"Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live."  Gianni Versace

Denim with your denim, why the heck not! There's nothing better than a great pair of jeans or two or three.  Well you get the picture. A great pair of  jeans is an absolute staple, in fact it's a MUST have! And who doesn't love a great denim button down? Comfortable, casual, not to mention versatile. You can wear it with dress pants to the office, looks great with white denim jeans in the Spring, as a cover up over your bikini at the beach, and yes you can wear it with your favorite blue jeans too. What's your favorite denim piece in your closet?

This week's Mani Monday is courtesy of my lovely friend Suzan. This mani is super fun. The base is a light beige and the top coat consist of gold flakes which give this mani a fun edge.

Suzan is wearing OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh with Only Gold For Me Top Coat. What's your favorite OPI color combo?

Mary Jane's an ol' time favorite!


Candy buttons bring back so many wonderful memories. Such a treat that I can now share with my family.



Pretzels, truffles, fudge, oh my!
Emily's Sugar Rush is a little bit of heaven located in Forest Hills, Queens. As soon as I walked in I couldn't help but smile. So many wonderful treats from my youth as well some of today's favorites.

This country chic candy store is family owned and operated, the staff is warm & friendly, and the selection will delight your senses! We're not just talking candy, there's also a large selection of  truffles, pretzels, fudge, cake slices, and so much more. Not to mention they offer vegan, kosher, and gluten free options as well. If you're in the neighborhood you must stop by and treat yourself to a little something sweet!

Most weekends I'm catching up, running errands, and planning for the week ahead. I want to look good and feel comfortable but that doesn't mean sweats are my only option.  I know many of us lead very busy lives but I strongly believe that if we put a little extra effort we can make even the most basic jeans & tee look not so basic. Why not grab a pair of comfy booties instead of running shoes? Add a pop of bright color to your lips & cheeks! Messy hair and no time to do it?  No problem, just throw on a cute hat or try a messy bun! These are just a few ideas I wanted to share, I hope I've inspired your weekend wardrobe!
