This past week I spend my Wednesday running around NYC. I had the pleasure of having a Tea date at my new favorite place Tea & Sympathy with Keiko and Karen. Nothing like chatting over a hot cup of tea on a cold day. In a day full of meetings and playtime, I wanted to dress up and got a chance to wear my new skirt that looks so playful in the wind. Can’t wait to dress this skirt down with a pair of biker boots and a chunky knit. Hope everyone has a fun weekend!!!!

Nothing says it’s winter like a cold chill in the air. This is the time of year that your ears start to freeze off so I pulled out my earmuffs I got as a gift during the holidays. (Thanks Mary!) When I don’t feel like wearing a hat they come in handy! This particular day was spent hanging out with Keiko in Brooklyn. We were running some errands so I bundled up in cozy layers.

This past weekend the snow came down in Philly. It was the perfect excuse to break in my new boots. My friend Morgan was in town so we spent the weekend in search of good food and relaxation. So we bundled up and walked around town. The first snow is always so magical! Hope everyone on the east coast is bundled up and sipping on some hot chocolate.

PS. For my Chinese readers, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! xoxo

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day with my dear friend Keiko in Brooklyn. After doing some exploring on my own in the morning, I headed with her and Bobby to Prospect Park for some fun outfit pictures. Never underestimate the beauty of a city park. It was a quiet and sun filled day and I saw plenty of dogs out for their daily walks. I have been layering up because of the frigid temperatures here in NYC so this sweater/blouse combo was a must. I was also excited to wear my new necklace I scooped up at forever21 this week. I life for their accessories. So CHEAP that you can just just about buy one of everything! I highly recommend you head over there immediately. Have a great weekend.

This past weekend I had a family holiday party and wanted to get gussied up. So I turned to the classic uniform; skinnies, blouse, blazer, and statement jewels. I received these gorgeous jewels from BaubleBar who challenged me to mix a few pieces into my daily outfits. This necklace was singing my name as soon as I took it out of its packaging. It reminds me of THIS one that I already have. A girl can never have too many faux pearls am I wrong? All in all it was the perfect look for playing with the tiny tots at the party, and eating lots of tasty home cooking.

I have been obsessing over leopard prints lately, especially THIS particular one that I have in dress form. The great thing about this top I am wearing is it was long enough to pair with leggings for some running around over the weekend. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday today and reflecting over this amazingly inspirational man, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I have always been a hat girl. So when I met Satya Twena last year at a conference, we had an instant connection. She made the gorgeous yellow hat that sits on top of my head. Not only is it a great classic shape, but its fun pop of yellow added some life to my look. Hats are such a great accessory and always keep things fun.

Stay tuned next week where I show you Satya’s studio filled with more amazing hat styles!

This is by far one of my favorite winter skirts. Mostly because the length is a bit longer and the faux leather material has some weight to it. It fun and edgy and paired with a chunky sweater it’s still classic. Just enough rock and roll for my day. I was out and about with Brian and needed to bring along my iPad to keep up with some work. I love how this case is disguised as a cute clutch and it doesn’t look like I am carrying around my tech goodies. Major SCORE.

Before the holidays, I had the pleasure of getting my haircut at Arrojo in NYC. I had won “The Ultimate Makeover” with none other than Nick himself. I was SO so excited because I have always watched Nick work his magic on the show What Not To Wear and ready to see how he could help me with my curly hair. Keiko came along with me to document the whole thing! Thanks love!!

The day started out by talking to Nick about what I wanted. I of course asked his opinion and he suggested I keep my style and length. What we both agreed on was to layer it up to add some much needed volume. So off we went!

Nick worked with precision and quickly pulled my look together.
I have been to Arrojo before, and knew I was in good hands.

My goldie locks were falling on the floor. How cute are Nick’s shoes?

After the cut, it was time for the products. I am actually already actively using Arrojo products at home so I was excited to see what Nick would recommend. First came the styling creme which was distributed throughout my hair to add some volume. He then took a small amount of cream wax and worked it through all of my hair. He then combed out my hair and started scrunching and drying. I am one of those people who always ask alot of questions at the hair dresser so I am able to recreate the look at home.

And there you have it! My finished look. A little shorter, filled with volume, and full of texture and fun! All in all I had a tremendous day and left feeling transformed. Just how you should feel after a great haircut. A very SPECIAL thank you to Nick Arrojo for the amazing cut and experience! It was a magical day.

PS. Want your haircut by Nick himself? Check out this Valentine’s day special they have going on now.
