iPrep; now PREPare yourself

You lucky folks get two posts today!!! :), as I am trying to catch up with all my latest outfits worn. 

Now in this look we have a whole lot of fun, chic, and style going on. I bought these soccer pants sometime back, but never found any use for them. As I was cleaning my closet one day (draggg) I noticed my neon babies lingering around and I wondered how the two would look if paired together. Voila! I think it looks rather fabulous! The Prep tee shirt was purchased from some friends that have recently launched a new line of clothes. I immediately fell in love with the shield, and decided to add a little touch of edward scissorhands, and crop off the bottom part! Congratulations to the PREP ERA team, as their work is great and will only continue to evolve. For more info and products, please visit their site and follow them on IG.

P.S. I used hair ties to tighten the bottoms of the pants.

Finally after about a month (pardon me), I will be sharing a few pics from my recent trip overseas.

1) First stop!: The Eiffel Tower, one of the most famous landmarks in the world. It was absolutely stunning when lit during the late evening hours.

2) Peek-a-boo: Taking a tour of the city during the early morning hours on our way to see historical landmarks.

3) This photo makes me chuckle. I feel as though the background looks like a back drop, but it's totally not! How awesome does that look? the tower was behind us all morning ( well at least i thought so, LOL)

4) This photo was taken from the the top of the Eiffel Tower, the view was absolutely breath taking! Literally, because many had a fear of heights.

5) Tired of the wheels: this next image was taken during a mini cruise ride along the Seine River. Not only did I feel like a tourist because of the knowledge fed throughout, but I totally looked like one! As i sported a NY Yankees adjustable cap!

6) Palace of Versailles: one word: GORGEOUS! I took one too many pictures of inside the palace to upload on here. But here we get a view of part of the Garden of Versailles.

7) D.D.D: Totally not planned! As our mornings were quite rushed, I assumed we all thought these were some simple pieces to wear together. Doesn't it look like we are doing a denim advertisement? LOL

8) Buildings throughout the city

9) Sigh. Last night in Paris at "Le Mix" nightclub. Beautiful memories

Enjoy!

make that an order for me too! : varsity blues

There's just something about these jackets that absolutely excites me. The moment I saw them featured in a magazine, I knew I too had to be a proud owner of the Varsity Blues; and so I did. I finally decided to take advantage and wear it on a casual night out with friends. 21 bucks was a steal for this bad boy folks!

a little bit of this, a little bit of that

Wooo! Totally have been off the blog-dar for awhile, as I was busy settling in from my most recent trip (pics will be up shortly)..However!! as I was getting ready a few weeks ago to pack for my totally exciting journey abroad (raising the roof), I aimed to pack as comfortable and as lightly as possible.  Below are a few items that made it to the top of the Europe Journey A-List!..

Good day!!

 Connect the dots

Detachable shearling collar

 I have been literally itching to try the new captoe trend, as I feel they are edgy with the right splash of classy and sass.. but unfortunately I was having difficulty findng them in my itty bitty size :(.. and then, it was as if my prayers had been answered ::drum roll::; the rare to find size 5 shoe appeared in the VS Collection, and of couse I jumped on these bad boys right away!

All that jingles...

...is fab!

So as you read in my previous post, my Saturday was a long one; and it didn't end until late late that evening. After all the running around and craziness, I had to quickly put something together, as it was my younger sibling's birthday celebration. Now this pencil skirt was a steal! I had purchased it sometime back for six bucks!! I popped it on, jazzed up a Van Halen sweatshirt by cutting the bottom and turning it into a crop top, and added my FAVORITE rhinestone earrings! Love the stones! Outfit details are below:

Saturday morning through noon was a complete rush, as I spent the day running around stocking up on last minute items for my upcoming trip! Since the weather was beautiful throughout the day, I decided to throw this poncho on that I received as a lovely Christmas gift from the manfriend. He has pretty good taste huh? Below are the outfit details..

A Few Little Things....

A few little things……

……….I cannot live without!

 

Talk about obsessive huh? These items are essential to my wardrobe; definitely at the top of my fave list. Aviator sunnies were actually one of the first shades I ever wore, and it was love at first “sight”; never “looked” back. The red beanie is my “when in doubt” go-to or pair with everything just because, kind of thing. Spiked bracelets by ALDO, simply a must have; can be paired with any watch and/or any other arm candy.  MAC’s Crème D’ Nude speaks for itself, who doesn’t like a nude lip? Turkish Delight by NARS is the loveliest semi-nude pink gloss I’ve come across thus far; perfect for day and night. I don’t about you ladies, but I find my eyelashes to be the most important feature on my face. I feel like that’s what gives extra definition. I literally spend 10 minutes on my lashes everyday using Maybelline’s Mega Plush Lashes. One word: perfection.  Oh my “ Lola!” This fragrance adds a soft touch to any look. Best part, it lasts all day!! But by far what I find most important on here is, :::drum roll pleaseeeee:: double stick tape!! I carry it in my purse at all times. You never know when you or a friend can have a slight wardrobe malfunction, and the tape will serve as your hero! Shirt hangs too low? A possible tear? Off the shoulder blouse can’t remain steady?  Well, let’s “correct” the issue.

 

What are your slight, go-to obsessions?
