Beauty & Essex

Our weekend in NYC was a whirlwind. You already know. I think that's the best part of our friendship. Even though our lives are crazy busy, we always have time for each other.

Scraping by after 2 nights in a row of 3 hours of sleep, we knew we had to get full on glam to survive the evening before us. Upon a friend's recommendation, we made an appearance at Beauty & Essex. After being ushered in, we made our way up the winding staircase to where it was going down. It was completely packed, but we were clearly dressed to impress, for once we had grabbed our drinks, we were offered V.I.P. seating. No complaints here!

The majority of the evening we were our own entertainment as we were becoming delirious with exhaustion. din even claimed that she aided in a nearby couples' soon-to-be-someday "happily ever after". I guess we shall see!

Before heading out, we decided to dance to just one song. I mean, what's a birthday celebration without a dance?! To my surprise, din requested the DJ play 50 Cent "In Da Club". Next thing I know, both she and the DJ are smiling as din starts singing "Go shawty, it's yo birthday!" What followed next was an entire playlist of hits from our highschool years. We clearly weren't the only 30 somethings there because everyone was feelin' the music!

Thanks for making my birthday weekend perfect din! I wouldn't have had it any other way...well...maybe just a bit more sleep!

A New Decade

It's been two weeks since I hit the big 3-0 (and since our last post!), and I can tell you this new decade is feeling pretty good. I may have mentioned before that I'm not one of those girls that was sad to turn 30. After 3 decades of getting to know myself and fine tune, what's to be sad about? Finally, I feel completely confident in who I am.

And excited for what's to come!

So grateful for all of the celebratory gestures from my friends and family-- thank you! And, of course, opportunities to get glam. For this look, I wore a skirt that was gifted to me by my grandmother. She gave it to me a few months ago, but due to an illness I'm recovering from, I wasn't able to wear it. So glad I got to wear it on my big day because it paired perfect with my faux fur ($20 steal from Targét!) and Stuart Weitzman pumps.

I'm looking forward to seeing how my style evolves, if at all. Especially since no one seemed to believe me that I was reaching 30 anyhow. Good genes. Thanks Mom + Dad!

Sitting with a grateful heart.

Leopard

This weekend I got to celebrate my fabulous friends birthday. I don't know if anything gets me quite as excited as getting fancy with my friends!

The birthday girl was beyond glam and I didn't want to disgrace her, so I made effort to put my best foot forward. While I was in Cali this summer, I picked up a new pack of lip tattoos at Sugar Factory, this time in leopard print. I think they were so fun with my leopard print dress. My girl, Ginger got her dress from a local boutique, and she better keep watch over her closet because it's about to go missing!! Aren't we fancy!? Happy birthday Ginger!!

Positive Mindset

As much as I'm not a fan of the cold, I must admit that the fashion for these icy climates is fab! I think my two favorite things to wear in these times are boots and furs. After all, I'm all about trying to be positive these days, so why not celebrate these seasonal beauties?! What are your cold weather must haves?

Starburst

Hey Everyone! So this shoot was a little different, but so much fun. Chrystalain, my fab photog, wanted to try out new lighting and it resulted in photos that look a little Hollywood-esq. At least to us!

Another fun note about this look is the steal I found on this clutch! Never ever have I seen a black Hobo clutch at such a great price! (For a staple color, it's unheard of!) Also, the faux fur coat that you've seen me in before (here and here) was another great find-- it was free! It's definitely a vintage piece, but I don't have much information about it other than it's by a Sydney designer and the materials were made in England.

Are you wondering about my manicure? I've been over the accent nail for a while now, so it surprised me that I even thought of doing this at all. I just felt like I wanted one nail painted. Random! A few years ago, I remember a model having done this, so maybe the memory of that snuck back into my head.

Thanks so much for reading and checking out the blog. Be sure to leave your comments below. We love hearing from our readers!

Journey of a Dress

Feel like a woman, wear a dress! ~~ Diane Von Furstenberg

In honor of Diane Von Furstenberg's 40th anniversary of the wrap dress, I thought I would throw it way back to where it all started.

Last year my aunt bestowed upon me her vintage DVF wrap dress from the 1970's! How lucky am I to have an aunt that was just my size and with such impeccable taste?!
