Moody Style: Merci, Merci, Merci

I’m pretty happy that I grabbed this t-shirt from J.Crew on Cyber Monday. I love that it’s so versatile. You can layer it with a button-down shirt underneath or throw a blazer over it to dress it up a little bit or just wear it by itself. This past Sunday was filled with running errands, Christmas shopping, a baby shower and a cookie exchange. So I had to come up with an outfit that worked for the entire day. I think that this shirt helped to complete the look. I can’t wait to come up with more looks with this little tee. So I want to say a quick merci to the peeps at J.Crew for continuing to create amazing must-have pieces. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2014. Did you score any amazing deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? What was your favorite purchase? Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Holiday Dressing

I originally bought this little J.Crew dress for work, but I quickly realized that it’s a perfect dress for any occasion. Especially when you add a gorgeous piece of jewelry to complete the look. One of the sales associates even suggested adding a leopard belt to the dress for a different look, but I thought it might have been a little too much with the necklace. What do you think? Do you have any favorite go to outfits or looks for this holiday season? I’m pretty much a sucker for lots of glitz, sequins and plaids right now. I’m pretty sure I’ll be incorporating all of these trends over the next couple of weeks. What are some of your favorite holiday trends this season? Let me know in the comments.

Traveling Mood: New York, NY

I took a quick trip New York this past weekend to support and celebrate my aunt’s retirement from her nursing career. I’m so proud of her and her accomplishments. I can only hope and pray that I will be able to retire when I get older. My aunt has been a nurse for over 30+ years and she’s finally going to start taking it easy, which is well overdue. She is very excited about retiring because she has big plans for the future. One of her plans that I love is that she wants to become a tourist in her own city. She’s lived in Staten Island for years but she doesn’t know Manhattan and some of the other boroughs. I can’t wait to hear about some of her adventures. Even though I’ve been to NY many times, I still enjoy doing some of the touristy things in the city especially around the holidays. Do you have any favorite things to do in New York? Let me know in the comments! Some of you may have seen a few pictures on Instagram, but here are more pictures from this weekend below.
