I'm sure all of us will be traveling during this holiday season. Some very important things to remember while traveling are 1) comfort and 2) cuteness! ;) Those Tom's are some of the cutest MOST comfortable things you will ever put on your perfectly manicured toes. Plus they give your outfit that little pop of heel that you need.

I always like to wear a watch while flying because I'm usually crossing time zones. This little beauty from Kate Spade is a great wardrobe staple goes with everything! Doesn't hurt that it's so darn cute.

Another thing that is a necessity while traveling is a comfy, warm, adorable, sweater. Both of these sweaters from Dorothy Perkins  are perfect for the job. They have that adorable little something extra that just makes you smile :)

Let's not forget all the bags us ladies need. That makeup bag? Yes, please?! How cute is it? Yes, I may or may not currently have an obsession with bows... And then you of course need a bag for your Vogue, your new favorite book, and all the other little do-dads to make your travel better.  :)

Safe travels my lovelies!

Black and Gold | Night Out

There is just something about a black (sparkly) dress, stud pumps, and gold accents that makes a girl happy. I think the earrings say it all, "Ta da!" This is the kind of outfit that you wear and all eyes are on you when you walk into the room. You're even a dazzling fashionista when you pull out your phone! Who could resist this? Then you have that little pop of red on your lips and fingers that just brings it all together.

Wear this ensemble to a black tie event, a night out on the town, or your upcoming Christmas Party! Be sure to let us know how your outfit came together! 

Sandy

Wow. Some disaster this woman has created! (Why does every hurricane have to be a woman?!) Thankfully all of my family and friends have made it trough safely, although some are out of power/their homes. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who weren't so lucky.

Sandy did affect me a little. In the sense that I was unable to complete my cleanse! (Which wasn't a bad thing since I was absolutely miserable!) we had bought our juices while in New York over the weekend and then our next shipment was supposed to one to the house, unfortunately because of sandy it never made it. :-/

I don't know why the cleanse was so much harder this time! Maybe my resolve just disappeared or something? I don't know what it was. Probably has something to do with the dreary, awful weather that is going on. I swear I have seasonal depression. Haha.

Anyway, hope you are all well!
Ciao bellas!

Cleanse - Day 1

Hey guys. Man it's been a long time. Whoops! Well life has gotten just a little busier than it was when I started this. I'm loving it, but I literally don't have a spare minute.

This morning the kids got school off because of the Hurricane. Even though we aren't in it's direct path there are still anticipated power outages and high winds. Better safe than sorry.

Anyway, we're doing the Cooler Cleanse again! It's day one and I find myself sitting her drinking a delicious concoction of sweet greens. (This is one of my favorite's of the juices) It is a compilation of kale, spinach, parsley, watercress, and apple. Delish! And I'm not just saying that - it really is good. I can't remember at the moment but I think that we have 6 drinks a day? Basically one every two-three hours.

It isn't one of those 'starve-yourself-till-you-loose-an-unhealthy-amount-of-weight" kind of cleanses because you really aren't starving yourself. You get about 1200 calories a day (in all the good things) if you drink every one of the servings. I usually skip out of on the 'milk' (which is usually brazilian nut or almond milk) and it is the one that has a lot of calories - intended to tide you over for the night. But that's just because I don't really like the taste. Haha. The only adjustment is getting used to not chewing your food. Which believe it or not, is really really hard.

So there you go. There is my lowdown on my cooler cleanse. It's great - I would highly recommend it. If you live in New York or another big city they probably sell the juices at your corner deli. If not head on over to the website and order your own! It's a little pricey but I think that helps to motivate you to stick to it. If you're feeling like a cleanse - try it! :)

I'm Back!

Oh my goodness! It has been so long since I've written! I have had zero time lately. 

Two weeks ago I got a new job, a new city, and lost my man. Well, I didn't actually lose him, he just moved far away and it makes me very sad. So all the time that I do find in my harried schedule is devoted to talking to him - and that's usually only for about 30 minutes. 

Anyway, such is life. I'm going to try to get back into writing more often now that I have sorta got a handle on my schedule. 


UPDATE: I'm doing a cleanse. As we speak. 

I'm on day two of the cleanse and so far today is better than yesterday. It is a juice cleanse and most of the drinks are DELICIOUS! (surprisingly) 

I'll tell you all about it later but now, I have to get back to work. 

Much love mi bellas!

A lost friend.

Well it's not quite as dramatic as the title makes it sound but it is terrible. Last week my computer that I've had for almost six years died. :(


It was the most terrible thing ever. I was in the middle of a project and then, just gone. 


I found myself thinking, "I didn't even get to say goodbye!" As silly as that sounds, it's true! That computer got me through college and to where I am today! I didn't have any warning or anything, just suddenly, nothing.


Oh well, it served me well. But needless to say, that is the reason I haven't written in forever - still working on a fix to this problem. Haha. 


Ciao beauties! More posts coming soon! I have tons I want to write about =)
