They say good things come in small packages. I deteste. Perhaps the best ones will be coming in brown packages this year. I never liked the cliche holiday wrappers everyone uses. The ones that yell Happy-Jingle-Bells Merry-Christmas-and-a-very-crazy-new-year or something similar to that. Simple is clean and clean is elegant. Plus cheaper * insert moms clap as they read this *.
Read MoreHow to LA in a day
<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/12342875/?claim=fva6xk5qpdy”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> Last time I stepped foot into the city of Angels was when poor old me was 12 years old. Lost, cold in its 75 degree weather and wearing her grandma’s sweater. I was fresh off the boat. With age comes wisdom because I realized the way to LA was not to walk or bus it. Public transportation was literally non existent. New Yorkers nightmare indeed. I made sure we were prepared with a rental and tons of patience. Though patience in a New Yorker is nothing more than waiting for 5 minutes. Oy vey the traffic drove me insane but it was lifestyle that nobody dared to fight against – except maybe my boyfriend – and me in the backseat yelling. So yes. I would call it an unsuccessful success story. Along with a few pounds on the scare because eating tons and eating well is a lifestyle in the West as well. Shirt from Gypsy Warrior , Pants from Pacsun 9:30 Running through Korea town and making our way to my first meeting. But what would a visit to LA be without stops at Carl’s Jr. Yes, I eat tons of fast food. But Carl’s is the way to my heart – and arteries to say the least. Stopped into 1015 Store’s penthouse office and studio. Talks of styling and mini shooting their brand spanking new collection soon to hit you guys – hard! I fell in love with the city’s view – and the warm hearted people. New Yorkers need to warm up a bit – y’all mad rude.
Read MoreWhen life gives you lemons, teatox.
For those of you who have been following me for a while now, you all know how big of a lemon freak I am. I LOVE LEMONS – both the fruit and challenges in life. Known to detoxify and strengthen you, known to be cleansers and refreshers, I honestly can tell you that you can’t ever have too much of them. But that deep conversation’s going to be saved for a later post. Today we focus on the fruit. Lesson 1: Lemons are your best friends. I had a pleasure working with Fruit Teatox these past 14 days. Their herbal tea formula designed to cleanse and allow your body to process and remove wastes from the bad things you’ve been intaking while allowing you to enjoy its natural flavor. This means more energy, increased clearance of toxins, increased metabolism of important hormone messengers and neurotransmitters that help keep us mentally, emotionally and physically healthy. Their partnership with this vendor means that they are able to naturally source white vein kratom: a stimulating strain of kratom that provides the uplifting wakefulness of coffee, without the crash of caffeine.

Weekends are for no alarms, pajamas ’til noon and downtown strolls in the afternoon. Or in this case, waking up to The Greys. Spend a weekend with Eugenie and I as we stroll around town, make breakfast and unwind, sleeping in.
Read MoreCutting Edge for a Cause: Mark Bustos
I want to do something nice for you today. Have a drink with Dewar’s and allow me to turn the direction of my blog to a breath of fresh air called inspiration. Fashion can only do so much until it can’t. Mark, a humble and soft spoken man found a way to extend it and touch hearts all around. A resident stylist at Three Square Studio in West Chelsea, this guy who cuts for designer Phillip Lim , also cuts for the unfortunate. Soak that in for a second. I hope you did because quite honestly, you should. I had the pleasure of having dinner with his girlfriend Lala and himself over burgers and onion rings , talking about my hair. It was quite easy to note how passionate they both are in their crafts. If it’s one thing that’ll never go out of style as my mother always said, it’s your character. Find your passion, own it, be it and then share it. Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do, allowing it to make a difference. Nice goes a long way. In Collaboration with Dewar’s Live True Profiles
