Most of the items are from J Crew of course.... And others are simple beauty necessities. That is why i have named this post Summer Favorites because they really are my favorites.

Fourth Of July Outfit

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 !!

Key Pieces That Every Woman Should Have In Her Closet

pieces that Every Woman should have in her closet



If You are the kind of shopper that I am that instantly enters a store and sees something that you think you need and ends up buying it and never wearing it. That is basically me.  That is why I have a shopping problem. Probably too many other young woman out there also suffer from the same problem as I. I understand perfectly that Is why I came up with a list on my fashion journal, key pieces that every woman should have in her closet. Us Woman tend to buy so many crap, we do. It is the truth is time to put on our big girl panties and accept that sometimes we over buy. We see something and we attack like a predator. because we think we need it and if not we will plan an event just so we can wear what we bought. being a senior in college means that after I graduate I will NEED A JOB. I have included in my "must have in the closet" list,  a couple of items that would be great for me and you, not only for a job interview but also for a casual day, dinner party, relaxing weekend or even if your traveling. This list is perfect for the college student, mother, wife, sister or neighbor It will help all of us not over buy or pack when we are traveling. So here i go.

The little black dress also know as (LBD), I think every woman doesn't matter what age or size should have an appropriate black dress. It's great for interviews, for a night out or simply if you don't know what to wear one day, just  rock the LBD. The LBD has saved me from so many fashion catastrophes. I always have it clean and pressed for those moments when I need a little help. And the good thing about it is it makes you look thinner,  which that's a plus and is also a neutral color. 

The Classy Trench Coat- My mom always tells me that a Trench coat makes you look more elegant and well put together It also wraps your waist which creates a waistline and makes you look more feminine. The trench coat is perfect for the rainy days but also for fall, spring I actually use mine all year around I just add more layers. It is great for your everyday life.  

Your Everyday Blazer- Lets just say that I live in a blazer. I do ! My blazer is my best friend.  It is great if you want to look professional, and also great for day and night. you can wear it with anything. from dresses, skirts, jeans, trousers, leggings, you name it. I think this is the one thing a woman should invest in getting a good blazer that will last long and you know that where ever you go you can take it with you.

The Perfect pair of jeans- Now, I included a pair of denims, they are not a light or dark wash but medium. I always have a pair of Medium denims, why? because again it goes with anything also I buy them regular length and skinny or straight. That way I know that If I am planning a weekend getaway or just go grocery shopping  or even to the movies I have many options. I am not only stuck with one idea. I can style it many different ways.

Nude pumps- Elongate your legs, go with every outfit, great for day and night, also very classy shoes. Enough said couldn't summarize it better. 

Casual Comfy Flats- Great for everyday routine, good for work, school or tired feet. I always carry a pair in my handbag you know just in case.

Perfect day to night bag- This bag is perfect because you can use it different ways, you can carry it as a messenger bag but also as a normal hand bag is good for everyday and is a bag that you can transition from day  to night because it's a medium size bag. 

Emergency, Yet classy Blouse- Yes I call it the emergency blouse not because i am going to the hospital. but because It is white,  again a neutral color, it goes with everything and when I need it she is always their to rescue me. 

I think if we all have these items in our closet we would always be happy with what we have and not feel the urge to buy a new item every time we have an event. Each piece is versatile and can be worn different way's, you just have to play with it and see what looks better on you. Although I have included mostly  high end products you can take this as a guide to what you want to find. Their are many affordable nude pumps, trench coats and little black dresses under 100 dollars.

Enjoy and thanks for visiting !!!

Powder Rooms and It's Elegance


 

Have I mention before how obsessed I am with powder rooms. I know I say the word obsessed so much on my other post but I truly am obsessed with Crisp, Clean, Traditional and Elegant Powder rooms. I always tell myself when I buy my first home one day the first thing I am going to make sure is that I have a nice laundry room and a gorgeous Powder room. I just love the saying that word it sounds so chic and elegant. You know us ladies always have to go and check on our makeup or hair. I always think of the classic films from the 1950's the ladies would go to the powder room to wash their hands and check on their makeup. I found these gorgeous photos on Decor Pad, and Instantly I though to myself I have to do a post about Powder Rooms.

Ballerina Outfit Inspiration

Ballerina outfit style

I Once wished to be a Ballerina. I remember being five and telling my mom I wanted to be a ballerina dancer, because my friend in school attended ballet. It only lasted for a week. I only attended  3 classes and that was all. I remember my mom being upset at me because she had spent money on my tulle and ballet shoes. I was fascinated more by their outfit and hair style then learning the dance routine. Now that I am an adult I am still fascinated of the Ballet lifestyle. I mean it's so elegant and classy. I was searching some stores and I saw a couple of tulle skirts and shoes that go together with the "Ballet Trend". I got inspired and here are some touches that you can include in your daily lifestyle like the Chloe flats they are adorable definitely on my wish list, You can always do the ballerina bun. I love to do this bun for dinners and days that I want to have my hair up. I hope you get inspired like I did and include a little of a ballet style in your daily life.
I am really in love with this Tulle skirt from Anthropologie It's on my wish list. Check it out !

Celine Phantom, The Bag of the moment !

This Bag has me drooling is my current obsession. Everywhere I turn or look someone is carrying this bag. I love how open and spacious it is. The price is around $3,000. It is very high end but totally worth it.  You can find the bag at Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman or at the Celine store. Many celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and socialites have this bag. It's perfect for the fashionable city girl that carries her life in a bag. It is classy, Elegant and beautiful. Definitely on the top of my most wanted list.  

P.S I don't own these pictures got them online.

Gifts under 50 featuring kate spade J.Crew flannel sleepwear / ASOS / Kate Spade / MAC Cosmetics / Kiehl's lip care / L'Occitane / Marc by Marc Jacobs marc jacob / NARS Cosmetics / Diptyque 'roses' Scented Candle

Christmas is around the corner and I hate to do last minute shopping. Living in NYC can get pretty crowded and I am not the type of person to stand in long lines or battle to get an Item So I started looking online what I can get.
As a college student I am constantly on a budget. I have many female cousins and friends, and I always love to buy them a little something. I did my research and these are some items that you can give to your girlie's and really  affordable for any kind of taste. Remember that you're buying for them not for you, and have an open mind of what they might like and invest on something that could be for the long term.
