Happy Australia Day :)

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday! :) If you are somewhere cold, I hope you are staying warm and dry; if you are currently enjoying the summer sunshine (like my Aussie friends), I am super envious, hope you are making the most out of your summer! Today's post is going to be a dedication to Australia. Many of you may know that Australia day is coming up on Jan 26 (this Sunday). This is an annual national celebration that marks the anniversary of the First Fleet of British Ships arriving in 1788 at Sydney Cove. I thought today's post would be the perfect time to share with you some of the Melbourne photos we took during my recent trip back home, and give you a small taste of one of the most livable cities in the world :)

Staying Warm for Winter Training

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday, hope you are having a fab day! Today, I am super excited to talk about outdoor training gear for the winter months. I know many of you may have made new year's resolutions to be stronger, fitter, to exercise more and to eat healthier, and this year, you MEAN IT :P I personally really enjoy outdoor activities, and find them to be much more interesting and fun than just working out in a gym. However, persistent cold weather proves to be a great barrier in staying motivated and on track with your fitness plan/goal. If you fall into this category, never fear my friend, because having the right gear makes all the difference, even during the coldest months! :)

Outback Glam & Hellooooo 2014!

Hi everyone, happy 2014!! Hope this year is off to a fabulous start for you! I thought I would do something more fun for the first post of the year, so I got dressed up and switched out the usual urban jungle backdrop for some refreshing bush land scenery. It's important to start the year nice and fresh! This was taken while I was still in Melbourne, my home city. I had such a wonderful time back in Australia over Christmas and new year with my family and friends. There is really no place like home! :)

Summer Festivities

G'day from Australia! Hope you are having an awesome day and looking forward to the holidays!! I came back to Melbourne last week, and it's been so amazing just to be back at home with my family and friends. Melbourne is still as beautiful as I remember it and I am beyond excited to spend the next week or so catching up with everyone, soaking up some much needed Aussie sunshine and enjoying the company of my gorgeous home city. In the spirit of the holidays, I'm dressed in holiday colors today to add some cheer to a summer Christmas :)

Barcelona Highlights

Hi everyone, happy Thursday! Hope you are having a fabulous week! Since getting back from Barcelona, we've already had two snow falls. I guess there is no turning back, winter is really here. As promised, this post is dedicated to Barcelona, a beautiful city filled with rich history, captivating architectural structures, mouth-watering culinary creations and fascinating cultural conventions. If you have never been, I highly recommend a visit and experience everything Barcelona has to offer!

The Fringe Benefit

Hi everyone, happy Thursday! For those from the US, I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family and ate lots of yummy turkey. I spent my Thanksgiving this year in Barcelona and I was beyond excited to explore this beautiful city, taste all the delicious local cuisine and enjoy a glass (or two) of the sangria over lunch. I did just that, and fell in love with everything Barcelona has to offer. Post on Barcelona highlights coming soon, I can't wait to share my travel photo journey with you all. On this happy note, I'm going super casual today, taking full advantage of this mild-ish day in the city and enjoying some fringe action :)

Neutral Territory

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a fantastic week so far. I'm bracing the cold in neutrals today. It's not often that I'm in all neutral shades, and I'm loving it! These colors are the essential building blocks of our wardrobe, so you really can't go wrong with them. I think a warmer palette of neutral colors is so effortless and very comforting on a day like today :)

Sweater Weather

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a great week! Brrrr....it is definitely sweater weather today. Just yesterday we had our first snow fall of the season. It was short lived, but the chill still permeated the entire city. Winter may be coming early this year and I'm greeting the cold with a splash of rich burgundy and playful velvet polka dots. I think it does the trick :P

Something Wild

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday, hope you are having a wonderful week so far! I was feeling a little cheeky over the weekend and wanted to wear something light-hearted and cheerful. This ensemble is perfect for those casual weekend brunches and strolling around the city. A little animal power in this chilly weather is definitely a mood elevator and a fantastic weapon against the cold! :)

Fall for Classics

Hi everyone, happy Halloween! Hope you have plenty of candy in stock and let the spooky parties begin! I haven't been feeling very well for the last couple of days and am definitely on the way to a speedy recovery. The temperature in NYC dropped significantly over the last week or so and my body was madly adjusting to this crazy weather :P My cold day remedy?...nothing like a great trench coat to warm up a windy and miserable day...and chicken soup of course! :)

Fall Leather + Floral Mix

Hi everyone, hope you are having a great Thursday! The weather in NYC is definitely getting more chilly, I'm pretty sure winter is on its way. Before this happens, I want to share one of my favorite finds for fall - the trusty leather jacket. This baby has been my go-to closet item; it's definitely getting a lot of love this season :)

A Golden Moment with The Tulle Skirt

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a fabulous day! I'm feeling a little fancy today and decided to put on a tulle skirt. There's nothing quite like a tulle skirt to make you feel like a little lady :P
