SLAY-o-Ween
Okay, I know, I know. That title.
Totally cheesy. But it’s October 28th and I’m putting together some last minute, easy-to-recreate Halloween looks. I guess a last-minute title fits the bill?
I teamed up with my favorite affordable fashion brand, Fashion to Figure, to create a lookbook filled with Halloween goodness to get you ready for this weekend. I know babes are on a budget and let’s face it – some Halloween costumes are CRAZY expensive – so it’s always nice to have a f

Lingerie is for You
For some reason, we’ve started to believe that lingerie is for someone else. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone underwear shopping at the mall with friends only to hear them say:
“I’m single, who am I going to wear that for?”
“My boyfriend/husband doesn’t care about that!”
“Nah, I think I’ll just go with the cotton set – nothing too fancy. It’s just for me.” This breaks my heart. Which is why I’ve decided: today I’m going to solve this once and for all. Ladies, ling

How To: Keep Your Resolutions
I’m a big fan of resolutions and of celebrating New Year’s Eve. There’s something to liberating in intentionally taking time to examine your life and your direction and allowing yourself to make changes or improvements if need be.
I think a lot of people dislike the New Year’s Eve resolution bit because more often than not, the resolutions fail and it starts the year off in a negative way. I mean, you can’t feel successful and capable if 3 days in, you’re already failing, ri

Greige
It’s true that outfit inspiration comes from everywhere. And this weeks look were born from that concept. The idea for this first one came from one of the new Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks from ColourPop’s new release. The shade called Trap is the ultimate in cool girl lippie: a beautiful soft greige shade that warms the face and is downright inspirational. As soon as I opened the box and pulled out the lip color, I knew exactly what to pair it with: my matching greige heels a

Part 2 : Glam in NYC
Backstage was some version of organized chaos. On the surface, it seemed like everyone was running around in a mess of tulle, makeup and in some state of undress. But when you looked closer, every designer had their station, every model was readying for her turn on the runway and the make-up artists consulted the stack of face charts for each look.
An assistant checked me in for my showcase and thrust a lanyard over my head to grant me access to backstage. I walked past secu

Weekend Chic
The athletic trend continues into 2015, and I couldn’t be happier. While my go-to weekend look consists of casual jeans and sweaters, joggers force me to try something new. How to take the super casual garment and make it chic? I decided to go for classic black – in the shirt I wore (which is my favorite shirt of all time, and it breaks my heart that Halogen doesn’t make it anymore) and the heels and bag I paired them with. I grabbed my blue mirrored Ray Ban Flash Aviators, a

Fall Into Autumn
I don’t know about your Facebook feed, but mine is alive with dreams of colored leaves, pumpkin lattes and apple picking. Seems safe to say that everyone is (im)patiently awaiting autumn to arrive. Count me among that group. I’ve already swapped out my summer beach-inspired candles for warm, spicy scents and moved my sweaters from the back of my closet to the front.
The transition time between seasons can be a sartorial challenge, so I wanted to share some of my recent finds
