WHITEOUT

WHITEOUT

The little white dress – the perfect piece of clothing for Spring & Summer, and a necessity for this year’s Bal en Blanc! As I already mentioned in a previous post (here), hippie chic is the go-to attire for this infamous festival! I put together two looks that surely rise to the occasion. Lace & cut outs – it’s all bout the details. The perfect accessory to highlight the boho look is a fedora or a floppy hat and of course booties. I’ve been to Bal en Blanc a few years ago and trust me when I tell you: comfort…

GEOX – NEBULA COLLECTION

GEOX – NEBULA COLLECTION

Walking on clouds; this is how I feel in these Geox Nebula sneakers! Hands down the comfiest shoes I have ever put on my feet aside from slippers. I know, I didn’t believe it either, everyone claims to have made the comfiest shoe, but trying them on just for a second convinced me. Made from a piece of heaven… just kidding, but serious they could be! The breathable technology, flexibility, cushioning, stability, grip & light weight make these shoes quite unique! I picked the grey & pink color for Summer with the thought in mind that I will be travelling to Europe…

MOVE WITH ARDENE

MOVE WITH ARDENE

Healthy eating & working out – whatever it takes to fit into my wedding dress! In addition to that, two other things motivate me to workout: 1- Not fitting into my clothes (terrifying) & 2- new workout gear (exciting)! So, last week, wearing the new MOVE collection at Ardene, I hit the weights in full swing & I already lost 2 lbs! :) This collection is all about comfort; the t-shirt, leggings & bra are stretchy & easy to move in. The color blocking, vibrant hues, criss-cross backs & comfy sneakers are all the range right now & nothing looks…

COUGAR BOOTS

COUGAR BOOTS

Real winter boots – never owned a pair. No, it’s not a joke and yes I do live in a city where it snows quite a bit! The reason is quite simple you see; I never found a pair of real winter boots that looked stylish. No offense to all the designers, but then again, maybe you should be offended and do something about it?! Lol. After years of wearing sub par stylish boots, I stumbled into these Cougar beauties called “Tasty Shimmer”. Trendy black lace up boots, which are both: warm and water resistant, super easy to clean (just…

WINTER WONDERLAND + SALE

WINTER WONDERLAND + SALE

Snow is magical, even if winter is not. Last night, coming out of the grocery store, we were surprised by large snowflakes falling down on the parking lot and I was in awe at how beautiful it looked. It made me forget the struggles of winter – there really is beauty in everything :) It was snowing this weekend as well, and the amazing thing about snow is that it occurs during mild temperatures, so it’s actually really pleasant to be outside (for once…). So, taking full advantage of the scenery, we shot my favorite lookbook so far :) This fabulous…

EYE CANDY – MAKEUP I’M LOVING

EYE CANDY – MAKEUP I’M LOVING

I’m a makeup addict. I don’t like the word hoarder, I prefer: makeup collector! Yes, I had to go to Ikea last week to get a drawer unit to store my makeup palettes, nail polishes, brushes and other treasures… I love to discover & try out new things and I never leave the house without makeup or a polished nail…and FormulaX is my best friend when it comes to nails! Honestly, this is the most long lasting & fast drying nail polish I have ever used! I usually apply two coats and let it dry for about 5 minutes before…

WOMEN POWER

WOMEN POWER

All success begins with confidence. When you posses confidence, you can achieve pretty much anything! Trust me, I know. Throughout my life, I had to face many obstacles. I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I had to work very hard to get to where I am today. I attribute it to my upbringing of course, my mom was a great role model, but mostly to the empowerment that confidence gave me. It has propelled me forward to obtain my CPA, CA degree (that I am proud to carry), to pursue a career in fashion like…
