Life's Little Luxuries
What to Wear, Where on Valentine’s Day!
Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is a hop, skip and jump away. If you hate it, then it’s time to jump on Bumble and get yourself a honey… If you love it, then we have plenty of info to make sure your dreamy night ends up delicious and steamy. Call it a Hallmark holiday or a good excuse to have a killer meal and buy a new sick outfit! Are you coupling up for cuffing season or rolling downtown in a taxi packed with your girl squad?
Boat Neck or Sweetheart?
Round, heart shaped, oval… ya ya – you’ve heard people say how beautiful you are and then compliment your face shape. I have to be honest… I don’t always take it as a flattering note when a mention of my round face comes into play. Face shapes have certain silhouettes that accentuate and flatter.
Why So Much Love For Louis (Vuitton)?
We all play favorites sometimes… Favorite friends, favorite spot to vacay and most importantly favorite brands! No matter what new designers hit the market there is always the classics. Ya know, the ones you constantly are trolling our site for. Those designers that always say SOLD OUT when you see that bag you have been dying for! Let’s get straight to it – I’ve had a love affair for years with a man named Louis Vuitton. He’s French, a designer and a businessman – and while no longer around he has left gorgeous logo keepsakes for me to cherish!

New Year Resolutions and How To Make Them Happen - For Real!
Just like that, it’s a New Year and we have our list of resolutions that we once again are going to try to conquer. Year after year we have the same list of resolutions yet for most of us they never seem to happen. Why can’t we set a goal and make it happen? Do you not even make resolutions anymore because you think you’ll just fail? Why is it that by the end of January we have already given up on something that seemed so important and meaningful just a few weeks prior? You know – the gym, starting a business, more traveling or seeing that old friend we lost touch with. I can help!
What Your Zodiac Sign Says About Your Style!
The second people get a whiff of the sarcasm oozing out of my pores and notice that I feel my best while wearing black and sporting major cleavage they often ask, “What’s your sign?” Now c’mon, I am never one to believe in aliens, ghosts or that every Scorpio happens to be the same… but every time I read that little blurb in the back of my monthly People magazine I have to say hmm. Always a skeptic, I will have to say-sounds like me so maybe they’re onto something!

Times Square or a killer loft party, you’ll want to be equipped with a dope outfit so that you’re feeling your best as you usher in the New Year.

Time to bundle up because that ultra thick sweater just isn’t going to cut it for the commute to work anymore. I must admit, I am a coat junkie.

We’ve put together a list of the 5 must have winter coats you need now! Already have them… not so fast!

These lil’ numbers will go fast – so get to shopping! We certainly hope that our boyfriends, husbands and moms see this blog post :)
The 5 Best Ways To Rock Fur This Season!
These days it seems like we all need to make a statement! We have seen classic shoes and accessories take on a new spin with colors, fabrics and embellishments so it’s no surprise that this Fall our old mink coats are now “yesterdays news”. Check out any runway show from this past fashion week and I dare you to find a designer that didn’t give us some boom boom pow slap in the face with a sick fur spin. Designers have really stepped up their game and reworked the lux classic into new daring and exciting looks. These aren’t your grandmas’ pelts, but now edgy takes on colors, silhouettes and innovative ways to rock what is proven to be the warmest (and most fabulous) winter fabric you can ever drape yourself in.
