Icon Q Jett Wireless Charger

December is here and what a better way to start a post with a gift idea for those who love the latest technology. Recently I have recieved the Icon Q Jett Wireless Charger starter kit for Apple 5/5s, an electromagnetic device that transmit energy between the transmitter (dock) and the receiver (phone). The Icon Q allows you to drop your phone on top of the dock (charger) and quickly pick it up without having to pull the cable charger out, perfect for bloggers/writers to have during New York Fashion Week. The red light informs you its ready, once you drop your phone on the dock the green light appears. Honestly, I personally love it. I receive so many emails and usually I spend most of the time on my computer, blogging and editing pictures so its perfect when my friends call and I can easily just pick up the phone. You can also charge the phone using the USB cable if you feel more comfortable that way. Although keep in mind, because it's a wireless charger it will take a bit longer to fully charge. The Icon Q is aimed more for convenience instead of speed. Have I mentioned this cool product is only $49? Perfect for a great holiday gift and staying within your budget as well. Jett Starter Kit is only for iPhone 5/5s, Samsung Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy s4/s5.

By the way, Icon Q is having a special giveaway.

Black on Black with Wolford

Hey Sexy's,

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend. My Thanksgiving plans consist of food with my family and of course Black Friday shopping spree. This year a lot of stores opened at 6pm on Thanksgiving so if we wanted the good deals we had to head to the mall as soon as we're done eating before everything was sold out. As most of you do so too, I take advantage of the Black Friday sale by starting my christmas shopping early. Already knowing I was going to have a very long day not only did I wanted to dress up and look amazing but also be as comfortable as I can be. Wolford had send me these amazing pair of Evelyn Stay-Up in black which may I add the details are so beautiful. There are many ways you can wear Evelyn with, I decided to rock them with a long sleeve body conscious black dress from H&M, my Michael Kors coat and boats from Target. Evelyn Stay-Up was perfect for a dinner party celebration and an evening of shopping, it definitely transformed my simple outfit. Hours of wearing Evelyn I was so impress but not surprise on the good quality and how secure the fit is. Unlike most stay-ups/hold-ups, I didn't have to keep rolling them back up to keep it in place. The elasticized band at the top holds the stockings up very well, perfect for an everyday look. Don't forget to let me know what you guys think about these amazing Wolford stay-ups and I definitely recommend you to check them out if you haven't.

One Direction Limited-Edition Beauty Collection: Review

Well hello beauties,

This blog post is dedicated not only to those who love makeup but are a huge fans of One Direction. Yes, I said it! I had the opportunity to test our their new limited-edition beauty collection and may I say I am very impress.

The One Direction limited-edition beauty palette contains 6 eyeshadows, 4 lip gloss, lip gloss top coat, eye pencil, and 2 nail polish. Pretty much you have everything you need to glam yourself. The 3 eye shadows from the top row are more metallic while the bottom row eye shadows have a little shimmer, perfect to create a smokey eye. The "Tell me a Lie" eye shadow (which is like a metallic nude pink) can be used as a highlighter as well. Keep in mind, I applied a primer before I swatch the eye shadows on my arm. Although both "Loved you First" and "Irresistable" are similar I must say "Loved you First" is my favorite lip gloss in the palette. "Heart Attack" lip gloss is more of natural look, I would add "One thing" lip gloss on top of either "Loved you First" or "Irresistable" to give it a more beautiful shinny lip.
My boyfriend and I planned a little dinner with my best friend so I wanted to create a stunning look for a night out in the city but yet keep it a little simple. First I applied "Summer Love" eyeshadow (smokey purple haze) to add on to the crease. Than taking an eye shadow brush I picked "Nobody Compare" (metallic silver) and applied it to the whole lid. After blending in both eye shadows I used the eye pencil to create a wing on the eyes. Because I need a little bit more color I decided to apply my favorite "Loved you First" lip gloss, added some foundation, fixed my eye brows, applied Mac lashes and I am done with my look. What do you guys think?

And I would have a giveaway soon that will be including this cute One Direction limited-edition makeup with other awesome goodies as well. Stay tune!

Gift Guid - Creeds Collective Pop-up Shop

Last week I had the pleasure of attending Creeds Collective press preview Pop-up shop located at 54 Crosby St in Soho. Open from now through December 28th, the pop-up shop offers variety of fashion forward brands that are perfect gift ideas for the holidays. It's a great one-stop shop to get all the gifts you need and cross-off your christmas list without going through the hustle of looking from store to store because I'm sure like my family and friends, everyone has different taste and preference. A great thing about this shop are the different price ranges they offer, you can find something for someone who likes just simple and classic to someone who's all about the wow factor. Before you head over there I just want to show you what you'll be expecting and maybe give you a little gift guid with more information on some of the items that I fell in love with.

First thing I noticed and quickly caught my eye as I walked in were Parme Marin pieces. These unique one of a kind pieces is aim for someone who's confident and definitely wants to make a statement when walking in the room. Each piece are hand-made, giving it the sense of vintage but yet modern look. The colorful african inspired designs can be paired with just a simple plain white t-shirt. 

If you know anybody that loves the luxury statement handbags than Lauren Cecchi is the right choice. Crafted in New York City, Lauren Cecchi is a simple, classic and elegant handbag that could go with any outfit. They're definitely a great gift (even for yourself) you just need that one bag in your closet that is perfect for day and night.

Not to worry, Creeds Collective Pop-up Shop offers brands dedicating just for man as well. House of Horology watches are cutting-edge designs with luxurious components, perfect for any occasion. Although sometimes its hard to find the perfect holiday presents for man, you can never go wrong with gifting a watch.

Noir Jewelry, my absolute all time favorite and a must-have in every girls closet. Prices can range from $65 to $1,000, but from my experience the pieces are a great investment. The collections are colorful, glamours and playful but yet classic. It's a perfect gift idea for someone who's into fashion and loves jewelry that can make a statement in their wardrobes, especially the rings. The rings are crazy!!!

If you knee anyone who loves the unique fridge and fabric pieces than Reason to be Pretty is perfect. Just like the Parme Marin pieces, Reason to be Pretty can be styled with just a simple shirt giving the reason that theres already too much going on. Designed by Nophar Haimovitz, all pieces are handmade and hand dyed which explains why some items are pricy but they do offer some affordable pieces as well.

You can never go wrong gifting a red leather handbag, especially for the holidays without breaking the budget. Angela & Roi is a classic yet with a modern touch, giving a simple but a confident statement as well. Each piece are made of 100% high quality vegan leather, and you can simply clean it with a dry cloth (but try to keep it away from rain and water).

Victoria Road are just one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen. They're one-of-a-kiud finds, perfect fits for someone who loves unique timeless pieces.

Finally, another handbag that caught my attention. Jess Rizzuti is an eco-friendly statement handbags with water-based dyes and heat transferred patterns. Price ranges between $300-$700, but may I add it's worth it.

Nvey Eco Organic Makeup: Review

Hey beauties,
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. It has been a busy month for me, planning my niece 3rd birthday, construction in my room, designing my best friend halloween costume and trying to hunt down the best couple halloween costume for my boyfriend and I. After finally having some down time I was looking forward to trying out Nvey Eco Organic makeup. Nvey Eco offers the natural pure organic ingredients without using any chemicals such as parabens (which causes irritation to the skin), and petrochemicals (which is made up of crude oil and natural gas), both many believe causes cancer. Before foundation I applied the Nvey Eco Primer, which helps hide the fine lines, dark circles and wrinkles but most importantly holds the foundation in place. When applying the primer it felt more like applying lotion which I love, it left my skin super soft. I normally use liquid foundation so I was pretty nervous on applying the Nvey Eco Cream Deluxe Flawless finish foundation in the shade Cool Ivory 876. Did I mention that the cream foundation is formulated to leave your skin soft with vitamin A, C & E? Yes! Definitely a foundation that one must have, especially for someone who wears makeup almost everyday like I do. Finally I applied a little black eye liner, Nvey Eco eye shadow in Brow Sugar 158 and Nvey Eco advanced lip color in Soleil 363, going for a more natural look.
Overall I am pretty satisfy with Nvey Eco, a product leaving my skin looking extra soft and healthy is a plus in my books. By the way, They're available at Ulta! Let me know what you guys think about Nvey Eco, I would love to hear your opinions and reviews.

The chunky boots.

The leaves fall, the wind blows, just one of those perfect October afternoons. I must say, one of my favorite things about this month is just not because of Halloween (which I'm obsess about) but also all the colorful leaves falling on the ground. I hate flats! And to be honest I can't wear them much because my foot is just so use to wearing heels so I was super excited that Cat Footwear had these amazing boots that I can wear all day everyday. The women's "Tennille" boots provides comfort with its 2 1/2 chunky heel, lace-up in front, and full grain leather material, giving it a fresh but yet inspired fashionable shoe. I paired the "Tennille" boots with a blue levy's jeans and a white loose v-neckline button shit from Zara. I had dinner plans with a couple of friends that evening but before the dinner date I had to stop by Party City to shop for my baby niece birthday party, because I will be on my foot all day and night I wanted to be comfortable but also be a little dressy as well. Oh, did I mention it was raining? Yes! but not to worry, the shoes are water resistance (at least the water didn't go through) which I was extremely impress. Sadly my umbrella broke due to the strong winds we had, at least the rain was slowly calming down after that had happened.
