CHLOE+ISABEL BY HELENA



I'm happy to announce that I will be working with Chloe+Isabel as one of their merchandisers under the G.E.M program for college students! This means that I have my own online boutique where I can choose my own collections to promote and you guys can shop directly in my boutique. I can help you find a piece to add to your collection or help you pick an item as a gift. C+I will directly ship your order to you and if you aren't happy with it you can return for a full refund. Another amazing part of this brand is that if the jewelry ever breaks or has a defect, it has lifetime guarantee where it can get replaced for no cost to you! I'm so excited for this opportunity and hope you can have a look and let me know what you think!

Manhattan Photo Diary

This is a compilation of my trip to New York City for my sisters birthday. This was the best experience I had in NYC and makes me want to go back again really soon!  These curated photographs include our travels to Central Park, SoHo, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Central Park Zoo.

PINK IN CENTRAL PARK




I have been in New York City for the past three days and the weather today was absolutely beautiful! It was a great day for exploring outside and wear this new blush pink coat I picked up from H&M. I started the day with brunch with my sister at Sarabeth's which overlooks the park and has the best pancakes I've ever had! I definitely will come back here when I visit again!

ZARA SPRING HAUL

As Spring is approaching, I decided to spruce up my spring wardrobe with some new pieces. I first went to Zara to search for these new pieces and they are having a great sale! Most of the items I ordered are still available but sizes are running out!
Suede Kimono with fringe detail Link to Item
I fell in love with this kimono the moment I felt the suede, its so soft, comfortable and a bit heavy which is a great transitional piece.

DESK INSPO




Having a clean and organized workspace is something I need to make sure that I am focused and dedicated to my work and studies. One of the things that keep me motivated is having an inspiration board and this can be made on any kind of canvas with images and words that inspire your future and things that you love. I have left spaces empty so I can add pieces as I find them or when I have new ideas. I also like having fashion material and magazines on my desk for outfit ideas or to read when I need a couple minutes to take a break from what ever I may be doing. I try to surround myself with positive messages and it helps me stay on task and on top of what I need to accomplish that day. Hope you find some inspiration from this post!

CURRENT BEAUTY FAVES



Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer with Goji Berry and Haloxyl:

I wear it in the color Honey Miel which is the perfect shade for my complexion. It covers any imperfection while also brightening your under eyes. 

Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss-Super Natural: 
Great nude color to wear on its own or over a lipstick, which is another favorite. 

Wet&Wild Lipstick:
Another great nude shade that I like to wear under the revlon lipgloss.

Sally Hansen nail polish: Glitz Gal
This nail polish is a really pretty glittery color which is perfect for the holidays. Its a dark silver shade with hints of purple,blue and silver running through it. 

The Body Shop: Vanilla Brulee Body Butter
The smell of this body better is amazing, its not a strong vanilla scent but more of coconut butter. Its a great moisturizer especially as we get into the winter months. 

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster
I have been searching for a bronzer that was going to leave my skin looking glowy and healthy. This bronzer is one of my holy grails now. It is a combination of powder, as well as baked and cream bronzers which gives an amazing finish.

SUEDE AFFAIR




Suede have been very big this season and a trend that will carry through winter. I thought I would incorporate it to my outfit for this look. I have chosen a suede draped vest from Max Studio and has a beautiful a symmetric style. It can be styled with many other outfits but I wanted to do an everyday/casual look also featuring my go to shoes to dress up any outfit.

SWEET WEDNESDAY

I was on the search for some really good donuts recently and I came across Duck Donuts in my area. So I decided to try them out on this rainy day and I was greeted with an amazing selection of donuts but skipped on the toppings, maybe next time! They make your order fresh and they are warm when you get them. I got the glazed,lemon,maple,vanilla and chocolate to try with some friends. Definitely recommend this donut shop!

FUR & LEATHER VIBES

This week has been pretty cold for fall and as November comes to an end I thought I would put together an autumn outfit before I have to wear layers of sweaters and jackets. This look incorporates leather which is a fall staple and fur which is a great transition piece from fall to winter.

Happy holidays and have a great week!

AUTUMN MONOCHROME


Its safe to say that summer is over and the fall season is in full swing! I am so excited for the fall, its definitely my favorite season of the year. Not only because of pumpkin spice drinks and the cooler weather but also for Fashion month which is now ending in Paris. Admiring all the designs and styles for the upcoming year and getting to see what everyone is wearing and who's seating front row in the shows is always exciting. Although the shows are for S/S 2016 and unrelated to the fall, the way everyone is dressed gives inspiration to what we can incorporate to our own wardrobes. This is a look I've been loving this season and this coat will definitely be a staple in my wardrobe this fall.

NEW IN

SUMMER LAKE




I spent the other day at Burke Lake, had a picnic and rented a motor boat for the afternoon. It was so much fun and great way to relax and wind down.
