Velvet Crush





Shirt: K-mart // Blazer: Topshop // Shoes: Asos // Necklace: Poshmark // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Stone Ring: Chloe Rose Boutique // Watch: Michael Kors


For the winter I am totally crushing on velvet. It brings a rich, luxurious vibe to a look and is perfect for adding texture to an otherwise simple outfit like this.  Paired with my new cap-toe heels that I have been on the hunt for for-ev-er, leopard clutch and a few sparkling accessories- I am definitely feeling winter-chic. Next on my list: velvet blazer.

Are you loving velvet? If so, how are you wearing it?

My Must-Have Boots






Jeans: Forever 21 // Chambray top and Vest: Marshall's // Boots and Bag: Poshmark // Assorted Bracelets: Tj Maxx, Forever 21, H&M

Do you ever see a certain style of something and you just won't stop until you find something similar to satisfy your need? That is exactly what happened with these boots. After seeing this fly lady rock her Freebird boots, my search had begun, my Poshmark search that is! Realizing that these aren't exactly my style, I knew I wanted a more affordable option to act as a trendy piece vs. an investment piece...and it didn't hurt that I had Poshmark credit burning a hole in my virtual pocket. Lucky enough for me I came across these babies at only $30.00 and instantly hit the "buy now" button, and the rest is history. 

What was your last must-have now, won't stop until I get it, piece?

Happy Friday! <3

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!

Shimmer & Shine





Sweater: K-mart // Jeans and Necklace: Forever 21 // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Shoes: Boutique 9 // Ring: Chloe Rose // Lipstick: Wet n Wild

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Since I had no plans to crash anyone's Christmas this year, I spent some quality time with Tula.... I also baked, cleaned, did laundry, went on long walks--pretty darn relaxing actually! But I think everyone is still in holiday mode getting ready for NYE, so I thought I would share a simple, yet festive look with you all. I love anything with some sparkle (don't we all?!), so when I saw this glistening beauty at K-mart while doing some holiday shopping, I had to scoop it up--and at only $10--I got it in a basic black too! Paired with nude pumps, a studded bag and a red lip- perfect for happy hour with a friend! 

I guess it's safe to start my birthday countdown considering it is on SATURDAY! 3 days and counting...
