Warby Parker: Palm Canyon Collection

I have such exciting news! Warby Parker has just announced their limited-edition Palm Canyon Collection. This new collection of frames come in four styles Winston, Duckworth, Preston, and Wheeler. 

The quality and chic styles are what we have grown to know and love about Warby Parker's eyeglasses and sunglasses...and what makes the Palm Canyon Collection extra special is that not one single pair is alike. This is because they have spent a year perfecting their design and construction. Each frame features a hand-mixed acetate inset at the end piece. So when you wear these great looks you'll be extra stylish, yet totally unique.

Also, don't forget that for every pair of glasses that are purchased, Warby Parker distributes a pair to someone in need. 

Be sure to stop by and check out the collection. Which style from the Palm Canyon Collection is your favorite?

What They Should Be Wearing- 2014 Golden Globes

Award season is officially here! I think the Golden Globes are usually my favorite...mixing my favorite TV celebrities with my favorite movie stars. I'm sure I'll watch some of the actual awards show, but what I'm looking forward to most is the red carpet. It's all about the fashion...am I right???

Right now I'm sitting here thinking about what the hottest celebrities in Hollywood are going to be wearing tomorrow evening. This is what I'm hoping they fashion.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Spring 2014 Monique Lhuillier

Zooey Deschanel in Pre-Fall 2014 Oscar de la Renta

Mila Kunis in Pre-Fall 2014 Monique Lhuillier

Zoe Saldana in Pre-Fall 2014 Badgley Mischka

Amy Adams in Spring 2014 Jenny Packham

Jennifer Lawrence in Pre-Fall 2014 Badgley Mischka

Do you agree with any of my picks? What do you hope your favorite stars wear?

Rainy Day Saturday

Today I was planning on a fun photoshoot out in the neighborhood since the Polar Vortex was gone and warmer weather was on the way (hitting 60 today!)...but that warm weather came with a ton of rain. So, I'm just hanging around my apartment. That's okay though. Getting some chores done, getting some blog work done, and hanging out/being lazy. A day like this is just fine with me. So...an indoor shoot was in order. The first one in my new place!

dress- Brooklyn Industries

tights- Joe Fresh

boots- Nature Breeze via ModCloth

necklace- H&M

This weekend is going to be a busy one. Possibly hitting up a bar tonight, a date with my hubby for brunch in the neighborhood, watching the Golden Globes red carpet (and maybe a little bit of the awards), eating homemade pulled pork Asian style tomorrow night, and the new season of Girls starts tomorrow night! WOOHOO! Happy weekend to me! 

What are your weekend plans???

2014- Best in Beauty

Over the past year or so I have been trying to get in to a more regular beauty routine. I always try to be really good with my skin care, hair care, and makeup...but to be quite honest, I get lazy. I buy products, use them for a little bit, and then they just sit on my shelves for months. Terrible...I know.

That is all changing this year. The following products are items that I seriously do not know what I'd do without. Some are items I actually have been using for years, and others are new to my beauty regimen (thanks to amazing Christmas gifts).

(NEW FAVORITE) I am obsessed with Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme! Over the last few years my hands are so insanely dry over the winter. I have tried absolutely everything on them. But the cracks and dryness doesn't stop! I finally have gotten relief with this! Also, the smell is amazing!!! It is my all time favorite smell in the world. Seriously.

(OLD FAVORITE) I have been using Maybelline Full N' Soft for years now. Every once in a while I will try a different type of mascara...but nothing compares. I could spend three times more on mascara, and I still see myself wishing I had purchased some Full N' Soft from the drugstore. What is it that makes this mascara so great? It doesn't clump and doesn't flake. Lashes stay so soft and light...it's like you're not wearing anything on them at all.

(NEW FAVORITE) Say bye-bye to dry and chapped lips this winter. Bliss Fabulips Foaming Lip Cleanser has instantly beautified my pout! The product goes on like a gel, and within seconds it starts to foam up. You leave the orange scented foam on for about 20-30 seconds and you actually feel it working. You then rinse it off and your lips feel good as new! It's my favorite new product. So much so that I have been using it twice a day. I can't get enough of it!

(OLD FAVORITE) Last year I discovered Organix Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist while wandering the aisles at CVS and I have been using it on my dry locks ever since. Not only does it make them silky smooth...but the smell is delicious!

(NEW FAVORITE) I adore all in one makeup kits. Everything you need to achieve a great look in a neat little container...sign me up! This Smokin' Eyes kit from Benefit Cosmetics has everything a girl needs to pull together the perfect smokey eye. Eyeshadows, eyeliner, tweezers, shadow brushes, and eyebrow colored wax...it's PERFECTION in a kit! I have been using this little kit quite a lot...and I honestly don't know what I'd do without it...especially the brow wax.

What are your must have items for 2014???

Stay Warm In The Polar Vortex

I can't get over the weather lately! Last week when we had the snow storm the "real feel temperature" in NYC was negative 18. Now tomorrow they are saying it's going to be in the negative double digits yet again due to the polar vortex. I mean, I live in Brooklyn...not the arctic. But this frigid weather is not what I signed up for. I just do not do well with cold. EVER.

The one thing that sucks about living in NYC is that you have to walk everywhere...even in the freezing cold. How am I going to handle this? LAYERS LAYERS LAYERS. I have to admit, it's often difficult to look cute while you have a hundred layers on. I swear last week I looked like a crazy bag lady. Ugh!

Since then, I have been looking for great ways to stay warm while looking adorable. Here are some of my must haves...

Cable Knit Pompom Hat available at Joe Fresh- $10

Ribbed Over-The-Knee Socks available at Anthropologie- $36

Double-Cloth Tipped Coat available at J.Crew- $398

Corner Coffee Shop Cardigan available at ModCloth- $59.99

The North Face 'Snowtropolis' Boot available at Nordstrom- $219.95

How are you planning on staying warm???

Mexico

Personally, I think Mexico and UK are the most striking covers. I don't know about you, but I am so thrilled that 2014 is here. I new year brings new fashion and trends! Can you believe in just over a month NYFW will be here?

Happy 2014 Everyone!

I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve, had fun celebrating, and are having a relaxing day of recovery today. Unfortunately my NYE was not so glamorous. I was incredibly sick (yes, I know...STILL SICK!), and passed out before midnight thanks to the codeine laced cough syrup my doctor gave me. The fireworks and people screaming woke me up for a few minutes when the clock struck 12...but then I zonked back out. I'm actually feeling a good deal better today (thank goodness) and hoping 2014 is going to be a bit brighter and bring me lots of joy and happiness.

Some current sales I'm obsessing over-
~Save up to 60% on BaubleBar's New Year Blowout Bash!
~Brooklyn Industries is having a huge mega sale with savings up to 50% off.
~Stop by Shabby Apple and get 20% off of everything.
