BACK TO SCHOOL MILLIONS OF COLORS GIRLS FASHION SHOW!!

28 Sep

September 19th Diva Moms held a Back-to-School Millions Of Colors Fashion Show at Craft Studio NYC. I took my daughter and I thought Craft Studio NYC was the perfect place to hold a fashion show for kids. It’s an arts and craft store that holds workshops, parties, sells toys and my daughter just knew she hit the jackpot when she walked in. Now she wants to go there all the time. Lol. I saw beautiful clothing from Millions Of Colors for ages 2-14. The children modeling the clothes looked so cute showing off the designs. Some were shy and had to be escorted, some ran through, and some just did what they had to do. I think they all did a fabulous job. Of course my daughter thought she was there to model but at the end of the show everyone was able to walk the runway. She was very happy. The kids were also were able to get glitter tattoos, enjoy delicious treats from Cakes Jagla, and take home headbands. Parents were also able to put orders in for any of the clothing that was being displayed that evening with a bonus 20% off. I just couldn’t leave without purchasing some arts & crafts for my daughter. It was a fun afternoon.
Thank you @divamoms !!
Enjoy the pics!!

I’M ON A MISSION FOR A NEW FALL/WINTER WARDROBE MAKEOVER

31 Jul

I’m in need of a new fall/winter wardrobe makeover and maybe hair makeover as well. I’m loving all the new looks and patterns I see and I can’t wait to get out there and find my colors that I will proudly rock for 2013/2014. I’ve been on Pinterest and its amazing how you can throw something together and it’s looks like you spent a million bucks then you see it was from H&M or Marshalls at killer prices. Even Target has been doing it’s thing with designers collaborating and bringing their pieces to their stores for incredible prices. I am so glad I live near these stores and try to get in there early and find the bargains.

I am looking for simple yet chic pieces with funky patterns and lots of accessories. I love jewelry and scarves so I will be on a mission for new pieces. I used to shy away from bold prints and bright colors but I love it now!! You can coordinate so many pieces, and a blazer or scarf makes a difference. I never used to really shop online for clothes because I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t try on the item but there are so many sales, and I’ve found a few sites that I’ve already ordered from and know what size to purchase. I also love free shipping and handling and YES I look for an extra 10 or 20% off.

I’m ready for the pants suits and dresses with fall colors and prints. I want more riding boots and handbags to match. I’m also in need of a new leather jacket and cute toggle or pea coat. I also would love a cute trench coat.

Uniqlo another great store has beautiful clothes for everyone including children. I always go there for myself and spend more on my kids. I think I come out out with one item for myself. Their prices are very reasonable and they always have a sale.

Joe Fresh is another one of my favorite stores and has an awesome selection of clothing for men and women. It seems like they always have a sale too but even if they didn’t I would shop there regardless.

So, I know where to shop I just have to hurry up and get the clothes before they disappear and step up my wardrobe a notch. I have a lot of conferences to go to this year and I wanna look good!! Fall clothes come out during the early summer months and you have to get it while you can. I walk into a few stores and see coats and back to school clothes on the racks before August.

Before I do any shopping for myself I still have to do back to school shopping for the kids. Time flies!! I can’t wait to show you what my new wardrobe is going to look like. Now I just need some gift cards from my favorite stores and I’m all set.
Just a few pictures from my Pinterest board.

MADPAX 3D BACKPACKS FOR BACK TO SCHOOL 2013

28 Jul

When I attended Momtrend’s back to school event a few weeks ago I was so excited to see new trends and meet some amazing people. There was one person in the room who was just as excited as I was and her name is Tina Huber (one of the creators), a very sweet, down to earth person who absolutely loves her packs and love getting the word out about them.Tina is the Mad scientist for MadPax a great 3D backpack company that your kids are going to want in every color and shape. As a parent I like my kids and myself to have a style of our own that stands out, one of a kind. With these packs your kid will definitely stand out in a trendy way. When I saw these backpacks I couldn’t decide which one I wanted. They are very colorful and the styles are what took me away. There are different varieties ranging from Bubble which is what I picked for my daughter, to Later Gator which has spikes sticking out of the back (very soft), Spiketus Rex which looks like spikes on the back of a T-Rex, and the newest creation Blok which has a bunch of squares which looks like a puzzle or legos.

There are 3 different sizes, (full pack, half, and nibbler).there are also packcessories available like pencil cases which are great to add to your collection. Prices for everything range from $15 to $60 and I say it’s worth every penny and will be a hit with your child. Make sure you tell your child to memorize the website http://www.madpax.com because All their classmates will want to know where they can get one. I’m thinking of getting myself one as well. I also want to try the Mighty Bites with the handle just the right size for my cell phone and Ipod. Very trendy, and funky. My daughter can’t wait for school to start so she can rock her Madpax Bubble backpack and I can’t wait to get pictures!!

Your child will never say “I forgot my backpack” because it’s hard to forget a backpack that stands out from the rest.

You can find these packs in a variety of retail stores or online at http://www.madpax.com

What is your favorite MadPax?
Parents will you rock a MadPax?
Enjoy the pictures below. Tina Huber is featured in a few of the pictures as well.

Jade & Jasper Showroom Fall 2013 Collection @JadeJasper2

17 Jul

When I received an email inviting me to the Jade & Jasper showroom to have a peak at their Fall 2013 collection I was counting down the days with excitement. After meeting with Jade and Jasper at a Getting Gorgeous event in April we spoke about having a Twitter party which took place in June and gave away gorgeous pieces and everyone had a great time including myself.

I knew after receiving 3 pieces I picked out to review that the Jade & Jasper collection was my favorite and was going to be a big hit with women everywhere. Not only do they offer quality pieces of fashion jewelry but it is also affordable and trendy. Jade & Jasper empowers women to express themselves. You can also become a consultant yourself and receive free jewelry. You can learn more about that on their website ( http://www.jadeandjasper.com )

When I walked into the showroom I didn’t want to leave. I would love to have a room full of jewelry. I wanted to take everything home. Breathtaking!! There are so many collections to choose from.

I was immediately taken by the Urban Grunge Collection. Love the metals, leathers, and studs. There is a Golden Stakes bracelet for $49 that I absolutely must have, and the Studded Revolver bangles for $38. The Dark Romance Collection is something I can see myself in as well. The Dark Desire Studs $28 is a step up for me, and the Awaked Love Ring $64 is on my wish list. Also the necklaces were a must have especially when I combined them with a few other pieces. A few of the necklaces had fringe hanging on them which was very chick. Another favorite was knowing that some of the rings stretch because I do not know my ring size and I always sometimes buy the wrong size and want the ring in a certain finger and it doesn’t fit. With these rings it will fit on any finger. Can you say fabulous?!!!!

I’ve always worn 14k gold but after meeting Jade & Jasper and seeing how their jewelry complimented me I encourage women to try different styles. You never know until you try. Don’t stick to the basics. Go all out! Be bold and explore!! Also those pops of color found in the rings will make any outfit stand out.

There are lots of celebrities wearing Jade & Jasper from Dancing with the Stars, True Blood, and Basketball Stars just to name a few even men.

Also check out the website for pieces that are available now from the Spring/Summer collection.
I enjoyed meeting everyone in the showroom and can’t wait for the next Twitter party for the new collection!! I will keep you posted.

Jade & Jasper will always be a part of my jewelry collection.
Enjoy the pictures . Love all the pieces!!

I was not compensated off this post. I did receive a bracelet as a gift. All opinions on my blog are 101% my own.

27 Apr

Let me start by saying I am glad to know two lovely ladies @AudreyMcClelland and @VeraSweeney. They taught me a lot and I’ve met a lot of amazing people thanks to them and their events and Twitter parties which Audrey gave me a nickname :).

KATE YOUNG COLLECTION AT TARGET

16 Apr

The Target at the East River Plaza Mall just off the FDR between 116th and 117th street had quite a few pieces of the Kate Young Collection. There was a tuxedo jacket I really liked and maybe one dress. The yellow dress looked better online. I saw both of the leotards but I didn’t know what I would wear it with so I passed. The jewelry and shoes were nearly gone. I guess this collection wasn’t for me but for those of you who absolutely must have her items get there before they are gone. I took pictures of what’s in stock.

@UnrulyHeir #NYFW

14 Apr

Once again I won 2 tickets to #NYFW to see @UnrulyHeir at the Park in Chelsea so I took my mom along this time and this show was different from the rest. There were marshmallows to roast, and a dj playing the right tunes if you were throwing a ski cabin party in the Poconos. The models stood in a line and you get to walk around and take their pictures while their serious or goofing off. This was L ‘Unruly Après Ski fall collection and there were a lot of plaid, red, even boxers with a ski mask and scarf. I liked what the twin models Marco and Matthew were wearing. I liked all the outfits from the hats down to the Converse sneakers they had on. My mother and I enjoyed ourselves and hope to be invited back next time. I also won an outfit which will go to my son. Here are my pics below. Enjoy!!

MY NEW HANDBAG

11 Apr

On my recent trip to @Marshalls I came across a handbag that just stood out and I knew I had to have it. Regular price $65.00 and I only paid $34.99 a steal. The weather here in NY went up to 82 degrees so that was the day to flaunt my new bag and I’m glad I did because I received compliments, and women staring at it. When I find a bag I like that is different I know I cannot leave it or I would regret it later. This gorgeous bag is by Diophy. Diophy.com I purchased a green color. The inside of the bag has a beautiful print as well and very roomy with plenty of pockets and zippers. It also comes with a strap for your shoulder if you want to use it. Enjoy the pictures.

WHAT I WORE WHEN I BLOGGED AT ONE OF MY FAVORITE COFFEE HANGOUTS

8 Apr

Since I started blogging I’ve been on a mission to find comfortable places (preferably cafe’s) to write and so far I’ve found a few so you know Dunkin Donuts had to be on the list because I need the triple threat – my caffeine, free wifi, and outlets. I also have to be dressed and ready for anything and now that the weather is breaking (finally) I can dress fashionably cool and write comfortably. I will be posting different outfits I love that fits my personal style, and what I feel is age appropriate for me. Some will be casual, dressy, hip, depending on the weather, my mood, and where I’m going. Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions about any of the pieces please ask.

The outfit below is Old Navy denim jacket, Gap white-t shirt, Max Studio skirt, earrings from Macy’s, and Polo sneakers. Tote bag and skirt from Marshall’s. Can’t figure out the name of bag so I took a picture of the tag. Maybe someone knows. 🙂 🙂
