Rounding up a few white summer dresses today. I recently purchased this Vince wrap dress which inspired me to write this post. I'm including a mix of options with different price ranges, lengths, etc. While I may not be able to purchase all of these gorgeous white dresses, I suppose a little window shopping won't hurt, will it?

As much as I love dressing up, I will always be jeans and tee type of gal. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of previewing American Eagle and Aerie fall collection. AE is launching a new line of curvy jeans and let me tell you they're extremely comfortable! I love the light wash, high waisted denim, with distressed details (77% cotton, 12% modal, and 9% polyester). I wasn't sure if the denim would be stretchy so I went with size 8 but, I could've easily sized down to a 6. The fitting is a little loose but, I don't mind it. I styled it with this gorgeous new Anine Bing tee that I recently hauled and Fendi Zucca bag. This is my very first pre-loved bag, and I'm so happy with my purchase. I've been dying to get my hands on the Zucca bags, and I found the perfect one on Fashionphile.

Hello! I recently went on a blazer spree, and I ended up buying quite a few pieces probably more than I needed to. Today I'm going to share how I styled this very budget-friendly blazer two ways. I kept the blazer and bag as the main focus for the first outfit. I styled it with a nude midi dress from Zara and my new Nanushka Minee Croc-Effect Belt bag.

For the second outfit I had to attend an event so, I kept it casual and wore a black tee and high waisted jeans. I'm a jeans and tee kinda girl so, this is how I normally wear my blazers on most days. I sized down for the blazer if you're petite I would suggest doing that as well, or you can size up for an oversized boyfriend blazer look. The quality is excellent for the price, and it's also very on trend.

Happy Monday!! So excited to begin October and work on my fall/winter capsule. I recenly had the pleasure of visiting Etienne Aigner office for a sneak peak of their upcoming Spring 2019 collection. I loved the handbags which will be available on january 2019, I'm including photos of a few pieces that have caught my eyes.
Etienne Aigner also gifted me a beautiful sock booties- in cordovan calf suede. The chunky heels makes this booties super comfortable for day to day wear. The athleisure inspired style features a navy patterened strech gore panel with racing stripe at the ankle.
I paired the booties with a navy blue knitted maxi dress which I purchased last year from H&M. I really like the flute sleeves and the backless detail on this dress. It's the perfect dress for a fall date night!
"Aigner shoes and handbags are distinguished by luxurious materials, artisanal craftsmanship, multi-functionality, and signature hardware. Enduring hallmarks include the iconic logo–an “A” refined to resemble a horseshoe–and use of materials such as fine cordovan leathers from Italy and hand-woven textiles."
Hello, Fall! I'm beyond excited that fall is finally here well, I should say almost here cause New York weather is quite bipolar. Ok, enough about the weather let's talk about this gorgeous new Anine Bing blazer I recently purchased. I purchased it a few weeks ago, but I was waiting for the weather to cool down. I love the oversized blazer trend, but since I have a wide shoulder and a fuller bust I can't really pull off the oversized look so, I sized down and bought the size- M. It still felt roomy and slightly oversized yet structured just the look I was going for!
For the 2018 Met Gala “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”, celebrity makeup artist Beau Nelson created a glowing and feminine celestial look on Kate Bosworth using Chantecaille.
Beau was inspired by Byzantine paintings from the Eastern Roman Empire. He wanted Kate’s beauty to emulate an ethereal, monochromatic look from that era.
"I would describe this look as monochromatic. The color palette consisted of nude rose, rosy taupes, and soft beige pinks.” – Beau Nelson
Skin
1. To prep the skin, Beau applied the newly released Gold Recovery Mask ($270) on Kate’s face and neck to revitalize and refresh Kate’s skin, and applied the Gold Energizing Eye Recovery Masks ($195) to brighten and rejuvenate her under eyes.
2. To moisturize the skin for long-lasting hydration and a natural radiance, Beau mixed together Rose de Mai Face Oil ($185) with soothing Magnolia, Jasmine, and Lily Healing Emulsion ($120).
FACE
1. For a creamy natural base, perfectly matched to Kate’s skin tone, Beau combined Future Skin Shades ($78) Ivory, a pink tone with milky Alabaster.
2. To set the base and prepare the skin for high-definition cameras, Beau brushed on HD Perfecting Powder ($75), starting at the center of Kate’s face.
3. Next, Beau primed Kate’s cheeks with universally-flattering pink Cheek Gelée in Happy ($44), and then brushed Philanthropy Cheek Shade in Laughter ($40), a warm peachy pink blush. This cheek shade is embossed with coral and benefits the Marine Conservatory Biology Institute.
4. Beau highlighted the high points of Kate’s face with the L'Arbre Illuminé Palette ($75).
EYES
1. For the eyes, Beau dusted Lasting Eye Shade in Coriander ($26) onto Kate’s Lid.
2. Next, in the crease, Beau applied Mermaid Eye Matte in Elephant ($34), and then Mermaid Eye Matte in Lion ($34) on the inner corner of Kate’s eyes.
3. For perfectly full, face-framing brows, Beau enhanced and polished Kate’s eyebrows with Waterproof Brow Definer in Ash Blonde ($36).

Mother's Day is probably one of my favorite day of the year. I always wake up to my husband and daughter making a ruckus in the kitchen, and it's sweet to see them work so hard for the breakfast in bed tradition. Being a mom has taught me so many things, and it really makes me appreciate my mom for all the sacrifices, and hard work she had to endure raising me and my siblings. I try to treat my mother every other week with a small gift but for Mother's Day, It's nice to go the extra mile and spoil her for the day.

This bag also comes in silver color.
- Card Case- I will forever recommend card cases for all moms! I received a Chanel Card Case a few years ago on Mother's Day, which I still love dearly. I hate lugging around big wallets and since I mostly carry mini bags so it's the best option for me. Another option would be Louis Vuitton Pochette I have a few that I picked up during my vacation in Hawaii. I use them as a makeup bag it holds all my essentials. I have a blog post featuring the LV pochette and you can see how much It can hold here.

Here are a few options that I'm eyeing here, here and here.

Happy Friday! Spring has sprung, and I had to take advantage of all the pretty blossom trees so, it was only appropriate to shoot this dress on this location. I felt this sheer lace dress went perfectly with the pretty trees. This dress was under $40 it's very well made, and it has beautiful embroidered details with scalloped trimming. I think this will be a great dress for summer weddings or parties since the fabric is very comfortable. I'm 5'3, and the dress is a bit long for me so, I had to pair it with high heels. I went for the classic Christian Louboutin Pigalle in 100mm.
