DIY Camo x Leather
When boredom strikes I grab my sewing machine and create. So I chopped and screwed my vintage Camo jacket and added some leather sleeves. What do you guys think?

Maybelline Colorshow Nail Wrap
It's New Years Eve and I'm just getting off work at 4pm. I work smack dead in the middle of the madness that is Times Square. My nails look like shit and the thought of sitting in a nail salon for 2 to 3 hours on New Years Eve makes me cringe. So I decided I was going to try out one of the nail wraps from the drug store. Originally I knew I was going to get the
Sally Hensen Nail Polish Strips and the only thing that got in the way of purchasing them was the price tag. $10.00. Now I'm a beauty junkie but there are certain price points in my mind for every product. Sorry to say I was not spending $10.00 for nail wraps that could be potentially worse then a 2 day manicure. (Insert NYE resolution to save more and spend less) Just as I turn to walk out to the end of the aisle there was a display for these Maybelline Colorshow Nail Wraps. And the price tag $7.99! Picked out this funky orange print and went home to get ready. They are super easy to put on very clear instructions and you get 18 wraps just in case you make a honey boo boo child. Also included was a nail file and cuticle pusher thingie. Best 7.99 I've ever spent. Day 2 and a half and they are still on no chips or smudges. I've washed dishes, re installed my weave and tackled laundry. These are a great buy and I'm a big advocate of fuss-free beauty products. Great Job Maybelline!

Fitting Room Chronicles
Working 2 blocks away from Times Square has increased my visits to Forever 21. I can pop in on my lunch break or after work it's so convenient and so bad for me at the same time. I was feeling silly in these pics so don't judge me. Just wanted to show how I paired up some outfits. Happy Holidays love muffins! Love Dee-Dee

Who doesn't love a sale?
I scored these bell-bottom jeans for $17.00. From where? Old Navy! Yes Old Navy is stepping their game up. Sometimes they have hits and misses but I have been finding some great pieces these days. So I was channeling my inner Rachel Zoe and I paired these with my Steve Madden Wedges, Sheer Shirt and a Eye-Catching Necklace. (And yes it's another Bathroom Work Pic, lol!)

Weight-Loss Journey
I will be documenting my weight loss journey here on my blog. My goal is to get down to about 180. I'm about 20lbs down already, but the hardest part is keeping up with the routine. It's hard. Everyday is a struggle but I'm on my way to a better, healthier ME!

Beautiful Eyes...

Leather Sleeves
I'm obsessed with any coat that has leather sleeves.
Inspired by the Burberry Leather Sleeve Trench Coat (which retails for $1,995)
I paired an Old Navy Trench Vest (yes Old Navy!) with my Forever 21 Leather Jacket. Cheap for Chic!

Winter Colors continued...
I fell in love with this salmon blazer at Fashion To Figure so much that I purchased two. The color is just perfect to pop any outfit. I have been wearing it with everything and it has become my favorite winter purchase. My next purchases will consist of an amazing NYE dress and some amazing shoes. I've never really partied for New Years so this will be my first year going all out. It's also one of my best friends birthday so it's gonna be MAJOR!

Winter Colors
I'm a big fan of black, especially in the winter. All black everything. This season I'm trying things a little different. I plan on infusing a bright color with every outfit. I'm loving the ponchos, bright colors, color blocking etc.. This is the season to experiment.
Beauty Tips
With a sea of beauty products for every beauty dilemma try some of these crazy but useful tips before breaking in the bank..
1) Scent Strands with Perfume
Spray a light shot of fragrance into the bristles of your brush. Run it through strands from roots to ends and your hair will smell amazing throughout the day.
2) Cure Calluses with Vaseline
Slather on the petroleum jelly, and put on socks before bed to dissolve tough calluses overnight. Also, try a foot buffer right after you bathe to scrub off dead skin.
3) Soothe Dry Skin with Avocado
Take a ripe avocado, remove the pit and skin, and mash it up in a bowl. Put it all over your body are your super dry spots, let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse off. Avocado is a natural moisturizer and will leave your skin hydrated and baby soft.
4) Add Vitamin E Oil To Your Fragrant Lotions
Fragrant lotions aren’t the best for moisturizing skin, add a drop are two of Vitamin E oil into your lotion for extra luster and great smell. Vitamin E Oil can be found at most major health food and grocery stores.
5) Toothpaste on a pimples
Put a pea-size amount of toothpaste on the pimple. Let sit for 15 minutes to absorb the oil, then wash off.
6) Hot Curl Your Lashes
If you have un-tameable lashes, try curling them into place with your metal eyelash curler and hair dryer. Warm your lash curler with the hair dryer for a few seconds to heat and curl lashes like normal.
7) Exfoliate Your Underarms
For dark arm pits and dry flaky skin an easy trick is to exfoliate them with a gentle face scrub to keep that skin fresh looking.
8) Shave with Conditioner
Conditioner softens the hair so it’s easier to shave off and makes legs and armpits silky and soft.
9) Incredible Egg-White Mask
To put life back into tired, dull skin without hitting the spa , crack open an egg in a bowl, separate the yolk, and use the egg whites to make a face mask. The proteins help to heal and restore skin’s moisture. Leave it on for five minutes, and rinse off.

Solange Braids and The Red Lip
I love Solange point blank period! Her style is ahhmazing! She inspired me to try these waist length braids. Aka the Justice Braids (Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice). I had to try these. So I paired it with a bare face and a red lip. What do you ladies think?

Happy Novem-BURR
Checking in! I know I've been a very bad blogger. I've recently changed jobs so I'm just getting in the swing of the work schedule. I'm so loving Bow Ties right now. I've been wearing them with EVERYTHING!
Also I've been trying to build my portfolio as a stylist. So I have been working on TFP shoots. I'm excited to see where it will take me. I always like challenging myself. Check out this Baby Stroller carved from a Watermelon I did for a friend's baby shower. Tell me what you think! - ♥Dee
