Fall 2015 Campaigns

2015-08-21T08:21:00.001-04:00

It's no secret that I'm so over summer. Humidity making my hair frizzy, roasting hot subway stations, and doing everything I can to stay cool (which usually means getting up close and personal with my air conditioning)...all I have to say is autumn cannot get here soon enough! So in the attempt to get into the mindset of my favorite season, I'm currently lusting over fall ad campaigns.

Here are some of my favorites. Click the links below to view the full campaigns. Be sure to let me know which ones (shown here or elsewhere) are your favorites.

Calvin Klein Collection

Chloe

Rag & Bone

Fendi

Look of the Day- On Edge

2015-08-18T21:22:00.000-04:00

1) Longline Duster Chain Earrings available at Forever 21- $5.90

2) Sheer Top available at Zara- $22.90

3) Square Color Block Clutch Bag available at ASOS- $27
4) Side Effects Black D'Orsay Pumps available at LuLu's- $32
5) Destroyed Black Mid Rise Jean Legging available at Express- ~~$88~~ $52.80

Sometimes I like to break out an edgy look. But when I do so I still keep it slightly classy. I love this look above...pairing casual jeans with some dressy pieces. It makes dressing up feel not so stuffy...and also makes ripped jeans look chic!

The Bold And The Beautiful

2015-08-15T12:00:00.001-04:00

dress: Calvin Klein thrifted from Crossroads Trading Co./ sandals: H&M/ horse pin: a gift from my friends at Bob Mackie

Yes I wear black (a lot)...but I really am a sucker for a bright and bold print (especially when hot pink is involved in it!). So you knew I couldn't say no to this amazing Calvin Klein dress. I picked it up at Crossroads Trading Co. last weekend. Not only did it fit me perfectly, but I don't think it was ever worn. The pockets were still sewn shut. Can you believe it? And better yet, it was only $27.50!!!

Enjoying the ever so slight breeze...

Tonight we're going to finally go see Trainwreck, and I cannot wait! We've been meaning to go for the last few weeks but our plans kept changing. But tonight is the night. Sitting in air conditioning this evening sounds like the perfect plan to me!

This weekend is going to be another hot one. Stay cool everyone!

Sharing My Beauty/Fashion Secrets

2015-08-09T11:02:00.000-04:00

denim dress- Calvin Klein (thrifted from Crossroads Trading Co.) / wedges- MICHAEL Michael Kors

Today I'm sharing my top three beauty and fashion secrets with you.

1. Find your favorite local secondhand shop and become a regular. In my neighborhood I'm lucky enough to have a number of awesome secondhand stores and live in among some seriously stylish gals...so you know there are always awesome pieces to be found. My personal favorite shop in North Williamsburg has to be Crossroads Trading Co. I'm obsessed with that place. I always have the best luck there. I stopped there on Friday and picked up two practically new Calvin Klein dresses (see that one I'm wearing) and another dress that was never worn (tags still on it!)...three dresses all for only $65! Score!!!

2. Use coconut oil as a hair treatment. I only started doing this after I got my ombre hair about a month ago. Two of the girls that work at the salon that I go to told me it is a must! Not only will it help keep my hair from being dry, but it will help keep it from breaking. I absolutely love how soft it makes my hair! You have to try it!!! Go to the supermarket and pick up some coconut oil. Put some in your hands and rub your hands together to melt it. Slather it on and wrap your head in plastic wrap. Let it sit for an hour or two and then wash it out. You will notice a difference immediately!

3. Red lipstick makes the best accessory. Who needs jewelry or other accessories when all you need to do is swipe some red lipstick on to complete a look? Am I right? As you can see above, I kept my look simple...but the red lips really finish it off. Anyone that says they can't wear red lipstick because of their coloring or their age is crazy. RED IS FOR EVERYONE!!!

Red Lips, Rompers, and Rocko

2015-08-01T10:51:00.000-04:00

floral romper- Forever 21 | platform sandals- H&M

My favorite summer item has got to be rompers! I adore dresses, but when I'm walking around the neighborhood with my dog in hand it's very difficult to be holding down my dress every time it gets breezy. Know what I mean? Rompers let me be carefree...and not flash everyone while doing so!

Chris and I brought Rocko out for a walk early this morning...because, brace yourself, it's going to be another disgustingly hot day. The poor guy just can't handle this heat, and to be honest neither can I. I know it is only August 1st, but can it be autumn already??? Please?

This weekend is going to be full of dogsitting Rocko's friend Junior (he's so much fun!), oyster happy hours, regular happy hours, and air conditioning. Sounds pretty perfect to me.

Oh yeah, if you haven't checked it out yet...Rocko has his own Instagram account. Friends have been telling me to start one for him for quite some time now, and I finally gave in. Follow him and his adventures at: rockothelhasapoo.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Keeping It Classic

2015-07-12T16:05:00.001-04:00

If florals, neon colors, and tropical prints aren't your thing no worries! A black and white combination is absolute perfection for the summer. What I also love about this classic color combo is that you look chic and stylish no matter what! Don't you agree?

Slightly Tropical

2015-07-05T14:22:00.002-04:00

dress- H&M | sandals- Kelsi Dagger available at Lord & Taylor | necklace- old (got this from a roadside stand near the Grand Canyon many years ago)

Since it is definitely feeling like a hot summer day today I thought it would be very appropriate to dress slightly tropical. A pineapple dress would be perfect for the occasion, don't you agree? And I absolutely love these white sole sandals. Is anyone else digging this trend?

This morning my husband and I went to brunch in the East Village. This is crazy for us because for some reason I feel like we almost never leave our Brooklyn neighborhood on the weekends. Had a great brunch at Frank, where we sat outside and drank bellinis. Does life get better than that?

Next we're heading out to a puppy pool party at Artists & Fleas. We went last year and Rocko had a blast. Last year he won the friendliest dog in the pool award...I wonder what/if he'll win this year. Let's hope he has as much fun this year. I'm sure I'll be posting on my Instagram and Snapchat, so follow along! :-)

Later on we'll be cheering on the USA as the final game of the Women's World Cup is played. I can't wait! Have you all been watching it the last few weeks? I've been obsessed.

I hope you all are having a great holiday weekend!!!

Cool in Kaftans

2015-06-28T11:04:00.002-04:00

My new favorite item for the summer has to be a flowing kaftan. It's perfect to wear to the beach as a cover up, over jeans for a casual vibe, or paired with some sexy sandals for an evening look.

My Weekend Recap

2015-06-14T20:35:00.000-04:00

I was lucky enough to have a three day weekend this past weekend and it was full of fun, fashion, friends, and food. I wanted to share some of my highlights with all of you!

~Did you hear, ombre is here to stay! This makes me so happy because I just made an appointment to get my hair done ombre. I'm soooooo excited for this new look! I have to wait until July 10th...but, once I get it done I can't wait to show you all. Get ready for photos.

~I ate so much great food this past weekend. If you are in the North Williamsburg/Greenpoint area be sure to check out: Sweetgreen (they have the best salads), The Bounty (an amazing $1 oyster happy hour), and A+ Lollipop (bubble tea!!!).

~I watched a great movie this weekend. Have you all seen Celeste and Jesse Forever? My husband and I loved it! Super funny, very touching (I teared up a few times), and brilliantly shot. Check it out.

~I had a possible celebrity sighting on my block earlier today while walking my dog. I'm 99% sure I walked by supermodel Lindsey Wixson. If it wasn't her, she definitely has a doppelganger walking around Brooklyn.

How was your weekend? Tell me all about it!

Gingham Girl

2015-06-13T11:55:00.003-04:00

Today Rocko and I were enjoying some of this lovely weather in our courtyard. Him in a dog bone print and myself in gingham...and both in red. He might not have been so happy that we dressed like twins...but I won this battle. Aren't we just adorable together!?!?!

dress: Design Lab available at Lord & Taylor/ sandals:Anne Klein available at Lord & Taylor

I have been doing a bunch of shopping at Lord & Taylor lately. That's what happens when you work two blocks from their midtown location. Not that I really mind...they have been having amazing sales lately (and their show department is spectacular!). Stop by now because they are having their friends and family sale! You can thank me later!

So much going on in my neighborhood this weekend. We'll be stopping by the Northside Festival and it's festivities on Bedford Avenue. Art, music, food, and fun...sounds like a good time to me. Follow along on my Instagram and Snapchat (snapshotfashion) for my adventures!!!

Have a happy Saturday!

Beauty Buzz: OGX

2015-05-31T20:19:00.002-04:00

Lately I have fallen in love with a the OGX brand of hair products. I have tried so many of them including: Brazilian Keratin Therapy, Argan Oil of Morocco, and so many others...but my current favorite (which is in my shower right now) has to be the Kukui Oil shampoo and conditioner. It is fantastic.

This product works so great on smoothing my hair on even the most humid of days. Also, my hair feels so thick and strong! Even my husband also uses it and said, "It makes my hair feel so full"...in which I said, "Better than it making it feel thin!"

What do you think of OGX products? Have you used them before? Which are your favorites?

Please note: this post is strictly my personal opinion. This is not a sponsored post.

My McCarren Park

2015-05-30T13:28:00.000-04:00

dress- Romeo & Juliet Couture thrifted from Crossroads Trading Co./ wedge sandals- Bakers/ fringe purse- H&M

I'm not a nature girl at all. Dirt, bugs, allergies...I hate it all. But I have to say, I love that I live near a park while living in a city. Actually, now that I think of it I always have had a park in my backyard while in NYC. When we lived in the East Village we had Tompkins Square Park, when we lived in the Upper East Side we had Central Park, and now that we are in North Williamsburg we have McCarren Park which I love so much! It's full or pretty flowers, has a great farmer's market, and Rocko's favorite dog run. It's our little part of nature that we need in this concrete jungle.

Rocko is loving this warm and sunny weather.

Isn't this dress the cutest? I picked it up at Crossroads Trading Co. the other week. Can you believe that this adorable scuba swing dress was marked down to $6??? SIX DOLLARS! I love that store. I always have such luck there picking up great second hand finds!

I hope you all have a lovely Saturday! Get out there and enjoy it!

Look of the Day- Summer Vibes

2015-05-28T21:10:00.002-04:00

1) Ella Monroe Straw Fedora available at Goorin Bros.- $140

2) Crisscross Wrap Jacket available at Forever 21- $9.90

3) Dainty Sparklers Bow Pendant available at Kate Spade- $68
4) Maxi Skirt with Side Splits in Mono Print available at ASOS- $68
5) Wedding Two-Part Wedge Sandals available at Topshop- $80

The humidity is here...which means a hot summer is just around the corner. The best way I know how to keep cool is with a flowing maxi skirt, a little crop top, and a straw hat.

Are you ready for summer???

Swans Crossing

2015-05-23T12:46:00.002-04:00

Truth be told, I have been wanting to share this fabulous swan dress with you all for a while. But I have been wanting to use Swans Crossing as a title for this post for even longer. If you didn't watch the teen soap Swans Crossing in the early 90's I don't think we can be friends any longer. Seriously.

swan printed dress (same style/different print): Brooklyn Industries/ oxfords (same style/different color): Kayleen by Los Angeles available at ModCloth/ necklace: gift/ lipstick: Russian Red by MAC

Besides dodging my allergies left and right (they are so bad this year!), I'm planning on meeting up with my little cousin who is visiting his girlfriend in town tonight, off to spend my Sunday with the in-laws in Long Island, and then just relaxing at home on my Monday off.

What's everyone else up to this weekend?

Look of the Day- Little Dragons

2015-05-19T21:06:00.000-04:00

Take It To The Max

2015-05-11T19:22:00.001-04:00

Summer is almost here, and it's time to get bold! Maxi dresses in bold prints are the must have of the season...and I'm loving it. Nothing is more comfortable than a flowing maxi dress for a summer day. What I love about them is how versatile they are. Perfect for work, great for a lazy weekend, and a must wear for a night out. Put the mini dresses away...if you want all eyes on you, wear one of these amazing printed maxi dresses. You'll be sure to get noticed.

Wanderlust Maxi Dress available at LOFT- $79.50

Jupiter Sunshine Maxi available at Free People- $98

Long Scarf Print Dress available at Zara- $99.90

Yumi Kim Hot Summer Night Silk Maxi Dress available at ASOS- $286.33

Just because you want to wear shorts when the weather is warmer doesn't mean you have to dress like a slob. What I love about this look is that it is sexy, sassy, and totally comfortable. I'd say this look is perfect for a date night. Don't you just love it?
