Dream Dressing Room

Posted on by

Hi lovies!

Wow, its been far too long!  My life has been a whirlwind of craziness (all good, just busy)!  We have been in the process of buying our first home and boy, is that a long intense process.  We are due to close in the next couple of weeks and things have settled down just a tad bit.

Since we are moving into our new home so soon (and I finally have a chance to post) I though it would be fun to post some fun dressing room ideas or as I have been calling it with my hubby “my glam room.”  He was so confused at first but I explained that I needed a place to put all my makeup, purses and shoes and a place with room for me to get ready and not hog up the bathroom.  Here are some things I love and feel would be perfect for that dream dressing room!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7

I just really love the look of gold right now in almost every room.  I think a funky colored rug and some cool furniture could really tie together the space and make it feel inviting.  I love this bench from Anthropology and its functionality in a dressing room.  I am also obsessed with this chandelier, I have been looking at so many fun beaded ones for our new home and just love this pottery barn one!  Another great site that I go to all the time for fun lighting is Arhaus you can find so many great options here!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

What would your dream dressing room look like?!

NYE Outfits

Why hello there!

It has been so long since I have made a post! The holidays are always such a crazy time for me.  Involves lots of traveling which makes it hard for me to post.  I hope those of you that celebrate Christmas had a wonderful one!! It was so nice being home with family and friends.  My brother-in-law  flew in from Denmark a week ago so it was really nice having him in town as well.  We were one giant family gathering which is always lots of fun.

I thought with New Year’s Eve around the corner it would be fun to post outfit ideas.  I know some people go all out and others do more intimate celebrations.  Here are a few different outfits, all of which I love and would wear depending on what kinda night I have ahead 🙂

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Loving the ruffles and the texture of the sweater with the feminine length skirt.  I think the green is a gorgeous color and something different, pair it with some black shoes, bag and jewels and you are all set!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

I love this look.  A bit more casual with the pleather pants but still super cute and festive.  I love this ruffled blouse and the House of Harlow jewlry

1 / 2 / 3

If you have read my blog before you know my current obsession with Rose gold.  I think this dress is so amazing and fun.  I wouldn’t wear any jewelry since the dress is so sparkly.  This would be a fun dress if you were going to a fancy spot or out in NYC

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

I just love this outfit.  I am so into ruffles right now on tops, and the color of this blouse is pretty amazing.  This skirt is so classy and elegant yet fun and festive.  Also these Steve Madden heels come in a ton of different colors, I am loving block heels right now too!

Do you have a favorite?

Any fun plans for NYE? What outfit will you be wearing?!

Cyber Monday Deals-My fave time of the year!

Hi loves! Happy Monday (says no one ever, unless its cyber Monday!)

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.  Mine was relaxing, filled with tons of food and family time.  How was your holiday?!

I am so excited to share with you some of the great deals I have come across.  I am a deal shopper, always have been.  I get such a thrill knowing I didn’t pay full price for something LOL.  Here are some of the sites I will be shopping today!

Best Damn Beauty by Nicole Guerriero

I have yet to try any of her products, but if you follow beauty bloggers like I do then you know she is amazing and any products she is making are also going to be awesome.  I have read great reviews on her lip mask.  You can get 50% off your order PLUS free shipping with promo code NICOLE!  Now is the time to check out her stuff!  Here is the lip mask and also the face beauty oil I am going to buy!

West Elm

By far one of my favorite online home shops.  I think they always have great prices and they always have the items I try to find in the stores near me but are never successful finding them.  Here are some things I just love and with the 50% off Cyber Monday promo you cannot resist!  I love this Velvet duvet cover and shams, comes in 2 colors.  I love these Gold Terrariums, super cute accent decor.  You can add succulents in it or even some pretty stones of candles, easy and cute.  I also really love this Terrace Coffee Table which is half price!  They have tons of furniture, rugs, bedding, mirrors etc., all on sale as well.  If you are in need of some home goods I would check them out!

Tory Burch 

I only shop Tory Burch when I find good deals.  You can get some cute bags and shoes on sale right now.  I love these Sidney Boots and these Nola High Top sneakers. I love cross body bags because they are great for day or night.  This Harper Flat Wallet Cross Body one is perfect and a great price!

Tarte and Dermstore.com

I have always had a love for Tarte Cosmetics.  My love really grew for them once I did some free lancing for them.  I learned so much about their products and got to try a bunch of them out.  I just love how so many of their cosmetics wear, last, and are not filled with harsh chemicals.  They are vegan friendly (which also makes me happy) and they definitely have some of my favorite go-to products.  Everything on their site is 25% off with promo code MONDAY.  They also have the best gifts, really cute travel size gift packages, perfect for any makeup lover. I was searching and came across Dermstore.com.  They also sell Tarte products and also have 25% off your entire purchase with promo code HOLIDAY.   If you want to get a bunch of different products you may want to check out Dermstore instead.  To start I LOVE Tartes’ Amazonian Clay Blush, it last all day long and comes in amazing colors! Maracuja Oil is my all time fave.  Tarte also has it in a travel size, which I love, so I normally get that size along with the normal size and use it every day!  I am a bronzer lover and cannot go without their Park Ave Princess one!  Okay, I could literally list out another 20 items that I have used and loved but you get the picture haha.  If you are just looking for Tarte then go direct to their site but if you want to buy other brands, such as:Beauty Blender, Juice Beauty, Clarisonic, or Lorac (just to name a few) then head over to DermStore.

Bag, Borrow or Steal

Want to rent or buy gently used designer bags?! I love this site.  They are having a great sale right now.  Here are some LV bags I have been eyeing and they are marked down, today only! Here and Here

Sweaty Betty

Cannot forget some good work out clothes marked down! I love their stuff, and they have 25% off everything, no code needed.

Teeki

Another site I adore for workout/yoga clothing.  They have 35% off their site PLSU $20 store credit for orders over $100 AND Free Legwarmers with promo code TEEKICASH20.  You should def check this one out!  I have never seen these leggings go for 35% off before.

I hope you all enjoy your awesome shopping day!  What can be better then shopping and not having to wait in lines?!

Hi dolls!

I hope everyone is surviving the week, we are so close to the weekend!  I thought I would share some of my favorite go-to items during this time of the year.  Here in NY the weather is so wacky.  One day it can be a nice chilly fall day in the 60’s and then the next day can be back to summer heat and in the 80’s, so crazy.  So what do you wear for the day when you leave your house and its chilly and then it gets warmer later on?  The answer is layers.  I love layering up, especially in the fall.  Here are some items that I love for this transitioning time.

The Wonders of Rome

Ciao Bellas!

So I have been slacking (as per usual) on posting more about our Europe vacation.  Well, I was just looking at pictures and reminiscing on how amazing every part of it was.  I really loved Rome, the history in that city is so amazing.  Europe is just so old compared to the US and the buildings, structures and just overall feel always amazes me.  Here are some shots from one of our days in Rome.  We only got to spend 2 nights (one in the beginning of our trip and then one at the end) and we made the most of it.  I really want to go back and try to stay for longer.  I feel like there is just so much to see and explore!

Have you ever been to Rome?  Any tips on must-see places?!

The Colosseum was fanastic!  To think they had the ability to build this almost 2,000 years ago is so mind blowing to me!  I highly recommend taking a guided tour.  Our tour guide was so informative and made the experience that much more enjoyable!

Me on the inside of the Colosseum.  They said that from what they have gathered the Colosseum used to be painted in beautiful, vibrant colors.

My handsome hubby.  It was SO hot and sunny this day (probably around 90F) and we were dying but we were able to get some really amazing pics along the way!

After the Colosseum our tour guide took us on a nice long walk where we saw the Forum (pictured here).  Its so crazy that as you walk down the streets of Rome you will see all these ancient structures all over.  They do an amazing job trying to preserve everything they come across

The last 2 pictures are of the Pantheon.  Such a beautiful building inside and out.  The rounded dome ceiling is so magical. 

I loved this part of our trip.  I cannot wait to go back and get a chance to explore more.  I will post about our other day in Rome.  Get this, I actually found a raw VEGAN place to eat at near our hotel.  Tom was such a trooper and went there because I really wanted to go.  He really enjoyed what he got and I loved it all!

Have a great rest of the week lovies!

Hi loves! I hope everyone had a nice long weekend 🙂

I am loving this transition time, from Summer to Fall.  I drove home this past weekend to spend time with my family.  My drive was so gorgeous! All the leaves are starting to change and it just made the drive so enjoyable!  I was noticing all the vibrant colors of the leaves and it really inspired me into finding some fun fall items that remind me of those amazing colors.  I put together a couple go to outfits, I could live in either one of these outfits LOL.

 What is your fave fall color?!

Look #1:

Hi loves! Happy Hump day!

 I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  I am loving this weather lately.  Its the perfect temp here in NY.  Its chilly at night (perfect sleeping weather!) and then warms up to the low 70’s during the day.  This time of the year is my all time fave because I just love the clothing you can wear-and of course all things pumpkin!.  From booties to layers I love them all LOL.  Here are some dresses I think are so perfect for the fall and I matched them up with some booties that I thought completed the look.  I am really loving the suede and mule booties trend this season!  I found all these awesome items at Revolve one of my fave online shops!

Hi!

I do not know about you, but as soon as the mornings start to get chilly I get such an itching for Fall time! Autumn in NY is amazing. I just love the smell of the air, change in the color of the leaves, sweaters and boots, pumpkin everything and of course hot apple cider.  Since I have started shopping and picking up some new looks for this fall I thought I would put together a cute look.  I have been so in love with mule shoes this season.  Check out where you can get this cute look below!
