Sunshine On My Birthday

Posted on March 4, 2018 by thefashionminx

It’s been a while since I posted, and I have a lot to update you guys on! I’ve been busy planning our wedding for this July, which I will begin documenting on this blog! I’ve also been busy working on a few different projects, as well as starting a new health and fitness journey that I can’t wait to share with you all!

First though, here’s a post from my birthday this past Feb 21st! Incredibly, it was over 70 degrees that day…in NYC…in February!! It was a miracle! Chris and I headed to Astoria Park to enjoy the weather and snap a few shots. All details and links to shop are below!

Stay tuned for my next few posts on my new beauty routine for glowing skin, as well as inside info on all the major sales happening as Spring approaches!

XOXO

Cool Summer

Posted on June 28, 2015 by thefashionminx

The colors of the flowering trees this time of year are stunning!

(Pictured above: the incredible authentic Greek food at Taverna Kyclades in Astoria)

I have a love/hate relationship with Summer in NYC. On one hand, I love the blooming flowers, the longer sunny days, and dining outside in the evenings. But, NYC is also well known for it’s suffocating humidity. Thankfully, we have been experiencing a milder Summer so far, and some days have even been cool. On one of these cooler days, I met my best friend Debbie for lunch at Taverna Kyclades in Astoria. This Greek heaven usually has a line down the block, with people waiting for at least an hour on average to get in on busy nights. They don’t take reservations, and they don’t have to. It’s simply the best, most authentic Greek food in Astoria. They are also known for their extremely fresh fish, with the selection changing daily. If you’re in the Astoria, NYC area, definitely stop by!

I like cooler summer days. It gave me an excuse to wear my beige Theory coat. The color is perfect for Spring/Summer, and it’s just the perfect weight. Details on everything below!

Super Fashion with Super Heroes- NYC Comic Con 2013

Posted on October 29, 2013 by thefashionminx

I love this city 😉

Hanging out with Raiden and Kitana from Mortal Kombat!

Notice the 10 thousand people behind me?

Crowd at comic con

I always wanted to meet a transformer…

Getting some love from some friendly storm troopers 😉

Alien!

Alien

Ron Burgundy in the flesh! Sorta….

Meeting David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson was the highlight of the day- and my life!

Baddass costumes

I loved these skulls! Can you guess which one I took home?

A robe for every obsession!

For my fellow Walking Dead fans- how amazing is this doll? (And creepy!)

And I’m glad to see that Sci-Fi dating has finally embraced same sex relationships!

2013 was the year that I attended my very first Comic Con. I had heard about it for years, and knew it was a really cool event, but I never really had reason to attend until this year. Why this year? Well 2013 was the 20th anniversary of The X-Files, a show that changed my life in the 90s, ignited my obsession with Mulder and Scully, and made me “want to believe”. It still remains one of the most brilliant, and groundbreaking shows of Television history. I am still in awe that I got the chance to meet both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in person, and got to thank them for their creativity and entertainment. They were both extremely sweet, friendly, and warm. To be honest, I think the real “X-File” is how they look more amazing now then they did 20 years ago! (The cigarette smoking man may have something to do with this) 😉

Comic Con in general was a ton of fun. It’s sort of like Halloween, except everyone is a super hero, or comic book character. My boyfriend Chris and I had a blast walking around and seeing everything. I hope you enjoy the photos! I wore bright colored sunglasses, and an embellished clutch for the day. It seemed fitting. Maybe next year I’ll go in costume. 😉

Let me know in the comments if you have ever attended a Comic Con!

Snowy Saturday

Posted on January 27, 2013 by thefashionminx

Happy Saturday from frozen NYC!! We got a blanket of snow last night, and it was so pretty, that I had to go into our backyard and take some photos before it melted. It was about 15 degrees today, and the only way to stay warm is to layer! I wore a t shirt layered under a thick knit sweater, both from Zara. I also layered a rabbit fur vest over my parka for extra warmth. ( My parka was last seen in this post, and the fur vest was last seen In this post) How are you keeping warm in this cold weather?? I hope you all have a cozy weekend! Hot chocolate, blankets, and movies are my choices in these temperatures.;-)
XOXOXO

Metallic Sunday

Posted on January 7, 2013 by thefashionminx

Happy Sunday. 😉 I spent my Sunday with my amazing boyfriend in our neighborhood. It was chilly today, but not too cold. Yay! I scored these amazing metallic jeans at Forever 21! (Can you believe it? So affordable!) In fact, my hat, jeans, and sweater are all from Forever 21, and probably only cost a total of $55 for everything! Who said you can’t look good on a budget? My Mackage coat is an ebay find, for 50 percent off. I love their coats, they are so warm and stylish. We ended our day at our favorite Pizza place in Astoria. Yum. Great way to end a Sunday. How was your weekend?
