Neon brights

I am just LOVING this weather! 70 degrees again in March! I had an amazing day today hanging at my good friend’s (and fellow awesome blogger’s) house, helping her purge her wardrobe, and get rid of things she does NOT need. God, I need to do the same thing! LOL

I threw on this new top I got from Zara, which was slightly sheer, and gave me the ideal chance to show off my neon pink bra from Victoria’s Secret. This is another great way to wear neon that isn’t too much “in your face”.  It’s a hint of color, and a great way to brighten up a plain top. I had to also take out my cobalt blue Celine luggage tote again. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I will definitely be wearing this a lot more. LOVE the cobalt blue mixed with other neons as well. How are you wearing neon this season so far?  More photos after the break. 😉

Cobalt blue and denim

Do you know it was 71 degrees in NYC today?  Do you realize that it’s March?!? Yes March! I don’t ever remember the weather being this warm in March in NYC, and I am a native New Yorker! Spring was in the air today, and it was gorgeous! I took advantage of this amazing weather to break out my sandals, light chambray shirt, and my cobalt blue Celine luggage tote for the first time. Sigh…..the color is spectacular isn’t it?? As you get to know me, and continue reading my posts, (I hope!), you will see that I always mix high end items, with totally low end affordable ones. I think it’s important to have “investment pieces” that you will have for years, and that you can mix with low priced, affordable items to elevate your look. This Celine luggage tote is just that for me. I think it’s an incredible bag. It fits a ton of stuff, even file folders, and it never looses it shape or gets too heavy.  The design is chic and timeless.  I believe this is the next great classic bag to own. I also have it in black. You can see my posts with it here and  here.

I hope you all enjoyed the weather today, whether you are in NYC or around the world! xo- Julie

Hope your New Year is BRIGHT!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  My first post of the New Year! I am so excited!  Thanks to everyone who has been following my infant blog so far! I promise there will be more exciting posts, givaways, and tons to look forward to in 2012!! 😉

For New Years Eve day yesterday, I decided I wanted my outfit to reflect my spirit and outlook for 2012….which is BRIGHT.  I decided to wear this gorgeous Old Navy wool coat that I purchased last year, and never had the chance to wear!   I absolutely LOVE this shade of pink.  It’s such a great pop of color in the cold, dreary winters of NYC! Even wearing it made me happy!  And, for a bonus, it was super affordable, as are all Old Navy coats, at just $99.99.  Chic, elegant, and fun for under $100 bucks!

My best friend Debbie snapped these photos for me in her neighborhood of Forest Hills, New York.  (It’s in Queens for you out of towners LOL) We were out shopping, and buying food for her New Years Party that night.  I hope you all had a fabulous, fun, amazing, and special New Years! All the best for 2012! xoxoxo

“Get the look for less” in action! Leather jacket with fur panel


As you all remember, I did a post a few days ago about how you can get the look for less. You can read that post here.  Well, I finally had the chance to sport my new Adrienne Landau fur vest, (that I scored for a crazy price on ebay, if you remember!), with my Mike and Chris Leather jacket! Thank God the weather was nice enough today for me to wear it! I paired it with a dress, tights, Acne boots, and my Celine tote, and I was good to go for a day in the city!  What do you think of the look? (By the way, if you haven’t yet, invest in fleece lined tights for winter! They are super warm, and they are still thin and slimming. I love THESE Plush ones you can buy on SHOPBOP.)
