Happy Friday! 

 

Excited to start my Christmas shopping this weekend.  Have you all started? 

 

I'm always that late shopper, hoping to get lots done this weekend.  I probably won't since my holiday office party is on Sunday.  I do have Monday off so maybe I can get some shopping done then, fingers crossed!

 

Another beautiful day means I'm living in knits and rips! 

 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

A little bit of everything...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turtleneck: H&M |  Jeans: Hudson |  Leopard Booties, Fringe Cardi, & Handbag: Target

 

 

 

December is officially here!  It surely doesn't feel like it.  The weather here in NJ has been glorious!  Sunny and high 60's, this fall has been amazing!  

 

I wore this outfit for a little holiday shopping over the weekend.  I'm literally wearing some of my favorite fall pieces.  Turtlenecks, high waist jeans, leopard booties, long cardigans & fringe!!! 

 

I have so many long cardi's in my closet and I love experimenting with different ways of styling them.  If you have a cardigan like this one that is short sleeve, add a turtleneck to fall it up!  It's that easy!  Now lets hope the weather stays this nice! 

 

Have a great day!

Knits, Fur, & Polka Dots

Knits, fur, & little polka = the perfect fall outfit!  

 

I know I sound like a broken record but it's soooooo true!  Fall is the season for layering!  Not only does it keep you warm, but layering can take your outfit to the next level. 

 

Add a pair of killer boots, or maybe a hat and your set to take on fall like a pro!

TREND REPORT: Fringe!

 

 

 

Top: 10 Spot | Jeans: c/o SCHOEN by YU Denim | Fringe Booties: Women's Feliz Fringe Ankle Boots - Cognac

 

 

Fringe obsessed?!  Duh!

 

Fringe was seen everywhere from the runway, to the red carpet, and on everything from bags, jackets, skirts, and of course boots.  If your not rocking it yet, you will be. 

 

Not obsessed like I am, my best advice is start with one piece.  Maybe a handbag, a poncho, or booties like the ones I'm wearing.  They are the perfect fringe addition without going overboard.  I scored these at Target for only $23!  A perfect way to embrace a new trend without spending a fortune. 

 

Happy shopping!

Happy Friday! 

 

This felt like the longest week ever!  So happy the weekend is here!

 

A few weeks ago, I was invited to the Serge Normant at John Frieda hair salon for a new fall look and a little shopping with SUNO. 

 

I love me some John Frieda products, (I can't live without my Frizz Ease!) so needless to say I was super excited for this event.  I was greeted with champagne, treats, and everyone was so nice and the salon was beautiful.

I didn't get anything drastic done on my hair, because after consulting with my stylist and letting him know that I've been heat free for 4mo. (can you believe it!) we decided to just tone my brassiness and break up my root a bit.  My stylist was so helpful and gave me a few tricks to keep my curls healthy and fabulous.  

 

After my five star hair treatment, we got to do a little shopping and the SUNO pieces were so bomb!  The midi skirts were so pretty, but I ended up getting a beaded top which I can't wait to wear. 

 

Thank you to everyone at John Frieda salon, and SUNO for a lovely afternoon! 

 

It's beauty Monday on the blog!  Sharing my current facial & moisturizer, so stay tuned.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Moto Blues

Happy Friday! 

 

I scored this fabulous moto jacket for only $15!  I attended a super fun event (Modern Latina Sip & Shop) in which you shop fellow bloggers closets.  I love to support my fellow bloggers and of course LATINAS!!!!  Thank you to blogger bestie Melissa from Super Glam News for the amazing deal!  Love ya boo!

 

Moto jackets are a great transitioning piece to take you from summer into fall.  These aren't your 80's moto jackets.  Fringe, zippers, shearling, and an array of colors make them super versatile and of course, badass!  Mine is a fun pastel blue, which is hard to see in these pictures, but it's perfect for a pop of color which is why I wore all black.  I'm not one for all black everything, I love to add color! 

 

Soon on the blog, I'll have a beauty post in which I'm talking about a new skin care line, that I'm in LOVE with, an outfit post wearing fringe (I'm fringe obsessed), and of course my experience at the John Frieda salon.  Lot's of fun stuff, stay tuned!

 

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Croppin It!

Happy Monday! 

 

Don't put those crop tops away just yet!  Ok maybe soon, but since it's still fall you can totally still rock them by just adding a white button up.  The floral pattern on this one from Target is so girly and fun!  I added black jeans and burgundy booties for that dark floral look.
