Helpful Hints: Packing!

I promised a blog about packing and I don't want to disappoint, so here it is!
     1. Make a full list, including clothing, accessories, and shoes that will be worn each day, special  dinner outfits, and cosmetics
     2. Check everything off as you pull it out of your closet, drawer, etc
     3. Pack silks on the bottom, so they wont move around as much (everything will weigh it down)
     4. Make sure you pack face powder, face lotion, and eyeliner (to apply before debarking, you will thank me later!)
     5. Double, triple, and quadruple check; you don't want to leave anything important behind!


Anyone have other good tips for packing? Anyone going anywhere fun this summer??


Auf Wiedersehen from Germany! (I'm in a layover waiting for my connecting flight to Venezia!)

Suri Cruise and a Little Bit of Katie Holmes

Ever since Katie Holmes pulled the plug to her marriage to Tom Cruise (thank god!), all eyes have been on her and Suri Cruise as they create their life in NYC. Katie and Suri have been photographed in matching outfits more times than one. Personally, I cannot wait to have a little girl to dress like me! LOL.

Pretty in Pink!

Floral Fun!

Black and White all over!

Would you dress up to match your child?

Packing for a Mega-Long Vaca!

On Thursday I leave for a European cruise and I will be gone for 19 days. Let me just start to say that 19 days is such an intimidating number of days to pack for! Being a fashioinista does not help the matter, since most things can't be worn twice! In my eyes the only things that can be worn more than once are bottoms, you pair them with a different top and they become a different bottom. Tomorrow I will be posting just a few examples of what I am bringing and how I went about packing! Talk to you all tomorrow :)

Pretty Little Liars at the Teen Choice Awards

In honor of tonight's episode of Pretty Little Liars, I decided to save five fab fashion choices from the Teen Choice Awards last night for today. Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, Troian Bellisario, and Janel Parrish all looked flawless on the pink carpet! Pretty Little Liars took so many awards; they won Choice Tv Show - Drama, Troian Bellisario won Choice Summer TV Star, Lucy Hale won Choice TV Actress, Ian Harding won Choice TV Actor, and Janel Parrish won Choice TV Villain!

Weekend Fun

Since this is the last weekend before I go to Europe for the next few weeks, I was super super busy! That being said, I did not have a chance to photograph my outfits. Both Friday and Saturday I worked and today I went to the movies and did some shopping with my family. On Saturday I wore a dress that is from Club Monaco (obviously! LOL) called the Jessica Dress. It is a lightweight maxi dress that is uber comfy! Today, I wore Mint Green jeans from Garage and a White Jessica Simpson sweater (a pic is below!) This weekend I bought a two new items for fall, a printed pair of Jessica Simpson jeans and a pair of corduroy skinny jeans from Free People.

My new Free People skinnies (in Sangria!)

My new Jessica Simpson jeans (love, love, love this print!)

My outfit for today!

What did you guys do this weekend?!

My Fashion Diary during July 16 - July 19

I have decided that every Friday morning I will post my fashion diary of what I wore from Monday-Thursday of that week. On Sunday night I will post my weekend fashion. I love putting new and different outfits together, it is artwork to me. When I compare what I wear to work as opposed to what I wear on "fun" days, it is always quite different. Well, anyway here is my diary for this week :) Enjoy!

On Monday I went to Riverside Square in Hackensack, NJ to do some shopping and grab some lunch with my sister and mom. This purple dress reminded me of the color of Barney from when I was little. I am a dress lover so I had to buy it, the dress is from Cotton On. As for my accessories: the belt is old, I am not sure wear I got it; the bracelet is from Club Monaco, it is over two years old; and my shoes are Jessica Simpson, she is one of my idols and I love her collection!
                                            

Tuesday was a work day and this dress from Club Monaco is one of my favorite casual dresses and since the high was near 100, I decided why not wear it to work. My blue ring is from Kim Kardashian's jewelry line called Belle Noel and my bracelet is from Club Monaco as well. I am loving my orange nail polish right now! More on that later.

This was another work day, so the dress is from Club Monaco and that is the same bracelet from the day before, I always have a few hair ties on my wrist just in case. The ring is the same Aldo ring I wore in my Classic Saturday post. After work, I met my friend for sushi and this dress was the perfect dress for BOTH occasions. It was both nice enough for work and chic enough for sushi. To add a little more personality to the dress, a skinny colored belt would be perfect. 

                    

 


Thursday was a busy day, I met one of my best friends fo lunch at Grand Lux then did some shopping with my sister and mom, and then it was off to work. The only problem was that I did not want to get out of bed and do anything, so my solution was this. Dark blue skinny jeans from Club Monaco, a white loose cold shoulder top from Club, and a blue stone necklace from Francesca's Collections. The necklace was the perfect accessory to dress up my outfit.

Stay tuned for my weekend fashion diary Sunday night. I love sharing with you guys xxo.

Ohhh Kimye...matchy matchy!

Kim Kardashian has been one of my favorite fashion icons, celebrities, and businesswomen since she first started on season one of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I know that she has a lot of haters, but that will never change my mind about her. Now, everyone knows she is dating rapper Kanye West, but has anyone else realized how they are so matchy matchy? LOL. Well I have, and here is a nice round up of their matching styles!
