TGIF everyone!
Baby Its COLD Outside!
Happy Hump Day all!
To say it’s cold outside would be an understatement . It’s too cold to walk, talk, breathe…well you get the point. When it’s like this, all I want to do is bundle up and stay home but until I hit the Powerball lottery I have to go to work. So today’s post is about the 3 essentials I need to keep warm during these frigid days.
1. My puffer coat: I used to be in fear of looking like the Abominable Snowman in a puffer coat but after freezing last year, I decided to let that go and get one. After looking high and low for a good coat, I found this London Fog number on Macys website. What drew me to the coat was all the rave reviews it received. Not one person who bought it rated it under four stars. The coat isn’t bulky and is actually pretty light. The down fill has kept me warm and comfortable outside. Even when the wind is blowing I don’t feel the cold air. The coat is also water resistant so no more shoveling snow in a soggy coat. It also comes with a detachable faux fur lined hood.
2. My UGG Boots: I resisted getting a pair of UGG boots because everyone and their mom has a pair. My feet are the first thing that gets cold so I had to find a comfortable boot that keep them warm. Once I found a pair I liked (on sale no less!) I haven’t regretted my decision. I no longer worry about my feet becoming frozen blocks of ice when I walk to work from the train station.
3. My comfy scarf: I never leave my house without my comfy scarf. It may not look like much, but it does keep my face warm.
Well there you have it! What are you winter essentials?
Have a wonderful evening!
P.S. Sorry about no pics of the UGG boots. The pics came out too blurry. Sorry!

The Best of 2012
Happy Monday all!
Initially I wasn’t going to do a “best of” post but I decided to do one anyway. I picked these outfits because they were so fun to wear! The outfits are special to me because they show me embracing my body. No more hiding and following ridiculous fashion “rules”. If I like it and feel comfortable, I’m gonna wear it!
In keeping with New Year traditions, I’ve only made two resolutions that I know I will not break:
1. Exercise & be healthy
2. Travel more (I’m heading to Vegas later this month, Paris in April and Chicago in July)
What are your New Year resolutions?
Have a great day!
Ooops I Did it Again!
Happy Hump Day all!
I had planned this elaborate blog post with pictures of myself and my family celebrating Christmas BUT while I brought my camera , I left my memory card back home! Arggh! Don’t you hate it when stuff like that happens?!! My cousin Jessie was sweet enough to snap a picture of my outfit with my iPhone so I apologize for the grainy picture. While forgetting my memory card was a bummer, I had an excellent time with my family yesterday. We spent the day exchanging gifts, laughing and spending quality time with one another. I am very blessed to have the family that I have.
How was your Christmas?
Have a wonderful day!

What Shall I Wear?
Happy Monday all!
If you are like me, you probably have a few more holiday parties to attend this week. What to wear to these soirees can definitely drop to the bottom of your “To Do” list as you finish up last minute gift shopping and other holiday preparations. So if you still have a holiday party or two left here are a few outfit suggestions.
Have a great day!
