Happy Thursday! Today I just wanted to post some throwback pictures to one of my first shoots for the blog. I have learned a lot about shooting since the first time. It is also crazy to look at these pictures and see how much Stella has grown. Hope you all are having a great day!
Happy Fitness Tuesday! Today is a very special day for me because it my sweet puppy Stella’s first birthday!! It is crazy to me to think that a year ago on my birthday I put down a deposit for her and now she is already a year old. So today in honor of her birthday I want to talk about fitness with your animal. Now I love to give Stella treats and of course she loves them too, but we also want our pets to be healthy and have tons of energy. I have noticed that for her even after a two hour walk she still is full of energy, but then eventually sleeps. I personally do not go running with Stella everyday, but I have been taking her for casual jogs in Central Park at least once a week since. Thankfully (knock on wood) it hasn’t snowed yet so I am taking full advantage of it. If you are fortunate enough to have a pool anywhere near you and for us New Yorkers an indoor pool take your dog for an occasional swim. All of my family pets have all loved to swim not just because we were in Miami, but because it is great exercise for them. Even though I have seen videos of it and I find it entertaining I have heard that putting a dog on a treadmill isn’t the best idea especially if you turn up the speed on it. Just like Taylor Swift did in the Apple commercial a dog can seriously hurt themselves and fall down. Hope you all have a great Tuesday and again Happy Birthday to my sweet puppy Stella!

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone had a great weekend and is gearing up for Thanksgiving this week! Crazy how the year has truly flown by. One of the biggest trends that I have seen come to fruition the past 3 years, are bodysuits. If you ask my mom she will say she has been wearing bodysuits for years and even got me one while I was in college and I rarely wore it, but now I wear it all the time! There are so many different tops especially during winter that I need to wear a solid tank underneath, but a tank top just doesn’t lay right under some of them and even when you do tuck it into your pants if you are wearing leggings, that isn’t an option, and if you are wearing jeans you still see the shirt and it gives an awkward feeling when you are wearing them. The solution is bodysuits, but for me I prefer the string bodysuits vs the ones that are full coverage. The reason again I say this is because no women wants to have panty lines, but also you don’t want to feel like you are wearing a leotard even more so than you are by wearing a bodysuit. I have also noticed that most of the full coverage bodysuits do not have a snap closure at the bottom so if you are out and need to use the restroom then that is going to be a bit of a project for you. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and stays warm on this chilly day in New York City <3
Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I don’t know about you but I am counting down the days until Thanksgiving. There has always been a stigma when it comes to wearing white during winter. I know you can’t wear white pants after Labor Day (even though I do because it is appropriate to in Miami), but does that go for everything? I say no. This white lace top from Joie is one of my favorite go to tops for the holiday season. I pair it with a white Wolford bodysuit underneath it and it looks amazing. I have seen other people wear it without a tank or anything underneath, but if you are like me and don’t want to show too much skin, especially with it being so cold out, this is the next best solution. I also like it because with a normal tank if you tuck it in you still see the shirt in your jeans and you want a tank that lays flat under the lace top. If you couldn’t already tell from today and yesterday’s post, I am a bit of a bodysuit fanatic. It just makes your outfit look more put together and it allows everything to just lay better. If you are looking for a lace top this holiday season I recently went to Bloomingdales and they have a large selection in all different price ranges. If you aren’t sure if you could pull off an all lace top and don’t like the idea of a bodysuit that is okay! There are tons of other top options that have lace detailing and are still super cute for this holiday season. For me, with these tops, I always go a size up because I like a lace top to lay loose on me vs skin tight, but that is completely up to you. It also depends on what kind of look you are trying to achieve. With this look, I was trying to achieve a relaxed look and something that is comfortable and simple. Hope everyone had a great weekend <3

This weekend marks the start of the infamous music festival: Coachella! Going to school in Arizona a lot of my friends would go because it was an easy drive there, but sadly I was always too late to get a ticket to it. When it comes to music festival attire the thing that is most important is longevity. A few years ago, I went to Gov Ball on Randall’s island and I knew I was going to be out there all day, but I didn’t expect that it was going to be as hot as it was. Remember: whatever you need you will have to carry with you all day at these music festivals and the merchandise they are also selling on site are obviously marked up tremendously. So it is better to be prepared. First off, wear sneakers because the last thing you want is to come home after a day of wearing sandals or open toe shoes to have your feet be covered with dirt. Secondly, bring something to sit on when you are there, whether it be a little towel or a jacket that you don’t care about, because there are no seats anywhere at these events. Thirdly, bring something for the night time whether it be a scarf or jacket because one thing that nobody tells you is when night falls at these music festivals, it gets chilly. Obviously you don’t want to be wearing a long sleeve shirt all day, but you also don’t want to freeze during the night time. A lightweight scarf is the best go to thing to have because it can be folded up in your purse or backpack and not take up as much space as a jacket. Last but not least, you have to keep hydrated! A lot of these music festivals have free water bottle filling stations and you should use these as much as possible. Bring a refillable water bottle with you and even when you aren’t thirsty just keep drinking. The last thing you want is to get heat stroke or be dehydrated. Have a great time Coachella go-ers stay safe and make sure to cover up with some sunscreen!
