I love the times when you can wear the simplest of outfits but your handbag just makes it pop!

As Christmas gets closer ( 5 days away), I've become increasingly in the holiday spirit.  I was in the city yesterday for my first spa appointment (which was amazing) as well as taking in the sights.  I came across a few pretty and interestingly funny displays.  I also picked up a few holiday inspired things that made me smile and anxiously awaiting the 25th.

{Hershey's peppermint , white chocolate "Kiss" with bits of peppermint inside}

{Limited edition candy-cane inspired nail strips}

I always say I rarely take advantage of the sights of the city like I should.  The weather yesterday was a bit hot and cold.  I never understood how evening temperatures can be warmer than the day.  My solution was this cropped, suede jacket.  I bought it with my first paycheck when I was 19 and was very excited that it still fits!  While I usually don't venture out of the house on Sundays, it was a nice touch to have dinner by the water.  Here are a few shots by the South Street Seaport.

First time I ever came across this photo of these two.  Just love how natural they look here.  I watched the Billboard awards and the shout out she gave to him upon accepting her Millenium Award was just as fitting as this photo:

"I love me some Jay-Z"

Major for a couple that's ridiculously private.

This was first time I saw Trey Songz perform at a club in the Bronx.  Even then he had that #swag that had the ladies going crazy.

The three things we (women) can't live without: cake, sex and fashion... Haha

I haven't been on a vacation in about a year.  These images from around the world is making me thinking I need to start planning something real soon.  Can't be all work and no play...

With all the hustle and bustle in our daily routines, sometime its hard to stop and think about the little things.  The things that make us happy, keep us inspired and looking forward each day to achieving that goal...

What inspires you?

Mossimo Coat, Thrifted Dress, OC Shades, Avon Earrings, Asos Faux Croc Tote, Nine West Sandals, H&M Belt

At one time I would've never mixed two bright colors at once.  It just seemed liked color overboard.  With Saturday's amazing temps and my embracing the brights, led me to put together this ensemble.  I've had an obsession with baby pink (as seen here).  I couldn't think of any other way to make fuchsia stand out other than pairing it with purple accents.  There was a thrift store that recently opened in my neighborhood so my afternoon was spent picking up a few nick knacks.
