Mini Engagement Session

Hi All! I cannot believe it is wedding week. I am working diligently to get everything finished by this Wednesday so I can enjoy the rest of the week with the least stress as possible. Wish me luck! Anyway, a couple days ago I convinced Ben to finally do a mini engagement session. It was well worth it. I love these pictures. We are planning to blow one of them up to poster size to use as our guest book, where people sign around the border and we frame it as a keepsake from our wedding. What was your guest book at your wedding? Check out our mini session below.

Guess Who’s Back

Guess who’s back, back again! I took a quick break from blogging to do some wedding and other business stuff but now I am back. The wedding is two weeks from today and I feel pretty calm about it, but ask me how I am doing in a week, lol! Anyway, fall is among us. Actually the first day of fall is my wedding day. So how are you transitioning to fall like weather? Me, with cute dresses and booties of course! Like in this outfit, it is perfect for those still warm afternoons and even cooler mornings and evenings. Booties are probably one of my favorite things about colder weather. I plan to add some new ones to my shoe closet this season, so stay tuned! What are you looking forward to this fall?

Skincare with Live No B.S.

   

Let’s face it we are all getting older! We might not want to admit it, but it is true! So you should take care of your skin. I had the opportunity to try this Live No B.S. Retinol Night Cream and I love it. Definitely a new staple in my nighttime skincare routine. I must say I used to be a little scared when I heard the word retinol, but I did my research and learned that it actually is great for your skin. Who else is/was a little scared of it??

So let me give you the low down on retinol. It is a vitamin A compound that helps with fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, acne spots, and discoloration. Retinol is completely safe and many women use it to make their skin have a more youthful appearance. I personally have no worries about using it now  especially since I have found this Live No B.S. Retinol Night Cream. Check out my YouTube video (here) to see why I love this product so much and why you should too!

All Around the Merry Go Round

Happy Monday! Where has the weekend gone?!? I feel like every weekend I have good intentions to get multiple thing accomplished, then I blink and it is Sunday night. Ugh! Does this happen to anyone one else? Time needs to slow down so I can get through my to do list.

Anyway, summer is almost over so I thought it was a perfect time to wear this Zaful two-piece floral short set. It is comfy and casual, great for a hot end of the season summer’s day. I accessorized with a tan wristlet, gold jewelry, and cheetah print flats. What are your end of the season favorites? Also, how awesome is this carousel (Jane’s Carousel) at Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo? Amazing! A must when you visit NYC.

Dancing in the Street

Every once and awhile you find that perfect party dress and you know it! This one has me singing “Dancing In the Street”, and literally dancing. This dress is flirty and fun and no other back drop than the Brooklyn Bridge, would have done it justice. The all black, side cut out cocktail dress with ruffles is a show stopper and perfect for girls night or a fancy date night. I love the ruffles and the blue undertone. I accessorized with strappy heels, a multi-colored detailed purse, a red lip and gold jewelry.

Motivated in Brooklyn

Last week I was living my NYC dreams. This city is by far one of my favorites. I always get the sense opportunities are endless there. As I looked out at the vast cityscape and the Brooklyn Bridge it excites me! The energy is there and the motivation is there. It reminds me to not sit on my dreams and help others to reach their’s too.

The day was perfect for this bright yellow Zaful off the shoulder dress. It is airy, light and comfortable. Definitely size up because it runs small. I accessorized with a dual tone tassel necklace, navy espadrille flats, and merlot color lipstick. This outfit is perfect for the hot summer weather.

Seeing Red

Shop: Dress (one, two) | Wedges | Handbag | Lipstick | Earrings | Bracelet

Happy Independence Day America!! I thought this red dress was fitting for the holiday. What are your plans on this patriot day? Mine going to a pool party and cleaning, blah to the cleaning but it has to be done.

Front tie dresses have been very popular this summer and this one for me didn’t disappoint. The color,  the fit and the movement are perfect. It is light and flowy, great for a hot summer’s day. I paired it with large gold chandelier earrings, wedges, a red lip and a straw handbag. And how cute is this hammered copper cuff? Accessories can definitely help make an outfit.

Shop this look below and have a wonderful 4th of July.
