♥ Fall Shoe Trend ♥

Fall is just a few days away, and I've teamed up with The Mills At Jersey Gardens to share my favorite Fall Shoe Trends!
This year its all about making a statement!   Florals, Glitter, extravagant embellishments, lots of color (especially red), the moto boot and of course....sky high!
 

                 CHUNKY BLOCK HEELS

We all love the ever so popular "over the knee" boot and these by Vince Camuto are pure perfection!  Super glam but the chunky heel makes them comfortable and versatile.

         FLORAL BOOTS 

Flower Power!!  Calling all girly girls!  Florals are here to stay!  Take any edgy outfit and make it feminine and fun!

        COMBAT BOOTS

At first glance they can be intimidating but I ended falling in love, fast!  Combat boots are back in a big way.  With a feminine twist like velvet and rainbow glitter; like these Dr. Martens.  They are high fashion! 

Dr. Martens available at {The Mills At Jersey Gardens}

Treasure Hunting

Jeans: Rainbow Shops | Sandals: C/O- Banana Republic | Handbag: Zara 

Who doesn't love a good bargain?!
I'm obsessed with the kimono style trend that I've been seeing everywhere lately.  After shopping around online, I noticed that they can be on the pricey side.  I decided to visit my local thrift store and found this gem.  I was lucky enough to have found 2 for only $4!  
Thrifting is an economical way to find fashion treasures, and try new trends without breaking the bank.

Summer Sweaters

Sweater: c/o Day, Brightened Sweater in Lime | Skirt: c/o Charming in Chambray Midi Skirt

A summer sweater should be lightweight and easy to wear.  The neon green hues and pointelle-dotted knit makes this one from ModCloth perfect for those unpredictable days, just like the ones we had last week.  It felt like fall here in Jersey.

Dash Of Red

Happy Friday and happy SUMMER! I'm so excited for my first summer with the baby.  Little AJ is 6 months old now, has two teeth, and is already crawling!  He's even trying to stand.  He thinks he's such a big boy but he's still a little peanut.  As for me, I'm great!  Now.....

The first few months of motherhood was super challenging.  The sleepless nights were hard.  Thankfully I had a great support system.  My best advice for any new mommy, take it one day at a time.  Everything is temporary!  Believe it or not, the days and nights :) do get better.

This is my first style post since having the baby and I was super nervous.  I'm not at my desired weight yet but, I'm happy and that's all that matters.  I'll get to that "number" but for now, I'm just enjoying it all.  Even the extra pounds!

For this post I thought I would take a classic like black and white, which is one of my favorite color combos and summer it up! 

I added a pop of color with my new block heels from Target.  What's summer without a little color?!?!?!

My off the shoulders top is from Tobi.  They have the trendiest pieces you'll love!  We all want to show a little skin during the warmer months and a little shoulder action is flattering on everyone.

Reina Rebelde

Hi Sweets!  Happy May!
Today I'm celebrating Latina beauty with Reina Rebelde which means "rebellious queen" in English.  A new beauty line that celebrates the unique beauty of Latina Women.  
Reina Rebelde was born out of something I share with all Latinas — a passion for makeup and extreme pride for my cultural identity. I’m driven by knowing that today’s mujer can’t be defined or placed in just one box,” says  Regina Merson, Founder and CEO. 

   Let me tell you, I'm obsessed!  The line is bold and sexy but also super feminine.  The packaging itself, is a work of art.  

 The colors are gorgeous!  Bright pinks and bold reds!  The lip color stick in "Rosa Salvaje" is my favorite.  The names were inspired by attitudes that every Latina woman can relate to.  This wild pink is perfect for Spring. 

Another favorite was the "On your face + Color Trio in Coqueta, which means flirt.  The face contour color trio includes a pearl rose blush, matte bronzer and pearl white highlighter.  The perfect face palette to take with you on the go.  

You'll also love their 4 Play Wet/Dry Shadow Palette and the Rebel Eye Paint for those perfect brows.   There's lots to love about this line, no matter your heritage. 

Get 10% off on ReinaRebelde.Com  using "MELISSA" at checkout. 
Treat yourself to some new makeup!

I'm In LOVE With The Coco

Hi sweets!  I've missed you!  Mom life has been challenging and keeps me super busy, but I wouldn't change a thing.  Mom life is the best life! 
Today's post is all about HAIR!  I get a ton of questions on what products I use to maintain my curls.  I always start with a sulfate and paraben free shampoo and conditioner.  My hair is naturally dry and these chemicals can strip the natural oils making my hair even dryer.  I have to keep my hair moisturized at all times.  Deep conditioning and oils are a must!  My favorite?  Coconut oil!  I use it for everything.  
SheaMoisture's new 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Hydration Line is ahhhmazing!  It's my current fav!  It's made my hair healthier and shiny.  The leave-in is a miracle spray.  I spray it before styling and my hair feels super soft and manageable. 

  SheaMoisture has been my go to brand since I became naturally curly 2yrs ago.  Not only are all their products natural, but this coconut oil line is color safe!   
My hair is in LOVE with this stuff! 
My current styling products and even a style post coming soon!
