Outfit Remix: Nicole Miller Red Lace Dress
Outfit Details:
Forever 21 Jacket | Nicole Miller Dress (gifted – similar) | Zara Shoes (similar) | Ray Ban Sunglasses
Remember this little red lace dress from last week’s post? Well you all know that I love a good remix challenge and as much as I loved dressing up this piece with a faux fur jacket and strappy sandals, I wanted to see if I could change the look of it a bit by throwing on a casual, oversized denim jacket and a pair of my favorite pumps. I really loved the outcome and even think my adidas sneakers could look super fun and fresh with this look, for the right occasion. Anyway, let me know what you think! I would love to know how you guys would remix this dress to make it more of a “wearable” piece. Let me know in the comments! xo

As I am sure you all know, Krystal and I went on a cruise with Celebrity Silhouette in mid-March and I’ve been working to edit down all the footage I took during the week we were away. It’s basically a bunch of snippets compiling my favorite parts from the trip so I hope it conveys how much fun we had!

Little White Shirt Dress
Outfit Details:
J.Crew Hat | Illesteva Sunglasses | Forever 21 Choker | OAK Shirtdress | Zara Heels (Steve Madden version) | JustFab Clutch (gift)
I picked up this shirtdress back in late February from a store downtown called OAK, but it’s been too cold to wear it, at least with bare legs. Instead it’s been hanging in my closet waiting for warmer weather to come. So when the cruise opportunity came up in mid-March, it was the perfect chance to finally style it up just the way I wanted.

P.S. I felt like Carrie Bradshaw in the episode where she falls in the lake in Central Park and then she wears Mr. Big’s dress shirt home. Do you guys remember that episode?!
P.P. S. I’ll be sharing my recap video of the cruise on Thursday, (you can subscribe to my channel here) so make sure to check back in! xo
Little Red Dress
Outfit Details:
Karen Walker Sunglasses | Top Shop Faux Fur Jacket (I love this one) | Nicole Miller Dress (gifted – unfortunately mine is sold out, but I also LOVE this one) | Zara Shoes (similar)
You all know I love red – I wear red lipstick, I have red bags, I love red stripes. However, weirdly, I don’t own a really nice red dress. So when Nicole Miller asked if I wanted to wear one of their dresses to their event last week, it took me all of five seconds to settle on this gorgeous lace number as my final choice. I love the glamour of it and how it comes across as the perfect statement piece. But with that said, I took on the challenge of “dressing down” this piece a bit to see if I could make it a bit more casual, so stay tuned for that look later this week! xo

VIDEO: Travel Edition, Get Ready With Me (On A Cruise)!
Hi everyone! Lately, I haven’t been embedding my YouTube videos on the blog, but because I am doing major catch up right now, I wanted to at least share this Get Ready With Me video with you guys in case you wanted to see how I did my makeup on the cruise press trip!
BUT, first off, I want to write a huge DISCLAIMER about something…I had NO idea that the background music would be SO loud! Because I had some issues with the format of this video, it definitely didn’t sound like that when I was editing it, so I apologize if you can’t hear me over the music or if it’s just plain distracting. That was definitely not my intention.
Luckily, it’s a visual breakdown of me getting ready and fairly self-explanatory, so if you would prefer, just turn the sound off! :) You can check out all the products I used, which are linked below and follow along that way if you’d like.
Anyway, thanks for your patience with these silly glitches, but hey you live and you learn right?! :)
Ok, so now onto what this video is actually about! I was lucky enough to go on a press trip with Celebrity Cruises for a week long excursion to the Caribbean.
It was so much fun and I am actually in the midst of editing my travel vlog, which documents the whole trip, so stayed tuned for that to come soon.
The night I created this video, we head up to the very top deck to The Lawn Club Grille for dinner where we proceeded to participate in a pizza making competition! I actually ended up winning with my pepperoni, caramelized onions and mushroom combination! It was SO fun.
Anyway, I guess I just wanted to share how I wore my makeup during the cruise as well as what I wore to that dinner. :) Hope you enjoy, don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up if you liked it, and leave any questions you might have, below! Hugs and happy Friday! xo

My Hair Story: 7 1/2 Years Of Cuts and Colors
Now that I am blonde again, which I haven’t been since college, I started thinking back about all the different hair styles I’ve experimented with since I began blogging, 7 1/2 years ago.
I’ve had my hair long, short, shoulder length, bangs and then long again. I’ve also had light as well as dark brown hair, auburn hair, ombre hair and now currently I’m a blonde! It was really fun to dig into the archives and see how different I looked throughout the years, and remember what was going on in my life at that time. I scoured my Flickr account and was able to select and then group together all of these photos in order from 2009 to now, so it’s chronological, which makes it fun to see.
Anyway, I’ll let the photos do the talking. Hope you enjoy! xo
(Sorry about the quality of some of the photos – one or two of them were already sized much smaller so I had to make do with what I had available.)
Also, me with bangs at 32 and at 28…

Back In New York But Missing The Caribbean…
Just wanted to say a quick hello and to let you know that I am currently working on the full recap post of my week long trip with Celebrity Cruises to the Caribbean! I landed Sunday evening and then had a fun video shoot yesterday, so to be honest I haven’t even had a moment to unpack let alone go through all the photos and videos I took on the trip. But I can’t wait to sort them and also pull together and edit the YouTube video I am going to create this week for you guys. So! Lots to look forward to, but in the meantime, here are a few photos I snapped on my phone last week. Hope everyone is having a happy Tuesday so far and as always, thanks for stopping by! xo
See more fun photos from my trip on my Instagram!
