Coach "Saffiano" City Totes

I have fallen in love with my new red City Tote from Coach. It is perfect for when I am traveling to and from the city from work or my internships. What I love most about my City Totes is the fact that it has a zipper. Being in the subways this is perfect. I don't have to worry about being pick pocketed while waiting for the train.

This bag is available in many other colors.
I love it!

Solving Kids' Cancer: Fourth Annual Spring Celebration

May 7, 2013 marked the fourth annual benefit for Solving Kids' Cancer. I was able to attend the event for work. It was truly a beautiful night. Being able to see the love that came out of such pain was beyond heart warming. It truly teaches you to value life and help others to do the same. Children are our future and they deserve to grow up.

The special guests included superstar fashion designer Donna Karan, actor Josh Lucas and mega photographer and host Nigel Barker.

MAC: Viva Glam I Lipstick

So I've become more daring with my makeup lately and I have been trying to find the best lipsticks that work for me. This past Friday I went to my favorite mall (Short Hills Mall - NJ) with my best friend in search for amazing lipsticks, and lip glosses. We headed for the MAC store!

We both picked up Viva Glam I! Check it out and tell me what you think.

Ode to Marilyn

Today I was inspired by one of my top fashion icons Marilyn Monroe. I picked up this oversized t-shirt at Forever21 and it was a done deal! Since Spring is struggling to come about I paired my tee with a pair of faux leather leggings, a spring jacket, and my Steve Madden hidden platform heels.

Striped Pants for the Curvy Girl ~

This look comes from my love for stripes! Today was a mixture of temperatures and I wanted to be comfortable yet still my stylish self.

I paired a sequin sleeve blazer with a flows black tank. Very true to my style I made my statement piece (the striped pants) the focal point. My hand bag is the new Coach city tote I have been using for a while now.

I hope you enjoy this post.

End of Winter: OOTN

As Winter is melting away I'm finding myself squeezing in those last few warm, layered, cozy OOTD. Last night I paired a black tuxedo style blazer (by Jones NY) with a black perforated faux leather peplum too from Princess by Vera Wang and a crazy pair of wide leg cheetah print pants. I was going to dinner with my three year old godson and the outfit was perfect! I hope you enjoy it!

Style Star: Kerry Washington

There is no doubt that Kerry Washington's style is desired by Scandal fans all over the nation. For the past few years you haven't been able to pick up a fashion magazine or read a style icon article without her picture being displayed or her name being mentioned. Washington invokes an untamable classic pinch of Hollywood mixed with her own personal glare whenever she hits the red carpet. So there is no shock that she is one of my style stars!

Kim Kardashian on the Cover of Cosmo

Kimberly Kardashian is stunning on the cover of Cosmo for this April issue!

Kim says, "I've always said that I wanted kids, but I don't think I ever would have been ready until now.", on expecting her first child with rap sensation Kanye West.

"Sometimes your just not ready...A person could have it all, and your not ready for it all...".

We all love her signature style and lust after her closet. As her empire grows we will be watching! Stay beautiful Kim!

Love Her!!!!!

My Mini Vacation

So with all of the hectic craziness going on in my life, from school work overload to never ending job hunt I decided I needed a vacation.

On my retreat I took the time to refresh my take on wardrobe, make-up, hair and all things beauty. Every once in a while you need to spend a bit of extra time on yourself. Take care of your skin, hair and nails. Before leaving I got a manicure, washed and set my hair and carefully packed my makeup essentials into my juicy couture travel makeup bag.

My outfits were simple yet uniquely me. I chose to wear prices like colored skinny jeans and printed tips with basic blazers. My shoes were designed by dynamic fashion designer Cristian Sciriano.
