Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great start to your week. It's been gloomy in NYC for what feels like weeks now. We had one gorgeous day on Friday but it's been nothing but clouds on the east coast. The clouds haven't stopped me from enjoying this cooler weather though! We've had such a mix of hot and cold weather, it's insane. It went from 85 on Thursday to 55 on Friday. So crazy. On Saturday Tom and I drove down with our friends to Terhune Orchards in Princeton and had the best time apple and pumpkin picking and wine tasting. We also had their amazing apple cider doughnuts! It drove home and watched scary movies while drinking apple cider, it was the ultimate fall day! Speaking of which, I wanted to share some fall accessories that I've been loving lately. Let me know what you think!</div>

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I'm back with a travel post sharing my travel guide for London and Ireland. I say Ireland because even though we only intended to Dublin we ended up renting car and driving through the lush countryside coast to coast! It was amazing!<br />

Some of you that have followed me might remember that I went to London 3 years ago with my friend Cynthia but this time around I went with Tom and was able to explore and we were able to explore a whole new side of London together.<br />
<br />
I might be a native New Yorker but London is my most favorite, favorite city in the entire world! There's something so charming, sophisticated and unique about London that the first time I went I immediately looked up how to get a working visa to move and work there haha! Good thing I didn't or else I wouldn't have met Tom just 2 months later :) <i>Everything happens for a reason.</i><br />
<br />
London is a big city with lots of neighborhoods. You can easily get around using the tube, which is like their subway service or their famous double decker buses. The tube is so easy to navigate, especially if you're familiar with the NYC subway lines! And the trains run so much better than in NYC, being that we were only there 48 hours, we were grateful!<br />
<br />
The first day we arrived bright an early but little did we know it was a bank holiday and that a lot of businesses were closed or opened later in the day. It was also Carnival in our neighborhood in Notting Hill, which we also had no idea about! haha boy we're we in for a surprise. Typically 2 million people visit London for Carnival and it was taking place just 2 blocks from where we were staying! Absolute craziness, I've never seen a party like it haha. So we stayed in Notting Hill because it's absolutely adorable and because it's also one of my favorite movies! LOL Anyone else a fan of 90's era Hugh Grant?<br />
<br />
While we waited to check into our Airbnb we wandered around aimlessly for 6 hours stopping by the super instaworthy Elan Cafe which is gorgeous! Not only is it instaworthy with it's flower walls and adorable pastries, the brunch we had was actually really delicious! It's an allergy sufferers dream too! As a person with many allergies myself, I was thrilled to find out their long list of milk substitutes and every dish was made with the healthiest ingredients. I got a coconut milk and quinoa porridge with fresh fruits and Tom got Avocado Toast with an egg on it and a red velvet latte! I'm crossing my fingers they open one in NYC!<br />

We also went to the London Eye and I showed Tom around Parliament, Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park. The highlight for the both of us was the Harry Potter Studio Tour. We're both huge Harry Potter fans and went to visit the Warner Bros. Studio in Waterford, about 35 minutes outside of London. They filmed all 8 movies on that set and had tons of the original sets, props and costumes from all the movies.<br />

Have you ever traveled somewhere and thought to yourself, this feels more like home than home does? That was Ireland for me. Maybe I was Irish in a past life but there was something about it that was so familiar, it just felt like a home to me. The people were incredibly kind, so welcoming and went out of their way to help us every single time we got lost. We stayed at an Airbnb right behind Dublin Castle in the center of Dublin and were 15 minutes walking distance from all the major tourist attractions.</div>
</div>
<br />
Going to Ireland was more than just a vacation, there was something spiritual about Ireland. From the fresh air, the kindness surrounding us and the lush green rolling hills. I got emotional just looking around at such a beautiful country. I completely understood they were so proud of their country. It reminded me a lot of Puerto Rico, both are incredibly family oriented cultures. They love their food and drink and they work to live, not live to work like we do here in NYC.<br />

While we were in Dublin we went to the Jameson Distillery and the Guinness Storehouse which were both great. They reminded me a bit of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; consider them amusement parks for adults - haha! I also got to hang out with my friend Catherine from The Dainty Dress diaries and she's just grand (as she would say!). She's one of the kindest, funniest people I've ever met and we actually got to know each other through our blogs & Instagram. She's a Dublin native and was so helpful when planning our trip! Thanks Dainty! XO<br />
<br />
If you're looking for a traditional Irish meal and pub experience, I'd recommend O'Neill Pub & Kitchen. It happens to be the oldest pub in Dublin, opened in 1713 and the food was delicious! I was a little skeptical of the food but I was pleasantly surprised. We also had a delicious meal when we went down to Cork. Tom's grandmother was from Cork and we think she immigrated by herself to Brooklyn, very similar to the movie Brooklyn! So Tom and I drove down to Cork and had the cutest lunch at a restaurant called The Market Lane. Their french onion soup was so good!<br />

The highlight of Ireland for me was the Cliffs of Moher. Right on the West Coast of Ireland, 3 1/2 hours away from Dublin is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. Over 5 miles of cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. They are so enormous, you can't help but feel teeny tiny. We walked across the cliffs for about 2.5 hours and at one point I just sat and cried and as I cried, I prayed and the sun began to peak through the clouds. It was one of the most spiritual moments of my life. I had been wanting to come to the Cliffs for so many years. I had seen it in so many movies and saw so many pictures but never imagined I'd actually get to go and there I was sitting overlooking the ocean and the sun was shining down on me and all I could do was thank God for bring me to that place in that moment. It was incredible!<br />

Happy travel Tuesday, friends! I know my travel posts are LONG overdue but thanks for being patient while I got back into the grove of things. It's been almost 3 weeks since I've been back I think? haha and I can't stop reminiscing of the good days spent since Europe. I'm splitting my trip into 2 posts and including vlogs! I know, I just started vlogging and I'm loving it. I'll do a further in depth post as to why I've decided to do so but I'm excited to share with you all. Now let's get to the travel guide...</div>

<u><b>Amsterdam</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We arrived to Amsterdam first and after feeling super jetlagged we were determined to explore the city and walked SO MUCH. That's definitely expected in Europe but I think it's the best way to explore a new city. We stayed at Hotel Casa Amsterdam which was about 30 minutes out of center city but we much preferred it that way. There's so much commotion in the center city and everyone travels by bike, we almost got run over by bikes so many times and we liked being in a more of a residential area and being around lots of quaint restaurants.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Things to do:</u></b><br />
<br />
Amsterdam was such a chill city, not the most friendly people. Nobody was outwardly friendly or courteous which was kinda weird being from the states. Either way we had a really great time and tried the following activities that I would totally recommend! Let me first start off with I'm pretty afraid of heights and this Europe trip definitely took me out of my comfort zone. I did not one but two things that most people afraid of heights would not do. Tom and I swung off of the A'dam lookout which I gotta say is so cool! It was part of a 3-part excursion experience, A'dam lookout swing, a canal cruise and the Heineken experience. The A'dam lookout is a large red swing that hangs over a building - I know sounds crazy and it is BUT you're strapped in and the swing just barely goes over the building but you feel as if you're going right over. They took pictures of us and even a video! I'll include it in my instastories!<br />
<br />
The canal cruise from the A'dam lookout was a 45 minute ride through the canals and it was absolutely adorable! The architecture is so charming in Amsterdam and the residents keep such good care of their homes. At the end of the canal cruise we arrived at the Heineken Experience which was a full tour of the Heineken factory. I'm not a huge beer fan but it reminded me so much of Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory. It was like an amusement park for adults! Lots of interactive exhibits and a few beers at the end of the tour!</div>

<i>Where to eat: </i>Pancake Bakery is an absolute must while visiting Amsterdam. I had no idea Amsterdam was known for their pancakes and waffles but I'm so happy we found out! I am a huge breakfast fan, I mean who am I kidding I'm a huge foodie but pancakes hold a special place in my heart. The Pancake Bakery is right on the canal and is the perfect breakfast spot. It is open until 9:30pm if you're looking for a sweet nighttime treat. Be prepared to eat pancakes larger than you're face but don't worry they only serve you one haha! There were unlimited toppings and they were so good! I'd recommend trying the plain one with bacon but my boyfriend had the nutella and banana pancake and said it was divine!<br />

We stayed at an Airbnb and it was fine. It wasn't my favorite Airbnb but it worked considering it had a washer/dryer and we were thrilled to do some laundry. It also was in a pretty great location, it was across the water from Old Town Geneva but it was only a 5 minute walk to the bridge. Old Town Geneva was adorable and it was nice to see more residential Geneva as we took the local bus up to Mont Saleve. Geneva borders France so it was literally a 15 minute bus ride to France, crazy! We were told that often French people work in Geneva because they can make up to 3x the salary in Geneva than they would in France but the cost of living in France is significantly less than in Switzerland. Note that things are expensive, very expensive. A hot dog was $8 and being from New York I'm used to getting one for maybe $2? So that was a bit of a shock but restaurant meals were reasonably priced and other activities we found to be so cheap! Our first night there we rented a small motor boat to take on the water for only $90! We spent 2 hours cruising with some rose as the sun set and it is one of the greatest memories I'll have from that trip. Tom took the lead and navigated us through Lake Geneva and it was just amazing. The four of us cruising on the water in our bathing suits awing at the huge mansions on the mountains and seeing the Alps in the distance - so beautiful. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also did the craziest thing I've ever done - paragliding! I'm not a fan of heights, and I initially opted out of this group activity but Tom being the outdoorsy, adrenaline junkie that he is convinced me to do it. He coordinated private paragliding sessions for all of us right at the border of Switzerland and France and we met with the nicest instructor who went up with each of us for about 15-20 as we soared above Lake Geneva. It was such an authentic experience! Our instructor, Cyril, met us at the bottom of the mountain and drove us up these winding roads to the very top of Mont Saleve where we were greeted with nothing but green mountainous views as far as the eyes could see. There was the cutest barn with a coffee shop and cows! </div>

I know this might be surprising since I'm from New York and we have some of the best Italian restaurants around but I had by far the best lasagna I've ever had in my life, ever in Geneva. There were nights where Tom and I would just have dinner by ourselves instead of the 4 of us and it was so special. Like I've written so many times before, date nights with Tom are my favorite and it was extra special that we made time for date nights while out traveling with our friends. We were both in the mood for Italian since we love Italian food so much and we checked on Yelp for some recommendations. We saw that Restaurant Il Fornello Napoletano had the best ratings and everyone raved about their lasagna. I love lasagna, I love all pasta but lasagna holds a special place in my heart. Once I saw that they raved about the lasagna I told Tom, we gotta try it! So off we went to a place about 10 minutes from our Airbnb, a really simple restaurant on the corner and we sat outside. The seafood lover that Tom is ordered Shrimp Scampi but everywhere we went throughout Europe didn't have your typical version of shrimp scampi. This restaurant's version was yet an even more unique version. His had fresh tomatoes, hugmongous prawns and a creamy almost marsala style sauce. Different but still yummy. I had the baked lasagna and you guys, it was a dream. It was rich, cheesy, so savory and served in a mini cast iron dutch oven. It was so good!</div>

<br />Happy Wednesday, everyone! I'm writing to you from my comfy couch, we are back home! We just arrived back from Dublin and I must say it's such an adorable city! I can't believe the past two weeks have flown by so fast! It was such a wonderful time and was especially nice since it was significantly cooler in Europe than back in NYC and we all know how much I love fall weather! :) While the weather forecast fooled me and I didn't pack appropriately clothing wise, my travel bag did not let me down. I wanted to share what's in my travel bag and what items are a MUST when traveling anywhere!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because we were traveling internationally and were going to be so far from home I wanted to be prepared. Super prepared. I'm notorious for underpacking and forgetting the necessities so this time around I started packing 3 weeks before the trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZFIKLOW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">this</a> awesome purse organizer that fit perfectly in my middle sized Longchamp. Large tote bags are my favorite for traveling because you can just throw everything in there. This organizer was so helpful and had compartments for my wallet, passport, chargers, medicines - literally everything! I found it on Amazon for under $15 and has small handles so you can easily take it out and use it in your other bags.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0723CJX4C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">This</a> portable phone charger has been a total lifesaver in Europe. It doesn't require any extra cords and comes in this adorable pink color! Since I took a nighttime flight, I made sure to have <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/RGgj">these</a> wipes handy to wipe off the day. I later applied my makeup once we landed but I tried my best to sleep with a clean face. Speaking of sleep, I've never been much of an airplane sleeper. It's always been hard for me to fall asleep but <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/RGlR">this</a> sleeping mask saved me! It made such a difference and made sleeping so much easier for me. I also brought an extra blanket and <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/RGgm">these</a> fuzzy socks for the airplane because I get so cold on flights! My goal is to be as comfortable as possible while traveling. Sometimes I get nervous on flights or tend to worry about traveling in general so I try to bring anything to calm me down including my kindle to read. I just started reading Crazy Rich Asians and I can't put it down!</div>
<br />
What are some of your travel must haves? Let me know in the comments!<br />

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've had a great couple of days. It's been a few days since I've posted but I've been a little busy prepping for my trip. I'll share more of my packing and travel tips in upcoming posts but today I wanted to share this date night look. Lately, my boyfriend and I have been super busy with our multiple jobs, appointments, meetings, and we haven't been able to see much of each other. Last week alone we only saw each other once and we found ourselves missing each other. We knew we'd reach a point in our entrepreneurial careers that we'd be so busy that we'd barely see each other but the time came before we were ready. We grew used to seeing each other almost everyday to seeing each other maybe once or twice a week due to our schedules. I'm always very appreciative of the time we get to spend together because he is my best friend and I love every moment we share. We agreed to get back into making date nights a priority, it's certainly hard with a busy schedule but realized how important it was. Whether it's a casual or fancy date night; we make effort to make time for us.<br />
<br />
I love dressing up for date nights, and this look from the Nordstrom sale has been one of my favorite. I already have planned 4 or 5 different ways of styling these pants for fall! I'm obsessed. These high waisted babies paired with this easy lacy tank was a hit for date night and would be perfect for a girl's night out. If you're into elevated basics like I am, this neutral look is honestly everything!! Please note that I will most likely be hemming these pants a bit so they fit better but I couldn't wait to shoot this look!<br />

<br />
Hi everyone! You might have seen my video on IGTV or the link above for a quick review of the products I use on a daily basis. Here's a more in depth breakdown of what I use all the time. I like to keep my skincare routine minimal and I love using chemical-free and natural products. I did a skincare post years ago on the blog and I figured now was about time I update it. Now that I'm 27 I can notice significant changes in my skin's elasticity and texture and I have finally understood how beneficial it is to take care of my skin now while I'm young to prevent from early aging and wrinkles.<br />
<br />
The first thing I want to mention before I get into the products is how important it is to drink water! I can iterate this enough. My skin looks so much better when I drink water consistently. I'll be the first one to admit that I don't drink enough water. I don't and I really should. They say drink about 64oz of water, daily, which is about 8 full cups of water and it helps get rid of toxins in the body and help detox. While it does help detox the body, it helps the skin look hydrate and super supple. Once you have that going for ya, the following products will be an added bonus to keep your skin looking fantastic!<br />
<br />
Like I said I keep my skincare products to a minimum. I don't use many products but I use products that really work. I have oily/combination skin and in the winter my skin gets crazy dry.<br />
<br />
<b>PRODUCTS I LOVE:</b><br />
<br />
<b><u>MORNINGS:</u></b> In the mornings I usually just rinse my face with water. I believe the less chemicals you put on your face, the better. So I rinse my face with water, pat dry it with a towel and moisturize with <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N55p">this</a> moisturizer.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N55p">CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30</a> is my favorite daily moisturizer at the moment. After trying many samples of this specific one, recommended to me by my dermatologist, I was thrilled with the results. It is a bit on the thicker side but only because it has sunscreen in it. Now I don't mind the sunscreen scent nor the texture because I'm getting hydration and protection from the sun. For me it's a win-win and it's only 1 product that I have to buy instead of 2. Another option is their <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N55r">Daily Moisturizing Lotion</a> and <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N55s">Shiseido </a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N55s">Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 42 For Face</a>. Both are also great lightweight options. Sunscreen has also been a game changer for me! I was never one to apply sunscreen other than if I was going to the beach or the pool but I started to apply it before makeup rain or shine and my skin looks so radiant and healthy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u>NIGHTS: </u></b>After a long day, I can't wait to take off my makeup. Removing my makeup is honestly one of my favorite things to do. I love to wash off the day with my <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N55x">Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water</a>. I'll take 2 cotton rounds and clean my face and after that I'll take an additional cotton round and take off any of the remain makeup off with my <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N55M">Thayers Natural Remedies Thayers Witch Hazel Alcohol Free Toner</a>. It takes off every last bit of makeup and smells amazing!<br />
<br />
After I shower I'll prep my skin for bed. I begin with a dry face and I'll continue and apply my under eye cream which is <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N53Y">Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado</a>. It's literally a dream. After consistent use of this I've noticed my dark under eyes have lightened significantly! It's so hydrating and actually works.<br />
<br />
I'll follow up with the BEST <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N533">LANEIGE - Lip Sleeping Mask</a>. It's the richest most hydrating lip mask and after wearing this at night, I wake up with hydrated, soft lips. Guaranteed. After that I'll add a few drops on either side of my face of the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N56l">Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate</a>. I'll rub it in smaller circular motions on my cheeks, chin and forever - basically all over my face and then I'll moisturize with the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N57L">CeraVe PM Face Moisturizer</a>. It's significantly lighter of a consistency than the AM moisturizer but again it leaves my skin soft and ready for the final step.<br />
<br />
Finally, I use a <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/N59D">Jade Roller</a> all over my face to add a little luxury to my night time routine and use of a Jade Roller help decrease inflammation and helps blood circulation on your face. I like to leave it in a cool place like the refrigerator or an air conditioned room and the chilled roller feels wonderful on your face. I have seen a difference after using it! My skin looks tighter and less puffy when I wake up in the morning.<br />
<br />
Woo, what a long post! I hope you find these products helpful and love them as much as I do. Let me know some of your favorite skincare products down below!<br />

Happy Tuesday! So sorry this post is going up so late but today was so hectic. I've been so busy trying to blog, work my full time, job, style, have a social life, love on my boyfriend and family, workout and sleep -- literally trying to do it all, everyday is exhausting. My friend told me about Randi Zuckerberg's book Pick 3 and how it explains that while we try to have it all, all the time, it's impossible so if we can pick 3 things to accomplish each day, your days become a little bit more balanced. Between work, family, friends, fitness and sleep, pick 3 and there's a higher chance you'll actually achieve your daily goals! Ever since she mentioned the practice, I've been trying to incorporate it in my day to day. Life can get so hectic sometimes, hence why this post is going up a little late!<br />
<br />
I wanted to talk about giving your wardrobe a little makeover. I shared with you all a couple weeks ago that I was starting up a business as a style consultant. I wanted to make my services available to everyone, regardless of budget and I wanted to show how it is possible to make style fit for you! One of my favorite ways to incorporate new outfits in my closet is restyling the pieces I already have. Every once in a while I do a major purge and donate things that I haven't worn in over a year. I love using Thread Up to donate my clean and undamaged items, and after doing a purge I like to revaluate what is left. I'm a fan of basics and neutrals so I also make sure to keep a couple neutral pieces in my closet (white t-shirt, beige blazer, black jeans, etc.), and I love to have some prints too! I begin by taking out casual wear first and rearranging tops with bottoms and I make sure to take pictures of the new outfits I've styled that way I can always go back and look when I think I have nothing to wear.<br />
<br />
Everything in today's post are pieces that I've had for at least 6-8 months yet never wore them this way. I'll be sharing even more #restylejuly outfits throughout the end of the month, make sure to follow the hashtag and if you're looking for styling advice, shoot me an email at style@thepetiteprinciple.com. I'd love to help you!<br />

What a morning it's been! I was up super early to shop the best sale of the year! Anyone else to set an alarm to shop?! Well, let me tell you the craziness that was this morning. I was up bright an early to check out all the new fall pieces and I found so much that I absolutely love and that is petite friendly! As I finalized my cart and went to complete my order my cart emptied - twice! After checking Nordstrom's twitter I saw that clearly I wasn't the only one who was shopping this early in the morning. After many attempts I gave up, but when I went back to check my Nordstrom account it looks like my order went through - twice! Sigh, I couldn't help but laugh. The website is still a little glitchy so be patient, friends! Here is what I got and I cannot wait to style these pieces! </div>

Happy Monday, everyone! As many of you already know the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts this week. It's one of my favorite sales of the year and I wanted break down every detail in today's post.<br />
<br />
The officially sale starts on July 12th for cardmembers! Cardmembers get to exclusively shop pre-season styles for a full week from<b> July 12th to the 19th </b>before the sale opens up to the public. Starting on <b>July 20th</b> the public gets to shop the sale until <b>August 5th</b> when it ends.<br />
<br />
<b><u>My recommendations for the sale:</u></b><br />
<br />
<b><u>Get a Nordstrom Card: </u></b>I got mine just in time for the sale two years ago and I haven't regretted it. I personally don't like getting store credit cards unless I really like shopping at that store and shop often. Getting a Nordstrom card has only been beneficial for me, especially during the Anniversary Sale. You get reward notes that you can use towards your purchases and an alteration credit. You also get to shop the sale a week before everyone else and before all the good items sell out!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Shop for classic pieces: </u></b>If you've been eyeing a pair of designer denim, now would be the time to get them. Most items are nicely discounted which is awesome considering these are all fall pieces. I purchased my black leather jacket during the sale and I wore it all fall!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Shop luxury:</u></b> Like I stated before this sale is truly one of a kind and the discounts are great. Most stores have sales once products have been available for a couple weeks but this sale gives you discounted rates before the fall season begins! Brands like Tory Burch, Vince Camuto, BlankNYC and Rebecca Minkoff are available and it's the perfect time to buy from these brands.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Buy many sizes: </u></b>Since I'm a petite, I often order a variety of sizes when shopping. While I know my measurements, I like to get a few sizes to try on at home so that I can figure out which one fits best. I would recommend doing the same for this sale. A lot of items sell out quickly so it's best to buy a few different sizes just incase and return what doesn't fit, instead of trying to find another size later on in the sale.<br />
<br />

Happy shopping, friends and thanks so much for reading today's post!</div>

My grandma always said dress up like you’re going to meet your future husband; while it’s no longer 1955 and I don’t feel the pressure to dress up for a man, I understand the sentiment behind what she said. Dress up like you’re meeting someone important, dress up like you’re meeting a potential client, or your future boss. Dress up like you’re representing yourself, which is at the end of the day is your brand. Style is important and it’s a reflection of you. It’s a reflection of how you’re feeling, how you feel about yourself and the message you are trying to portray to the world. I’m passionate about style and making it accessible to all.<br />

<span class="s1">Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great week so far. I just started <a href="https://www.kaylaitsines.com/">Sweat by Kayla Itsines</a>. I’ve seen so many ladies achieve major success by this quick and simple exercise app that I decided to try it out myself. I’m the type of person that gets bored easily with a workout routine. I like to change it up but I also don’t like something too complicated. I signed up for Alexia Clark’s workouts earlier this year and while they are crazy amazing, I found myself having trouble trying to find the space, machinery and time to do them. Sweat workouts are 28 minutes and can be done without machinery. While I’ve gone to the gym to do the workouts, you can easily do them in the comfort of your home. I’m so excited to be working out more often now because it truly puts me in such a better mood. I feel like I start the day on a better foot after working out. </span><br />
<span class="s1"><span class="s1"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span class="s1">Anyway, I wanted to share this adorable striped jumpsuit. It's currently 40% off during LOFT's 4th of July sale happening right now. I’ve been on a jumpsuit kick lately as you can tell and well you can never go wrong with stripes. While I’ll admit that I could’ve gone down a size, I’m hoping by getting a size smaller I can wear this for many years to come! I got major farm girl vibes from this jump suit but in a good way. It almost made me want to grow a garden - almost. But it is seriously one of the comfiest jumpsuits I’ve ever owned and I’m already thinking of all the ways I can dress it up and dress it down.
And the scarf! I’ve always wanted to wear a scarf this way, I just always felt that it was so chic and honestly, it gave me like a little bit more confidence, I’m not even going to lie. The scarf just made me feel put together, ya know? And it has lemons! Come on, how could I not buy it ;)
</span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span class="s1"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span class="s1">Anyway, y’all let me stop blabbering. I hope you all have an amazing Wednesday and stay tuned for some exciting news coming very, very soon!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful weekend. I did! I was at the horse races yesterday and it was so fun! I've also been watching the World Cup non-stop, I couldn't help but watch on my phone while at the horse races. Let's say I'm good at multi-tasking? haha<br />
<br />
I couldn't wait to share this fringe sweater! I've been obsessed with white on white outfits, I think it just looks so fresh for summer. A beautiful tan and an all white outfit - so perfect! This fringe sweater is one of my first pieces from Lou & Grey, you can find them at LOFT and it's such a good mix of texture and simplicity. If that even makes sense. I'm wearing an regular XS and it fits great, even a little oversized. I can't wait to wear this with blue denim and ripped shorts!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your favorite pieces of the summer? Let me know in the comments below. </div>

Happy Wednesday, everyone! The past couple of days have been ones of recovery because I got this horrible flu-like virus that totally left me out of the count. I had been so busy the weeks prior, prepping for blog posts, going to events, shooting for the blog, training for a 5k, spending time with family, friends and Tom - and dealing with an even scarier health situation. I had a found a lump in my neck and after weeks of thinking it would go away, it didn't and after lots of doctor consultation, I went in for a biopsy to make sure it wasn't malignant. Thankfully it wasn't and all of craziness took a toll on my body. When I ended up with a 103 fever last Friday and terrible aches all over my body, I was exhausted. So beyond exhausted. I realized I hadn't had a decent night of sleep in weeks. I had just been - go, go, go! for weeks and my body was trying to tell me to slow down and just stop.<br />
<br />
So I finally stopped and listened to my body. It was telling me to slow it down and I didn't listen until I was forced to listen. I'm taking it easy now and resting when I can. I'm trying not to push myself too hard this month and I'm focusing on spending quality time with my loved ones.<br />
<br />
Sometimes you just have to slow it down. Hope you have an amazing rest of your week!<br />

<br />Happy 1st of June, y'all! I've been saying y'all way too much lately? Is it still a southern thing or can this city girl get away with saying it? Haha! Happy Friday and Happy 1st of June! I can't believe it's basically summer. I hope this month brings you many, happy new beginnings, new challenges to face and new oppportunities to explore. I've been feeling really positive lately and I couldn't help but want to share. As I mentioned in my last post, the month of May ended up being quite a motivational month and I surely did not intend on it being that way, but God always knows what you need. I can't even know how it began but last month ended up being quite a productive month. I wrote the most blogposts in a month than I've ever written, I really pushed myself during workouts, I was reading and listening to a lot of inspirational material and I finished a great book which inspired this very post. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would consider myself a very spiritual person. I've always believed in God, I went to the church and went to catholic school but my beliefs have certainly changed and after some really trying times in my life, I've learned to hold onto my faith tightly. I wanted to share 5 books that I read that helped me on my journey. They helped me remain positive, reassured me when I was anxious, inspired me when I needed it and reminded me that God is always in control and to trust that goodness will always come you way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope I can express how much these books helped me, led me, taught me, and inspired me to pursue my creative desires, to become a better person and to just to kind. </div>

<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/spirit-junkie-gabrielle-bernstein/1101890014?ean=9780307887429#/"><i>Spirit Junkie by Gabrielle Bernstein</i> </a>- I stumbled across this book on the Barnes & Noble website when I was desperate for a pick me up. I had just been dumped, was on a major emotional rollercoaster and at 23 years old I thought I had to have it all figured out. It was a completely random purchase but I believe everything happens for a reason. I ordered it and as soon as it came in the mail I started reading it and simply couldn't put it down. I had major anxiety and reading Gabrielle's experience as a PR publicist and party girl and dealing with all the issues and anxieties she dealt with -- I totally could relate. Her explanations for wanting to change her life and accept the ups and downs of a spiritual journey spoke to me profoundly. I was ready to overcome my fears and worries and this book helped me to do that. I recommend it to everyone I know because it was so helpful for me. </div>

<i><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/secret-rhonda-byrne/1100623085?ean=9781582701707#/">The Secret by Rhonda Byrne</a> </i>- As a child I had always heard of the Law of Attraction and in some ways I practiced it without even knowing but as an adult I had a harder time understanding the concept. A friend of mine lent me her copy and told me to just read it because it helped her, so what did I do? I put it under my bed and completely forgot about it LOL no, but seriously that's what happened. I meant to read it, but here's where the universe stepped in, I didn't end up reading it until I went on vacation about a year and a half later and I ended up needing it right then and there. I couldn't have read it at a better time. The book explains how to attract what you want in your life whether it be love, success, wealth, health, whatever it is, but it teaches you how to welcome exactly what you want into your life. Such a good read! I have a copy of it on my kindle that I reread whenever I'm in the middle of books.</div>

<i><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/manuscript-found-in-accra-paulo-coelho/1113106090?ean=9780345805058#/">Manuscript Found in Accra by Paulo Coelho</a> - </i>The genius author famously known for his book "The Alchemist" also wrote Manuscript Found in Accra -- another book I found by accident, but was it really an accident :). My Dad had purchased this book for my brother who was having some tough teenage years and my brother who was not a big reader finished this book in a day and swore by it. It's about a wise man speaking truths in Jerusalem in the year 1099. Pretty absurd if you ask me but the old wise man spoke about loyalty, fear, love, beauty and elegance amongst many other things. "His words offer truth and guidance, and reveal the human values that have endured throughout time—then as now, his words reveal who we are, what we fear and what we hope for the future."</div>

Dyer</a> - </i>I discovered this book through Dulce Candy the beauty vlogger. She's always so positive and discussed manifesting your desires and shared how much she loved this book. I read it after I read the secret but the message was very similar. The book discusses how to discover your heart's greatest desires and how to practice manifesting them so they can appear in your life. </div>

<i><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/big-magic-elizabeth-gilbert/1121030101?ean=9781594634727#/">Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert</a> - </i>This book is by far one of the best books I've read in a long time! I just finished this book and was inspired to write this book because I felt so great after reading it. Elizabeth Gilbert, famous for writing Eat, Pray, Love is the author behind Big Magic and it's the perfect book for those sweet souls wanting to live a creative life. I felt invincible after reading this book. I was reminded that nothing worth having comes easy and it might just take years and years of practicing your craft until you have that opportunity to shine but it will all be worth it. This is a must read for all you creatives out there! </div>

Happy Wednesday, everyone! We made it halfway through the week. I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far. Personally, I can't wait until this weekend. Tom and I are heading to Philly for the weekend, we're seeing one of our favorite musicians and we're meeting up with some of my college friends. We actually have a pretty busy June but I'm so excited -- the summer is officially here! We're even going to the Firefly Music Festival in Delaware and I think this cute romper is perfect for a whimsical and colorful event like a music festival. I'll probably wear it with flat sandals because I'll be walking a lot. This romper screamed summer and it's under $50! These heels are also so fun and remind me of a pair my grandma had many years ago so I couldn't help but purchase them too. Nostalgic purchases are fair game, right?<br />
<br />
Speaking of being a busy bee, I've been implementing a new quick habit into my daily routine. I discovered this habit after reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and it's so simple that I'm amazed at how much it's helped me. Clearly I've been on a self-help kick lately, especially reading self-help books (I'll be sharing more about that on Friday!) but this little tip has helped tremendously. I'm a procrastinator of the truest form. In college I'd put off writing a paper for weeks and would stay up at late as I could the night before to write it, but I was NOTORIOUS for waking up like 2-3 hours early in the morning before the class to finish it. Nothing like the last minute, huh? How I survived those years was purely a miracle, but anyway, Gretchen's one minute rule has helped me not be as bad of a procrastinator. The one minute rule is simple, you must complete every task that should take you under a minute to complete. Sounds easy, right? And it is! I find that it has helped me be more organized too! Like I'm horrible with putting my credit card back into the slot in my wallet, I know it's so dumb BUT I remind myself of the one minute rule and voila! everything is back to where it's supposed to be.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you've tried the one minute rule or if there are any habits/rules you follow to help life be a little easier!<br />

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Last year I took a long hiatus from the blog; to be honest my heart just wasn't in it anymore - or so I thought! I was in a creative rut and had problems trying to create content to share. Fast forward 1 year and I feel happier about my blog than I have ever felt before. I'll admit there were many times where I felt the need to compare myself to other bloggers and focused on quantity vs. quality. Now I'm less concerned about how many people like my post but more about how you all respond to it. Hopefully, it's in a positive way.<br />
<br />
During my long hiatus I got together with 2 lovely ladies and creative friends of mine Sandra and Melissa to collaborate on a project. My friend Sandra is a bridal photographer, known for her ability to capture the most romantic moments ever! and my friend Melissa is a dress designer, who always knows what's best for her clients. Together we thought of using our talents and collaborating on a bridal shoot. I was the model, Melissa the designer and Sandra the photographer. Can I just how cool is it to get a dress custom made?! It's was so much fun observing the process.<br />
<br />
Melissa and I met initially to discuss ideas. I shared what I liked, what I didn't like and what didn't usually work for my body. I told her I preferred classic and more conservative silhouette's, she suggested her favorite fabrics and little by little the dress came together. One of the best days was going to Mood, commonly known as the fabric store on Project Runway, and Melissa guided me through the isles of silk and chiffon and explained the pros and cons of each fabric. All I could think of was when I finally get married, what fabric would I want to my dress to be made of?! There rows of different kinds of lace, tulle and satin. I never thought I was a girl that liked bling but then we ended up in this corner with jeweled fabrics and they were just stunning!<br />
<br />
After Melissa decided on the fabric, she began making the dress my hand. She measured me multiple times; and after measuring we agreed on what worked with my body and what didn't. We agreed on an A-lined lace dress, a low back and fun straps. From there Melissa worked diligently on the dress; I waited in anticipation for the creation and Sandra began to conceptualize the shoot. Collectively, we agreed on the romantic background of the New York Public Library, and surrounding areas right by Bryant Park.<br />
<br />
The results were beautiful! I say this because it was a labor of love on all accounts. I was thrilled to learn the process and was so excited to be apart of this project. From Melissa's amazing work, creating a beautiful bridal gown, Sandra's love for romanticism and feminine photo shoots, and my excitement to share a custom petite sized dress -- it all came out better than we imagined.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Can't wait to go through this process again in the future when I get married!</div>

Happy Thursday, everyone! As some of you may know that I moved out of my Brooklyn apartment earlier this year and moved back home. After getting rid of a lot of my stuff, I still had to manage to move the contents of my apartment to my old childhood bedroom. Whatever remained ended up in a storage unit. I went to check out that storage unit a few days ago and realized that it was time I got rid of a bunch of clothes, more specially a lot of my summer clothes. I had been holding on to items that I didn't really wear but kept them for sentimental purposes; clothes that I didn't like or just didn't fit. So after clearing out a lot of what I had I realized that I was down to like 2 dress, 3 tops and a pair of shorts which means I have to do some major summer shopping! Here's what's on my Nordstrom wish list currently:<br />

Hahaha one of my favorites quotes from my favorite movie! Any guesses? It's from The Devil Wears Prada! The movie came out when I was 15 years old and I was OBSESSED. I wanted so badly to be Andy (Anne Hathaway's character), and I was convinced I'd be working for a fashion magazine one day. Even if it meant I had to withstand the craziness/abuse that Andy was put through I was willing to do that.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Happy Wednesday! Sorry, I've been a bit MIA the last few days. Things were hectic and business with my mom's birthday and mother's day. Sorry mama comes first! But I'm happy to be back writing another post. Not sure if it's just me but blogging relaxes me. It gives me such comfort and peace to just write my thoughts and feelings here and share them with you all. So things have been a bit hectic lately and I've been creating list on top of list of things I have to get done before the end of the month and is it just me or is May flying by!? January was 75 years long and now it's already middle of May. I don't understand. Someone just stop time, please! Hahah<br />
<br />
I wanted to share this floral maxi today with you all because I just love it so much. I bought it back in February and I'm shocked it's not completely sold out. Maxi dresses can be such a hard find for petites but ASOS has such a great selection of petite items. They are always my go-to when looking for fun and trendy pieces. I found this number for only $60 and can guarantee you I'll be wearing it all the time this summer. When I saw it I just thought "that dress was made for you", I feel like it just screams me! I found some other adorable options for spring/summer and I've linked them below.<br />
<br />
What are your plans for the rest of the week and the weekend? I honestly cannot wait until the Royal Wedding! I'll be up bright and early to watch it!<br />

We made it to Wednesday! Woo hoo! Happy Wednesday, everyone. I hope you're having a great one so far. My goal this week was to stay focus and committed to the things I do this week, whether it be big or small, I think I'm actually doing it. I'm typically a very distracted person and I say this with absolute honestly haha I tend to say yes a lot, to everything and everyone, I pile my plate up with commitments but am not good at prioritizing and getting it all done. My goal this week was to be focused on getting things done and being committed to putting 100% of my efforts into whatever I was doing. I've worked out everyday for the past 4 days and pushed myself in every workout. For me that's huge! Tonight I signed up for a class at Monster Cycle and for those of you who aren't from NYC, it's a spin studio and each class is a rhythm ride so you're riding to the beat of the music. They also project music videos on the wall while you're riding. I like it more because of the music for the most part but it doesn't feel as cheesy at Soulcycle can feel sometimes. I'm a fan of Soulcycle but I love Monster Cycle so much more!! Anyway, Leigh, tonight's instructor just kept telling us if you have a little more in you to keep going, keep going harder. Basically what she meant was if we had the energy to add more weight to our bikes to make the riding heavier. I rarely add weight, I don't really push myself harder than what I'm comfortable with but that little thing she said really resonated with me today. Each time she said it I thought "I can push a little more!" and I did and it felt amazing. I pushed my limits and even if it was just a spinning class, I want to make it my motto. Just push a little more. </div>

<div>
Just push a little more...</div>

<div>
Just push a little more...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just push a little more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And in the honor of pushing the limits, I signed up for another 5k in June! Here's to setting goals and surpassing them!</div>

Hi everyone! We've officially reached my favorite time of year in NYC! We kinda skipped over spring last week and were treated to 90 degree weather. It was so insane. Last Monday it was a cold 50 degrees and by Thursday it was 92! Craziness! Anyway, the spring/summer seasons are my absolute favorite while living in NYC. There's just something about the warm weather that makes the city come even more alive. Tom and I were just talking about how we're so excited for our second summer in the city together. We're already planning to see concerts in Prospect Park, making lists of restaurants to try in Park Slope and waiting to get our pool passes for Sunset Park pool. Can't wait!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Working in the city can be such an experience but how about adding 90 degree weather outside and then it's -20 degrees inside thanks to the air conditioning going at full blast! I don't know about you but it seems like I have to dress for 2 seasons during the warmer weather. I think <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IUTU">this</a> top from Ann Taylor is such a great transitional piece! I have worn it with cream colored dress pants and a pearl necklace for work but paired it with my favorite high-waisted white jeans and wedges for this more casual look. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I'm so obsessed with <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IUT2">these </a>wedges! I wore them over the weekend to my friend's dinner celebration and I lasted all night in them. I have flat feet and sometimes wearing high heels and wedges can be super painful but these wedges were amazing. I was able to standing around and even break it down on the dance floor without any discomfort! I know a lot of bloggers have been raving about them but they really are just <b>THAT</b> good! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, I hope you all have an amazing rest of your week. I'll be continuing the birthday celebrations this week and we'll be celebrating my sweet mama's birthday on Wednesday! Funny story when I was little I used to wish my birthday was in May because I hated that it snowed almost every year on my birthday, which is in February and because my mom's birthday was in May and I always wanted to be just like her. I just always loved the spring time and thought it was the prettiest time of year! You spring babies are all so lucky! Haha</div>

Happy Friday, friends! Woo hoo, we made it to Friday!! Y'all this week was so intense and felt like I was dragging on forever, so I'm so excited that we made it to the weekend. It's rainy day here in NYC but I wanted to share some of my favorite polka dot pieces for the spring because it's supposed to go up to 87 degrees next week! ☺<br />
<br />
You all know that I tend to exclusively shop petite sizes. Shopping for my body type has always been an adventure to say the least, and finding my perfect fit has never been easy, but this little number made the cut. I'm wearing a regular XS and it fits absolutely perfectly! I fell so in love with the color, the cut, the polka dots and the ruffles. It was all my favorites wrapped into one dress. This dress paired with these sunnies gave me such retro vibes. See <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/188377196886897756/">here</a> to see what I mean!<br />
<br />
1. You need <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/HSHp">this</a> polka dot - It's currently 30% (no code needed) and the perfect dress for work or play! It sold out so quickly during their friends and family sale. All sizes are in stock!<br />
<br />
2. Obsessed with <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/HSFj">this</a> crop top. I'd pair this with some high waisted jeans and red heels. So fun for date night.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/HSGS">This</a> darling dress is such a sweet color combo and it reminds me so much of the dress I wore above. Also available in regular sizes!<br />
<br />
4. The cutest <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/HSLf">skirt</a> from J.Crew. Available in both regular & petite sizes! I'd pair this with a denim shirt or a crisp white one and statement earrings.<br />
<br />
5. My favorite spring <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/HSLl">top</a>! I've received so many compliments on this yellow polka dotted top and it's available regular & petite sizes. It's so fun!<br />
<br />

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope everyone's been having a great week so far. It appears that the spring weather is actually hear to stay in NYC and I couldn't be happier. I had such a lovely weekend in the city and the weather was so perfect!<br />
<br />
In today's blog post I wanted to talk about graphic tees and how I'm loving the fact that they've made a comeback. Back in the day I was such a fan of graphic tees, it's literally all I wore. My eighth grade photo is me wearing a graphic tee that said "Royalty" hahaha what was I thinking?! Anyway, I'm glad graphic tees have come back in an adult, more appropriate way and it's all about making a statement! <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Hh1q">This</a> tee has been my favorite for months and I love the statement it makes! I've been so inspired by my girl gang lately and we're truly a force to be reckoned with!<br />
<br />
I paired it with <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Hh0E">this </a>adorable skirt that's perfect for spring and summer and topped it off with this PERFECT jean jacket! Y'all this jean jacket comes in petite, regular and tall and it's the best distressed denim jacket. I purchased a petite medium and it's a little loose but just how I like it. This light wash would go perfectly with white skinny jeans and a cute top. I can't wait to take this with me everywhere this spring & summer and it's under $40!<br />
<br />
Are you all loving graphic tees as much as me? Linking a few more of my favorites down below.<br />

Happy Monday, everyone! Who's ready to start this week off on a good note? I am! I had such a lovely weekend and was thrilled that it finally was over 60 degrees here in NYC! We reached a high of 80 degrees on Friday and I literally couldn't handle my excitement. Y'all seasonal affective disorder is so real and I think everyone in NYC, myself included, had been feeling it these past few rainy/snowy weeks but it finally was warm enough to rid myself of my puffy coat and wear dresses without tights! Hallelujah!<br />
<br />
On Friday night, Tom (my boyfriend) and I had dinner with our good friends Jessie & Abi at AlMar in Dumbo. It's an Italian restaurant right next to the Brooklyn Bridge with a rustic ambiance, family style seating and unbelievable food. From the Bruschetta appetizers that we tried to our pasta and the tiramisu for the dessert, it's was incredible. Totally recommend!<br />
<br />
On Saturday, the weather was just as amazing as Friday and I ended up in Dumbo again haha with my sweet friend Kristin, who some of you might know from The Petite Pear Project. Her and I became friends over 2 years ago when we were both blogging and living in Brooklyn. We followed each other on Instagram and she emailed me one day asking if I wanted to grab coffee and since then we've been friends! She recently discovered that she enjoyed being behind the camera instead of in front of it, and has started shooting other bloggers. If you're in the city looking for a photographer find her info here, Kris Lee Photography. We had some fun shoot and ended up eating our favorite for brunch: Mexican food :)<br />
<br />
And yesterday I was invited to preview Loft's Friends & Family Sale and guys, there's so much good stuff. Marcy from <a href="http://luxeandlouche.com/">Luxe and Louche</a> and I were invited to help style customers for a social media event at Loft Flatiron in NYC. Thankfully the rain held off so that everyone could stop by and shop while sipping on some prosecco. I felt like I was back in my retail days helping out customers, styling pieces, it was so much fun!! I could help but find some pieces for myself and here are my must haves from the sale! I believe it's later this week, so make sure to have these pieces in your cart! Check them out below.<br />
