WEARING: ROSE GAL METALLIC GOLD MINI SCALLOPED DRESS | 
NINA RICCI SHOES | KENDRA SCOTT CARLA EARRINGS

THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY ROSE GAL.

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend! What are you doing New Year's Eve? If you haven't found the perfect dress for the occasion, allow me to lend a helping hand! Gold is IN right now. And with this Rose Gal metallic mini scalloped dress, you'll be dancing the night away in no time! I paired the dress with champagne-colored satin slingbacks from Nina Ricci. I feel it complements well with the metallic as too much of anything, such as metallic on top of metallic, can be too much. The Kendra Scott Carla earrings are the loveliest droplets for this kind of glam holiday look.

So... are you more of the going out type on New Year's? Or do you like to stay in and cuddle at home for the big event? I, myself, don't mind either and have done my fair share of both. I think when you're young and/or single it's a grand ole time to be out painting the town red. But sometimes it's really great to just spend time with the ones you love. If I have one tradition on New Year's, it's definitely with a bottle of champagne! I love Veuve Cliquot especially, do you have a favorite tradition on New Year's? I hope whatever it is that you do, that it is spent with the ones you love and cherish most in the world. Life's too short for nothing less than extraordinary in your life. To 2017 and beyond! Cheers. :)

ADORE ME, SELF-PORTRAIT SERIES, DECEMBER 23RD, 2016.

This post is sponsored by Adore Me.

It's been a good hot minute since I've done a self-portrait series up on the blog. So when I partnered with Adore Me, a beautiful, high-quality, perfectly fitting lingerie line, I knew I wanted the challenge of photographing myself in not just lingerie, but in the most intimate expression of my style. And self-portraiture is not the easiest form of photography. But like I mentioned, I enjoy a difficult task. :)

When I first chose the two-piece bra and panty set I was somewhat apprehensive but wow! The set fits so well and I adore the teal color so much. The Venetia Unlined set is sexy, fun and playful. I'm also all sorts of in love with the Kelsey black satin robe. It's super chic, light and very comfortable. Tell me a girl that isn't into anything satiny! I definitely wanted to embody this through self-portraits.

Wishing you all a 'bootyful' holiday season! I'll be taking the next few days off for some much-needed R&R. I think it is healthy to take breaks from social media even if that's what you do full-time! I'll be back with a new photo shoot that holds a special place in my heart and a fun New Year's look! Merry Christmas. Peace & Love to you all.

Why Should Boys Have All the Fun?

December 21, 2016

WEARING: OUSHANG FRILL SLEEVE H-LINE PEARL SWEATER | 
ONEBUYE BLACK WORK STRIPES WIDE LEG PANT | OLIVER BILOU TAYLOR BAG | 
CALVIN KLEIN STRAPPY SANDALS | DANIEL WELLINGTON WATCH

This post is sponsored by Stylewe, Oliver Bilou & Daniel Wellington.

Most of you know I'm not much of a girly-girl. I don't wear pink, I rarely wear dresses and am as far from prissy as a woman could get! Why should boys have all the fun when it comes to wearing the pants in everything? Since when can't a gal wear her big girl pants and be taken seriously without the sole form of sex appeal? Fashion is all about the art of expressing yourself through style and trends. And lately, I'm feeling LIKE. A. BOSS. Girls run the world and this mixed play on masculine with feminine into this look is exactly my mood as of late. Instead of the regular blasé sequin holiday dress getup for your next Christmas party/event, why not roll through looking like one of Helmut Newton's tough, fierce and empowered (slightly masculine) female subjects?

The wide-leg striped pant fit me like a glove. I feel like a total bad ass when running around the city in them! Like Superwoman! With its tough masculine quality, I paired these trousers with a gorgeous, soft h-line pearl sweater. And since it's way too cold to be wearing strappy sandals bare, I added in some black tights to help finish the overall black outfit. Additional accessories are the Oliver Bilou Taylor bag and my new favorite Daniel Wellington watch. Aren't they both so wonderful? Sleek, minimal and chic. Love!

Stay tuned for one more post this week! On Friday, I'll be posting a new self-portrait series. Things might get a little saucy up in here! You've been warned! ;) Happy Hump Day, guys...

How To Get Ready for Your Holiday Parties with Dove

December 19, 2016

Can you believe Christmas is here this Sunday?! What a whirlwind December has been! There's really nothing like the hustle and bustle of New York during the holiday season. With very little time to waste in between work, events and holiday parties, I've been using the new Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant every morning to help me getting ready quick and easy. Sprays on instantly dry and I'm ready to go.

Not only does this new spray provide 48 hours of odor and wetness protection in addition to caring for your skin, but also offers the brand's signature 1/4 moisturizing technology. Dove knows when it comes to good skin care and it's a brand I've always trusted. And you can kiss those white residue stains goodbye with this new spray. Not to mention the lovely fresh scent in Original Clean. The dry spray antiperspirants also come in different fragrances, varying from clean to citrusy, they also have one for sensitive skin which I know so many of us have a lot more irritability during the colder winter seasons.

Lastly, in light of working with not one but two brands that bring me confidence to my everyday life, I was inspired to take self-portraits for both. Because taking self-portraits also require confidence I definitely wanted to show different forms of this feeling. It's not just one kind of aura, it has many embodiments. Such as many other types of emotions, there is light and there is dark. Curious as to what the other one will be about? Let's just say it's a little racier than me getting ready in a robe! Stay tuned! And if you love feeling confident in a flash just as much as I do, you got to give Dove's Dry Spray Antiperspirant a try, click here for more info.

WEARING: DRESS LILY SHAGGY OMBRE JACKET | BDG JEANS | 
UNIQLO HEAT TECH TURTLENECK | ALDO STUDDED BOOTS | MADORA HANDBAG | 
FELLO EYEWEAR AVIATORS | SILVERTONE HAMMERED BIG HOOP EARRINGS

This post is brought to you by Dress Lily & Fello Eyewear.

Season's Greetings! The last month of the year is always crazy and with the holidays around the corner, I've never been so busy with work! It's amazing I'm somehow able to manage it all with only 24 hours in a day, where even though it never feels like I'm doing enough with day-to-day meetings, events, photo shoots, and creating + editing content, I feel really good about where I am heading in my career. It finally feels right!

With that being said, I have some exciting news! I'm going to be a fashion blogger mentor for students in New York City who are passionate in a career such as mine, where I'll be giving personalized feedback on how I come up with creating content, finding ways to drive traffic to my blog and how I earn revenue from it. I am incredibly honored to do this as I've worked with children in the past as a figure skating coach. It's remarkable how everything always comes together. I'll be sharing more on this in the next couple of weeks - I'm very excited for this opportunity!

Lastly, today's look is brought to you by this stunning Dress Lily collarless ombre faux fur coat. Isn't it darling? I paired this shaggy coat with BDG jeans (my fav from this year), Aldo studded boots and big silver hoop earrings. I like to keep a fierceness in my style because I can be an intense person! It's who I am, no apologies. To heighten the look and make it a little kinky even, I improvised with a wrap-around choker and used it as a belt! The handbag is from Madora and the aviators are by this really cool brand called, Fello Eyewear. You guys should go check out their sunglasses.
