This Week (in pictures)

This weekend and this week has been very busy & exciting.  We went to Hoboken, NJ and had a blast & with the holiday coming up, I have been trying to catch up on all of my shopping and errands.  What better way to share my week than in pictures?

Thanksgiving Decor

Food is a huge part of Thanksgiving but setting the perfect ambiance is important to a perfect holiday dinner as well.  From simple pumpkin and gourds to extravagant centerpieces, a little fall flare will bring your gathering to life.

Versace for H&M

Who thought Versace could ever be affordable for the average Joe  Jane. H&M is already a favorite store of mine since it is an affordable European inspired store.  They just got better- they have a new line by Versace including metallic and patterned dresses, leather jackets with edge, and daring high heels.  The best part, almost everything is under $300.

Sexy Little Sweater Dress

The must-have piece of the season: a sweater dress.  These comfortable, adorable little pieces can be dressed up or down and will keep you warm all season long.  To find the perfect one, try a couple different brands, and make sure you like the material.  Some of the sweater dresses can be too thin (see-through!) or have itchy fabric.  Here are a couple favorites to help you on your search.
