Loving Florals!

So, as a woman who lives in neutral colors and shies away from prints, I have to admit that I am totally digging the floral trend right now!!! Can you believe it? I have also become obsessed with mixing patterns. It can be so unexpected... and take a great look to a fantastic level!

I have always loved Parker dresses. They are super flattering and comfortable. I fell in love with this floral long sleeve dress because I knew it could be worn on its own or with a blazer (similar)! I paired the look with velvet heels (similar) and a gorgeous star print Rebecca Minkoff clutch (on sale!). This look is sophisticated and shows how mixing patterns can be so much fun!!

LipSense - Holiday Beauty Must-Have!

How many lipsticks, glosses, lip liners, and chapsticks do you have in your handbag? Be honest. LOL. I have way TOO MANY. I feel like I am always looking for the perfect shade of lipstick or one that lasts long and doesn't smudge. Well, I found it!! It's called LipSense and Bombshell Cosmetics told me all about it!

I chose "Aussie Rose", which is the the prettiest color and is perfect for during the day or at night. What is so amazing about LipSense is that it comes in so many colors, is super easy to apply, and is long lasting! Who has time in their busy day to constantly reapply lipstick? Your LipSense package comes with 3 glosses. 1) Liquid Lip color (it is recommended to apply 3 coats.... 2) Moisturizing Gloss (worn alone or over lip color).... 3) OOOPS Remover (Just in case you draw outside the lines...LOL). You have to try out this product! Reach out to Lauren Williamson at Bombshell Cosmetics and find your perfect LipSense shade...and just in time for the holidays!

Pink Bomber Jacket!

I am in love with Scatto Clothing! This is a new website that has super cute outwear, tops. dresses, and much more. I love the bomber jacket trend and I have been collecting them for a while now...so, you can only imagine how excited I was when I found a pink satin bomber (runs big) on scattoclothing.com.... and for only $58!!

I decided to go with a "Pink Lady" theme and grabbed amazing black skinny jeans from Madewell, a black blouse from Shop MInt in Mattituck, NY and leopard heels (similar). This is a perfect look for day and night. All you need is a heavy coat over top for the cold temps we are having! This pink bomber is a must-have, and would make a great holiday gift for your girlfriend, friend, or daughter - and at a great price!

Veronica Beard!

I am in love with Veronica Beard's current collection!! The patterns are gorgeous and the detail is amazing. And I love that her pieces can be worn together or separate with other pieces of your current wardrobe.

This look is actually a top and a skirt! So pretty when worn together, but also great apart. I recently wore the top with skinny jeans and heels and the skirt with a cream sweater and booties! Since colder weather is finally upon us, for this look I chose Dolce Vita boots and a cropped fur coat (similar style, similar style). This look is chic, fun and warm!

The Perfect Men's Gift - JORD Watch

Who is done with their holiday shopping?? I'm not! I have so many people to shop for this holiday season and my husband is definitely the most difficult person! Can any of you relate? Most of the things he wants or needs, he just buys himself, leaving me with no gift ideas! The past few Christmases we didn't even exchange presents. And, I'm super bummed about that (my list is long LOL)! So this year I decided to surprise him with a JORD watch. He loved the one that I bought in the Fall, so I knew it would be a perfect gift! I love the entire JORD watch collection so much that I decided to buy my father and father in law a watch too! 

What is so fabulous about this JORD watch is that it is totally different from any other watches my husband owns. It is made of wood and truly looks like a piece of art! He can wear this watch every day to work, and even to a dinner party - it's super versatile. Since there are so many styles to choose from at JORD watches, you can shop for anyone from your husband to your friend! AND it's your lucky day, because you have a chance to ENTER TO WIN a $25 off coupon for your very own JORD watch! Contest ends December 19th. Oh, and one last thing, I plan on borrowing his watch all the time! There is nothing better than an oversized watch on a lady (see photo below....LOL).
