Good Morning readers, tomorrow is the big day at Emma’s Shoes in Metairie. I can’t wait to see all of you at my Halloween event featuring a handbag trunk show with MZ Wallace! In case you haven’t noticed, the Marlena Backpack is my favorite bag from MZ Wallace Fall collection right now. I feel so cool and sporty-chic when I’m rocking a backpack instead of a structured tote. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of my handbags, but when I want to go for an edgier feel I like to wear my Marlena especially when traveling. I defintely think that backpacks add that instant cool factor to your look. They make you look fun and adventurous like you might need your hands free at any given moment to do something spontaneous. However, if there is anyone who needs free hands more than adventurous people, it’s moms! I watch my “fairy” God child from time to time and I don’t know how moms carry anything for themselves at all! You’ve got the carseat, the stroller, the diaper bag, the pacifier that she keeps throwing on the ground and oh yea, the baby! What mom has extra hands for a handbag? Moms, adventurous travelers and girls who just want to add the cool factor to your look, make sure to come check out the Marlena for yourself at Emma’s Shoes in Metairie tomorrow. I’ll be there from 2-4, but they’ll have the bags on display all day! They’ll even have MZ Wallace’s newest backpack available from their holiday collection called the metro backpack.  On top of that, you will receive a delicous dessert Jar by Dani with purchase. Trust me, you do not want to miss out on these mouthwatering treats!

P.S. If the Chrissie bag in this post is too large for your everyday needs, but you love the style… you’re in luck because they make a smaller version called the Andie!

Good Morning readers and Happy Friday!  I’m so excited to announce that I will be hosting a fun Halloween event with MZ Wallace Handbags at Emma’s Shoes in Metairie, LA next Thursday, October 30th from 2-4 pm! Can’t wait to see you all there!

The Large Metro Tote: The large metro tote feels weightless no matter how much you cram inside and it comes with 3 pouches and a few interior pockets inside for easy organization! It’s the perfect carry-on bag when traveling because it’s durable, weather proof and it doesn’t weigh your shoulder down. On top of that, there is always extra room to fit a few more things inside if your suitcase is over the weight limit and if you’re anything like me, you’re gonna need that extra space to avoid paying the extra fee! I have over-packing issues!

The Marlena Backpack: So I’ve been obsessing over backpacks for a while now, but after using the Marlena I’m now on a whole new level of backpack obsession! I just love its chic and sporty vibe plus all of the pockets and compartments make it convenient for traveling as well as everyday use!

The Chrissie Tote: I originally chose the Chrissie tote because I knew it would fit my laptop which I practically bring with me everywhere, but it turned out to be far more than just a laptop bag! With all the extra room I can fit my work out clothes because I work out all the time, right? Just kidding, but who knows! Now that I can fit my workout clothes I just might start working out more!! Anyway, like most MZ Wallace bags it comes well equipped with plenty of pockets and compartments, but what I really love about the Chrissie is the extra long satchel strap for carrying on your shoulder as well as it’s sleek and sophisticated style. If the Chrissie is too large for your everyday needs, but you love the style… you’re in luck because they make a smaller version called the Andie!

Jars by Dani: You will receive a delicious Jar by Dani with your MZ Wallace purchase! All the more reason to indulge yourself in a little shopping and some Halloween treats! Right?

Good Morning readers, today I’m kicking the Monday Blues in the gut with one of my looks from New York Fashion Week. I shot this dress on Day 4 of New York Fashion Week and have been wanting to put it back on ever since!  There is so much I could point out about this dress from the “Kendall Jenner” slits and open sides to the electric blue color and flattering empire waist. However, I’m going to let you do the talking. What are your thoughts on this blue AQ/AQ dress and how would you have styled it? I decked mine out with Loren Hope jewels and a simple pair of black pumps, but I want to know what you would have paired it with!  The reason why I want to hear what you have to say is because this blue statement gown is so memorable that I think it needs to be styled in completely different way in order for me to wear it again. I can’t wait to hear your ideas!

On another note, if you’re loving the Loren Hope jewels featured in this post, you’re going to die when you see her latest fall/winter collection, which you’ll soon see styled on Haute Off The Rack. Until then, you can view the collection here–> Loren Hope Fall/Winter 2014 Look Book

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re having a great week so far. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through it. I’ve still been getting settled into my new house and going through all of my clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty products trying to decide on what to keep and what to toss. With a new season right around the corner, it’s time start thinking new wardrobe pieces and new beauty essentials. I don’t know about you, but when the season changes so do my beauty essentials. I mean it makes sense though, wouldn’t you agree? Your skin changes with the weather so why shouldn’t your makeup? That’s why I was so excited when StyleList asked me to be apart of their Best of P&G Beauty Review. I tried out all of these products and found that I liked the lashblast 24HF, the Clean Whipped Cream Foundation and the CoverGirl Clean Glow Blusher best. The 24 hour mascara is great for these upcoming hot months because it won’t smudge under your eyes as much as you sweat throughout the day and the the whipped cream foundation is so light and fluffy on your face that you can barely even feel it, which is really important to me. I hate wearing thick makeup when it’s hot outside because I feel like it’s clogging up my pores so I like to use lighter coverage.   As the for CoverGirl CLean Glow Blusher, it does exactly that! It gives you a clean and shimmery glow which complements a nice summer tan perfectly!
