4 day work week!  Woopwoop!  Hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend.  Even though its the unofficial end of summer the weather is hot, hot.   Summer does not wanna leave us, and I don't wanna see it go.  Wearing blazers and shorts for me is one of the easiest ways to start transitioning from summer to fall. 

 

Blazers, cardigans, or even a chambray tops can all be the perfect piece to wear with shorts or dresses, for those warm days and cool nights.  Just not tonight!  It's sooooo hot in NJ today.  Stay cool peeps!

Team Red, White, & Blue



3 day weekends are bomb.com!  Happy birthday America! 

 

I put this last minute 4th of July look for all you fashionistas that might need some ideas for the weekend.  I initially wanted to wear a red dress, but I was racing against Mother Nature.  The dress was so hard to iron, and it just wasn't working and the clouds were coming; so this girl said jeans and tee it is.  Maybe I'll wear the dress for a bbq I have on Saturday then I'll share it with you on Monday. 

When it comes to the 4th of July outfit ideas are pretty easy.  We all have a little red, white, and blue in our closets.  Casual is usually my go to for the 4th. (and life in general..lol)  I'm all about backyard bbq's and watching the fireworks.  I added a fun statement necklace and blue metallic strappy sandals just to spice it up a little.

Fin de semana de 3 días me encantan!  Feliz cumpleaños America!

 

Puse a último minuto un look para el quatro de julio para todos que nesesitan ideas para el fin de semana.  Al principio quería poner me un vestido rojo, pero yo estaba corriendo contra la Madre Naturaleza.  El vestido era tan difícil para planchar, y simplemente no estaba funcionando y las nubes se acercaban; y esta chica dijo camiseta y jeans es lo que hay.  Tal vez me pongo el vestido para una barbacoa que tengo el sábado luego compartere con ustedes el lunes.
Cuando se trata de el 4 de julio de ideas de vestir son bastante fáciles. Todos tenemos un poco de rojo, blanco y azul en nuestros armarios.  Me encanta los Backyard BBQ y ver los fuegos artificiales.  Me puse un collar divertido y sandalias azules de tiras metálicos simplemente para sazonar el look un poco.

LUCKYFABB DAY 2 & LULU'S BLOGGER MEETUP

Hi there sweets!

  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I should have posted this last week but I've been so busy. 

Day 2 of LuckyFabb was so different from day 1. 

First of all it was at the Condé Nast Building.  Home of Lucky Magazine and Vogue!  Forget trying to even get on their floor, security was tighter than at the White House.  

We had to pick our sessions for day 2.  My first session was "Beauty Scoope" with Covergirl, Pantene, & Secret.  I use and love all of these products, so it was super fun to learn some inside.

   

Selfie with Lissette during our session!

My 2nd session was with the awesome Leandra Medine from The Man Repeller!  I LOVE her blog!

In my eyes no one does men's wear like Leandra.  From slacks, to over sized coats; she brings it!
She was so funny and sweet!

After a morning of sessions, a few of us headed to lunch.  We went to HB Burger and it was yummy!

My burger was delish!

After lunch I had a street style session with Canon.  I was super excited to learn how to work my camera.  It was very informative!

LuckyFabb is just that.....FABB!  After all the sessions we took home the mama of all gift bags! We got them on our way out so I didn't take a pic but lets just say they were 70lbs.  So you can just imagine the insane amount of goodies we got! The downside?  Carrying that damn bag over 10 blocks through NYC!
   

 Oh look....I didn't even notice that you can see my gift bag in this pic.  Yup, it was huge!

Just like on my day 1, the party didn't stop there!  Some of us girls were invited to a private meetup with Lulu's, at STK in Midtown.  We had the opportunity to take a peek at their fall collection.  The other girls decided to change their outfits, I went the easy route.  Traded my flats for knee boots, and added a red lip.   Night time ready!

Thank you Stephanie and Lulu's for a wonderful evening and my fab coat!

I hope you enjoyed LuckyFabb through my eyes.  If you're a blogger and are debating whether to attend...just do it!  It was an awesome experience!  Can't wait till next year!

Thanks for visiting!  Have a great day!
