Still Encouraging Me

My husband had bought me a tripod, a really nice one too!  He said “I’m not able to take your pics anymore so you’re going to need this."  I refused to use it and didn't even open it,

GOOD NYC DAYS

What a gorgeous weekend we had.  I hope every one of you had a blessed one – I definitely did.  I’m trying to make the best of my days, before the cold arrives.  Saturday I had a dentist appointment, I hate the dentist but we all know how important it is so I’m in there every 3 months for my deep cleanings.  Oh I had

AMAZON FASHION

A cross between comfy and sporty 

Yes momma has some rolls 😂

I never thought I’d be shopping on Amazon for clothes. Last year I bought one of my favorite bathing suits from there and I’ve been hooked ever since. They have so many styles of clothes that are fitting for every one and of every body type and very inexpensive.  I recently purchased this dress and I love it. It’s comfortable and true to size!  I was surprised at how well it fits me! I’m not sure if this dress is meant to be versatile but I’ve worn this it 2 different ways.  First set of pics I wore this dress to a BBQ.  It’s light, comfy, sporty and of course summery.  I would also wear this with some biker shorts underneath and some sneakers for a different look.  2nd set of pics I decided to style the dress differently.  I tied a small knot and wore ripped jeans for a more “stylish” look and off to a brunch date with my friends I went.  Stylish, a lil edgie yet comfortable.  This dress comes in several different colors, I might buy another one, maybe red.  If you haven't shopped for clothes on AMAZON I suggest you give it a try.  

Rainy Day Chic

Trench Coat - Ralph Lauren // Pant - NY&Co // Booties - Blondo Waterproof  // Purse - Longchamp

Looks like this will be my last Fall post, it snowed today here in NYC.  I haven’t been able to fully enjoy Fall and the gorgeous foliage this time of year blesses us with.  Snow, although beautiful can be quite messy and being from NYC the commute can be quite a nightmare.  Normally it takes me 10-15 minutes from work to home but today was horrific!  It took me 2.5 hrs, there was so much traffic and many accidents.  We were not ready as we were not expecting all this snow.  Not one plow truck or salt truck.  I am beyond tired and annoyed YET grateful that I made it home safe.

This was Tuesdays outfit:  I wore this cute trench coat since it was raining and I received many compliments on it.  I bought it at Nordstrom last year, I’m not sure if they still sell it but they have a ton of similar ones.  There’s something about a nice trench coat that makes your outfit very chic.

               

Labor Day 2018

Happy End of Summer!

I hope everyone had a great day.  What did you do?  I originally had no plans today but at the last minute we decided to catch a movie followed by dinner.  It was a good choice because honestly it was way too hot to do anything out doors but it would have been a waste of a day to stay home.  Afterwards we went home, unfortunately I have to work tomorrow so I couldn't hang, I was also a bit tired.

Over all it was a good day!  Now I patiently wait for cooler days - sweater weather.  

Normally I do not wear shorts but being that it was 91 degrees I decided to ditch the long pants.  Now, the thing about this hot weather is that I tend to get swollen.  You can probably tell, my sandals look a little snug.  With that being said I wore them for the first time today.  I though they were going to be much more comfy but swollen feet and new sandals aren't a good mix.  Initially upon trying them on I thought they were very comfortable but then after walking outside with them I noticed they slip off and they irritate my big toe.  I guess I have to break them in but I could of easily gone up a 1/2 size bigger.  I have another pair in Tan but after wearing these white ones today I decided that I'm going to return them.  I've been contemplating on getting the Hermes Oran sandals but after reading the reviews I could not justify paying so much for an uncomfortable sandal so instead I settled for the dupe which were on sale.  I really do like this sandal so I'm hoping they stretch a bit because I really want to take them on my next vacation, coming up very soon so be on the look out for that.  Anywho, it is way after midnight so to bed I go.

Flowy Florals

I need my nieces around more often!!  Hanging out with them usually turns into a photo shoot, me being the photographer but today was my turn to be in front of the lens.  When my niece asked if I wanted her to take pics of me I jumped on the opportunity.  I wish I had my camera but an iPhone had to do.  I wish I could blog more about fashion and my outfits of the day but its hard.  Kudos to my fellow bloggers who get it done on a daily basis, you truly inspire me.  Hiring my nieces is looking like a good idea at this point.  Photographer for hire!  Anyone?  Ha!!     

I love the versatility of kimonos, I decided to wear jeans but it would look great with shorts or as a bathing suit cover up.  This outfit was super comfy yet feminine and stylish.  I usually try to keep it very simple but I'm happy with how this look turned out.

Sunday Funday OOTD

Today was a chill day.  I went to my friend's housewarming party and it was tons of fun.  Tons of food, drinks and laughter.  It was a Sunday well spent.    

Today's funday called for a comfy OOTD   

I'm obsessed with these sneakers.  The floral print makes this the perfect summer sneaker!  So girly yet hip.  Adidas Superstar from Finish Line

This t-shirt is extremely comfortable, light weight and sooooo soft.  I couldn't find this tee online but I linked a similar one.  White T-Shirt from H&M 

I own several leggings and these may be my new favorite.  Again, very comfortable, they fit perfect around my waist unlike some other leggings which the elastic dig into my skin.  Highly recommend them.  Adidas Logo Leggings from Nordstrom

Yes, pictures were taken in a dirty Bronx hallway.
