OOTD:: Faux Fur and Plaid

Today's outfit is inspired by warming up and looking great yet still having fun! It's been snowing here for about two weeks and the snow has definitely piled up.  As you can see, my booties are almost all covered! Snowy weather can definitely be cold, and while this outfit may look great, make sure you have a peacoat and gloves and the whole shebang for your outings! This is just the base layers (funny, because I'm wearing 3 layers!)
The winter season is definitely meant for layering up.  I decided to mix this plaid green shirt, a casual item, with the faux fur, a more classier, upscale look.  The two mixed perfectly! I must say, I am LOVING this outfit combo these days; pair it with a statement necklace and bang! You have a great chic and inspired outfit!
Check it out along with some fun in the snow!







Stay warm and have fun!
I am leaving for Vegas, (whoooo!) today so this week won't have a Friday's fav.  
Check back next week for Mani Mondays and also what I did in Vegas!

Mani Monday:: Barbie-fied

Glittery Pink

This week, I'm vibing on my flirty, girly, feminine, barbie side--baby pink and gold glitter.  This look is super feminine and sweet, and super simple to recreate!  With Valentine's Day right around the corner, what better way to start of February then channeling your innermost girly side!


Check back this week for a New Year's resolution update and also for an OOTD!

Recap:: Yelp Elite Event

Weekend Recap and What does Yelp Elite mean?


This past weekend was SUCH a blast! It was filled with different events and catching up with old friends.  Sunday, I went to a "Yelp Elite Event" which, for those of you who don't know, Yelp is an app/website that helps you figure out different stores/groceries/restaurants/pubs/gas stations, etc that is around you or in a city that you enter.  It is based off of regular joes like us going on their and reviewing the establishment from everything to things they liked to what they didn't like rating it, and even posting pictures, so that future customers can decide before going there, whether if they want to or not.
So, the "Yelp Elite" status is given to those  "yelpers", people who yelp and review on a  constant basis. As a thank you, your community Yelp sponsor will throw special VIP events where you might be the first ones to try the restaurant, or have a huge bash at a nice location with over 20 sponsors of food, drinks, and much others, just so that they could get their name out through yelp and you get to go home with a goodie bags and a great evening! So get on Yelp and review a lot! This status is DEFINITELY WORTH IT!

So anyways, this past Sunday I was invited to try this new restaurant that opened up in the area called La Tagliatella.  What was awesome is that we got to create our own pizzas-taste and add our own cheeses, sauces, and create it however we wanted.  We started off with some of their delicious mimosas and sangrias.  Then went off into trying their brunch/fruit pizzas, which sounds iffy but was beyond delicious! Perfect sweet combo! Then we were sent off to try making some pizzas! It was a lot of fun, and you meet other yelpers who share the same common interest with you.. being a huge foodie! I can't wait for the next event!
Huge and fruit filled Sangrias on deck!

Mani Monday:: Modern-take French

Black on Black on Matte


I absolutely love using the "Matte Top Coat Finish." I bought one from Sephora a few months back and love love messing around with it.  Black matte just looks the best to me.  It's such a classy and elegant look with a bit of an edge.  All you really do is paint your nails with whatever color you want usually and then take the matte coat and layer on one coat for the finish to take place.  I then  took the regular black nail polish and drew a straight line for the french tip look.  It's pretty cool seeing how it turns from liquid-form to a matte in a matter of seconds!


Check back tomorrow to check out what I did this past weekend!

Mani Monday:: Turquoise Sass

If you remember my post from the Liebster Award from Saturday, I had to answer Courtney's questions.  One of them asked which color would I want to be the Pantone color of 2014 and I chose turquoise.  I think this color is such a FUN color and everyone looks great in it! That being on my mind, I decided to combine my two fave combos to create today's Mani Monday! A little sass and a little pop of color does everyone good!
