Happy Halloween everyone! This post is coming a little later and is not what I had originally planned because of things I'll get into in a minute. I wanted to stop by and say Happy Halloween because it is one of my favorite holidays, even if I do sit here with my wet hair in a towel, Evil Queen candles lit, and Ho…

I first want to start out this post with something completely unrelated to the Fashion Files. Over the weekend, I was published on PopSugar . PopSugar is truly my favorite website and really a one-stop shop for whatever you want to read about. It has been my dream for so long to have a byline on there, and this is ext…

Another Friday, another week where I didn't stick to my editorial calendar. I'm currently home in bed, watching Stranger Things and working on some new Pizza Bottle articles . I didn't feel so good yesterday and this morning so I took the day off. My mind has not been my own lately and a lot of personal th…

When I was looking for a new book about a month ago, I stumbled upon The Memory Watcher . I didn't know what it was about but then I read the description and was immediately intrigued. This is the publisher's summary: When Autumn Carpenter stumbles upon the social media account of the family who adopted her in…

I haven't been buying as many nail polishes this fall as seasons past because I haven't really loved any of the fall collections. I also have quite a lot of dark, vampy colors already in my collection. However, the Essie Wild Nudes collection was something that I've been wanting to get my hands on and the…

This was a hard week in so many ways. I was super stressed out and anxious, I had a mental breakdown at work and just felt on the verge of tears every single day. Not to mention my commute to and from work was an issue every.single.day and by tonight, I'm ready to throw in the towel. Have you ever just felt defeat…

When Fenty Beauty was being buzzed about, I don't think I was as excited as everyone else in the beauty world. I didn't really get why it was being talked about the way it was being talked about. I mean, I get that it's Rihanna's makeup line and Rihanna is BOSS but to me, it was just another brand. Th…

Fiona Barton is a great crime novelist and I loved her book " The Widow" . When I saw that she was coming out with a new book, I knew that it was going to be my next listen (on Audible). "The Child" was probably even better than The Widow, but had a similar feeling. You could almost tell it was wr…

I've never really traveled to a lot of places. I'm not a traveler, even though I kind of want to be. I've only been outside of the United States once, and that was for Spring Break to Punta Cana. Otherwise, I've been to Florida on vacation and to a handful of other states for work or a weekend trip. As…

Leopard is BACK and in a big way! I knew it was coming back when the Nordstrom anniversary sale had an incredible amount of leopard pieces to choose from. Now that we're in the full swing of Fall, leopard is everywhere. I've talked about the trend before but with every day that passes, I find something new tha…

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Kate Spade is having their Friends & Family sale and everything (with the exception of a few exclusions) is 30% off. I shopped the sale Friday and got this sweater I've been lusting after but if I were you, I'd take advantage of the last day, which is today. Below are my picks…

Ahh, it is FINALLY feeling like Fall here in New York and I hope that is not short lived. Today was the first real cool day and it was in the 60s all day. It was truly glorious to feel cold for a change, instead of dripping with sweat. I'm currently sitting in bed, waiting for TGIT television to begin. Thursday ha…

It's no secret that I love a good activity/fitness tracker. I've done multiple posts on different ones over the years, and even though I love my Kate Spade one, I felt like I needed a change. The thing about me is that even if I love something to the moon and back, I get rather bored very quickly. That is prob…

I've already discussed what I was planning on wearing this Fall but the hot weather in New York has me longing for even more fall wardrobe goodness. I've been eyeing so many of the trends that were in my previous post and have bought a handful of items but have held off for a few reasons: I've been losing…

I love a good mani/pedi just as much as the next girl but usually, I opt for getting a pedicure at a nail salon instead of a manicure. I just find them more relaxing and whenever I get a manicure, I feel like it's a waste of money. They always chip as soon as I leave the salon and I can't touch it up since I u…

These items were sent to me via PR Body scrubs are something I always want to use, but can never find one that fits the bill. I'm very particular about the consistency, scent, and after feeling of a scrub. There are body scrubs that I like that are actual body washes, like from St. Ives or Softsoap but sometimes I…

I've been meaning to buy this bag for months and finally, a few weeks ago it went on sale. It was around 30-40% off and I was ready to buy it. From the Kate Spade Instagram Then, it dawned on me... maybe I would wait for a sale on sale. I had a 15% off coupon for any Kate Spade item but I still thought that there…

Another week has come to an end and it's a long weekend, thank goodness! I wasn't feeling so hot today so I stayed home from work, giving myself a 4 day weekend which is must needed. It's so important to take a mental health day (even though I feel like I'm physically getting sick) once in a while beca…
