What do I love about Winter? Besides, the holiday drinks from my favorite cafes. It's dressing up for the cold weather. The first thing I went shopping for was a great coat. One that I could layer under and was long in length. What caught my eye was Columbia's Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket. I bought my coat in black and I absolutely love it. Its water resistant and comes with Omni-Heat, which keeps you warm in super cold weather. 

Yesterday was the perfect day to wear my coat with light layers. I paired it with a chambray shirt and distressed jeans all from Old Navy. I've been waiting to wear this jeans and boy, was I happy! The distressed details is so cute and I love the way these jeans fit. 

Body care and skin care is important to me. I'm always on the hunt for products that hydrate, moisturize, and soothe my skin. Crabtree & Evelyn's Hand Delight Therapy Trio is gift to myself this holiday season. Why?Well, what's perfect about each hand cream is the scent and size. Each is infused with a different scent like cucumber and seaweed. They also contain extracts that give your hands the moisture it needs while smelling beautiful. Since I get dry skin during the winter, this hand therapy set is exactly what I need to keep my skin refreshed. I love it already!

It's the perfect time of the year. The weather is changing and the holidays are fast approaching. One of my favorite accessories to wear are sweaters. I love, love sweaters! This cozy sweater is one to love and more. It's so warm and in a darling mocha color that reminds me of coffee. Lol! I'm always thinking about coffee and having an espresso. That's the best combination, cozy sweaters and coffee. My fall uniform consist of that and these cute leopard flats from H &M. It will be on repeat and I can't wait to add more layers. 

I'm obsessed with Colourpop's matte lipsticks. The one I'm loving now is their matte lipstick in Rooch. This color is bold and long wearing on my lips. As soon as I put it on I feel like a bombshell. Rightfully so, every woman should feel like one. I matched my ultra matte lips with this cute plaid shirt in maroon. The color is everything! It's definitely one of my favorite shades for fall.  

It's Fall. 

I'm so happy to finally say that. It feels like forever just waiting for the season to change. Now all I need are clothes for Fall. Luckily, I went shopping and picked up a few pieces to add too my wardrobe.    This striped classic shirt from Old Navy is one of them and I paired it with my H & M clutch. The material is so soft. I got it in XL for extra comfort. This is how my Fall with be. Filled with stripes and lots of color. 

Why?
Let's be honest, stripes never go out of style. I live in stripes! So that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Friday was my 30th birthday! The big "30", and I celebrated in style. All I wanted was to spend it with close family and friends doing what I love. Eating great food with drinks galore and deep conversations. I got that and so much more. It was the best birthday yet and I feel so blessed. What many people don't know about me is that I'm a planner. 

To celebrate my 30th, I had brunch at Maman Tribeca, one of my favorite cafes. The french style decor makes this spot super cozy and the food is amazing. Brunch kicked off with a delicious assortment of pastries that were sweet and savory. Yum! I also ordered the "oeuf a la coque", with toasted homemade breads and spreads. It's not what I normally go for but I wanted to try something new. It peaked my interests with the spreads, which happened to be the best part. 

I feel grateful to celebrate my birthday at Maman and share the kinds of foods I love with those around me. Brunch was exactly how I imagined and more. My cake turned out perfect and the decorations warmed my heart. I'm so excited for my 30s and what opportunities I will encounter going forward. This is my decade to celebrate life and simply live for me.
