I hope that everyone had a great time over the Holidays. My time was spent on vacation and spending time with family and friends.

As the New Year comes, parties, resolutions, and sparkle come along with it. Since the world didn't end, I guess that this year we really do have a lot to celebrate.

Wishing everyone around the world an amazing New Year!

HAIR FOR THE HOLIDAYS

I thought that I would share with you this wonderful hair tutorial that I found on thebeautydepartment.com. I love this hairstyle and will be re-creating it later on in the week. 

I personally love this look and think that it is perfect for any special occasion that you need to attend.

Would you re-create this hairstyle? Tell me in the comments below.

WHAT TO WEAR WHILE TRAVELLING

 scoop neck sweater / cashmere sweater /  skinny pants, / Cropped jeans /  ballerina flat / shoes,  / leather tote /  leather tote / marc jacob, / Bracelets bangle / tube scarve / 

I am off. Today, I am boarding the plane and heading to Florida.

 I never can decide on what I want to wear on the plane. I want to comfortable, but I also want to look good. I don't want to look like I wore my pajamas to the airport. Its also hard to go from one completely different climate to the another one. Where I live, I have to wear a jacket, while in Florida I will be wearing shorts.

To solve my issues, I usually wear light layers that can make the transition from the cool temperatures to the warm temperatures.

I created two different outfits that I would wear on the plane and to the airport. I actually wore an outfit almost identical to the second one. Comfortable sweaters make up for the cool temperatures on the plane, while a scarf can keep you chic and warm. These outfits are not that complex, but they will ensure that you look amazing.

If you have travel plans for the holiday season, stay safe and look chic at the same time.

Have a great week.

Winter White?

          School is out and I am heading out to Florida Saturday. I am so glad that my classes are done and I can relax for a few weeks.  Hopefully I will be able to post much more regularly.

          I have been loving the color white recently. I don't know if it is because I have been thinking about snow or what, but I find winter white fascinating. The color white is not just for summer. In some ways I think that white is more of a winter color than a summer color. However, when it comes to wearing the color white in the winter, it all depends on the fabric. White chiffon or a light cotton would not be the most practical cloth to wear during the cold winter months unless you live in the Bahamas. Since, I do not live someplace that warm, I tend to wear white wool sweaters, etc. Pair your favorite white sweater with a contrasting dark blazer/coat and you are good to go.

          I wanted to wish you all a happy holidays and I hope that you have a fantastic weekend.

              Tell me do you wear winter white and if you do what do you like to pair the color with?

Outfits for Winter Holidays

       Its that time of year again. People are going to tons of holiday parties as well as planning their outfits for Christmas and New Years. 

While it may be December, where I live it has been in the 60's. I can't complain about that, but it is a shame to leave all of those cute winter outfits in the closet. However, I have had my share of events to go to this season. 

I personally take advantage of every chance I can get to dress up. I would much rather wear skirts and dresses than pants. (Depends of the pants.... I love a good patterned pair.) I am a total girly girl and I like to have a chance to wear all of the clothes that I buy throughout the year. Whether its getting dressed for parties or for going to dinner, I don't care. I love to get dressed up.

I put together a series of outfits that I personally would wear.

I Got a Tumblr !!!!
