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



 
 
 
 
Jacket: Super Glam News (not sure of the brand, sorry!) | Top: H&M | Skirt: Target | Shoes: Zara | Sunnies: Franco Sarto 
 
 
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!

Sooo late with this post, but better late than never.  During fashion week, I attended Lulu's Style Studio.  One of my favorite parties to attend during fashion week.   

Lulu's always throws a fabulous party!  Gifting suites, hair, makeup, and of course drinks!!!!!  








Thank you Lulu's for making fashion week so much fun! 


Later this week I'll share with you how I had the pleasure of getting beautified, by Serge Normant at John Frieda in NYC! 

Have a great day sweets!

Dine with MDOLL



 
Hey dolls! 
Fashion week is over and Fall is officially here! 
 
Can we rewind just a little....I'm not ready for dark days and cooler nights.   Summer I'm gonna miss the crap out of you!  I am looking forward to a new season and a fresh start.   Especially here on the blog!  I'll be bringing new exciting content like beauty posts, DIY projects, and lots more.  Super excited for what's come!
 
Fellow blogger and friend Martha from MDOLLNYC invited me to dine with her, to kick off fashion week and it was fabulous!  The dinner was held at Bellini Italian Restaurant, the food and décor were amazing. 
 
I didn't take lots of pics because I was snap chatting, but everything was wonderful.  And if your not following me on snapchat, get to it!

Smooth Transition



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Shirt: Old Navy (super old) | Shorts: Wet Seal | Flats: Zara | Handbag: Gift | Sunnies: Five Below
 
 

It's Fashion Week!!!!
 
Can't wait to see all the new trends in store for us!  Like always, I won't be attending any shows because of work, sucks I know.  I do have a fashion week events lined up, so stay tuned!
 
Today I'm slowly transitioning into fall, a very slow transition.  Especially since it's still 90 degrees here in Jersey. 
 
Button ups (or are they called button downs?) blazers, vests, and denim jackets are some of my favorite pieces to work into your wardrobe for an easy transition from season to season.  Pair them with cut-offs and flats like I did for a pre-fall, still too hot for pants look.  LOL! 
 
Have a great day and Happy Fashion Week!

Skirts = Happiness



 
   
  

 Hey dolls!  Happy September! 
As promised here is my skirt look featuring this beautiful necklace from Hapiness Boutique.  If you missed it, I wore this necklace and tee last week with jeans and I couldn't decide if I wanted to wear the skirt or jeans, so I did both.  I prefer the jeans look but I do love this skirt!  Which is your favorite?  See the jeans look here.
 
Have a great day!

Happy Friday!  Doing my happy dance!!! 
 
Spending some time with my nephews this weekend which should be interesting to say the least.  I love spending the day with them, but we know how teenagers can be.  Lol.  If you want a behind the scenes look at my crazy self, follow me on Snapchat!!

Today I'm talking accessories!
Statement necklaces are always a great option to dress up any basic outfit. 
How fabulous is this one from Happiness Boutique!  As soon as I saw it I knew that I wanted to wear a basic white tee.  This necklace is anything but basic so I wanted it to stand out on its own.  The problem I had, is that I couldn't decide if I wanted to wear jeans or a skirt.  So I did both!  Next week I'll be wearing the same tee and necklace with a skirt.  I think I like the jeans look better but I'll let you decide.
 
Statement necklaces are still huge for Fall and I think their great for those days that you want to look cute, but not overly dressy.  Throw on your jeans (or a skirt), heels and this beauty and your good to go! 
 
Skirt look up on Monday, stay tuned!
 
Have a great weekend!

SuperStay Better Skin Challenge




 SuperStay Better Skin Foundation c/o - Influenster

 
We all want better skin.  OBVI!  I had the opportunity to test Maybelline's new foundation SuperStay Better Skin, and let me tell you, I LOVED it. 
My skin actually feels smoother and even brighter. 
 
Maybelline's Super Stay foundation is an all day flawless coverage foundation that improves your skin and unevenness.  It also reduces the look of spots and dullness.  It contains ACTYL-C, a more durable form of vitamin C.  Its a medium to full coverage foundation.   
 
Ok so the first thing that I loved was the pump, so easy for application.  I also noticed that it goes on super smooth.  I was scared that the color wouldn't match my skin tone, but it was perfect.  Its super light weight and it really covered my imperfections.  Plus it has SPF!  Soooooo important for your skin!  After wearing it for a few days, I actually felt my skin smoother.  I don't know if you can tell in the before picture, but my forehead was breaking out so bad and its clearing up!!!!  I even see a difference in my eye area.  I always use a primer and a setting powder, especially during the summer.  All in all, I was truly impressed and will purchase this foundation again.  If you have problem skin, I think you should definitely give it a try.  You can get a $2 off coupon on Maybelline's website!
