WWDMAGIC Recap


I am so sorry for making you wait for this update, I have been really sick this past week-ugh! I had the absolute best time ever at WWDMAGIC and have you all to thank! I felt right at home in my element and it's an opportunity that I will never forget...I really hope I can go again next season (fingers crossed!). There were so many highlights of the trip that I thought it would be fun to share my top ten moments/ discoveries with you...even though there were more like 100 top moments.


10. PJ Salvage Pajama Party: Night one was filled with wine, adorable PJ Salvage pjs, and lots of Beyonce. It was the perfect way to kick of our week in Vegas together. It couldn't have been better planned that I happen to be wearing my pug tank top that day--too perfect with my pug pjs!

9. Fashion First Aid: Because WWDMAGIC was the size of a football field, I knew I would need lots of essentials to help with staying comfortable. Cue- The Fashion First Aid Kit filled with band-aids, double sided tape, a portable pocket for business cards AND MORE, this kit was so handy! Other items I brought that helped save me: Mophie Case, Julep Blister Stick, and my DIY'ed embossed business cards!

8. Beacher's Madhouse: What's Vegas without a fun night out on the town? All the WWDMAGIC bloggers got dolled up for a wild night at Beacher's Madhouse at the MGM Grand which was seriously SO fun! Dancing teddy bears, freak show skits, and dancing on tables? Yes, please! I highly recommend a night at Beachers if you haven't been!


7. Outerwear heaven: One of the panels I spoke on was what upcoming winter trends will be hot for 2014. I instantly was drawn to all different kinds of statement coats from pastels and plaids to furs and leather! I became overly obsessed with this cotton candy style coat from Glamorous- isn't it fun?!



6. Lulumari: You all know I have a thing for bold and bright colors, so the moment I walked up to the Lulumari booth it was like the color G-ds had opened this booth up just for me. From the pops of neons to their amazing wall of bold statement necklace, Lulumari was definitely a favorite!



5. Metallics trending: One of my favorite trends that kept popping up were metallics! From this fierce Poppy Lux asymmetrical silver skirt, to Melie Bianco's wall of metallic purses, this is one trend that I am SO on board with.



4. Accessories Galore: I. love. accessories! I say it time and time again, but you can wear something as simple as bf jeans, ballet flats and a blazer...but once you add the most amazing accessories it really completes a look. I think speaking on the Accessories Trend Panel was my favorite because I got to showcase items that reflect my personal style- like this holographic neon clutch, gorgeous Lulumari statement necklace, and fun ombre sunglasses from West Coast Eyewear!




3. #SWAG: Considering I had to buy an extra duffel bag (in addition to the empty one I brought flat in my suitcase) it's safe to say we got hooked up! Thank you to all the brands who gifted everything a fashion lover could dream of! I can't wait to share everything I got with you soon!

2. Speaking on panels: I've done public speaking gigs before (Hey, PoshFest Emcee!), but being able to share my own experiences on social media, trends, and blogging really was an amazing experience. Thank you to everyone who came by the Social House to listen to what we had to say!


1. Meeting new people: By far my favorite part of WWDMAGIC was meeting the other official bloggers who are all gems! My roomie Kaelah is such a sweetheart, all the gals at StyleSmith took such great care of us, and it was an honor to meet and connect with all the brands and designers!



Stay tuned for more updates from WWDMAGIC soon! Thanks again to everyone who made this possible! XO!

Jet Setting: Vacation Recap


Long Branch Beach, NJ

Lobster, anyone?

Got to have a coffee date with my girl Jen, of House of Jeffers!

Tuna Nicoise

Happy Birthday to my Zadie!

Family love

Cheers to sunshine by the shore!
Sister love!

Posh Party fun!


After a busy, jam packed, 10 day trip, I am finally home...phew!

This trip was very special to me because I don't get to visit my family in New Jersey very often, so I was extra excited getting to surprise my grandpa by flying in to celebrate his 85th Birthday and spend quality time with all of my family. Every summer growing up I used to take trips to the shore with my mom, aunt, and sister, so it was a real treat that we got to escape for a night to unwind, eat amazing seafood, and relax on the beach like we used to back in the day. From NJ I went right to Texas for our Dallas and Houston Posh Parties which were such a blast and I loved meeting our Texas Poshers!

But you know the saying you need a vacation from your vacation--that is definitely how I am feeling right about now.  Glad to be back to blogging, though! Missed you!

2012 in Review



To say this year was great is a total understatement- I can easily say that 2012 was the best year of my life! I challenged my self with so many firsts that I think this post would be a mile long if I went through everything(ok, this post got long but it's worth it I swear!), but I want to share a few of the my favorite and most meaningful moments with you..so without further adieu!

1. New beginnings: A lot of you may not know, but this time last year I was laid off from my job, leaving me in a place of confusion and shock. I picked myself up, determined to not let it get the best of me and viewed the world as my oyster. Previously working in the fashion tech space I knew I was in the best possible place for my career options and took that positive state of mind to land seriously what I consider to be my dream job. I am surrounded by such inspirational, passionate, fabulous people, that I am truly lucky to share my days with them! Go team Poshmark- excited for what 2013 has in store for all of us!
2. Starting Fashionablee Me-duh! Always working in fashion and contributing to blogs for years, it was only a matter of time for me to take the bull by the horns and start my own blog- it seems like just yesterday I shared my very first post with you, or got featured in the New York Times Fashion & Style Section, challenged myself to style up a turban, discovered the sock bun..and a ton of other fab memories!! It's been such an experience getting to be creative and document something so dear to my heart, not to mention all the fabulous people I have gotten to meet and connect with! I look forward to sharing even more fun, and of course fashionable things with you in the next year! 
3. Wedded bliss: This year I added a brother to my family! My sister is now a happily married woman and I was so lucky to be apart of her special day! From helping plan a surprise proposal, to becoming the maid of honor in a dream beach wedding, I am so excited and happy to have spent this memorable time with our families! So much love!

 I only see 2013 being even more amazing, and I can't wait to spend another year with you all! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting me, you have all touched my life and I can't wait for 2013! 

Cheers to a sparkly, and safe New Year! XO!
