The following pieces are great statement pieces that would add trendiness and fun to anyone's wardrobe. Paired with neutrals, they transform the everyday outfit into an outfit with personality. Below are some of my favorites that I would love to wear either to work, out to dinner, or both!

Tuesday's Ten: A Pop of Royal

No, I am not talking about the royal baby. 

Instead, I am referring to the absolutely gorgeous and absolutely perfect Fall color: ROYAL BLUE. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Summer is over and it's Fall! Royal blue is perfect for the Fall and Winter months. Adding a pop of royal blue makes you look instantly polished and incredibly fashionable. I wear royal blue all the time and I think it is so flattering and eye-catching. Below are some ways to incorporate the gorgeous royal blue color into your wardrobe!

1. 

House of Harlow - $75

I wear this necklace all the time and it goes a LONG way. It goes with everything and adds that subtle pop of color that every outfit needs.

2.

7 For all Mankind - $198

3. 

Giuseppe Zanotti - $750

So this may not be the most affordable shoe, but can we at least DROOL over it? I am definitely coveting these. They are sooo gorgeous!

4.

Free People - $128

5.

Liberty London - $275

This is such a classic scarf! It is beautiful and perfect for the colder months.

6.

Ash - $235

Sneaker wedges are SO in. I got a pair last month and I cannot wait to wear them all Fall and Winter with skinny jeans and leggings. These would look incredible with some black leggings and a black leather jacket.

7.

Karen Millen - $70

8.

Vince Camuto - $189

9.

The Cambridge Satchel Company - $185

This bag is perfect for a Saturday shopping and errands day! It is versatile, practical, and also insanely cute!

This is by far my favorite nail polish color. I love it on my finger nails but you can absolutely always find it on my toe nails! It's the perfect pop of color.

Do YOU love royal blue as much as I do? How do YOU incorporate it into your oufits?

Bootiful Booties

Booties! Booties! Booties!

I am totally obsessed with booties for the fall season. They look great with just about anything. They're also in stores EVERYWHERE, come in just about every style, color, and heel height, and can be purchased at any price!

Check out some of my favorite booties below.

Rachael Zoe - $455

Stuart Weitzman - $550

Lucky Brand - $129

10 Crosby Derek Lam - $395

Kate Spade - $398

Jeffrey Campbell - $220

These booties are my absolute favorite. I think they would look incredible with either a flowy dress and blazer on cooler days or skinny jeans and a loose tee. I definitely need to get my hands on this pair!

Sam Edelman - $160

Tuesday's Ten: Totally Totes

Aloha! Ciao! Bonjour! 

I know, I know...it's been awhile, but I was commuting with the masses to work in NYC so it was really difficult finding good blogging time. My internship is over now and school is fast approaching so I am hoping I'll have some more free time. That being said, WHERE has the summer gone? Seriously, I feel like it was just yesterday I was packing up my Miami apartment and flying home to New York for the summer.

Well, given that it's almost time to start school again, what better topic to blog about than school essentials? Ahhh tote bags. Gotta love them. I retired the backpack to rock the tote in about 8th grade. Surely, it's taken many forms-- from the Ed Hardy phase tote to the Betsey Johnson crazy graphic tote to my more recent and more classic Louis Vuitton tote, I can definitely say that tote bags are an absolute necessity for the school year.

Below are some great tote bags that would make any outfit!

Loeffler Randall - $695

For the Northeast/seasonal college-goer, this is such a great tote! It's different, sophisticated, but fun!

Pour La Victoire - $345

This tote would definitely brighten up anyones day before taking a test.

IIIBeCa by Joy Gryson Tote - $178

I love the shape and detailing of this tote. The neon yellow stitching makes it that much cuter.

Louis Vuitton - $940

I purchased this tote before I entered my sophomore year of college and I can certainly say it was one of the best purchases I have made. I use this tote every single day to carry books but I also used it all summer to carry my belongings to work every day! I've used this tote on overnights and even just to run errands. I have the largest size of the three different sizes and think it is just perfect for daily use.

Kooba - $398

This beachy tote is adorable for books!

Foley & Corinna - $395

I would most definitely wear this tote. I think it is absolutely perfect for books but equally as great for running around! Most of all...this edgy bag can be worn in about 5 different ways, making it so versatile and worth every penny!

Rebecca Minkoff - $295

This bag is so timeless and attractive. I love the shape and the quality. It also comes in a ton of colors!

Diane von Furstenberg - $525

For a more purse-like tote, this is great!

Marc by Marc Jacobs - $198

I have this tote in black and have to say that it's not only adorable, but also so light and easy to carry around! It is a perfect size and shape.

Alexander Wang - $975

I've had my eye on this bag for a long time. I think the shape is absolutely gorgeous and the little touch of metal on the bottom makes it so timeless and unique- it comes with gold, silver, AND rose gold hardware.

What do YOU think? What tote would YOU use?

Tuesday's Ten: Simple Work Staples

It is certainly a challenge waking up every morning at the crack of dawn and knowing that you have to put together a fun yet different outfit for work in order to feel confident all day. When you have some unique statement pieces, it makes it a lot easier!

Below are some of the neutral statement pieces I own that I am always drawn to in the morning. Simple and classic pieces like these make it easy to mix, match, and create endless outfits.

Aqua - $98

I love this dress because the silhouette is so flattering, the color is so summery and vibrant, and it's easy to dress up or down. I wore this dress casually with simple black sandals and a ton of jewelry, but it would look equally as gorgeous under a neutral blazer.

House of Harlow - $100

The length of this necklace is great and it looks perfect with just about anything. I have it in silver and I wear it all the time!

Helmut Lang - $620

This blazer is absolutely stunning. The sleeves are such a unique silk pattern which appears again on the back. All you need is a pair of pants and a simple tee and you're set, looking insanely put together.

Vince -  $192

These pants are so awesome. How often do you find a pair of work appropriate pants that are not only flattering and unique, but also comfortable?! I absolutely love these pants. I wear a simple tee tucked into them with a long necklace.

Topshop - $30

This is a total statement necklace. Given that it has both silver and gold, it matches everything and looks so edgy and chic.

Splendid - $88

This skirt is such a must have. I wear it on days where I want to feel comfortable yet look polished and fashionable. I tuck in a white tee and layer on the jewelry and my outfit is complete.

Sam Edelman - $80

These simple sandals are great for every day because they're comfortable, easy to just throw on, and match everything!

True Religion - $167

I absolutely love these plain black jeggings. I wear them with everything because they're so simple and SO comfortable!

Helmut Lang - $95

These asymmetrical Helmut Lang shirts are great because they give the average tee shirt a little fun.

DV Dolce Vita - $89

These are the most comfortable wedges I have ever put on. I am most definitely the worst heel-walker of all time...so if I say these wedges are insanely comfortable, TRUST ME. They're a must have!

Tuesday's Ten: Holy Grail Makeup Products

Happy Tuesday! I decided to switch it up a bit for today's Tuesday's Ten.

We all have THOSE special products we just can't live without. Being makeup obsessed myself, I often find myself fixated on new makeup products and trends. But those that stand the test of time are the real winners, and therefore maintain their position in my makeup collection. These holy grail products are truly incredible, so I decided it was about time to share them with all of you!

1. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer 

MAC - $18

This product is by far my most incredible makeup find...probably of all time. Just one dab of this concealer covers all blemishes, dark spots, and under eye circles. I apply this concealer with a small concealer brush and it not only makes my complexion look perfectly even, but it lasts all day! It comes in almost every shade and I STRONGLY recommend trying it out.

2. Urban Decay Setting Spray

Urban Decay - $29

This is a miracle product. I use it every single day to set my makeup. After all of your face makeup is applied, just spray this gentle mist on your face (it feels like water spray and dries within seconds), and your makeup will last HOURS longer. This product actually does what it says it does, and it has transformed my makeup regimen. 

3. The Rocket Mascara

 Maybelline - $5.99

I'm a big fan of Maybelline mascaras because they're not only great, but they're also inexpensive. This mascara received a lot of hype when it came out earlier this year, but I can certainly say it was all for good reason. This mascara defines the lashes (without creating any clumps) while giving them volume and making them look incredibly long. I use the regular version, but it comes in waterproof as well! 

4. Chanel Stylo Yeux Eyeliner

Chanel - $30

As you could probably tell, I'm obsessed with eyeliner. I have tried a TON of brands (Lancome, MAC, Nars, etc.) but Chanel beats them all BY FAR. I wear Noir Intense, which is the blackest black, and it goes on so insanely smoothly while lasting all day long. This eyeliner makes it too easy. I am crazy obsessed.

5. Nars Laguna Bronzer

NARS - $36

While I have veered slightly away from bronzer and started to wear a soft pink blush instead (Warm Soul by MAC--another must have), this bronzer is definitely the way to go for a natural, subtle, tanned look.

 6. Lorac Pro Eyeshadow Palette 

Lorac - $42

This is my go-to palette. The top row consists of eight matte shades while the bottom row is all shimmery. You can do a complete eye look with just this one palette. I use the color "espresso" for my eyebrows, "white" for my inner corners to give a bright and awake look, and "nude" for an everyday effortless glow. When I go on vacation, this palette is all I need to bring. Lorac products in general are gorgeous and of amazing quality, and this palette is a necessity.

7. Revlon Lip Butter

Revlon - $6.99

I am obsessed with this line of lip products (available at the drugstore!). They're perfect for daily use because there is a large assortment of gorgeous colors that aren't too crazy and saturated and they are super moisturizing. It's like a chapstick-lipstick 2-in-1 and it's all you need to carry in your purse. I have a bunch of colors and they are definitely the lip product I gravitate toward most.

8. Mac Studio Fix Foundation

MAC - $27

When I got my makeup done at the MAC counter for my first time, I became instantly hooked on this foundation. This is one of my newest holy grail products. All you need is the tiniest amount of this foundation and your skin will literally look flawless for the entire day. It's light while offering great coverage and it even has SPF!

9. Eyebrow Lipocils Gel

Eyebrow Lipocils - $42

This brow gel is awesome because it truly makes your brows stay in place all day. Whether you fill them in or not, this gel is all you need to finish your flawless face look.

 10. Smashbox Primer

Smashbox - $36

I don't wear this primer everyday because I instead set my makeup with Urban Decay all nighter (#2 holy grail product), but on nights where I want to be absolutely certain that my makeup will not budge, this light primer does the trick. Smashbox has a ton of noteworthy primers, but this one is oil-free and doesn't clog your pores. It does the trick while remaining light on your face.

What are YOUR holy grail products? Do YOU use any of these products?
