I have a heavy heart today

I have a heavy heart today.

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the day that my grandpa went into the hospital, where he remained until he passed through the great gates up high.

I know you are watching over us, because I feel your presence all the time.

Love you

Biker Chic

If there is one trend this fall that is both comfortable and practical and ANYONE can pull off, its the "biker" look. From moto jackets and boots to leather detailing on a great blouse this is a friendly trend to try.

What constitutes as biker chic?
Black, army and brown
leather, suede and fringe
boots, jackets and aviators
studs, buckles, zippers and lots of hardware.

Bikers don't live by the rules...neither should you.

And unless you are really riding...leave your helmet at home.

Vintage Luichiny

I ran into these great Vintage Luichiny shoes on Pinterest the other day.

Luichiny was founded in Spain and was hugely popular on the club scene in the 1970-1990's. It's crazy to see how far the line has come since those days.

What are your thoughts on these styles?

NYFW essentials

New York Fashion Week is among us.

Though I won't be attending, here is my go to list for any fashion week:


Shoes: you need something beautiful, but practical. Being in New York you will be on your feet a lot. Try the Diba True Jet Way.


iPad Mini- small enough to fit in your bag, big enough to keep you connected to the world. Take notes, pictures, live social sharing, etc

Portable charger: they are worth the investment. They will keep you plugged in a little longer, to keep you connected to the world. You're in the city that never sleeps, don't let your electronics end your night early.

Jamberry Nails Mani: You need your nails looking great at all times, why put your trust in a product that will chip or ruin your nails? You'll be looking as good as day 1 all week long.

Sunday Somewhere sunnies- they are beautiful, practical and durable

Lipstick: try e.l.f's matte lipstick. Even if you don't have a second to freshen up, a good lip can change your look.

Business Cards (with a cute holder, of course)
Notepad and pen- to take notes
A great bag: something big enough to get you through the day, but pretty enough to use at night
snacks: for some reason, there is only ever time to eat one meal in New York, curb the 3 o'clock drag with some almonds
LBD: dress up, dress down..you need one

What is on your NYFW list?

Jamberry Fall Line

September 1st marked the first day of the new Jamberry Nails line!

I am super excited about this launch because the styles are spot on. Here are a few of my favorites.

Did you spot the new addition? Jamberry will release their new nail lacquer this October. If their polish looks as good as the wraps do, I swear I'll never purchase another brand again.
