Dearest snow storm Jonas. You were soft, sweet and romantic when it all started. I gradually watched you fall, piece by piece, and flake by flake until you became larger than life. You blew in, with a force so mighty, you took over all of New York City. You were cold and ugly. You sent shivers down my spine, and you left it all on the streets. You forced me into my ugly puffer coat, and boring, flat rain boots, which you know I can’t stand. I spent a full day cooped up inside my home, leaving my sequins and party dresses behind, locked in the darkness of my closet. But I’ve got something to tell you, sir Jonas. We. Are. Over.
From Thanksgiving on the beach, to a fall themed cruise this year, what could possibly be next? Maybe I just should plan a ski trip styled entirely in swimwear. Each of our trips lately have been so much fun, but challenging to style, with a reverse wardrobe for each.
It was date night on repeat in Maui, and every night was a dream. I hadn’t even packed a pair of stilettos for our trip, and I didn’t miss them at all. My typical packing routine would include grabbing every single pair of heels I own, shoving them into my suitcase and praying that it closed. I generally know I’m packing too much, but I do actually wear them all.
Two weeks ago, we arrived in Saint Pete for an early birthday celebration weekend with my sister and brother in law, and I was beyond excited. It had been a few months since I had been to Saint Petersberg and I absolutely love it there.
This past weekend was an absolute dream in the very best way possible. For my upcoming birthday, my only wish was to celebrate with my sister. She lives in Florida and we rarely see each other, but she is my everything. We booked a flight and flew to Saint Pete a week early, which was exactly what I wanted.
Palm trees are popping up everywhere, and I mean everywhere in NYC! (Wouldn’t that be a dream come true?)! But I truly mean it. This concrete jungle of ours has embraced palm trees in a big way. Unfortunately, I don’t mean in a realistic, towering way, that would make it easy to lounge while sipping a pina colada in tropical paradise. This is NYC, so let’s be real. This city is a mecca for fashionistas, as well as the fashion industry, so of course the palm tree print is trending this summer.
In the middle of winter, it’s definitely easy to get caught up wearing the same baggy, cozy pjs, using your basic makeup colors over and over again, until their gone, and spritzing your usual go-to fragrances. However Valentine’s Day happens once a year, and it’s fun to spice things up a bit. There’s no better time than now to splurge on a few pretty little things whether it’s for your love, or to celebrate yourself. Why not? They make you feel special, desired and all around beautiful. You deserve it! So whether you celebrate with your love, your besties, or yourself, make sure to treat yourself like a queen. Here are a few of my favorite Valentine’s finds this season. Enjoy Beauties!
Hello Beauties! Here in NYC, we are currently braving winter storm Juno. The weather teams and news crews seem to be going crazy. I’ll admit however, that I had the most beautiful walk home from the gym tonight. It was late. The streets were dark and quiet, with only the twinkling lights on the trees and street lamps to illuminate the way. I watched the snowflakes gracefully float to the ground as I walked. Instead of the chaos the news has been reporting, the night felt so peaceful to me. These are the little moments I love about New York. All of our transportation has been shut down here. So, what exactly does that mean? Snow dayyyy!
While preparing for a hometown visit to Ohio, I went a little sweater crazy, in an attempt to find perfect sweaters for my trip. I’m generally not a sweater girl, so finding styles that I like is usually a challenge.
Fall has arrived, and I can feel the chill in the air. You know what that means? It’s boot season! While I usually search endlessly for my favorite pair of boots each Fall, this year the search was simple and successful. I found my favorite pair of UGG boots.
UGG’s Fall boot collection is incredible. Aside from their classic styles, they designed a beautiful collection of fashion forward boots, which are must haves for the Fall season. I found so many styles I loved, and I initially found it challenging to pick my favorite.
