Hello blogging world!! Long time no see and I've definitely missed you. Soooo much has been going on lately I can not find the time to put together a post. Finals for my second quarter at AI just ended and I'm sooo relieved to be done. I have been incredibly busy and am looking forward to my little vacay to Florida! I'm sitting in the airport now waiting to board the plane. Can not wait for some FL sunshine!!! I'm going to try and get back to blogging if my schedule allows. I've bought so many amazing shoes and clothing lately that I've been dying to share but can't find the time. I guess I need to work on my time managment a little better lol. Check back for posts soon I will def be able to update while I'm in Florida!

Black/Leather

Hello everyone! Its a snow day here in NYC and I'm definitely taking advantage of it. I've been so busy with school, work, and interning I needed a day to catch up on sleep, hw and cleaning the apartment, so the snow day couldn't have come at a better time.

Bloggings been sporadic because I barely have the time to put together a post, but I came across photos of Kate Hudson and Leighton Meester and I had to share their outfits! I love the mix of leather and black in their dresses. Something I will definitely be trying soon!

Also I've been doing a lot of shoe shopping lately, so I'll have pics to share soon!

Have a wonderful week!

Lots of love xoxo

Golden Globes 2011

Hello everyone!! The Golden Globes had soo many great dresses that it brought my blogging back to life lol. Lately I haven't been feeling very inspired but watching all the ladies arrive last night, with the dresses getting better and better had me loving dressing up all over again!

My top two favorites were Leighton Meester and Anne Hathaway in long sleeve gowns. Leighton Meester wore Burberry and I loved the color of the dress and heels. While Anne Hathaway wore Armani Prive and she looked killer! The back was amazing and the head-to-toe sequins were gorgeous.

Blush tones were a suprising trend on the red carpet and for a girl who doesn't love pink much, I found myself loving a lot of the dresses. Lea Michele wore Oscar de la Renta and this was my favorite color pink of all the dresses. Her hair is also really pretty. Megan Fox wearing Armani Prive went for a softer pink and the detailing on the top was beautiful. Claire Danes wore Calvin Klein Collection and she went for a much bolder pink. I loved the dress and hair but I wish she would have went for a more bolder earring to go with the simple cut of her dress. Then there was Emma Stone also in Calvin Klein Collection wearing a more peachy pink. The cut of the dress was great and the cutout of the back was so perfect for the dress.

Of course there will always be the ladies in black, oh and Olive Wilde in brown lol. Olivia Wilde wore Marchesa and her princess gown was gorgeous. I especially loved her hair, which went great with the dress. Eva Longoria wore Zac Posen and here's another dress with a great cutout back. I first loved the dress when I saw it from the front and then seeing the back had me loving it even more. Jennifer Lawrence wore Louis Vuitton and my favorite thing about it is the cut of the dress. While I love the color and ruffle detail, the standout for me is the cut which we never see.


Lastly another big trend of the night was emerald green. This was another color I was suprised to see so many leading ladies wearing but I have to admit I adore this color. Mila Kunis wore Vera Wang which had great back detailing. Catherine Zeta-Jones wore Monique Lhuilier and it is my favorite green dress out of the bunch. The texture and cut are perfect together. Last but not least there's Angelina Jolie in Versace. The color looked amazing on her and the shimmering of the dress was perfect.

What were your favorites? Would love to know!


So thrilled with all the great dresses at the Golden Globes and its just the beginning of award season! Can't wait to see what fashion the next shows hold for us.

Have a beautiful week everyone!!

PS1 Lover

Earlier this week I found out through NYCshopguide on Twitter about a few sample sales this week. One of them being Proenza Schouler, one of my favorite desingers of late. Since Christmas is next weekend I didn't go all out but I did get a PS1 wallet for more than half the price! I've been needing a new wallet and dying for a PS1, so I was definitely thrilled to find this wallet that could also double up as a clutch!

I'm in love with this wallet, its the perfect size and has such a great print! Follow @NYCshopguide on twitter for all the latest NYC sample sales!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Working and Christmas shopping the rest of the weekend then off to go back to FL for the holidays Sunday :) Finished my last final today and can't believe how slow the week has gone by but TGIF!

A Bendels Girl

Today was the second day of my internship and after going to a couple of appointments at show rooms I went to shop the stores. Today was my first time ever at Henri Bendels and I'm officially in love. The store is amazing and the accessories/jewelery selection is so good. I restrained from buying myself anything since I still have lots of Christmas shopping to do but I will be making a purchase very soon! Here are a few things that I loved.

From left to right: Oval Rivet Bangle and Hinge Leather Bangle w/Swarovski, A.V. Max Set of 3 Stone Rings, Alex and Ani Peace Set of 3 Bracelets, Henri Stack Ring Set, Selima Leopard Fedora, I <3>

I'm obsessed with Bendels now, guess that makes me a Bendels girl lol ;)

Hope everyone has a great week! Its finals week for me and I have two more to go, then off to Florida for Christmas Break. Can't wait to see my family and friends!

Donna Karan New York

My recent purchases from a DKNY sample sale I luckily happened to stumble across while at Donna Karan for an interview. I got these sweaters(one more not pictured) and a jacket all for $50 bucks! I was so happy because I desperately needed sweaters for the colder weather coming in NY and it just happened to snow today for the first this winter!!

I have my first day of interning tomorrow and I can't wait! So anxious to start and its going to be a great experience :) Off to bed to get some beauty sleep, its going to be an early morn!

Simply Black & White

My first outfit post from NY! This is right around the corner from my apt in Brooklyn. I live in Brooklyn Heights, at the student apts for the Art Institute and I love this neighborhood! I had an interview with Donna Karan yesterday and wore this simple black and white outfit. I didn't want to wear anything that was too much so I figured black and white would be perfect. The long sleeve top I wore is Elizbeth and James that I got at a sample sale a couple weeks back. I'm so in love with it! The sleeves are silk and the front and back are incredibly soft. My first Elizabeth and James purchase and I'm let down one bit. I paired it with a F21 skirt and earrings, Dolce Vita oxfords, target tights and a H&M coat.

Oh and speaking of sample sales NYC has some amazing ones! When I went to Donna Karan yesterday I found out DKNY was having a sample sale. I got four sweaters and a jacket all for $50 bucks! Will share in a post tomorrow, can't wait to wear them! I desperately needed sweaters for the winter in NYC so it was a perfect find :)

This is a new nailpolish by Sally Hansen called Blue Ice that isn't in the stores yet that I'm trying out. Its nail polish strips kind of like minx and I'm absolutely obsessed. Theres not drying time it lasts for up to 10days! So far, so good :) Would definitely recommend them.


So happy its the weekend! About to go out for a few drinks with the girls in the city and I have all day off tomorrow. The first Sunday I've had off in a while and I'm excited for a Sunday funday in the city :)

Have a great weekend!

Alive in NY

Hello world I'm back! Its been over two months since I last blogged but I'm finally getting back into the groove and boy have I missed it :) I recently moved to NY the beginning of October and I'm absolutely in love with the city. I'm so happy I decided to move to NY to attend fashion school and chase my dreams in the city of my dreams. Design school is going wonderfully and I couldn't love the school more. I recently met with a buying firm and will start interning next week! I'm so excited to get real life experience and attend NYFW for the first time this February! Ahh I'm sooo excited =D

So since I'm finally settled in NY I can get back to the blogging world and will update regularly. Here's some pictures of my first couple months in the city. Mostly I've been consumed with work and school but I do love to explore the city and have a little fun when I can. Hope you enjoy :)

Central Park.

New Dolce Vita oxfords that I got for a steal! Love them and they're great for walking around the city in :)

Season are one reason I wanted to move to NY from FL. I love the colors of the trees in the fall.

Central park in the Fall is my favorite!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I went home to FL and I was so thankful to be able to see all my friends and family! Enjoy your week and check back for more updates soon.

FNO 2010 NYC

NYFW started off with a bang with the largest fashion show at the Lincoln center. Over 200 models and lots of fashion were to be seen. Unfortunately I wasn't in New York early enough to attend the show, but if there's one next year I'll definitely go! I however did get to attend FNO and it was so much fun! I drank lots of champagne ate chocolate covered strawberries while shopping the night away. So looking forward to FNO 2011!

Have a fab week everyone!!

red hot

So as I said in my last post, yesterday night I enjoyed the night off with a dinner date with my bf and some close friends. We caught up over margaritas, calamari, brushetta, and yummy Italian food at one of my favorite restaurants. It was nice to spend some quality time with the bf and catch up with great company.

Red is a color I'm loving for fall and this skirt is from F21 that I got for $5! I wore my F21 skirt with an Alexander Wang T, Steve Madden wedges, Michael Kors watch, and F21 necklace.

I got these wedges at Macy's while I as in NYC. Originally $130, I scored them for $25!! I was so thrilled when I went up to the cash register and these babies were over a $100 off, what a steal!

The draping on the back of the Alexander Wang T is my favorite part about it. It's so soft and just effortless.

Off to catch up on Gossip Girl before bed. Night!

Street Style NYFW

This week I'm dedicating a post a day to NYFW and LFW! Starting off with a little street style from a few of my favorite fashion icons at NYFW. The collections and shows of NYFW are the main focus, but the street style from many fashion forward ladies is icing on the cake! Love seeing what all the fashionable ladies are wearing to the shows, as well as the collections themselves :)

Via Vogue.com

Had a long weekend of working and this week I will start prepping and packing for my big move to New York! Life is going to be much different in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to start a new life in the big apple :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend! The only time I had off was last night and I spent it with the boy. We had date night at one of our favorite restaurants and caught up with some close friends. Will post outfit pics soon!

nyc photo diary

Two weeks of no posting and I'm back!! So busy leading up to my trip to NYC and finally finding sometime now after getting back Sunday to update. I had a great time with one of my bests visiting Manhattan. I visited the Art Institute where I will be starting Fashion Design school in two weeks, saw my apartment that has a great view of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, attended FNO, visited the Lincoln center, ate lots of great food, and of course explored the city and had tons of fun. Can't wait to move to NY in two weeks. The months leading up have flown by and I can't believe I only have two weeks left in Florida, but I'm so ready for a change of scenery, life, and especially the weather! Here are a few pics from my trip last week, hope you enjoy :)
