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.

Harajuku meets Meagan Ollari in today's look post with embellished bead work, fun prints and white knee highs. The Ollari two piece set comes with a top with an embellished collar and shorts with embellishment around the pockets as well. As you know I adore putting a twist on things in fashion and this outfit in nothing short of that. Even though this set is more toward spring/summer wear, I wanted to show its versatility and uniqueness of Meagan Ollari's designs.

And so I added a little bit of Harajuku fashion from the streets of Japan. Big chunky wedges and schoolgirl-like knee highs certainly elevate the already gorgeous two piece set to another level. I also am loving this starry hair accessory piece by Dress Lily. They have some of the cutest accessories! To polish up the entire look, along with staying warm, I've been wearing the crap of out my VIP me camel coat. It's still perfectly fit for the season until it's time to bring out puffier winter coats, ha ha! And lastly, to bring out the red in the prints I toted around my NY & CO red clutch I've had for years. It's timeless, chic and perfect for the holiday season.

I've got a couple of giveaways going on through my Instagram account! Who wants free gifts before Christmas? ;) One includes an amazing handbag and the other giveaway is coming up this weekend! Come check it out... until next time have a great Friday! I'm off to a bunch of holiday events - cheers to fun, festive, and hectic times! ❤️

EVA HAIR NYC ❤️ OLD NAVY TRAVEL - SIZE COLLECTION: CLEAN UP SHAMPOO | 
SOFTEN UP CONDITIONER | THERAPY SESSION HAIR MASK | ROCK-A-WAVE CURL CREAM |
 FRESHEN UP DRY SHAMPOO | SURF'S UP! TEXTURE SPRAY | MINI-STRAIGHTENER

This post is brought to you by Eva Hair NYC

Happy Hump Day and Happy last month of 2016! Get ready to ring in the New Year with a terrific haircare brand, Eva Hair NYC, based in Brooklyn, New York. Can I just start by commenting on the vibrant and boho chillax feel in their packaging?! This was the first thing I noticed when I received their travel kit sized collection. It includes shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, curl cream, dry shampoo, texture spray, and even an adorable cute mini-straightener.

1. CLEAN UP SHAMPOO

The Clean It Up Shampoo is a daily shampoo that gently cleanses, restores and nourishes hair. With Keravis™ Protein Complex it is scientifically proven for 3X stronger hair. Also containing Argan oil, this feeds hair with Vitamins A & E, Omegas 3, 6, 9, keeping your hair healthy, shiny and smooth.

2. SOFTEN UP CONDITIONER

The Soften Up Conditioner is a daily conditioner that gently moisturizes, detangles and repairs hair. This conditioner also contains Keravis™ Protein Complex and Argan Oil. And the smell of both the shampoo and conditioner are amazing!

3. THERAPY SESSION HAIR MASK

The Therapy Session Hair Mask is a daily or weekly treatment that deeply conditions, repairs and strengthens dry and damaged hair. It is a wonderful weekly hair mask to use and has been keeping my hair moisturized and silky!

4. ROCK-A-WAVE CURL CREAM

The Rock-A-Wave Curl Cream is a moisturizing leave-in treatment that lightly sculpts and defines curls while taming frizz and fly-aways. I simply love this cream because it really helps with my wavy hair. It texturizes but not overkill. Simply smells delicious and keeps those locks hydrated!

5. FRESHEN UP DRY SHAMPOO

The Freshen Up Dry Shampoo is a weightless spray that cleans without water, absorbs excess oil, and adds instant volume - with no white residue (which is kind of annoying, am I right ladies?) The natural rice starch absorbs excess oil and is a gentle alternative to harsh talc or aluminum. Containing Vitamin C & Omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9 all enhance shine while moisturizing and strengthening the hair.

6. SURF'S UP! TEXTURE SPRAY

The Surf's Up! Texture Spray is a weightless spray that creates instant texture and volume, with a dry, matte finish. With zeolite - a natural mineral that builds texture without salt I found it to be very effective in giving lovely beach waves to my hair.

7. MINI-STRAIGHTENER

The mini-straightener is a small but powerful travel iron perfect for touch-ups and styling on-the-go. The 100% ceramic and titanium plates radiate far-infrared heat and lock in moisture for a smooth, frizz-free finish. The added cosmetic bag and dual voltage feature make these the ideal travel companion for instant beautification. And how cute is the pouch?! I love anything iridescent.

'Tis the Season for Red

December 2, 2016

WEARING: VIP ME RED COAT | FOREVER 21 KNIT SWEATER |

MACY'S PEARL EARRINGS | MADORA BLACK POM POMM HANDBAG

SPONSORED POST IN COLLABORATION WITH VIPME.COM

It's getting festive up on the blog this month! Happy December & Happy Holidays! Today's post is brought to you by vipme.com, the largest flash sale online retailer in the world! They not only carry fashion apparel but also handbags, shoes, jewelry and tons of more accessories to fit any fashionista's needs.

Now that we're gearing up towards the holiday season, I wanted to find a bright red winter coat. I love this one I got from vipme.com, the slits and cut of the coat is amazing and I love the material too as it's slightly fuzzy (50% mohair). What's great about this coat is not just its vibrancy, but that it's an amazing day-to-night coat.

You can style it casually as I did here with a white knit sweater, slightly distressed denim and black criss-cross pumps. To make the day look a tad chicer, I also added pearl earrings and a Pom Pom black handbag. This red coat would also be fantastic paired with a holiday sequin dress or any kind of wintry evening look. How would you guys style this coat at nighttime?

Lastly, you can use my code, 'Suzanne379' to get $5 off your purchase of any order over $50!

Portraits of Sammy

November 30, 2016

photos by Suzanne Spiegoski

It's portrait time! As many of you, I am not just a blogger and writer, but also a photographer. I mostly focus on portraiture & lifestyle and have been shooting since I was a teenager. And lately, I've been shooting more on a regular basis which has been nothing but totally awesome!

So, every once in a while I come across a person that if I don't photograph him or her I will most certainly regret it. Enter Sammy: half-Indian half-British Ford model and actor. I was quite surprised when he first spoke because I wasn't expecting a soft gentle voice from such an intense, mysterious face! What a beautiful creature and an even kinder soul. We became quick friends and I cannot wait to shoot with him again soon. You can find Sammy on Instagram and Twitter.

Interested in working with me? Send me a message on Instagram or email me at suzanne.spiegoski@gmail.com I always love hearing from you guys! And if you're in New York City like I am, stay dry out there! The past couple of days have been raining like cats & dogs! Until next time..
