MY thoughts

When creative minds collide!  Had the pleasure of working with William Toddman and his soon to be wifey Mariana Weber on this awesome shoe photoshoot series! Pink shoes by Manolo Blahnik, black and gold by Chanel! More to come!  To follow them on insta here are their handles! @thetodman @monsoonmar 

As the end of 2014 rolled around I thought to myself what can I share with my friends and fashion enthusiasts that will be of outmost interest and benefit? And there it was the word SAVE came into perspective! A word that is #1 in my vocabulary! Call me a Jew because I am one ;) I love to save! Often times some ppl think that I'm wealthy (not true, I work very hard) because I wear a lot of designer clothes and shoes etc but what you don't know is my BARGAIN SECRETS! I will be sharing all sorts of savings secrets of my own such as how to find the best deals, when are the best sales, which stores are the best resale stores in your area, how to shop on ebay, and how to find the best sample sales in your city!  :) for starters lets start with undergarments! Lots of you probsbly shop at Victoria Secret and spend say $11 per undie and or do the 5 for $30 deal. Bras are usually over $50 as well! I had a top I needed a nude bra for. I soon realized that I didn't have one as the one...

So in your 30's all your friends start to get married! And so you have to grasp it and find the most fabulous dresses/outfits to wear! One of my best friends Jane got married this past weekend which I must add was a beautiful wedding and experience! Instead of going out to shop to buy dresses I stepped right into my closet! Below you will see photos of all my outfits including accessories and shoes :) enjoy! And remember sometimes it's easier to shop in your own closet than a strangers store! :)  Christian Louboutin Shoes and diamonds :) with Foley & Corina Silk Dress  I wore this to day 2 of the wedding which was a simple nice brunch.  Rehersal dinner I wore a Giambattista Valli runway black dress with Chanel earrings, Emilio Pucci Shoes and a red vintage clutch and a Alexander Wang coat.  And at the wedding of course we had these beautiful sage color bridesmaids dresses that I wore with diamonds and green stones, Bottega Veneta shoes to match and a Saks fifth a...

When it comes to weddings we all know some people tend to freak out and start booking all sorts of appointments for hair, make up, alterations etc. But, if we all take a nice long breathe and  realize that we are just as capable doing it ourselves life becomes much simpler :) You then have a choice of getting all the beauty done or doing it yourself. First step would be to do some research and figure out the style and look you are going for which should always work with your dress, shoes and jewelry as in the end you want to look like the complete package. The colors of your eye shadows should normally match with the color of your dress same goes for lipstick. Your nail polish should also play a role in your outfit. For this particular one I went with red to match my lips. Now preparing for the big day would also consist of maybe doing some facial cleansing and exfoliating to close your pores so that make up goes on smoothly. I like to use the Clarisonic brush w a scrub to exfoliat...

It's very important to take care of yourself and remember to always make ME time. No matter what happens its all about how you feel in the end of the day and if you forget to take care of yourself no one else will. Taking care of yourself can include anything from doing your nails and hair for the ladies, playing ball and shaving for the gents, to just keeping clean, dressing appropriately, reading, listening to things you like, eating right, exercising, etc. No one else will do these things for you but YOU, something to keep in mind! What you do for yourself reflects on your mood, and the way others perceive you, which isn't really that important always its really how you feel inside out that really matters. Don't forget to make time for yourself and what you want in life. Whether in a relationship or single you can't forget about yourself. I know it gets tough when one is in a relationship its hard to remember about yourself and find time for  what I like to refer to...

I'm not sure where this is going to go but I just know that I want to write. A million things go thru my mind daily. Some positive, some negative, thoughts about my new year, the goals I want to achieve, the target I want to have, my love life, my family problems, my friends, my future, my problems that I want to solve. Sometimes I'm motivated and want to do the best for myself and at times just by seeing one small thing or hearing something that can disappoint me and I lose my focus. Same way one tiny incident or a few caring words from someone even a stranger can pick me back up and throw me back on the train of motivation. It all depends on your surrounding and the people you choose to have with you on the path to a brighter future. It's difficult cutting certain people out of your life but at times its the only choice you have to have a better life. Starting the new year thats one of my resolutions to keep only the positive people around and get rid of all those who a...

Yesterday was a long interesting day with lots of lessons. Remember that everyday that you live you always learn at least something. My day started off pretty sad I must say it was raining and I wasn't really in the greatest mood but I went with my friends for a little sample sale shopping when I got home my spirits were still down, I set myself to think positive and move forward with the day. I went to have lunch with my mom to tell her something I was keeping from her for over 3 months. I broke up with my boyfriend over a week ago and she had no clue that were even ever back together in the first place and I had a big health scare several weeks ago and I was in and out of the clinic and my mother was very stressed out and she had no clue who was the cause of all this. I finally opened up to her and told her the truth . It was by far the hardest thing to do, but I had to, I've never lied to my mom before. She wasn't happy with the news because she knows that my ex was te...

Just got home from a 16 hr work day at 3 different jobs. Two of them aren't that important just bill payers. But the third one is quite a new thing that I decided to take on. Since I'm into fashion I'm taking a shot at Styling, personal and photo shoots. So I've been assistant a Stylist for several shoots now. It's pretty interesting and fun and I'd love to do it as my professional and eventually make a good living. Art is what lives in me. I love ART all sorts of art and without it I don't know what the meaning of life would be. Anyhow I met the talent for the shoot today, cute guy from a big movie, great body but he was so concerned about being on a diet and even possibly using diet pills to get his body into better shape and get rid of the fat as he said. He was ripped, great figure no fat at all. It just makes you think what this hell hole HOLLYWOOD does to people. They insert this image into people that they have to be immortal and perfect like a doll....

Do you ever wonder.. what if you lived in another state or even another country, what if you were a doctor, a celebrity, a singer, a lawyer etc. It all a fantasy we all have. I always fantasize and try to imagine my life so different. I always wonder how it would be if I just left  everything behind and moved to New York or even Paris how would my life be, and what would I be and what career path would I choose in that predicament? It all imagination and how far you can take it to actually make it a reality. It's an interesting concept. However, normally if you actually follow your fantasy and try to outlive it, you learn thats its quite different from what you've imagined, but its still an amazing experience. To dream and dream big is a great thing to do and it only helps in general to turn your positive thoughts into actions. (I'm not talking about the what if's from your PAST.... only towards the future, theres a huge difference). So whether its a big or small wh...
