A Fashionista's Dream Come True

June.14.2014 The Date had been set. I was aware of this vision I had in my head, the execution had begun.  First, dress shopping. My one and only stop was Valentina Bridal in Staten Island New York. The staff was amazing and believe it or not the second dress I tried on was the dress. I then headed to Bridal Styles Boutique an amazing store where headpieces appeared as art work to my doe eyes. A custom made headpiece of exactly what I wanted was created as well as a beautiful lace cathedral veil. Traditional was very important to me. Timeless and classic was the look I was going for. EXCEPT for my headpiece, as I do in my everyday life. I wanted the headpiece to be a statement piece. Finally the day had come and I was headed to Da Noi On Fifth where my hair and vision had finally come together. I met my groom at the alter as he whispered you look absolutely stunning. Words every woman hears everyday but felt that more special on that day. OUR DAY !

In Honor Of Sarah Jessica Parker

For My Birthday last June, I was thrilled to open up my first pair of Manolo Blahnik's. We all know the beautiful scene, where Mr. Big seals the deal with this shoe. I hold it dear to my heart. Since she came out with her own line, it reminded me how lucky I truly was to own such an iconic shoe. For all my fashion girls xoxo

Ms. Carrie Bradshaw Finally out with shoe collection. SJP COLLECTION

We all watched in awe of her closet and fashion sense. When I say "her" I am referring to Sarah Jessica Parker who famously played Carrie on sex and the city.  Known for her Manolo's, she finally teamed up with George Malkemus president of Manolo Blahnik. Her collection can be found excusively at Nordstrom.

Hail The Fashion Gods- Glamour is BACK at the OSCARS.

As Tom Ford said on Jimmy Kimmel , "For the Oscars when you are designing what you believe in and what woman need right now and you are a voice in contemporary fashion. When you are dressing and actress or someone who is getting married they have a pre-conceived notion of how they want to look, its a bubble of 1950s Barbie clothes" I could not agree more, their was a flood of glamor and barbie clothes at the Oscars this year.

Make A STATEMENT with Pastel Handbags

As spring comes our way, every year we tend to turn to pastels. In this case pastels have been huge for handbags, which is very uncommon. Usually, it would be in an earring or a touch of it in any type of jewelry. I love the idea of a statement bag in a pastel color. It screams "FINALLY A CHANGE" from the typical black handbags. Not many are out yet, but here are a few you can get online. I also made a recent trip to H&M as well and the stock of pastel bags are endless. Happy shopping lovers.
