Snow Day

Snow DaySnow DaySnow DaySnow DayWe had our first real snow storm of 2014 in NYC!  I wore my extra thick and cozy Isabel Marant for H&M Sweater, but even that could not keep me from freezing.  Trust me, I ran inside right after taking these photos for some hot tea and blankets! LOL

I still love bright colors in Winter, I think they brighten up your mood.  I also love the print on this sweater, and even though it sold out fast, I found tons of sweaters that achieve the same look! Check below for all the links! Details on outfit below!

By the way…. my SensatioNail mani has lasted me over two weeks since Christmas! I seriously love this at home gel polish!

How are you staying warm this Winter? Share in the comments!

Currently Craving: Cobalt

Currently Craving CobaltCobalt blue has become my new obsession. You can see here, on my Instagram, that I have a growing collection of cobalt blue items in my closet.  The color is so electric, and alive. It was my mom’s favorite color too- so maybe I inherited my love of the color from her.

I put together some of my current favorite cobalt items for you.  I recently got a 3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Pashli crossbody bag in this exact color.  I love it! (Photos to follow soon!) I love the large size Pashli as well. It reminds me of my cobalt blue Celine mini luggage bag which I adore! You can see photos of it HERE.  (Notice a trend with the cobalt blue color?)

What do you think of the color? Do you have a current favorite color you are rocking? Tell me in the comments!

Currently Craving: My Handbag Picks for Spring 2013!

My handbag picks for Spring!!!
Are you ready for Spring? I know I am! NYC has been very cold lately, but we are finally getting some sunny days……and with that comes Spring Fever!!!  I am itching for a new handbag, so I have begun hunting online.  I have decided to share my picks with you here, showcasing some of my favorites. I am really loving stripes and patterns on bags, as well as  bright and neon colors, which are still a big trend.  Cross body bags are always great for warmer weather, because they are easy to throw on to walk around outside. Which do you love? Links are below to all the bags!

1) Madewell The Essex Messenger (Love the earthy colors, and comfortable cross body style)
2) Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag (I love the pink stripes, they scream Spring! Super comfy bag too!)
