Coming Back

I know it has been a long time since I've posted anything, more than a year, a lot has happened and changed over that time period. I moved, got a job at an orthopedic office, then a new job at UM Hospital, got married and now planning a move to North Carolina. I've worn a lot of outfits in this past year worth posting about, but haven't had the time to post anything, here are just a few outfits I plan to post about soon.

Baby Shower Stripes

Unknown accessories , booties 0 Comments

My cousin's baby shower had finally come and it was the night before I would fly out to Nicaragua with my friend. I had stayed with her and her sister since all weekend since my other cousin had picked me up from work the day before at Macy's. I had just bought a new laptop and was trying to transfer everything from the mini laptop my friend was letting me borrow, so I wouldn't have to bring it, but there was no time and I was only able to transfer a few movies and download a few programs. I had to get dressed so fast and retouch my makeup, luckily I had already selected and separated the jewelry I would wear. When we got there we still had to set up and I was the photographer before the guests arrived to take pictures of the set up.

New dress from Macy's, faux fur cover from Burlington Coat Factory and booties from Sears.

New necklace and earrings from Forever 21, ring from Beya, black watch and white bracelet from mini in the box, gold chain bracelet from H&M and blue bracelet from Miss A.

I had made some cupcakes at Publix to bring for these weekend events, when my cousin saw them, she decided to keep them all for the shower. My manager had stepped out for her long break and that's when I decided I would make those cupcakes. There was only white buttercream, so I had to color it to a light blue then I looked around to see what I can use for decoration and picked these white chocolate, milk chocolate shapes and the striped chocolate sticks. Running around doing all this all alone there felt great, like this was my own bakery.....one day.

Post Venetian

Unknown Avon , booties 0 Comments

My plans changed for Halloween night and I went to a small get together at a new friend's apartment just a few blocks from me and then we headed to Dorrian's Red Hand to finish the night off. It was my first time walking around in NYC with heels and it wasn't that bad since these are Dexter from Payless which are made for walking.

Wore the Forever 21 dress, opaque tights from Target, Payless booties, furry shrug from Burlington Coat Factory and mad from State News, a local party supplies store.

Gold Avon necklace, Icing by Claire's earrings, Henri Bendel stack rings and Wet n' Wild lipstick.

Guess watch, New York and Company bangles and Henri Bendel cuff.

Halloween in the City

Unknown Avon , booties 0 Comments

This is my first Halloween in NYC, last years was up north in Westchester county. As I mentioned in the last post, there's a Venetian masquerade party that I wasn't sure if I was going or not, but I bought a mask just in case. Well, the event price went up, which is what I get for overthinking it, but I received an invitation from a new friend I made at a previous event for a get together, so I shall be heading there tonight.

Dress from Forever 21 that I've only wore once, which was for my 22nd birthday, faux fur shrug from Burlington Coat Factory, necklace from Avon, earrings from Icing by Claire's, New York & and Company bracelets, Henri Bendel cuff and Venetian mask from from State News, a store in the upper east side.

I shall update when I actually wear my costume, which will be with tights and heels.

Created my Halloween manicure last night with matte black and red nails with a candy corn accent nail.

Networking Party

Unknown accessories , booties 0 Comments

Last night I had my first Meet up event, NYESN: Oct 20th Business Networking Party at Gansevoort Park Rooftop, which is the New York Entrepreneurs and Startup Network. The event started at 6:30pm, but I was still working so I arrived about 35 minutes later. Wish I had taken pictures of the view, but was so busy networking, I didn't get a chance to take any.

I didn't have any one my professional clothes since I didn't get to see my cousin this weekend, so I went out looking for a dress. Well turns out size 4 and medium don't fit me anymore because I keep shrinking. I got a small Merona dress at Target in the work wear section, opaque black tights also from Merona at Target, Payless booties and Forever 21 red coat.

Pictures weren't that great since it was dark out and I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to keep taking better ones.

Of course since it was a networking party where you market yourself, I wore my designs, Zetram Designs. Pearl necklace, small pearl bracelet and the big pearl and silver bracelet, which did get a lot of attention.

Business Casual

Unknown accessories , Anne Klein 0 Comments

Last night I went to my first event in NYC, it was Toast to Tanzania, hosted by Opportunity International, a group of young ambassadors trying to end global poverty. So it was my first charity event and networking event as well, I was finally able to put my monogrammed Henri Bendel card holder to use. I was invited through my boss and an old employee of hers.

It was a business casual event and most of my nicer clothes are still with my cousin upstate, so my boss lent me a dress, I wore my American Eagle flats from Payless and my Anne Klein purse from Marshalls.

Wore my pearl necklace and bracelet, Zetram Designs.

Wore Henri Bendel stack rings and cuff.

It was an open bar so I had Chardonney since there was no Pinot Grigio. Made some new friends and possible future events for myself. One of the speakers was Mark Lutz which has a book called Unpoverty that was given out at the end of the night in gift bags.
