Whats In My Bag?

I love reading "what's in my bag" posts, so I decided to do one myself! What's in our bags gives a glimpse of who we are. Some of us have different items we find necessities, and some of us have the same. 

{Here's whats in my bag and why!}

-Louis Vuitton Odeon PM

-Louis Vuitton Insolite Wallet Blue

-iPhone 4 (to keep myself informed)

-iPhone earbuds (to listen to my beats)

-RayBan Aviators (to keep the sun out of my eyes!)

-Essie Sand Tropez (to touch up the nails)

-Trident Gum (to keep it fresh)

-Moleskine Notebook (to stay organized)

-Key (to get into the house!)

-Bobby Pins (to switch up the hairstyle)

-Pen (to write down all my ideas)

-Mac Lipsticks (to keep those lips colorful)

-Hairties (to get my hair out of my face!)

-Tweezers (to pluck those unwanted eyebrow stragglers!)

Lacey Lace

{Photos From Weheartit.com}

Lace is in the air this spring! Lace patterns are popping up in almost every store. When the lace trend first started, I wasn't quite sure about it (I'm always skeptical...until I try it!)

 Now, I have about five lace pieces in my closet, and I love each of them. The nice part about lace is that it is feminine and versatile. Lacey pieces can be dressed up with a fancy evening outfit, or down as we see in the first picture with jean shorts and a long necklace. 

What do you think about lace?

I'm Comin Home

{peeking into my shed he he}

Usually, when we think of "spring break" sun and warmth come to mind. Although I usually jet off to a sunny destination, this year I decided to come home to my house in Buffalo, NY, which generally means four things: snow, cold weather, amazing food and The Bills (too bad its not football season!)  I have been so busy this semester that I haven't been able to relax, but now I am getting some much needed rest!

I designed the cabled fingerless gloves above. I love them because they keep my hands warm, but fingers free to text, drive and of course show off my rings! Contact me if you would like a pair custom knit!

Its always great to be home!

Chics Crush!

{ This weeks all about color!}

1. Essie's Mint Candy Apple: 

Usually when it comes to nail color, I am pretty simple. Lately I have been branching out to some very bright colors. I just discovered this Essie color, Mint Candy Apple. I love LOVE love it! If your simple with your nails, dress it up and try something bright and colorful!

2. Diane Von Furstenburg Dress:

When I first saw this dress, I fell head over heels. DVF always makes timeless pieces, but this one will go down in the books. I love the red/orange bright color, and how whimsical the silk drapes at the sleeves at waist! Bright day dresses are a must have for the closet this season! Item can be found at Shopbop.

3. Love Quotes:

I am a huge fan of Love Quotes scarves. I love how they are casual, contemporary and go with almost every outfit. I usually wear my Love Quotes with a denim jacket or day dress. I found this amazing pink pop color at Otte. 

Have a great weekend my friends!

Bad Hair Day

Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, prepare, stand in front of the mirror with squinted morning tired eyes...we are just...well bound to have a bad hair day! There's something in the way we wake up those mornings that we just can't shake the hair problems and the nest that has settled into our hair the night before!

So.. what do you do? Wear a hat? Curl up in a ball? Stay home?

No!

I have found something that works. I repeat... something actually works!

So, I'll cut to the chase. I take showers at night, and often straighten my hair. I wake up in the morning with a terrible bump in my hair the height of a skyscraper. Even though I try to straighten it out, it still decides to stick around. Without taking a shower again, heres what you can do!

I bought one of the spray bottles above from The Container Store (you can also get spray bottles from your local drug store.) I fill it up with water and spray my roots. Seems simple right? Then I will re-dry my roots, and perfect them with a round brush!

Its that easy. I think that this is great to do on the bottom of the hair as well, to smooth out the ends!

And thats it. $1 container bottle, free tap water, and you have yourself a hairdo quick fix!

Stack It Up!

{Photos from Weheartit.com}

There is something contemporary and edgy about stacking rings and bracelets. No matter where your going, your jewelry stands out. Some people aren't a fan of the stacked look, and view it as gaudy and unflattering. I believe jewelry is a unique expression of who you are and what style you enjoy. 

I say, if you own it, wear it. Theres no use saving your jewelry in a box. It's meant to come out and play!

What do you think of the stacked trend?

Thrifty

{ Marc Jacobs Jacket, H&M Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Bag, Low Luv Ring}

After the bout of snow we received last week, it finally warmed up again! I decided to take take a stroll to some new destinations, and bring my iPad to do some homework outside!

I recently found this amazing Marc Jacobs denim jacket at a designer resale shop. I love thrifty shopping, and feel so good when I find a deal! 

If you haven't already, check out a designer or vintage resale shop near you! You will be sure to find some unique pieces!

{Psst...!! I love resale shopping and finding deals. If one of your all time favorite fashion pieces was bought at a resale/vintage shop etc. I would love to know about your purchase and feature it on my blog ;)}
