Happy Friday! I was up late last night watching the Arizona Wildcats beat North Dakota to advance in the March Madness tournament. I recently purchased an amazing pair of jeans from Zara, but not having purchased their jeans before I ordered two sizes. I went into the store today to return the pair that didn’t fit and walked into a big surprise. Right now at Zara is their mid season sale! Now Zara is already a great fast fashion brand because they are in my opinion great quality clothing for the price, but with the sale some of their best items are so inexpensive it’s like they are giving it away. If you can’t get to a Zara store I suggest you head online right now before some of your favorite items are gone. Some of my favorite going out tops this fall / winter were from Zara and for us living in the northeast it clearly still is winter here even though it is March…. Head on over now and check it out! Hope everyone has a great St. Patrick’s day! Hopefully I don’t get pinched for not wearing green 🙂 <3
Steals & Deals – Valentine’s Day Special
Happy Friday! Yesterday in New York City we had a blizzard and I decided to take the day to stay inside and snuggle up on the couch with my sweet puppy Stella. Thankfully today some of the snow has melted, but there are still parts of the city that have too much snow. This being the last Friday before Valentine’s Day which is on Tuesday I thought I would post a Steals & Deals guide to buying the perfect gift for your special someone. For me in the past when it came to Valentine’s Day I always purchased something that I knew my significant other wanted, but didn’t necessarily want to buy for themselves. For any man I think a great work watch is something great to give them this Valentine’s Day. Whenever they look down at the time they will always think of you. At Bloomingdales right now this Tissot watch with the code Jewelry upon checkout you receive an additional % off. It’s a classic black leather watch and I love that it also has a black face to give your man a little something different to wear everyday. Now men I know that Valentine’s Day is the holiday you always feel the need to purchase jewelry for your girl, but there is no need to stress yourself out over it. One of my all time favorite necklaces that I own is a small heart with a little diamond in it from Jennifer Zeuner. It is called the mia baby necklace and it is so simple and easy to wear with everything that you own. I personally wear it almost daily and it’s especially perfect because it is a heart. Hope everyone has a great Friday and are all prepared for Valentine’s Day. <3

Steals & Deals: The Over The Knee Heeled Boot
Happy Friday! For today’s Steals & Deals I want to discuss one of the hottest trends this season…the over the knee boot. We have seen everyone wear them from the Hadid sisters to almost every fashion blogger out there. I was lucky enough to get a pair of the Stuart Weitzman Highland boots in black suede for my birthday, but not everyone wants to spend that much on a pair of shoes. I have found some other options for all of you that give you the same look, but at a fraction of the cost. These boots from Steve Madden almost look identical to mine and are only $129! Even better they also have a pair in two neutral colors for only $99!!!! Snag those babies while you can at that unbeatable price. Nordstrom right now has an amazing selection of over the knee heeled boots under $200. Now just because these shoes are under $200 doesn’t mean you shouldn’t weatherproof them. I have learned that even if you waterproof your shoes the one thing that will destroy them is the salt that everyone puts on the sidewalks to melt the snow. So if you get that on your new boots that are weather proofed just take a towel or napkin and wipe off the salt. If you do that within 12 hours you should be good to go. If you are still in the market for a pair it is not too late to get yourself a pair. Head on over now before they all disappear.

Steals & Deals – Pridebites Pt.2
Happy Friday! For today’s Steals & Deals I wanted to show you something that I have mentioned before, but it’s worth mentioning again. Since getting a dog I can not tell you how hard it has been to find sweaters, beds, blankets and anything you can think of that I truly loved. I have found few things that I have liked from Petco and Petsmart, but there was always something about the items I purchased that just didn’t foot the bill. Pridebites which was actually co created by one of my brothers best friends and was also featured on Sharktank is the place to go. My dog Stella is always decked out in Pridebites gear and she knows that the items are hers. They have everything from dog toys to puffy jackets for your dog this winter. You can also customize everything on their website. I personally have a frisbee dog toy with Stella’s face on it and it is the cutest thing that I have ever purchased not just for her but for myself. If you go to their website now and make a purchase before checking out enter in the code Stellabear for a 20% off discount to your entire purchase. I have suggested this website to over a dozen people now and they all are just as much in love with Pridebites as I am. One person even emailed me saying that her toy poodle who never would wear sweaters in the winter because she hated every single one now refuses to take off her Pridebites sweater when she gets home from her walks. Another happy pup! Don’t forget to use the code Stellabear <3 If you don’t follow already please follow stella on instagram @HowStellaGotHerWoofBack

Steals & Deals – Dangle Earrings
Happy Friday everyone! On a day like today the best way to get through it is fashion. One of the biggest trends that I have seen all over the runways are statement earrings, but especially ones that are either gem stoned or large in size. Personally I am always scared of having a heavy earring in my ear thinking that it will rip my hole. Trust me I have seen it happen to a few people and it is not pretty. I found these gem dangle earrings from Baublebar and I am obsessed with them! They are only $36 and come in 4 different colors. I think these are the perfect earrings to wear to the office when you want to spice up your outfit or when you are going out for a night on the town with your girlfriends. These earrings are super lightweight and like I said before I do not think these earrings will weight your ears down. I love Baublebar for many reasons, but the main reason is they have great affordable jewelry that cover all the latest trends. If you don’t believe me check out their website now to see a variety of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and even rings that are all so cute and affordable. Hope everyone has a great rest of their Friday <3

Special Steals & Deals in honor of MLK Day!
Happy Monday! Hope everyone is having a great day and for most of you who have the day off I hope you are enjoying a long relaxing weekend. There are so many great sales going on today that I wanted to share with all of you. ASOS is currently having a save and spend event on their site where you can save up to $75 on your purchases. If you spend $150 use code DROP30 to receive $30 off. If you spend $200 then use code DROP50 to receive $50 off then if you spend $250 or more use the code DROP75 to receive $75 off your purchase. If you loved these floral booties I have pictured today go on over there and snag yourself a similar pair. At Neiman Marcus there is an additional 20% off the sale merchandise! Now some of the merchandise will say final sale, but when you can save up to 75% on something it is totally worth it! If you are shopping online for Forever21 take an extra 30% off sale items using the code EXTRA30 when you are checking out. Now the big one is Barneys Warehouse which is having an extra 75% off their sales items!!! Now if that isn’t a sale I don’t know what is! There are plenty of sales going on today in store and online, but personally I am going to stick to online because it is easier and more likely to have your size. If you are in the store and they don’t have your size ask the sales associate to check if it’s online or in another store. It’s worth asking because a lot of times they will have it for you and will ship it to you for free. Who doesn’t love a good free shipping? I hope everyone has a great Monday <3

Steals & Deals – Lip Treatment
Happy Friday the 13th everybody! I will admit and say that I didn’t realize today was Friday the 13th until halfway through the day. So I know that all of you have now since seen all the fashion and looks from the Golden Globes, but one of the things that was making all the rounds was an instagram post. Emma Stone posted on instagram before the show a picture of her with a crazy lip mask on. This wasn’t the first time I had seen this lip mask on a celebrity before. I had been searching high and low for this exact mask, but never could find it. The ones that I found were over $50 and I didn’t want to spend that kind of money on a mask that you used once then threw away. Thanks to an article published by E! I have found the exact lip mask that Emma Stone and other celebrities have been using! It is a collagen infused lip mask by KNC beauty and it is only $24.99. Before I ordered it I first consulted with my facialist. I have very sensitive skin and I am prone to chapped lips. I use Kiehl’s products on my lips and it helps, but I still have moments where my lips are so chapped it’s awful. She said that to just make sure that there were no ingredients I was allergic to in the mask otherwise if I was then my lips would stay like that. Such a comedian my facialist. Thankfully I am not allergic to anything that is in the mask. I just ordered mine and I can’t wait for it to arrive. There are similar products that are on Amazon, but I read the reviews and I didn’t fully trust them. I have attached the link for the lip mask in the post. I hope everyone has a great Friday the 13th!!!!!

Steals & Deals – Steve Madden
Happy Friday!! Yesterday I spent the day in New Jersey with my best friend Tess and let me tell you that Milburn Deli lives up to all the hype that everyone was telling me. I am still full from my lunch yesterday. For the past few years I have eyed the Stella McCartney faux leather oxford platforms in every store I have been to. They are so cute and classy because they look like a classic oxford shoe, but they have the height like those shoes the Spice Girls used to wear back in the day. We all know we wanted a pair of those for our own. I have looked on every discount site for these shoes in any color way and the lowest that I have seen them even during the holiday time was $600 and I couldn’t bring myself to buy them because I know that I won’t wear them every single day. Luckily I found another option! This year on Thanksgiving I did a little retail therapy on Jildor.com and I thought because I didn’t shop cyber Monday that I wasn’t going to get any rewards, but I was wrong. Just from shopping during Thanksgiving in general on their site I received $50 in credits! I had to use them by this week and I scoured the site for a pair of shoes and stumbled upon these amazing Steve Madden pair. They almost look identical to the Stella McCartney’s the only difference is the toe area is rounded and the heel part is a cork heel vs a wooden heel in the Stella’s. These amazing shoes are only $99 and with my $50 coupon I only spent $49 before taxes. They are so comfortable and I am so glad I found a pair that gives me the same look at the Stella McCartney pair that I have been eyeing, but at a fraction of the cost. Check out their website now for amazing other shoes that are heavily discounted right now! They are honestly one of my favorite sites to shop on for great shoe deals and their customer service is amazing! I hope everyone enjoyed today’s Steals & Deals. For all of you in New York City stay warm with all this snow. <3

Steals & Deals – New Year’s Eve Outfit
Happy final Friday of 2016!!! I got up today really early to go to the final day of Carnegie Deli in New York City. Only waited a little over an hour to get seated, but it was well worth the wait. After leaving Carnegie my brother and I walked off our meal and if you haven’t found your New Year’s Eve outfit do not worry. We passed by Zara, H & M, Club Monaco and even Bloomingdales and there are so many good sales going on. A lot of the items may be items that customers returned from the holidays, but their loss is your gain! I personally bought on cyber Monday my outfit from Bloomingdales and when I went in their store they had similar options for a fraction of the price. One of the major trends that everyone wears for New Year’s Eve is anything metallic or sequins. However, this year a major trend that we saw this season is now something that I know I will see everyone wear New Years including myself…VELVET! I personally always buy something for New Year’s Eve that I know I could wear again for a different occasion. If you are going to buy sequins or any metallic stick to the metallics colors of silver, gold, chrome or even rose gold. These are colors you can wear to a cocktail or black tie wedding or even just a fancy party. You never know! If you are shopping velvet I personally got a velvet outfit for New Years that is a burgundy color and I am obsessed with it!!! If you are buying velvet I say the only color I would avoid are lighter velvet colors. The lighter velvet color outfits tend to show lint and dirt faster. I hope everyone is all ready for New Year’s Eve tomorrow I know that Stella and I are. Happy Friday!!!
Steals & Deals – Faux Suede Bodysuit
Happy Friday!!! Today is the last Friday before Christmas and Channukah and I hope everyone has found their perfect gifts for the special people in their lives. If you are still looking for a great outfit to wear for the upcoming holiday parties and for New Years Eve look no further than this Steals & Deals. As you all already can guess from previous posts I love bodysuits. They are so easy to wear and just make an outfit simple and easy. I found this amazing faux suede bodysuit from Charlotte Russe and it is only $15!!! They used to have it in this light purple grey color like the one I am wearing, but now they only have it in a burgundy color. I am very tempted to buy it in this color as well because it just fits so well! The burgundy is also a great color for holiday time because it isn’t a true red, but still festive. This bodysuit is great to pair with a pair of mid rise or high waisted jeans with or without a belt or you can even pair it with a skirt. I hate having to tuck in a shirt when I wear pants, shorts or a skirt because it always seems to bunch up around my waist and just not lay correctly. This bodysuit fits like a glove! If you are concerned about how low cut it is and not revealing too much my suggestion is to use fashion tape. When I wore this out the first time I used fashion tape. Since the straps aren’t adjustable and I did not have time to go and get it altered I used fashion tape by the chest area and it worked perfectly! The top did not move out of place the entire evening that I wore it. Most pharmacy in the beauty section carry fashion tape, but if you can’t find it they also have it on Amazon Prime. Pair it with a simple necklace like the one I have on and you are all set. Hope everyone who is traveling this holiday weekend travels safe and gets everything that they want and more. <3
