Happy Monday! This last week I have felt under the weather, but I am so glad to finally start to feel back to my normal self. This past year for my birthday I knew exactly what I wanted and that was the fashion it girl approved Gucci buckle belt. The first time I saw it in the stores it was the larger buckle size and to be perfectly honest I thought it was too big for me. I did not realize that it came in a smaller size until I saw it online on the Gucci website. I was able to track one down in Miami and after adding two holes to it the belt fit perfectly! When purchasing belts I used to in the past by just simple faux leather ones from H&M or from the Gap, but I think now that I am older that I should invest in more high quality belts. My Mom used to purchase my brother and my belts from Gap as kids because for our school uniforms it was required to wear a belt. I personally think she just did that not knowing how much we were going to grow from year to year. If you are going to purchase a belt like this Gucci one I suggest solid colors like black or brown. Its always difficult when it comes to the neutral colors because sometimes a belt may seem to dark of a brown or even too light of a tan that you can’t match it with anything. This is the main reason why I haven’t purchased a brown belt myself. I haven’t found one that matches with everything that I own. I honestly don’t wear a ton of gold, but when it came to this belt I realize that even though I may be wearing majority of silver jewelry the belt worked with my outfit such as the one I am wearing above. Sadly they don’t have my belt online anymore in the small buckle size, but they have a multitude of options to choose from. Hope everyone has a great Monday! For us New Yorkers try and stay dry with all of this rain. <3
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
