I’m not sure if it’s the summer weather that’s making me feel rejuvenated or it’s the fact that the solar eclipse was in my first house. Could be both right? I haven’t shopped for myself in, what feels like, years. I’m probably exaggerating though. It’s more like, I haven’t splurged in years. So, I’m so excited to share what I purchased from Intimissimi and Gossard. I absolutely love these brands. Gossard has been one of my favorite lingerie brands for years because the bras are long lasting and the styles are simple yet sexy. Intimissimi is more of a splurge…
I finally stopped by the Dominque Ansel Bakery in Soho. And, I must say, I was very impressed by the variety of pastries. I remember he became popular in the city due to the invention of the cronut, a hybrid between a croissant and doughnut. That wasn’t exactly my motivation to visit the bakery but a box of macarons definitely was. They have a new collection called Go Around the World. The collection consists of seven different pastries representing seven popular cities from around the world. I did not buy any from the collection but I was content with my…
There’s nothing better than the winter holidays and festivities. My favorite part are the decorations and lights that are put up everywhere. Oh and the holiday markets are the best!

The windows were filled with cotton…

I have to be honest. When I buy hair products, or any product, I buy it based on the packaging and design. Now this may be a horrible reason to purchase something, especially now that we live in a time where reviews mean everything. I need something to look good in order to make me feel good. And secondly it needs to work good. Backwards, right? But so far this method has worked for me. So when I laid eyes on the Cortex International flat iron, I couldn’t resist but purchasing it. It came in a turquoise box with gold…
