Topshop-ping

As the CT Topshop ambassador, I had to check out the line at Nordstrom in West Farms mall. I had a blast looking through the unique items and scored myself a new casual winter coat as well as a gorgeous lace & beaded cropped top .  My favorite part of the experience is you have your very own Topshop Personal Stylist!  My PS was named Dan & he was so helpful and a little fashionist-o himself.

P.S. how are you liking my new Ombre hair?

Street Style: Fall for Denim

jenandjamie

Street Style is a new feature that was inspired over a few chats with a fellow friend and fashion blogger, Jen Burns (blogger of Pretty in Pink). Our goal is to style each other (and others!) and show affordable looks that are polished and of course, amazing.  We will be sale-hunting across New England and we would love you to follow our journey as well as contribute!  Please submit your #StreetStyle looks on Facebook!

Our very first Street Style is Fall for Denim which doesn’t have to be just wearing a pair of jeans.  Denim comes in all shapes and sizes and we wanted to show how we styled it…on a budget!

Flowy & Carefree in Italy

I am still on a high from my trip to Italy.  It was amazing and I was happy to spend time with my family & friends while vacationing there.  We started in Rome and made our way to Southern Italy, where I fell in love with the Amalfi Coast (Sorrento, Isla de Capri, Positano).  Then, we made our way to Verona, Venice, Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, and Florence.  Each Italian region has it’s own culture and food and I found myself falling in love with the Amalfi lemons (lemoncello is delicious) and Tuscan Chianti.

My Italia fashion was comfortable and chic so I wore loose, flowy dresses with layers and of course, accessorized everyday. 🙂 Guess sent me this amazing Exotic sport’s watch that was perfect for such an exotic trip! Shop the look here.

Have you been to Italy?  What other countries have you visited?  This was my first European vacation and something tells me I will be going back in no time!

Mom gets Married!

My mom got married over Labor Day weekend and it was one of the happiest days of my life. To see her, after all of her struggles, marry a wonderful gentleman, it truly brought tears to my eyes. We had a great evening of dining, dancing, and even a Polish-themed after-party with sauerkraut and kielbasa! Even though she married an Italian, my mom is sticking to her Polish roots! I wanted to share some pictures of this beautiful day. Thanks for reading all! xo
