April 2020 Book Club: What I am Currently Reading

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 21:35:00 +0000

And with that, we are quickly approaching April. I hope everyone is staying safe during the time of this pandemic. Remember to stay calm, work at home, limit being outdoors but be more creative and home and maybe get lost in a book. Books take on many forms such as: books for improvement, books for another world beyond our imagination, poetry for lines that force us to imagine and feel what the creator wants us to know and fill in the blanks and also cookbooks if you want to be the next Iron Chef. Stay Strong!

Here is my April 2020 Book List. Its shorter than March because my hefty goal for March didn't quite pan out and was not completed! I managed to finish 4 out of 6 books! So I am added my last 2 from March and these 4!

Kat's Pick #1:

Manners begin at Breakfast by Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece

Last manners book I read was an Emily Post book and childhood lesson books from my graceful mother herself and in the future I will probably teach my daughter the same thing to have in her arsenal.

Kat's Pick #2

How to Be a Bawse by Lilly Singh

I love a good self help and inspirational book, lets be bosses folks.

Kat's Pick #3

Summer Magic (Thorne Witches Book 1) by T.M. Cromer

Good little fiction series to start and get lost in during these times.

Kat's Pick #4

The Dressmaker's Gift by Fiona Valpy

Another fun fiction piece that I hear great things about!

If you end up reading any of these, please let me know what you think, for my community, I want us to engage in different philosophies and share thoughts, whether the book resonated with you or even if you didnt agree with something in the book.

Also share any more books you find interesting.

Top of the Top: Kat's Favorite Hand Creams for the Winter & To Use After Hand Sanitizer Sprays!

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Fri, 06 Mar 2020 04:40:00 +0000

I hope everyone is staying safe during the viral plague and washing their hands!

I know alot of hand sanitizers have been selling out and everyone is making their own concotion using aloe vera gel and 60%-90% Isopropyl alcohol BUT....

I understand that using alcohol can make your hands dry and using sanitizers and washing your hands alot causes dry hands especially during this winter time.

As we transition into spring from winter, I wanted to share some of my favorite hand creams or salves that I alternate between every week!

Some have more added benefits than others and all of them are not greasy at all, at least to me.

Kat's Pick #1

Sabon's Hand Cream in the Lavender Rose scent,

$27 at Sabon's site.

A really nice splurge for a relaxing scent!

Kat's Pick #2

Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Hand Cream,

$6 on Amazon or in person at CVS, Rite Aid, or any Walgreens Pharmacy.

Super Moisturizing and nourshing with Manuka Honey at a great price.

Kat's Pick #3

L'Occitane's Néroli & Orchidée Hand Cream

$12 for 1oz tube at L'Occitane's website.

Can also buy in the large tube. This one lasts a while and its a beautiful scent.

Kat's Pick #4

GNC's Vitamin A, D, and E Moisturizing Cream

$2.99 at GNC.com

One wouldn't consider GNC but they have some of the get moisturizers that you can use for Hand and face at a great bargain price and filled with vitamins! I also love the Vitamin C version to the cream.

Kat's Pick #5

Black Sheep's The O.G. (original). The Hand Salve

$10, Exclusively on Black Sheep's Etsy.com shop.

Its a thicker and more rich and moisturizing texture than regular lotion!

Stay safe, hydrated, clean, and moisturized everyone!

Beeh Finds: Stripes on Amazon/ Mixing High Low

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 00:32:00 +0000

I also love under the radar brands that promote good quality material and fits that range from fitted, boyfriend, oversized, and high rise.

Woolen Bloom is no different and this one I found on amazon after realizing how much Amazon Fashion has expanded clothing and accessory shopping, where as being a prime member, the shipping, returns, finding relatable items, and entire process of inventory to demand is incredibly well done.

Amazon is such a machine when it comes to find any and everything useful in your life. Now fashion is no different. Dont get me wrong, there is so much out there that you have to use your judgment, sift through and determine if its a fit for you and your lifestyle.

This striped sweater is a long time aesthetic and necessity in my wardrobe that I can buy stripe sweaters across every brand in different sizes, shapes, cuts, material, and colors and never tire of how I can mix it up.

In this instance, I love high street, low price but quality brands. Here, I mixed my Lanvin Sneakers with my Everlane Jeans, Acne Scarf, Gryson Leather Shoulder Bag and Woolen Bloom Sweater I found on Amazon.

Represents a cozy fit, colorful theme and an aesthetic where I can visit a museum and yet go out to Tao the next minute.

Curation Exploration: Feathered Earrings

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 00:23:00 +0000

Havent wrote in a while but going to start updating my blog now. Been so MIA dealing with everything else its so crazy but I want this to be my favorites of clothing and accessories, journaling, and media expression once again.

Lately I have been loving curated pieces ones that mix very well hi/lo and can cost relatively low or high just as the style.

One of those pieces that comes in many forms are feathered earrings. I love how versatile they are. You can go ultra whimsy with them or dress them up for work as that one eye catching piece that would be the talk of the hallway or at the water cooler.

Here are a couple of them that I really like and are just like the endless pairs I have. They come in mid-size, long or short forms.

Antique Feathered Earrings at Claires, $4.

Pastel Feather Earrings at Jematsea, for $14.

Kisspat Feathered Handmade Earrings at Amazon, for $11.99.

Shiver + Duke Brinson Feather Earrings at Shiver+Duke, for $82.

These are higher-end but the multi-strand are so gorgeous and the color is quite an earthy vibrant tone.

Stunning and gorgeous, as each piece you can find variety and uniqueness in. You can get them as multi-stranded as you like, fluffy as you like, or simple.

End of Summer Shoe Diary

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 17:59:00 +0000

It is all in the family, what I wore over the summer. From sandals to high gladiators to espadrilles to flats!

These were a great flea market find, Just Fab Gladiators at $10. Wore these on my weekend excursions to points out east or south!

Other goodies (clockwise): Tory Burch Sandals, Isabel Marante Etoile Espadrilles, Ella Moss Tapestry Flats, & Carole Little Monkey Smoking Slippers.

Love wearing those during excursions to the beach, during my internship, going out to One If By Land, Two if by Sea..., and walking in Washington Square Park, avoiding bird crap :)

The rest of babies: Vintage Crest Smoking Slippers, Canadian Leather Strap Sandals, Chanel Leather Espadrilles, Nine West Leather Espadrilles, Urbanology Padded Memory Foam Sole Sandals, and Tory Burch Studded Flats.

Great for when I had internship days, great for going to Morgenstern's for ice cream, and walking along the side street next to Central Park chatting with friends about Soho and Noho Hotties.

Of course, the need for Birkenstocks, these are the Arizona PVs, not leather but a great material thats comfy and not too hard on the sole.

Other random footwear that is great for those Sundays @6pm, when you decide to go to the west village for karaoke at a piano bar.

Very Cosmo.

#Wellness Goals: Daily Harvest

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 03:34:00 +0000

Been using Daily Harvest every other three weeks because my wallet cries sometimes, and I gotta say, it has been awesome!!

I love the smoothies, I love the use of lattes during morning and afternoon, and how healthy the combination of everything is.

Strawberry and Peach Smoothie! Can add some protein!

Nothing processed, all natural, many different ways you can prepare your cups!

Pineapple and Matcha Smoothie, delightful!

They are dried, stored in the freezer and easy to pop out and add a milk or water to get you going!

So yummy and is a long time staple.

Great for folks like me on the go for any meal with little to no time, or the opposite being my other lazy girl at home persona, where this is the easiest meal or snack to prepare!

I highly suggest the strawberry peach, matcha lemongrass latte, chaga chocolate latte, turmeric latte, and sundaes!

Aesthetic: Rips and Summer Lovin!

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Thu, 24 May 2018 21:56:00 +0000

I am loving how much warmer it is getting outside. This is a collection of the latest aesthetic I am into, though I dont want to call it the latest, as I have been loving this nearly my whole life, but it fits right now, what I am feeling to wear.

With summer internship season around, I have to find ways to wear business casual cooly. A nice rolled up button down shirt, silk tanks, and etc are gonna be the way to go. Lace up shoes and flats are the norm.

While the weekend, my errands and other free-time, I am maximizing my ripped denim, loose fitting, birkenstock, pretty feet, and minimalist or statement designer bag loving vibes.

Currently Loving: Foundrae Jewelry - Protection Pendant~

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Thu, 10 May 2018 20:54:00 +0000

I am loving the handcrafted and specially individual pieces that Foundrae creates, one of the pieces that I am dying to buy is the

Protection Enamel pendant

Image from Foundrae.com

I love the color, the idea of the protection in a different way from the Horus eye or elephant shaped jewelry pieces that have adorned our trend and classics jewelry lists since 2013. I love the shape of this one, I love the message behind it, and the fact that its 18k gold.

Real quality pieces like these will last you a life time.

I feel that its a collectable piece. You can wear it with anything or have it as a keepsake to pass down for generations to come.

Just In: J. Crew Cocoon Coat in Stadium Cloth Heather Grey #JCREW

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 23:33:00 +0000

This is a true J. Crew heritage piece, I always loved the idea of the warm and soft fabric being made in Italy at the Nello Gori mill for J. Crew, always seen the stadium cloth coats, the double cloths, andover peacoats and etc. Never bit the bullet because I felt I have enough coats and I liked J. Crew for other things besides coats.

Finally, decided to buy it on sale and for a good price as a cardholder for about $170 and change. Its still on sale here, the Cocoon Coat in Italian Stadium-Cloth Wool.

Its so sophisticated, soft, warm, the pockets so gorgeously positioned, and a great work-transitioning to-play, going out to STK be home at 11pm, kind of coat.

Even though its a heather grey color, its quite vibrant and bright! Its a lovely monochrome hue and the fabric isnt bulky that you can basically wear it with anything! No more mushroom lumpy bigga chic.

#NYFW - Son Jung Wan Fall 2018 - "Extreme Ways!" Diving to Maximum Chic Silhouetting! #SonJungWan

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 03:51:00 +0000

Son Jung Wan is always one of my favorite New York Fashion Week staple shows, the Korean darling brings classic design elements of the east to meet the silhouettes of the west, this time delving into Maximalism!

Here were some top stunners and my personal favs, I could wear the yummy dark coat with some jeans too!

Images as captured in real time by Rodin Banica

Meaning the styling creates a sense of fluff, there is patterns galore, all chicly fit the model and wish you could wear any piece and play around with it, as you see fit!

Son is knowing for mixing patterns like floral stripes with a brocade or chiffon tailored look or a yummy metallic piece against a lame material for a shiny sporty look. And the traditional tailoring. Omg.

Images captured by Rodin Banica

The interposing fabric play against a backdrop of a solid color that has a color patterned fur piece added for a funky chic look and the bejeweled platform shoes ready to make any outfit look like a cross between 70s and late 90s.

And some fab celebs delightfully said what weather and came through! Gizelle Bryant, my fav girl who knows the word on the street, from Bravo's Real Housewives of Potomac

Images by Douglas Overton

Next, you have long time staple of SJW's shows, Kelly Rutherford, known as Lily from popular young adult book into drama adaptation on CW, "Gossip Girl".

Of course the ever Fabulous Miss Jay, Runway Extraordinaire, Runway Coach, Legendary Model, and a personality on America's Next Top Model. And alongside him Masika Kalysha, of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood Fame!

And Russian Roulette also came saw and loved!

Images by Douglas Overton

This collection this year screamed "BIH COME THRU" or "I have to pick up some lavender from the organic market but I have a wicked dinner with all my friends right after."

#HolidayCheer: Valentine's Day 2018: LETS GO #WilliamsSonoma or #Nordstrom!

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 00:07:00 +0000

Changing the tune of the wonderous blogger haven of Valentine's Day gift picks scrumptiously offered showing what you can buy for your significant other, your dog, or even yourself. I want to turn that boringness and authoritative standpoint by showing what ALL can enjoy! Here a couple of cute things and knicks knacks that I believe are pretty cool, everyone can enjoy and if you are condemned to a single-servitude for eternity, then there are some neat stuff you can indulge in and then go do a juice cleanse, bank detox or whichever.

Warning List Below has awesomeness and sarcasm mixed right in! Relatable? hugs forever. (Images courtesy of Williams-Sonoma.com and Nordstrom.com)

Valentine's Day Etched Heart Flutes at Williams-Sonoma, $12 each or you can buy a set. Drink with your real lover, your fictious romance novel

Valentine's Day Cookies, at Williams-Sonoma, the box is $32.

Bacon and Eggs Cookie Box, at Williams-Sonoma, $28 a pop! This is my personal favorite and so modern as fuck, forget the hearts, go for the bacon!

Slip Silk Pillowcase, the limited edition Valentines Kisses one, $79 at Nordstrom. Slip has gotten so huge now! A splurge one but hey what a way for the single gals like me to get our kiss via a pillow and not have fine lines and aging from regular cotton pillows! Score. FANCY AF.

Meri Meri Valentine's Day Party Bundle, $68 at Nordstrom. You can have a "Its my party and ill cry if I want to" Valentines lonely moment with a party set or invite your girlfriends to watch Sex and the City for a anthropological philosophical breakdown of relationships. Either way, this is a fab set to do it.

Wildfox Not Today Cupid Tee, $77 at Nordstrom. For those of you are not feeling it or wanna show your significant other to fuck off on that day! So perf! These with a Williams-Sonoma box and buying your own flowers, make your Valentines Day Great Again!

Diptyque Rose Delight Candle, LTD, $68 at Nordstrom. So what if your significant other didnt buy flowers or forgot, time to be petty and envelope your space with your own floral scent! Smelled this in person, its soooo good! Instagram aesthetic worthy, have this by the clawfoot tub and that picture of your legs never looked and smelled so good.

#NYFW: #TomFord Fall/Winter 2018 Menswear Collection. #SoCool

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Wed, 07 Feb 2018 20:20:00 +0000

Tom Ford, forgoing the usual LA showing and quick pace retreats of the other high end designers flocking to adding themselves to the European (London, Paris) fashion week schedule, showed last night here in New York City!

As usual the multi talented A+ List designer, showed an enviable collection very suitable for the fall/winter collection, that it is being showcased for and ended with a plethora of gorgeous men in lovely riche boxers.

Images via Vogue.com

I loved the cross between a velvet revolution late 70s early 80s rocker with the textural play between silks and furs (on bombers, trousers, etc) along with a pattern play interposed with animal prints galore against a neutral winter block safety background of whites, blacks, greys!

Images via Vogue.com

Tom can never do wrong. Always a smart collection, some may call it safe but I call it viable, smart, knows his crowd, and the addition of print and suit styling and suit structures goes a long way! The luxurious enveloping bomber jackets against a black backdrop with a suitable severe sunglasses! The quintessential late 70s, touch of 80s, and 90s club look with a modern take. I love a look that can be modern but take any element of any decade and rework it. Thats artful.

Congrats Tom! I see loads of these pieces on some celebs hitting the red carpets for movie premieres, tv appearances, and on the movies themselves!

Yoe Books Presents Limbo Lounge (Courtesy of IDW!)

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:31:00 +0000

Yoe Books Presents Limbo Lounge

The Award-Winning IDW Publishing Imprint
Will Release Limbo Lounge This February

San Diego, CA (January 24, 2018) — Yoe Books, in conjunction with IDW Publishing and Top Shelf, is overjoyed to announce a worthy title to its celebrated catalogue—LIMBO LOUNGE by acclaimed illustrator Dave Calver.

Spearheaded by multiple Eisner Award-winner, Craig Yoe, who guarantees this title will live up to their collections of stupendous comic art geniuses of the past, Limbo Lounge is already getting recognition across the comic book community, racking up positive review attention.

DoomRocket opines, “Limbo Lounge mixes equal parts Tex Avery and Hieronymus Bosch. Vibrant, expressionistic madness.”

An original graphic novel where newly dead people in Limbo await their fate at a bar while surrounded by bored interlopers from hell. This trippy, surreal, full-color adventure brings us from the hot, swirling sands of hell to the colorfully bizarre Limbo Lounge. Meet flower-headed freaks, Bud and Lou. Root for their new friend, a spry, elderly nun, Sister Eunice, as she works remotely in Limbo continuing to rid earth of despicable dirt bags. And, by all means, avoid the knife-wielding little pageant-princess-gone-bad as she plots for anything she can get at anyone’s expense.

“It’s a thrill to make such an auspicious Yoe Books debut with the mind-blowing Dave Calver,” said Yoe. “Our motto when we started was 'Making Comics History'. That was carefully worded because we have always planned on publishing, in addition to classic cool comics, original graphic novels that would ’make history’!”

“Craig has been an invaluable partner over the years and we’re always excited to see what he produces next,” said IDW Publisher and President, Greg Goldstein. “Spotlighting some of the most eye-popping comic book artists is what Craig does best, and Limbo Lounge is no exception.”

Reserve your copy of Limbo Lounge from Yoe Books today before it hits bookshelves 2/6/18.

This looks like a really cute book guys!

Beautiful Beauty Essentials

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Wed, 20 Dec 2017 13:57:00 +0000

Besides all of the L'Occitane and different beauty and body available products, people should get to know Jo Malone! London based brand with apothecary luxurious products. Such products are: Lotions, Perfumes, Diffusers, Vitamin E Body Scrubs, and Luxury Candles!

Basically all items help with a great pampering experience, that way from the bath time to running to grab a bus, train, or get to work vibes, you can have that pampering spa experience at any moment!

Such an avid fan of Jo Malone, I got my new scent 'Peony and Blush Suede". It is so enveloping and floral with subtlety. It's not greasy, moisturizing, scent modest, and rich in texture!

Next, more moisturizing and now scrubbing! If you are a fan of the Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb perfumes, then the body creme and body scrub is no different. The same gorgeous scent is in each, although the scrub also smells like a bit of wine is in it, but it must be how they try to preserve it.

All great for keeping your body, dead-skin less and moisturized. Spa pampering can be at home again y'all!

Just In: Gucci Kingsnake Flats from #Nordstrom

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 22:44:00 +0000

All the Gucci I have is vintage earlier 2000s items really, 2 loafers and 2 bags. When Alessandro Michele took over back in January 2015 after Frida's leave, I thought Gucci would either sink or swim, under another creative accessories designer that was promoted up to the Creative Director head honcho role.

I gotta say this new revamp of Gucci, revives such life into a brand that has been at a stand still since 2011. The social media presence is on and definitely a help. They have a luxurious, bookworm, cosmo girl, funky fun with heritage designs on the clothing and accessories alike.

As this is my own piece of the new Gucci, I was quite impressed and happy!

The New Kingsnake Flats, I got them on sale for $200, down from $700 via Nordstrom. Love my nordies!!

Such a fun new take on Gucci and I want more of it!

Time is upon us! Erdem for HM is coming out next week on November 2. I am sure you folks, like myself, have our calendars, kitchen timer, and phone timers set for the release.

As per usual, make sure you follow Racked, Glamour Mag, and HM for updates on time release, where to shop, and whats covetable.

For me these are the core four, the fab four I need in my life:

There is something about the lace chiffon and tie neck that is so modern romantic victorian. The sneakers and blazer are so prim and yet fun. I believe these four can get you far in any other piece.

Price points are higher but not as expensive as Lanvin for HM was. The blouses are like $129, the blazer around the same and shoes around the same. I cant wait to see the quality in person to truly make an informed purchase.

Or frantically order a blouse in my size before even stepping foot in the store.

Thoughts on the success of this collab?

Welcome to New York - Calvin Klein 205W39NYC

Its waiting for you~ Imagine that playing as you look for the old Calvin Klein goodness with sleek power suits with luxury tailoring and a streamlined modern refined silhouette that Francisco Costa perpetuated.

Not anymore! With Raf Simons at the helm, he made a splash with the luxury line of Calvin Klein called Calvin Klein 205W39NYC, which is aptly named after the CK's own Manhattan Fashion District Headquarters!

With Costa out and Simons in, we are seeing the luxury modern refinement that CK is known for, with taking business casual bests and putting a true raf twist on it. Deconstructing the business individual to show there is another layer to them, a playful one at that. At least thats how I read into this new collection!

You will notice that magic with all of the sweaters, coats, and blouses in this collection.

I have to admit at first I was a skeptic but this looks to be an interesting shift in the CK history and hoping a refreshing continuous revival that it so needs, CK Collection and not the CK Contemporary pieces that are in our department stores, those are a hot go to selling point for many of us working folks.

Gams into Fall: Stuart Weitzman Leather Lowland Over the Knee Boot - Two Ways

noreply@blogger.com (Kacrates) — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 11:35:00 +0000

My new babies, loving the next level over the knee trend, forget the trust riding boots or moto boots being worn nearly everyday, these for the last 3 years have been a trendy piece but slowly has been manuvering into being a staple in any wardrobe!

I love how second-skin they feel, how they fit! These have to have its own boot box, stalks and shaper to keep them great and leather conditioner! Care for your boots and see them last for a while.

Here at Neiman, for $875, well worth the splurge with its gorgeous 1" heel!

Here is one way to wear it! Casually with a pair of black skinny denim and a tee for a ride out!

Add a military parka duffle coat, and its like all you have on are your boots, elongating the legs!

Bonus is if your denim is ripped, giving it a chic city downtown girl vibe, downtown below 23rd st in NYC that is. Specific enough lol.

Add in a casual wardrobe staple like the LV speedy and it can become a shopping, getting grocerys, running out to hang with friends and go see a movie lewk!

Second way:

If you want a more trendy, eclectic look, add in a patchwork jacket and utility style mini leather bag or crossbody!

My crossbody is the Phillip Lim 'Wednesday' Cosmetic Crossbody Bag. Not sold in stores anymore but can be found in various places like Ebay, The Real Real, Fashionphile, Lyst, etc.

These boots can be worn with dresses or skirts but have not explored that avenue yet! These are so versatile.
