DIY Silk High Waisted Shorts - Simplicity Pattern 1371

Tuesday, December 30, 2014

I'm the biggest procrastinator when it comes to sewing. I could have the fabric, thread, zipper, and pattern all ready to go 1 month in advance, but I will wait literally 2 DAYS before the event or article of clothing's big debut to start making it. Yet somehow, someway, it works out. & believe me, I am NO PRO - I haven't mastered starting a sewing project without my mother's push and help. She's my sewing mentor. I totally drive her up a wall when I do this, but she's a saint for putting up with me.

What's better than receiving a gift wrapped up in a little blue Tiffany & Co. box?
A brand new pair of Nike Free Runs in Tiffany blue! :)

My Solstice Sunglass Boutique Experience

Sunday, December 28, 2014

For Christmas, my boyfriend bought me a pair of Michael Kors tortoise mirror lens sunglasses that were a tad bit too big. Since I'm a nut, I decided to drag him to the mall on a Saturday 2 DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS to get my matching MK tortoise watch and bracelet adjusted at the actual Michael Kors store.

I asked if they could bend the ends of my new sunnies to fit around my ears better and prevent them from falling off my face, but unfortunately they just sell sunglasses and do not have the right tools for making adjustments to them. Off to Sunglass Hut we went.

Missing Mexico

Friday, December 26, 2014

5 days ago, I had the pleasure of being my boyfriend's + 1 to his job's annual Christmas party. Now this is not your ordinary corporate holiday bash - this was a 4-days-3-nights all inclusive celebration in Cancun, Mexico.

A Very Merry Christmas

What are YOU wearing for Christmas?!

Hope Santa treated everyone like Kanye treats Kanye :)

Nasty Gal Jumpsuit - My DIY Sewing Inspiration

Thursday, December 18, 2014

I'm obsessed with rompers, jumpsuits, playsuits, whatever you prefer to call them. No matter the season, no matter the event. I don't care if taking them off is the extra 20 seconds that may cause you to pee yourself. They are one of the most fabulous articles of clothing a girl can own. 

The 10 Commandments of Happy Hair

Wednesday, December 17, 2014


So the relationship between you & your hair is on the verge of a painful break up. Your hair has a problem with every little thing you want to do, but you'll do anything to try and make it right.

Coming from the girl who colors her hair every three months, I'm not going to lecture you on why dying your hair is horrible for you and how you need to put an end to that right now. I get it - it's hard to be content with your natural hair color. It took bleach-to-my-ends in order for me to wrap up my collection for The 10 Commandments of Happy Hair:

I ❤ Feedback

Trend Alert: Retro Clubmasters

Tuesday, December 16, 2014

For the longest time I've been loyally committed to my 2 pairs of Ray Ban aviators. Since then, I couldn't imagine myself in any other style. Although I always envied the trend, I never had the lady balls to try on cat-eye shades, or any round sunglasses for that matter.

If you've ever splurged on a pair of Ray Bans, then you know once you go RayB's you can never go back. I really loved the look of Clubmasters because are the offspring of aviators and round sunnies, but I wasn't trying to splurge on something I wasn't 100% about.

DIY Christmas on the Beach Card

Monday, December 15, 2014
I've been hand-making cards for so long that I didn't even realize how expensive they actually can be. I totally encourage you to be completely creative by making your own cards in honor of the holiday season, and other seasons to come.

DIY Gingerbread Getup Tutorial

Sunday, December 14, 2014

This past Saturday I attended NYC's annual Santacon for the very first time - not to mention two years overdue! If you've ever attended a Santacon, you know the competition is real as to which Santa wore it best.

My Radio City Christmas Spectacular Experience

Friday, December 12, 2014

It's almost been 24 hours since the start of Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Spectacular that I saw for the first time, and I still cannot get over how fabulous this experience was. I was raised as a gymnast, my mother grew up as a dancer, and I would always hear her talking about The Rockettes. She had never seen the Christmas Spectacular, so my father treated his three girls to the show last night.

Purple Shampoo for Ombré Hair

Wednesday, December 10, 2014

I've always been a dark-haired kinda chick. Brown, burgundy, deep purple, dark red, jet black... Been there, done that. After graduating in May I decided to treat myself to an ombré. I wanted something subtle since this would be a drastic change for me, but I knew how unflattering a light brown would be once the color faded out 2 months from then.

Metallic Mason Jars

Tuesday, December 9, 2014

...3 weeks later and my cubicle makeover is still in the making. Slowly, but definitely coming along. Since this little renovation involves a ton of Pinterest inspiration, printables, online ordering, photo process of elimination, glossy paper, and a significant amount of silver metallic spray paint, I've decided to share my favorite addition to my desk with you.I'm a little ridiculous feeling the need for a bouquet of silk flowers on my desk, but when you tell me to make myself at home I'll take my shoes off too.

My Daily Eyebrow Routine

Monday, December 8, 2014

Although I've heard nothing but great things about all the eyebrow kits and palettes that are one-by-one flooding all beauty stores, I can't seem to walk away from my day-to-day eyebrow products. These products have been my holy grail for the past 2 years. They're affordable and easy to find, so I've decided to share my secret.

Make a Statement Out of Small Christmas Gifts

Sunday, December 7, 2014
I know how it is to be a little lost when you don't know what to get someone for Christmas... we all do. As a crafty, yet broke, post-grad, I've always been all about the presentation. No matter how shitty you feel your gift is, make the outside count. You don't have to be excellent with wrapping paper to do this.

I'm the youngest of my family. I've come to realize that it's getting harder and harder to decide on a gift for everyone, so I'll go with the inexpensive small-gifts-but-a-lot-of-them. Sometimes quantity is more clutch than quality when you are stuck in a rut. To make up for this, I've decided that if my inexpensive gifts-but-a-lot-of-them are small enough, I will individually wrap them all and stuff them in plain Christmas stockings for each person.

Naked On The Run Palette

Saturday, December 6, 2014

After the release of the Naked3 eye shadow palette last Christmas, we have been waiting for Urban Decay to stun us once again by releasing the Naked4. You guessed it, Urban Decay has done it again... this time, even more ingenious, and Limited Edition.

#TBT: DIY Christmas Tree Costume

Thursday, December 4, 2014


In honor of throwback thurz and the first week of December, I am bringing back last year's DIY Christmas mixer ensemble. Sorority girl problems. While everyone else is dressed up as reindeer, snowmen, and covered in wrapping paper, bows, and Santa hats, you be the tree. This is the perfect idea to be the diva of Santacon or a basic ugly sweater party.

Macy's Friends & Fam(ily)

Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Today marks the beginning of Macy's Friends & Family! Now is your chance to splurge on 25% off high designer brands we love that are usually excluded from regular Macy's coupons, such as Michael Kors, Burberry, etc... Plus, who wouldn't take advantage of 25% off on top of all the amazing markdowns and deals that Macy's has to offer?

I'd LOVE to tell you all the great buys I just made by taking advantage of Friends & Family because the amount of savings are literally unbelievable... But then I'd be ruining some great surprises for some family and friends who might be reading this.
