J.Crew Celine Esque Bag

                                                                        Check It Here !

Hello Gals long time ago I wrote a post on this Celine bag because I was obsessed with it. Well since I live on a budget due to that I am a recent college graduate trying to move to a new city that means I have to save as much as I can so I couldn't buy the bag . I still brag about the Celine bag but another Celine handbag that I love is the Trapeze bag. It is gorgeous and spacious but is way out of my budget. 

I decided to give up UNTIL I saw this bag at last week at J.Crew while I was just roaming around the store. I literally had to stop and the first thing that I thought was CELINE it looks like one and it almost has the same design it is called the GOODWINN BAG. 

I was afraid to look at the price but they are under 200 dollars. I mean they are not as big as the Celine bag but it fits a lot of things and I can use it as a cross body bag you can dress it down or up. AND I WANT IT ! I think the price is great and it's gorgeous. Which one is your favorite ?

Simple and Summery

tee  /shorts /flip flops / purse / hat / sunglasses/

I am a girly girl and love to put on some heels and a fun dresses  but for most of the time in the summer I love to rock my denim shorts and a simple tee. I went on a mini weekend getaway with my best friend and the first thing I packed was my favorite denim shorts from JCrew. I think you can dress them up or down. 

As I said before I am all about being comfortable and especially in this summer weather.  This is my favorite summer outfit it's comfortable, easy going and casual for the city. Especially those flip flips their an upgrade of your everyday flip flops.

Their is one thing here that is driving me nuts and it is the bag. I have recently seen a lot of girls in the city with this bag. It its simply gorgeous i have seen it on Olivia Palermo I just think is a must have. I was looking for it and it was sold out every where but I finally found it. Can't wait until it arrives.

Summer Party Outfit

Hello Gals, this weekend was super fun. I went to my first summer party and let me tell you that I had so much fun the conclusion of it is that my feet still hurt from so much dancing. When my cousin/ Best Friend invited me to the party two weeks ago I got so happy. I had to start thinking what I was going to wear and of my  hair and makeup. I planned an outfit that   was pretty , summery and very classy. I hope you like it I included a ponytail because after my first dance I had my hair in a ponytail it was so hot and my hair doesn't do very well with hot places. the ponytail looked actually pretty nice because I had beachy waves so it still looked great with my outfit. Happy Monday !

 1,  2 , 3,  4, 5 , 6

Hey Dolls ! On Monday I forgot to tell you a bit o f this past weekend so here it goes. It was super fun I went on a  mini road trip with my friends which included pizza and beer two things which I haven't had  over  four months yes I know ho dare I but it's due to my new eating habits but once in a while I am sure it won't do any damage. On our mini road trip we had so much fun we sang our lungs out, told stories, talked about boys and of course fashion. I was telling my friends that I want a pair of white shorts so that's why today's Inspiration is  about white shorts. White shorts are the perfect shorts for the summer you can basically wear it with anything and that's why I love them. You can  dress them up or down. This is how i would pair it up super  easy and and great for this summer.  I'm on the hunt for the perfect white denim shorts. I really like these bad boys. What you gals think ?

Fourth Of July Outfit

Happy Fourth of July !!!!  we cannot forget the day that America Declared Independence.  Being born and raised in NYC I remember being with my parents and going over the Hudson river to watch the Fireworks. They just looked incredible. What I also love of 4th of July is people's creativity on how they wear the American Flag Colors on their clothing, from Nail designs, to hair pieces or simply what I am doing here I have created a little inspiration for girls like me that like to represent the colors of their country but in a subtle way. Today on July fourth my Mom and I will be in the city well because one of the biggest things that i love is the fourth of July sales....I am going to check out a couple of stores and after that I will be attending a casual fourth of July BBQ with  friends and family to celebrate this gorgeous day.

I hope everyone enjoys Fourth of July !!

Simplicity of A Friday Outfit !

 maxi dress / sandals / tote / watch /  pendant / sunglasses /nail polish

TGIF ! Thank God Is Friday Literally this week has been a bit hectic for me. I have been running around attending different interviews and also working long hours. Thankfully Fridays are more relaxing....although I still have to work full day.  As I said before on my other blog post that in the summer I hate wearing a lot of accessories due to that my skin doesn't cope very well in the summer and also because I don't want to feel like I am over dressed or have too much on. That is why I love to wear dresses especially maxi dresses, a pair of flip flops and hit the streets. This is the perfect outfit that identifies my not so busy Friday on a hot summer day. Thankfully these past couple of days have been extremely nice and not raining or cold. I hope everyone enjoy their weekend.

Casual Outfit for the Summer

 tank / sandals /  tote /  bangle /  earrings /sunglasses

June has finally arrived that means hot summer days and many iced coffees. Yep I am addicted to ice coffee. As a New Yorker I know summer gets pretty bad . I try to use as much as possible cotton clothes or light clothing pieces and very minimal with my accessories. I want to be comfortable and not feel like i have too much on.  This is my typical outfit on a hot summer day. Its chic and casual.

So.... what it your typical summer outfit ?

Relaxed Spring Day In NYC

Hello Girlies I hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend. My weekend consisted of yummy pancakes from Clinton St Bakery and days with a lot of laughter and shopping (making damage).  This week is more relaxed and finally is not raining

 So i decided to go with my friends to the Met Museum and have lunch at Central park. I just love laying a Turkish towel on the grass and sit down chat and  wonder around. Of course with a super relaxed outfit. This is my inspiration, this is how I am feeling right now with a twist of elegance. I hope everyone enjoy the last couple of days of spring before summer hits up.

Memorial Day Weekend Getaway...

 dress /  pajamas / shoes / Monogrammed duffle bag / hat / Sunscreeen

I don't know about you ladies but I love weekend Getaways especially Holiday weekend getaways like the one that is coming up. Memorial day usually the three day weekend because everyone is off work. I remember being a little girl and my parents driving with my aunts and uncles and cousins to outside the city to upstate New York to the lake or to Nantucket or Cape Cop. I loved it. 

I remember my mom putting so much sunscreen on that i looked so white. This Memorial weekend I am staying home although I will be dreaming of being in a sandy beach. But I will have cousins over and I am sure I will have as much fun as I i was on the road. I decided to do a board inspired one of my trips and also to inspire you gals if any is leaving the city and going on a getaway with family and friends and of course i couldn't forget the Sunscreen. 
As my mom always says is better sunscreen than being all itchy and burn. Have Fun !!

Peach Color For The Summer....

                                    dress /  shorts /  shoes /  jewelry /  lip gloss / nailpolish

We are only a couple days away from summer. Are you gals ready, well I am. I can't wait to sip on some Piña Coladas and let the my skin get glowy from a tan. But what I cannot wait to is to rock the color peach in the summer imagine tan skin and peach nail polish on your toes equal cuteness. The color peach is a light coral color that looks great with every color skin.  I love wearing corals shorts with a nice white lace shirt and a pair of sandals.  I think it looks great and its a lovely soft color. So before the summer gets here check out some coral pieces and jump on the coral trend.

College Graduation Gifts....

I Can't believe I am graduating in one day. After four years of hard work, waking up early, reading so many books, writing so many papers and finally preparing my thesis the day is finally here. I have to admit that I am so nervous I guess because one side of me still wants to be a student and the other side is scared to confront the real world, the job market. With this economy it is so difficult to find a job in your field but I am positive that I will find a job in the journalism field. But let's leave that aside for now and lets think about Graduation Gifts, As most of you that will be also graduating from college and will be like me trying to find a job and that means applying for different job positions. I have here my top five gifts that are on my "Graduation wish list" that are great and useful. 

I think is great to have a card case because you need to keep your business cards organize and in one place. I have learn that business cards are great for networking. Networking is a great way of connecting with many people.  

I included the new J crew bucket bag one because is gorgeous but also because it's spacious it's great for traveling, if you have a job it fits a couple of things and you can also use it as a cross body bag and is neutral. 

A camera It is great for graduation day but also now that you will be free you might want to go on a weekend getaway with your family or friends and how nice it is to look back at those fun memories.

One of the other gifts I included was the Kate Spade Planner I think it is important to use a planner in your daily life. I use one since I started college and I cannot live without one. I need to organize everything and have everything planned out if not i will be a mess. It will be great for us entering the job force, and the last product I have is another Kate spade product but this time a watch. I think is good to have a watch that way you don't have to use your phone all the time to check what time it is and for some reason i find people look more professional wearing a watch. well this is my list I hope you guys like it and Congratulations to everyone that is graduation this year and is part of Class of 2013 !

Fashionable and Beauty Obsessions Of This Month

nude sandals /Leather bag / necklace / linen scarf /  fragrance / nail polish

I have gathered a couple of  fashion and Beauty obsessions that I have been stalking this month. As you can see mostly pastel, nude and bright colors. which are  great for spring. I went last week to Sephora I needed to purchase a couple of beauty products. When I went in the store  It smelled delicious I asked one of the girls that worked in the fragrance department and she said it was this Tom Ford perfume. I have to say that it transported me to the french riviera. It smells great clean and fresh and I WANT IT ! Have a nice weekend beautiful ladies

It's Time To Takeout The Espadrilles.........

Hello Ladies this week while cleaning my closet for spring I found a couple of old espadrilles that I have gotten throughout the years. I said to myself I think is time to take the Espadrilles out. Not only are they comfortable but also classic, chic, trendy and great for spring and summer. I love both styles. I love the espadrilles with the wedge heel. They look so cute, I think they are great if you want that extra height. But I have to admit that my favorites are the flat espadrilles I take them with me on vacation during the summer, great to rock them with shorts, dresses and jeans.

Easter Brunch Outfit

 dress /  sandals /handbag,  sunglasses

Easter Is finally here. I remember being a little girl and wearing a new beautiful dress for Easter, my mom would always buy my outfit to go to church in the morning then we would have brunch with other family members. As an adult i still get all happy to rock a new outfit for Easter and have brunch with my mom at our favorite place in the city.  I think this is the best outfit for Easter it has a touch of floral and it's great to pair it up with a pair of coral sandals and a neutral bag it's the perfect chic spring outfit for this Easter. What is your typical Easter outfit ? leave a comment.

Well Hello There Spring......

jeans / Zara sandals / bag  necklace,/ lipstick / nail polish

Hey Gals Happy Spring ! ooh I am so happy that spring has finally arrived. Spring has given NYC today a gorgeous sunny day even though is a little chilly it's just gorgeous outside. When I hear the word Spring It screams in my mind CORAL !!  I have always had a color crush on this perfect salmon color for the spring it gives the perfect touch to every outfit and it's just great for this colorful season.  Now that spring is here I can't wait to wear my wedge sandals, colorful dresses, white pants which I love and coral lips oh and cannot forget the  fresh flowers from the market. Ah don't you love Spring ?!

Sunny Weekend Style

 

 I am so happy that this weekend has been sunny and in the fifty degrees. We had a couple inches of snow this past week in NYC but it cleared up by Friday night. I feel like Spring is around the corner well I hope. This set is inspired by the weekend as I said before it has been a bit chilly but not that cold so why not take out your weekend jacket out for a trip. A typical weekend outfit for me on a nice sunny day would be a pair of boyfriend jeans, comfy sneakers like the Supergas and a light army jacket. Although I am a girl that loves to wear big bags, once in a while I prefer a cross body bag like this Coach one isn't it adorable. I think it's easier if your going to the farmers market or even have a casual lunch date with your significant other or even on a shopping spree. It's Comfortable, relaxing and is fashionable outfit but at the same time careless. Enjoy your weekend  !

March Fashionable Wishlist

 denim jacket,  / wedge sandals / Cross body handbag / Bauble bar jewelry / spring scarf / nail polish

Hello Girly girls, I am back with my March wish list, as you can see I love pink. I think that these pieces would be great for Spring. Hopefully soon I will hide my winter boots in the closet and wear a nice pair of sandals or cute wedges like these J crew ones,  aren't they stunning. I am also in love with the pink target cross body bag and guess what is under 30 bucks what a total steal.

Winter Blues

 swimsuit / flip flops / hat / sunscreen / Book / towel

I don't know about you ladies but I am going through the winter blues. I am craving a little sand, water, sun and why not a frozen margarita. I wish i could be somewhere in the Caribbean or even better in the french riviera. I guess because it's winter and I'm all covered up in a puffy coat with mittens and scarves I have the desire of feeling the sun on my eyes and walking on the beach while my feet get soaked in the sand. Although it's not summer yet I am counting the days till I graduate because my best friend who is also graduating from college and I want to plan a trip possibly to the Caribbean so as you can imagine I can't wait. But I mean who said is two early to go shopping for a summer vacation. This set that I made it's just perfect for the fashionista that wants to spend a day relaxing at the beach or pool area. I included a Turkish towel just because it's more soft and I like it more  when I am laying down in the beach. In the meanwhile I will dream of these lovely pictures.

XOXO Andrea
