Good Morning readers, I know that usually on Valentine’s day people like to dress all fancy for their dates, but what if your date is casual?  How do you dress up a pair of jeans?  For my casual V-day look, I stayed simple with a graphic tee and distressed denim. Then I dressed up the outfit with a pair of heels, a pale pink Rebecca Taylor jacket and magenta embossed clutch by Gigi New York. For jewelry, I added a pair of the new Kendra Scott Alex earrings in white pearl with a few rings and bangles. Super easy and yet still so chic!

Also, can we talk about how amazing YSL lipstick is? I had never tried until recently and I swear it is a life-changer!! It’s so smooth and soft on my lips and the color lasts for hours. If you’ve been wanting to try a new lipstick, I highly recommend trying YSL!

Make sure to check back tomorrow to see how I how took this Kate Spade graphic tee from casual to dressy-elegant.

P.S. My nail color is called In-The-Cabana!

Hey readers,  this is my second post of the day because I want to keep in the know of all my fashion adventures in NY and that includes getting there too. Let’s just say that packing last night was a five hour nightmare only to find out that my flight had been delayed so I didn’t even need to rush! Oh well, it’s better to be safe than sorry and it was my fault for procrastinating. I always wait until the last minute. Although, I tried to pack earlier in the day but I all got packed was a case of business cards and some lipstick.

Anyway, this is my airport style-  casual , comfortable and effortlessly chic. However, I did bring a pair of Sorel snow boots and leggings to wear once I arrived in NY.  For travel accessories, I chose bright blue luggage so that I could easily find my belongings in baggage claim plus I got them for a great deal at TJ Max.  I packed my Ipad in my pink Gigi clutch and I used my Sia bag from Sole Society as my carry on. For my purse, I used my Kate Spade Beau bag because it’s nice and spacious so it allowed me to pack all of the extra unnecessary things that I convinced myself I needed. Who can guess some of the items in my carry on and purse?
