What I Wore: The Ballet

I know I said I wouldn’t be back until the new year, but this outfit got a lot of love on my Instagram, so I figured it would make for a good end of year post. Plus, you all know I can’t stay away too long from the blog. It’s a weakness. I hope you all had a fantastic past couple of days with those you love the most!

My Christmas present this year was very simple(ish). I just wanted to be taken out on a romantic date to dinner and a ballet. Namely, The Nutcracker. I hadn’t been since I was a kid, and I’m a sucker for holiday traditions. I’d love for it to be one of ours, and eventually our children. The hubs pulled out all the stops and made me feel like a very lucky wife, which honestly, is a feeling I experience quite often. With that said, I knew this was one of the few occasions where I would be able to rock a sequined dress, so I took full advantage. I just didn’t think my (amazing) dress would come from Forever 21! It was a Christmas miracle. 😉

Squeeworthy: Caress Passionate Spellâ„¢ Fine Fragrance Elixir Body Wash

My husband always makes fun of the amount of time I spend in the shower. It’s just my happy place. I enjoy going over everything that happened throughout the day, what I need to do for the next and ultimately, relaxing. That’s why I can really appreciate a good body wash. I am always looking for one that not only smells good in the shower, but also out. After all, that’s what’s important, right? That’s why I love Caress’ new line of fine fragrance elixir body washes. I was lucky enough to try out Passionate Spell, which is a mixture of passion fruit and orange rose, and without a doubt, this stuff smells GOOD. How good? Let’s just suffice it to say that as I was washing out my pouf afterwards, I noticed there was enough for a second round and went for it!

And it passed the ultimate test when I got out of the shower. You know the one I’m talking about, ladies. The near impossible feat of getting your dude to spontaneously sniff you and say, “you smell nice!” This one’s a winner. And for more beauty advice and tips updated weekly, check out Caress’ new band of fabulistas, made up of  celeb style maven June Ambrose, YouTube beauty super vlogger Sonia Castaneda and lifestyle expert Lilliana Vazquez.

Denim Seeker Makes Its Way to South Florida

When shopping for jeans, I am immediately reminded of being a dressing room and overhearing a girl exclaim in utter frustration, “Where do people SHOP???” There really is nothing worse than treating yourself to a little shopping excursion, only to have a mental breakdown in a dressing room. Why doesn’t anything fit? Is it supposed to look like that? Maybe I can make it work.

Thankfully someone tapped into this frustration and created the Denim Seeker. What is this creation you ask? The Denim Seeker is a digital touch screen that maps out a shopper’s journey to finding the perfect pair of jeans. The tool connects shoppers with real women’s opinions and body types, 5 universal jeans that truly look good on every shape and size, and even a glossary of denim terms. As part of the in-store experience, Denim Seeker invites guests to select their body type, after which it will provide denim recommendations based on in-store availability. And the best part? The Bloomingdales in Aventura Mall is one of five in the country to house one of these bad boys.

This means you can head over to Bloomingdales, make your way up to the 2nd floor to the women’s denim department and find this glorious little contraption. Women of the world, rejoice! Now to find that elusive Cuban Hips button….

#StockingStufferSwap Reveal w/ Jessica

When I heard from my lovely friend Terri of Delightfully Darling that there was going to be a blogger Secret Santa of sorts hosted by herself and Amy of At The Pink of Perfection, I jumped at the opportunity to join! I love giving gifts even more than receiving them, so I had a great time picking out some fun and unique items for my partner, Jessica, whom you can find over at The Jessica L Blog. The idea was definitely a sweet one and I hope to participate in similar projects in the future – it’s such a fun way to get to know new (to me) bloggers.

So what was my swag?
A new cosmetics bag (desperately needed one of those); lip gloss; compact mirror & a set of glitter polishes, which I  cannot wait to test drive for some fun holiday manicures! Make sure to check out Jessica’s blog for her post on the items I sent her, and big thanks again to the ladies that put this all together!

Edit; check out my fresh & sparkly mani using one of Jessica’s sparkly polishes (paired with Essie’s Mojito Madness):
