I’ve Got A Crush

I’ve got a crush, a crush on crushed velvet that is.

Sometimes it can be tough keeping up with trends, staying on top of what’s hot and what’s not but this crushed velvet trend won’t be too hard to find because it’s absolutely everywhere at the moment. This Fall 2016 trend is taking over and not leaving anytime soon. Heavy textures and rich colors will transform your closet this season. Go ahead and hop on this bandwagon because you won’t regret it.

Hey, We’re Golden

img_5420 img_53811 img_5426 img_5418 img_53899

Golden hours and gilded leaves. When I think of Fall, I immediately think GOLD. Metallics have been hot for awhile and I’m not talking the 14 Karat kind that dangles around your neck, nope, I’m talking about this $40 Missguided dress. It’s luxurious and trendy and you won’t be breaking the bank when rocking it around the city. When paired with khaki or other neutral colors, this glimmering shade becomes even more brilliant.

Shimma Shimma

With metallic being all the rage this season, there’s no need to save your flashy pieces for after dark. Bring your shimmer and shine out into the daylight for everyone to see. This reflective, multicolored top caught the attention of many. If you’re goal is to stop traffic, I think this trend is for you. Whether it’s silver or gold accents you prefer, you can count on rocking this trend all through the holiday season. It’s almost October ladies. Go get you some SHIMMA-SHIMMA!

My Zumba Outfit

img_5267 img_52880 img_5270 img_5297 img_5288 img_53111img_5273

Coming from a girl that loved being active and danced her whole life, it’s quite ironic that fitness is no longer a part of my daily, weekly or (embarrassingly) monthly routine. I’m unmotivated. I’d like to think my lack of motivation comes from not being able to find a fitness program that suits me. I’m on the hunt for a great dance company/studio in the NYC area if anyone knows any. I would love to take some barre classes for toning but I’m more interested in some freestyle, hip-hop based dance classes where I can get dowwwn, if you know what I mean. In the meantime I love staying active and participating in some Zumba every now and then. It releases endorphins and all the negative energy while still having a blast. Working out shouldn’t be so serious. I highly recommend trying it ladies if you haven’t.

I can’t say goodbye without mentioning how absolutely adorable this work out set it is. I’m so in love with the soft blue shade, detailing and the material…oh my.

The best workout gear that will actually make you want to workout.

P.S. My sweet Finley was very eager to be in these photos and I’m so happy we decided to let him join us. He’s such a natural! Maybe I should sign him up for some doggie modeling. Wink wink.

Love & Pizza

img_55229 img_55203 img_5190 img_55242 img_5193

Love and some delicious New York pizza is all you need. My t-shirt says it all. If I had just these two things for the rest of my life, I think I’d be okay.

If wearing galactic inspired pants scares you, just bring them back down to earth with a casual tee. It softens the look and balances things out. I rocked this look during fashion week but don’t put it past me to rock a similar look every day of the week. Moving to NYC has really opened my eyes to more and more fashion and street style inspiration. No one cares what you wear. Everyone has such an open mind here. Wearing silly space pants on a Sunday is no big deal. I love it.
