#HeyModa

I have been picking up some goodies from Modamix this season, and I can say I am quite hooked. Each collection that drops, there is at least 2-3 things that I want. Couple of weeks back I attended the Modamix x Hey Gorgeous Holiday party. I love chatting it up with the Modamix gals Sam & Ellice, and non-stop champagne. Modamix is now available at Hey Gorgeous and to celebrate, all Modamix items were 25% off. Discount you say- so of course I definitely had to check out what else I could add to the collection. 

When I saw Jessica, I knew she had to be mine. Not only is the sweater is soft, but the gold coating at the bottom just gives it some added oomph. For me the simplest things make the most impact. This sweater is only available at Hey Gorgeous, so ladies pick it up or sit in regret (My only regrets are clothes that I waited too long to buy). When I was talking to the Modamix ladies about the sweater, I said that I would wear this with some knee high boots, and so I did. These Ros Hommerson have been in my closet for a couple of years, but I never put them to good use. Why- have no clue, but I broke these bad boys out and strutted around the neighborhood. While this weather has been great to us New Yorkers, I am going to bask in it. To top off my outfit, I went with the Modamix Mori coat. Anytime I wear this coat, I receive so many compliments. If you are interested  in a new coat, definitely pick this one up. It's currently on sale, and if you don't want to go with classic black, it comes in royal blue. Now back to me strutting around. Muah lovers!!

Ugly Sweater Christmas Party

This past weekend I attended Essie Golden's First Annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Party in the city. It was held at LMHQ in the Financial District. We are well into December, but it has been the mildest December in years. It was a beautiful 60 degree night, so I felt this was a great opportunity to wear a skirt sans tights. Don't get me wrong, a good pair of tights can do wonders, but I love having an option of not having to wear them. For the party, I wore my sequin camo skirt from Lane Bryant. It was an Ugly Sweater party, but I am more of a jokester so I wanted to wear something that can make people laugh. While browsing through Macy's for something, I came across this sweatshirt from American Rag Young Men's. I'm going to be honest, I consider myself one of the best gift wrappers out here, so that sweatshirt is a cosign to my mad crazy skills. A little fur is needed during the holiday season, but since it was so mild, I went with my Lane Bryant fur vest (it's on sale...so hop on that fast). I topped off my look with my Steve Madden heels, and some ruby lips.

I had a good time with my girls. I can definitively can say that at this point in my life, all I need are my friends, cocktails, and some food to make my night. While we are on the topic of food, it was delicious. There was this Miso Chicken bite that was my fav. There were some wings as well as a spicy meatball that were A1 as well. The desserts were my fav (naturally of course, because I am a sugar junkie). I tried the cake pops from Drea Cakes and they were soo good. Definitely check her out. She is the sweetest and can make one hell of a dessert. I also had a chance to try Mikey Likes It Ice Cream. I had their Hot Chocolate Ice Cream Float and it was delicious. I had this one cocktail which had pink lemonade and raspberry- so awesome! There was a pop up shop, a photo booth, and we took home a goodie bag courtesy of Ashley Stewart. 

I had a great time, and can't wait to see what's in store for next year! Merry merry!!

Shine Bright

Remember when wearing stripes was a big no no? Wearing sequins was not even an option for us at one point. My how the times have changed. Sequins always had a soft spot in my heart since my days in dance school. Fun costumes with all their sparkly glamour. The more sequins the better. Now looking back, I have always been a fashion addict, because I am sitting here reminiscing about costumes from my childhood...lol.

I was going to the Erykah Badu concert in Brooklyn, and I felt this was the perfect occasion to wear my Striped Collared Sequin Dress from Eloquii. When this dress went up on their site, it was a must have for me. I do enjoy dressing up, and this is the perfect dress for it. It's preppy collar and stripes give this dress a wearable appeal despite it being made entirely of sequins. Most sequined clothing limits your range of motion because the lining does not stretch. This is not the case with this dress. This dress is sold out on their site, but Eloquii has a polka dot version. Definitely check out their site, because they are going fast (four women at the concert stopped me and asked where I got it from). I paired the dress with the Adele Laser Cut Bootie. I thought these were the perfect booties to wear for a night out on the town. The wide width of these are perfect, and you can feel the extra cushioning.  The bootie is 4 inches, so if you are like me and have been wearing 2-3 inch heels for so long, going back to 4 inches was a little weird at first. After my feet got used to some height I was fine for the rest of the night. 

I had so much fun at the concert. Erykah did her thing and it was great spending time with my friends. Now that we are in holiday season you can easily get caught up with work, shopping, and just the everyday hustle, it's nice to have a night out with great music, friends and a great cocktail. The countdown is on lovers, how are you going to spend the last month of 2015?

#DashandBash

Hello Lovers!! The Holiday Season is officially in full swing and I as well as my awesome blogger boo's got together to do a Holiday Lookbook featuring Lane Bryant.

During the holidays, I tend to stay in more and watch movies and basketball with the family, so picking Cozy Christmas as my theme was a no brainer. This outfit from Lane Bryant is perfect for Christmas shopping, or just lounging out for some good ole Netflix & Chill. A jogger is essential, especially one with a great embellishment. I love a good jogger, because you easily dress this up with pumps and a jacket, or dress it down like myself and wear a comfy sweater and puffer vest.  My sweater is called the Double V Pullover, and ladies if you do not have one in your closet, please add it immediately. I love sweaters that I can easily transition the majority of the year. I can wear this sweater as a base (like I did here), or I can wear it over a button up for a preppy feel. It feels great against the skin, and it comes in a myriad of colors. When I am out and about on the weekends, I love throwing on a vest. It's the best of both worlds. I can be warm when I am outside, but while I am in stores I am not hot with tons of layers on. I am a big fan of the Livi Active collection- the collection is fun athletic wear and this Metallic Vest is thin yet extremely warm. The weather here in NY has been pretty warm during the day, but breezy, and this vest has kept me warm. Added bonus, I got to walk this cutie Anakin (Darlene's baby) while he made his blogging debut. Isn't he just too cute!!!! 

Shout out the fab 6!! Don't they look amazing!?! Definitely check out all my fellow blogger boo's websites.

Don't forget to add the hashtag #DashandBash to your LB looks this season!! Muah!
