I'm always a deep lover of handbags and buy them all year round. It's been that way since I was a teeny tot; I just loved carrying everything with me at all times, and loved having a variety of bags to showcase my belongings. As I've gotten older, my tastes have changed and the addiction is worse than ever…

I did this post last year but it seems like I have some more to discuss! I never want to straight up bash a brand, because I do really like most beauty brands products. It's not often that I find something that totally didn't work for me, so when I do, I feel like I need to tell someone. These have been teste…

This is it. Summer is officially over. I am coming alive as the weather gets cooler and the leaves start to change. Nothing is better than the fall season in my opinion; I walked into Target yesterday and there was already Pumpkin Spice everywhere, and some Halloween candy to boot. I refrained from buying any pumpkin …

I'm currently writing this from a hotel room in Pennsylvania; the glamorous life of social media! It was a fast week and I can't believe September is next week! Fall is so close I could taste the Pumpkin Spice Lattes; we even got a taste of fall weather this week in NYC. It was glorious! I am ready for fall cl…

I've had a blast decorating my room over the past month and it's pretty much complete. I know decorating is never finished, as times and seasons change, your design will change as well. When moving into my new room, I knew I wanted to decorate with coffee table books. I think they're so chic to have in var…

I'm always in search of a better product; to me, I am never satisified with the beauty products I have. Do not get me wrong, I have my favorites and items that blow me away, but I know there are always new things that are being released and I just assume they're better than what I have... which is why I'm …

The heat wave is officially over... I think aka I hope! It's back to regular summer weather, for the time being. Did I mention that I can't wait for fall? It's a mere month away and it cannot come soon enough. Give me riding boots and sweaters and Pumpkin Spice Lattes! In other news, this week was incredib…

It's not very often that I get on here and discuss one stand out beauty product. I usually do a roundup of products, a focus on a specific category of product, or my current favorites. Rarely I do single item posts *unless it's a sponsored post*, but this one needed a spotlight. A few weeks ago I felt like my …

Another wishlist Wednesday is here...and its the beauty edition! I love putting these together because I am constantly looking at what new beauty products are out on the market... it's my job as a social media coordinator & blogger to know what the trends are and what is being released. Credit I never want to …

Since becoming a Chloe & Isabel merchandiser at the beginning of the year, I haven't talked that much about it. Ever since my dad passing away back in March, I've kind of fell off the Chloe & Isabel bandwagon. I was busy with work, and then moving, and it just was the last thing that I was thinking abo…

It's that time of year... back to school season. I loved going back to school -- I never dreaded it, I always couldn't wait. I loved shopping for my uniform, loved going to Staples to pick out new notebooks and pens, and I LOVED picking out a new backpack. I still have that passion for work bags, stationery, a…

This week flew by in my opinion and I'm super happy about it. I felt off this week; it could be the RIDICULOUS HEAT that we've had in New York (I am NOT happy about that!) or that time of the month... TMI? It's a long weekend for me, and we're nearing the end of the summer and I am thrilled. September …

I feel like there are so many books that I was drawn to over the past few months, mostly because of the cover, and because so many bloggers and online articles were telling me to read them. The Assistants were one of them. I was in the middle of moving and didn't want to order a bunch of books that I would eventua…

POPSUGAR sent me this Must Have box to try but all opinions are my own! I love reviewing subscription boxes because even though the market is flooded with them, they're still exciting to receive and see what is stuffed inside. POPSUGAR , like I've mentioned in the past , is one of my favorite subscription boxe…

I love a good beauty trend: highlighting, contouring, and everything in between. I love a good skincare treatment, or anything that will help make my skin better. That's why, when I saw that lip oils were about to become a hot trend late last year, I got really excited. I was skeptical at first because the thoug…

This week went on forever and ever. I don't know why, but I'm so thankful it's Friday (or better yet Thursday night). I can't wait to just rest this weekend; go to the gym, run some errands, and chill out. I need to run to the store to pick up some more frames for my photos and actually start to hang m…

Illerations have been taken to a new level. I am not apologizing for it. For the past 20 years, I've had my own room. There was time when I was around 8 that I shared a room with my sister, but the reason is unknown to me, because we transformed her room into a playroom. It lasted a few months before we switched b…

Once you've tried some beauty products, you've pretty much tried them all. GASP! How, as a beauty blogger, could I possibly say that? Well, if you really think about it, it's kind of true. At some point, all blushes, bronzers, mascaras, eyeliners, etcs start to look and feel the same. Of course there are s…

I really really love alliterations and I always hate just writing "_____ Favorites", so let's call this the Monthly Muse. UGH I love the way that sounds! Mostly I always write about beauty products because those are the items I always see in monthly roundups and they're the thing I use most during th…
