Beautiful Honolulu

Posted on September 13, 2019 by thefashionminx

As the weather gets cooler in NYC, I am really missing gorgeous Hawaii so much. We went there this past January for our honeymoon, and it was a dream. I posted a ton of photos to my blog previously, but there are a lot I left out, so I wanted to take a look back and post some shots of this gorgeous place that I missed. We drove to the top of Tantalus Lookout, and it was so worth it, the view was incredible! xo #Mahalo!

The view from the top of Tantalus Lookout was incredible!

If you ever travel to Hawaii, make sure you request a jeep in a poppin color from Advantage Rent-A-Car! I felt like a 90s Pop star! 🙂

Art and Fashion at 5 Pointz

Posted on September 10, 2013 by thefashionminx

Hey guys! I am so excited about this post! I recently had the opportunity to shoot at 5 Pointz in Queens. It’s an awesome space where graffiti artists display their work. How amazing in this incredible street art? I was blown away by the talent displayed at 5 Pointz! Read more about 5 Pointz HERE.

For my shoot I chose a funky, urban inspired Fall look. Yes, it’s finally cool in NYC!! Thank God! Leopard was the theme for the day, and I took advantage of the crisp weather to break out my leopard calf hair boots and bag. The hot pink coat was the finishing touch- I have been WAITING to wear this coat all Summer! Details on what I am wearing, and where to buy them are below. 😉

But, first- here is a video I made showcasing the artists’ work, and what I wore. Enjoy!
XOXO

The Fashion Minx and The Sequin Cinderella in NYC!!!

Posted on December 12, 2012 by thefashionminx

So excited to finally meet Nicola in person!!!

I was lucky enough to meet and work with the fabulous, and well known Irish blogger Nicola from The Sequin Cinderella! This was Nicola’s first trip to NYC, and she loved it! For our shoot, we chose Times Square, the heart of NYC as our location. We chose to wear skirts and dresses mixed with boots which give off a tough/feminine look- which is perfect for this city. We hit Sephora, walked around Times Square, and had fun with some police officers! Of course, we also talked shopping, finding deals in the city, and ways to protect yourself from the harsh NYC winter temps while still showcasing your style! Read on for details on on what we were wearing and our tips for chic winter style! xoxoxo

It was a very cold night, which called for a lot of layering! I am a huge fan of fur vests because you can layer them under, or above a coat or jacket! (That night I did both) I wore my blue feather vest from Topshop. I love the texture of it, and it’s super warm! There are tons of adorable fur vests out there, both real and faux. I also love THIS ONE, THIS ONE, and THIS ONE. Nicola wore a gorgeous lace dress from Zara with studded boots by Chiara Ferragni. I love the look of a feminine lace dress mixed with tough biker style boots. Similar dresses HERE, and HERE. Also, I love these studded boots by ASH. I went with a cobalt blue theme, wearing my blue Celine (similar bag HERE) , blue J Crew top, and my blue bubble necklace. Oh….and my cobalt blue YSL ARTY RING. (They were recently discontinued, so if you are lusting after one, get one now!!)

I was wearing:

Top: J Crew, Skirt: Forever 21, Feather vest: Topshop, (similar HERE and HERE), Necklace: J Crew bubble necklace, Ring: YSL Arty ring (Get one before they sell out!

Pop of red

Posted on August 24, 2012 by thefashionminx

I love my red Celine Nano. It’s the perfect little bag that fits everything. I took it with me today while shopping with my best friend for her wedding. We hit a few stores, including Zara…….( next post will show my finds!) I think that a red bag is essential in every wardrobe because it’s a bright color that adds zest, but it’s also surprisingly neutral. Red bags go with almost everything. Here are some other great choices for small red bags/clutches. This Loeffler Randall one is adorable, and I love this Rebecca Minkoff clutch, and this one as well. I also live in denim chambray shirts….so comfy and easy to pair with everything! I am wearing this awesome one from Forever 21. This one is a good choice, and this one as well. Can’t wait for Fall!!!

Brooklyn Wedding

Posted on August 13, 2012 by thefashionminx

My boyfriend Chris and I went to a beautiful wedding in Brooklyn this past Saturday. It was chic and edgy, with wine, cupcakes and dancing at this awesome bar with outdoor space. I wore an adorable navy dress that I scored for $24.99 from Forever 21 (similar here, or here) , and paired it with my Balenciaga Blue Lavande clutch (similar look here or here) . I love mixing high and low end items. It’s a great way to elevate your look and save money! My bangle is Hermes, (some more cool bangles here) and my ring is YSL. Spike bracelet is CC Skye. It was a beautiful party, and we wish Matt and Sara a lifetime of happiness! xoxo Julie 😉
