My boyfriend just got featured on Channel NY1!

Yesterday, Channel NY1 reached out to feature my boyfriend Chris in a special news segment (you can see me sitting next to him in the video)!  He’s been getting a lot of press for his impressions and comedy. My boyfriend, like me, is an actor, comedian and writer.  He also does amazing impressions – and he’s been making some serious coin with them. Basically, people looking to do something a little different for a gift, can pay him to prank call people as Christopher Walken, Alec Baldwin, Tony Soprano, any many more characters, all through a website called Fiverr. Naturally, orders for Christopher Walken are always in high demand, and the most popular on Chris’s page.  😉

Check it out and get someone you love the perfect birthday gift at www.fiverr.com/jerseyferretti. You can also see Chris’ hilarious videos on his youtube channel at www.youtube.com/chrisferretti.

After the interview we took advantage of the beautiful weather and took a couple of quick snapshots in Astoria. I wore my Balenciaga leather jacket, but even that proved too heavy for this Spring, or as I like to say “the early Summer” weather! 🙂  Leave a comment below. Now we are off to get the biggest air conditioner ever to beat this sweltering heat. WOW! It’s only March! XOXOXO – Julie 😉

The Perfect Parka

It was a cold, dreary, dark day in NYC today, but that didn’t stop my boyfriend and I from spending some time in the park.  Today’s weather was a drastic change from the gorgeous, sunny, 71 degrees we enjoyed yesterday, but I am not complaining because it finally gave me a chance to feature my favorite parka in a blog post.  I have been lusting after the perfect parka for over a year now, and I finally found it!  I spotted this Dawn Levy Parka online, but it was a bit pricey for me at the time.  Sadly, I searched online for alternatives, but none matched the awesomeness of the Dawn Levy coat.  But then, the shopping gods smiled on me and I found it at Neiman Marcus for half price! I am in love! It’s super warm, and I love the fur hood!  I paired it with a casual dress from Forever 21, (last seen in this blog post), and my super comfortable (seriously, like sneakers) Jeffrey Campbell Litas. *** Really.  Buy a pair, they are amazing! Get them here. I also love my leopard Diego bag by Alexander Wang. The shape, animal print, and studs on the bottom all make for an incredible bag. We had a lot of fun today. No place like NYC. 😉

Cobalt blue and denim

Do you know it was 71 degrees in NYC today?  Do you realize that it’s March?!? Yes March! I don’t ever remember the weather being this warm in March in NYC, and I am a native New Yorker! Spring was in the air today, and it was gorgeous! I took advantage of this amazing weather to break out my sandals, light chambray shirt, and my cobalt blue Celine luggage tote for the first time. Sigh…..the color is spectacular isn’t it?? As you get to know me, and continue reading my posts, (I hope!), you will see that I always mix high end items, with totally low end affordable ones. I think it’s important to have “investment pieces” that you will have for years, and that you can mix with low priced, affordable items to elevate your look. This Celine luggage tote is just that for me. I think it’s an incredible bag. It fits a ton of stuff, even file folders, and it never looses it shape or gets too heavy.  The design is chic and timeless.  I believe this is the next great classic bag to own. I also have it in black. You can see my posts with it here and  here.

I hope you all enjoyed the weather today, whether you are in NYC or around the world! xo- Julie

Balenciaga and neon yellow

Today was a GORGEOUS day in NYC!! 75 degrees!! In March!!  I can’t believe it! 😉 It was the perfect excuse to take out my leather quilted Balenciaga Jacket. I absolutely LOVE this jacket.  It’s one of the many “investment” pieces I have, and it’s so worth it. Today was also the first day I took out my neon yellow Cambridge satchel. What an amazing color! I can see myself working this bright bag into many outfits this Spring and Summer.  (I may want it in another color!)  I am wearing Old Navy jeggings, they are super comfortable and I love this color for Spring. I also dug my Aldo suede wedges out of the closet and paired them with socks…….great way to wear sandals now while it’s still chilly!

8. Aldo Blue suede wedge sandals. Purchase them here.  (I need these!)

9. Forever 21 knit bandage skirt in hot pink (other colors too!) Purchase it here. 

As promised, here are my picks for some of the most affordable deals I found online for hot NEON items for Spring and Summer!  As I stated before, I don’t believe in spending a fortune on items that are trendy, because I don’t believe they will hold their value, or be in style the following season.   I have always believed in investing money on items that you can wear for years, i.e. a great pair of boots, an awesome designer handbag, or a gorgeous warm shearling coat. These are staples to have in your wardrobe that you will be reaching for in years to come. But a neon yellow bag? Or hot pink pants? Hmmmm I am not so sure. 😉  Also, it pains me to spend $250 on neon jeans, when I can easily buy 3 pairs in hot colors for $34.00 dollars each at Old Navy, or for $25.00 each at Forever 21. I would rather have more styles and colors to chose from in my closet, then have one pair at such a high price. Feel me?  Also if the neon trend is passe next year, won’t you feel bad about spending $250 on bright yellow pants?  Yea, I would too. 😉

So here are my picks for some awesome, affordable neon items online.

And……here is a reveal of the mouth watering Neon Yellow Cambridge satchel I recently purchased at Bloomingdales for 25 percent off! (It was only $130!!)  My best friend Debbie got the neon pink.  (I think we may have to trade sometimes LOL)

What do you think of my picks?  And my Cambridge satchel?? Let me know!

Neon yellow and army green

Just a few quick snapshots of me in Astoria today. I didn’t realize how much I LOVE neon yellow and army green together until I caught a glimpse of myself as I was walking out the door.  The bright yellow stands out against the neutral green, and somehow makes it more special. It was such a gorgeous day today in NYC that I decided to film some video on my beautiful block in Astoria. I plan on recording many more videos for you all, showcasing the latest fashion trends, and unique ways of putting different looks together.

The sunglasses are Lady Gaga for Barneys, last seen in this post.  The coat is a gorgeous parka that I haven’t revealed to you guys yet, but I plan on doing so this week. 😉 Also stay tuned for my special post on the best neon deals and steals out there right now. I will be posting that tomorrow. Happy Monday!!! xoxoxo

Flashback to NYC Fashion Week Spring 2011~ “With Love” necklace collection

Posted on by

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a full year since these photos were taken! I didn’t have a blog back then so I wanted to post these photos now for you to see.  I was lucky enough to be invited to attend a W event  that was run by my good friend Elaine.  I also had a chance to promote a line of necklaces near and dear to my heart, the “With Love” Collection by Joe Cangemi. These necklaces are a unique design, an open circle shape that come in either white, yellow, or rose gold.  You are able to engrave the necklace with whatever you want.  “With Love” will appear on one side, with your choice of words for the other side.  For mine, I chose my name and my boyfriend’s name, Chris. Joe has special necklaces that he makes for causes that mean a lot to him, such as cancer research, breast cancer, AIDS, ect.  Some people chose to have a necklace made to represent what they have been through in life, and how they survived. These are more then just necklaces, they are symbols of life, love and strength.You can purchase them here.

Keep reading for photos of me and Joe wearing the necklaces, as well as photos from the W Event. 😉 xoxo

Casual Sunday (Go Giants!)

Superbowl Sunday!!! Today was a fun, relaxing day. We spent the day cooking, eating, and watching the game at our good friend’s house.  And…the GIANTS won! GO NY!!!

Today was a bit warmer, so I put on my leather jacket.  (Although I didn’t realize the intense chill in the air,so I put a fur vest over this jacket, and added a scarf right after the photos were snapped LOL)

I wore my super comfortable Frye Deborah boots. I love them and the stud detailing! And and I simply love my leopard Diego bag, it adds a pop to every outfit.  Hope you all had a great Sunday!!  Enjoy!!!

Layers, Belgian Waffles, and girl’s day out ;-)

Today was a gorgeous day in NYC!  The temperature went up to 60 degrees, and despite the high winds, it was a welcome break from the extreme cold weather we have been getting. I decided to have a girls day out in the city with my best friend Debbie. We wanted to hit the Nanette Lepore sample sale (details on what I purchased in a later post), get Belgian Waffles, and enjoy the gorgeous weather.  For those outside of NYC, there is an amazing Belgian Waffle truck in Chelsea. This truck is there 6 days a week, and serves up genuine Belgian Waffles, with unlimited toppings, (including a ground up cookie paste that is to die for!), fruit, ice cream, and melted Belgian chocolate.  YUM!!! Of course, we had to have everything on our waffles! LOL

I decided to layer up, wearing my rabbit fur vest under my Kenneth Cole coat, so that I was still warm in the high winds, but I would be able to remove my coat if necessary and just wear the vest.  My Acne Pistol boots are perfect for walking around the city for 8 hours, super comfortable!!!  But the icing on the cake? My gorgeous Alexander Wang Rocco bag with rose gold hardware!  Get it while you can! The rose gold hardware sells out right away! It’s so perfect because it goes with both gold and silver. Amazing bag!!

Today was a fun day!
