm’ weather the past few days but naturally all good things must come to an end and today, another huge snowstorm heads our way. What does that mean? As my dad said this morning “What does the news always tell you to do when it’s snowing out?” “Dress in layers!” And today’s outfit is exactly that…because as everyone knows…the proper way to stay warm and cozy is with warm layers that you can add on or peel off throughout the day.

    I love this outfit because like some of you have already seen…I’m a bit obsessed with this faux fur vest which is just as warm as it looks. Pair it over a nice top like this one from Lonny’s, add some bling and your ready for a day at the office or a night out. My dark wash skinny jeans are from Abercrombie and are actually thick making them a great pair for the winter.

    Knowing me, I love to add a little ‘Pop Of Color‘ to any outfit, so I decided to introduce these comfy and stylish Calvin Klein burgundy wedged booties that I scored on clearance from Lord & Taylor a month ago. Why do I love these? First off anything with a wedge has a special place in my heart because they add extra height without forgoing on the comfort.
