Be Chic. Be Cool.

I recently made a Polyvore account and I am so excited to create fun and easy looks on there. It's so much fun and its a great way to express what trends you are into at the moment. The first set I made was inspired by last post on wedge dunks, paired with boyfriend shorts and a colorful blazer is just perfect for the spring. Its still not too warm in NY but a colorful piece will bring light to anyone's day.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and I will go create another set. 

Until Next time

Heal your Skin!


Hello Lovelies!
I have always struggled with acne, probably since I was 14. I have tried possibly everything but nothing has worked. I came up with a skin regimen that I have been on for the past couple of months and has really helped my skin clear up. My main skin concerns are dark spots, oily T-zone and acne. If your skin is anything like mine, I HIGHLY recommend using these products. You will definitely see a difference in a week of using them.  I would not use anything else!

Kiehl's products has changed my life!

1.  I wash my face with Clearly Corrective Purifying Foaming Cleanser with my clarisonic MIA.
2.  I use the Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner.
3.  I use a thin layer of the Acne Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment.
4.  Then I apply the Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado for my under eyes.  If you are on  the computer for 8 hours a day, you really need to apply under eye cream regardless of age. 
5.  Last apply the Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream as your moisturizer.
6. Once a month I will use my PMD, which is personal microdermabrasion that helps with blemishes, pores, wrinkles and dead skin cells.
7. Weekly, I will exfoliate my skin with a scrub and use a deep cleansing mask. (I am a big fan of natural DIY ones)

** At night I repeat the same steps but I apply the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution after the Acne Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment.

Dunk Sky High: Which city are you?


Nike came out with a wide variety of dunks that have a wedge on them. At first I thought sneakers with wedges? ehhh, until I saw the preview of the new "City Pack" collection at the Mercer store in Soho, then I was all in. They are named after the 5 fab cities (left to right): New York, Tokyo, London, Paris, and Milan. My favorite style is New York, or maybe I am just biased. My second choice would be Milan, love the cobble leather and gold check. They came out in stores the past Wednesday and would definitely try to get my hands on them because they are all sold out online! They are totally glam in my book and would give chic/cool look to any outfit. So what City are you?
P.S TGIF! Have a fab weekend!

Hey All!

Hello my lovely fashionistas,

So we have a lot of catching up to do! Life has been hectic with a new full time job and Maria with school. I hope you guys are well and having an amazing year.
Are you guys excited for Spring? Even though it still feels like winter here in NY.  Both Maria and I are recovering from the flu, so we are over the cold weather! I am looking forward to bright colors, the flowers blooming and of course Spring fashion.
Spring trends that I am excited for :

Stripes- Never goes out of fashion and always looks classy.


Color block Handbags- Always a great statement piece in any outfit.



Tying The Knot Hairstyle- up, up and away from your face.



XOXO

Green With Envy






Jacket: Club Monaco
Pants: Zara
Shoes: Aldo
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (blush pink ostrich)
Hey lovelies! Scored this army green jacket at club monaco over the weekend, its cool and comfortable, which is totally up my ally. I love the leather detailing and how it is high in the front and has a low round shape in the back. Since it is spring thought it would be ideal to pair it with bright colored pants. Well i am off to watch secret life! Good night and hope you guys enjoyed the post!

Let's talk Jewelry




My obsession with etsy isn’t something new, especially when I find a store that recreates designer jewelry for an affordable price. So I wanted to share with you a store that you may also fall in love with. I came across Lovechichi’s store on etsy, she is based in Australia and makes chain jewelry, inspired of hrhcollection, but for half the price. I have purchased hrhc jewelry before and after comparing them, I realized they are the exact same great quality stuff. Since Lovechichi is located in Australia, shipping is more on the expensive side, but it does still saves you money. So if you’re an fashionista on a budget, I would recommend her store.

Overall:
Fast shipping. (My package arrived in 9 days)
Great customer service, reply’s back super fast to your questions.
Customizes to your liking and size. 
Definitely would purchase again.

P.S - My favorite item from my purchase is Ms. Maggie!

October Fest




It has been a long time since I have put up a post! I cannot believe how fast time flies, it is already October, one of my favorite months in the year. I absolutely love fall fashion and I just feel very festive because the holidays are just around the corner. What is your favorite month/season/holiday?
