Tchotchke: a small object that is decorative rather than strictly functional; a trinket. Do you know what I’m talking about now? Ha! Who else had no idea it was spelled like that?! I love receiving thoughtful little trinkets from my friends, so I wanted to share some of my favorites with you. You should never take for granted your girlfriends. The good ones are in your life through it all, so on Valentine’s Day, it’s so nice to give them something that makes them feel special. Since tchotchkes are technically items that aren’t functional, I wanted to throw in functional items too.…
Cheers to another very me (and I’m sure also very you since you’re here on the blog) Valentine’s Day look. Of course, it’s mostly black, ha! What can I say, I always revert back to what’s easy for me and you should too. This look is definitely more toned down than last week’s Valentine’s Day look but I think the wine cami adds some romance! I’ve been dying for a CamiNYC camisole forever now. Something that’s been on my to-do list for quite some time now is to shop in store more. Especially in small boutiques in my area (Westchester County). So…
In case you ever foolishly forget, I am never not thinking of you. By now you know I’m not the type of girl who likes to purchase something I’ll only wear once. Especially if it’s something expensive. Which means I’ll be taking a few things into consideration before I buy something special for Valentines Day. Of course, I want something new, what girl doesn’t want to look special for her besties or her boyfriend/husband?! But I’m certainly not going to break the bank for it and you shouldn’t either. This also means my Valentine’s Day style won’t be something pink. There are…
Styling staples can be tricky because if you wear a number of staples together, you end up with an average looking outfit. Which is fine if that’s what you’re into. But you’re here, so I’m guessing you’re looking to be a little more exceptional than your average, and maybe for a little inspo? Am I right? Personally, I think there can never be enough style inspiration for staples you already have in your closet. I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest, on the streets of New York City and in magazines and on their websites. You could say in regards to inspiration, more…
Jacket: ASOS (old) love this dark silver version Sweater: Urban Outfitters (sold out) check out this bold green stripe Scarf: Free People Grommet Leggings: Lysse, love this style too. Wearing regular size, small. Shoes: Marc Fisher Bag: Celine, affordable style Sunglasses: Amazon Is your least favorite item to go shopping for sunglasses [after bathing suits obvi]? That used to be me too. I DESPISED sunglass shopping. It was always so overwhelming and after a while of trying on, every pair started to look horrible on my face. Champagne problems, I know. But if you’re here and still reading I know you…
Put your goals on the internet so I know they’re real… There’s no better way to achieve your goals or resolutions in the New Year than to tell everyone about them. Tell your friends, family, roommates or if you’re a blogger, tell your internet family! This way they can remind you if they see you falling off track. And in return, if you’re friends tell you their goals, you should keep them in check too! Why goals and not resolutions? Mostly it’s a personal preference. I find that setting goals are mentally more realistic for me. Resolutions have become things I…
