I have a serious love for vintage clothing (obviously!) and this jacket is one of my favorite pieces. It was made in Italy by a company called Sintonia and I wore it to work yesterday because even though its summer, it was (and still is) a little cold and rainy here on Long Island. I paired it with a white Diane von Furstenberg top, gold jewelry, vintage glasses and scarf and a pair of blue Express jeans.

Every year around my birthday, I do a detox for a few weeks. Last year I did it for 8 weeks (4 weeks before and 4 weeks after my bday) and lost 20 pounds. I usually do it because I have a tendency to eat and drink alot without thinking and this is a way for me to start watching what I put in my body and get back on a healthy track. I don't consider this a diet by any means. I pretty much eat whatever I want except the following:

*Coffee
*Alcohol
*Sugar
*Junk Food

So today is day 1 (my birthday is July 25th btw) and I am going to try to keep a daily journal like I did last year. It's weird because it seems so much more difficult to do it this year. Last year the main reason why I did it was to lose those 20 pounds. I was in panic mode when I saw that I had gain so much weight (in my opinion) and was scared to gain even another pound. This year I manage to keep off 15 of those 20 pounds so im not really feeling pressure to do it. I am doing it though because I have been eating out alot lately and have been drinking way too much coffee and wine(love my wine lol). I hope to rid my body of all of that junk and only drink water and eat in moderation...at least for these 30 days. I will also be cooking everyday and bring my own lunch to work instead of ordering out. I am excited to get started but also a little apprehensive. The hardest thing to do is to keep motivated especially when you are already at your goal weight but I'm going to take it one day at a time. I did it before for 8 weeks so 4 weeks should be a breeze...I hope! I'll be keeping you all posted :-)

My sister Olivia graduated this past monday from Northern Parkway Elementary School and I was so excited to be there. She will be attending Lawrence Road JR. High in September. They grow up so fast *sigh*.

Good Times!

This is what I wore today while hanging out with my family at my mom's house. I've been really getting into these Vintage skirts lately and especially adore the ones from the 50's and 60's. I'm also on the look-out for a great petticoat to wear underneath so I can get more of a Rockabilly vibe.

I was at CVS (like always!) a few days ago and I picked up a Rimmel Glam’Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara because it was on sale from $7.49 to $2.50. I figured since I am always on the hunt for a great mascara, I might as well give it a try and you know what? I'm really impressed.

What I really like about this mascara the most is the wand. Its more like a comb that keeps your lashes separated and clump free. Rimmel boasts that this mascara will make your lashes 80% longer. Well, Im not so sure about that but it definitely lengthens mine and add some volume. It's also very buildable so you can keep adding coats upon coats to get the desired effect without worrying about your lashes looking a mess.

All in all I would recommend this product and I would definitely purchase it again (especially if its on sale!)

I wore this to work yesterday. I bought this skirt a few years ago at Macys for my trip to the Gambia (a modeling job I had in Africa) and I've rarely worn it since. I just pulled it out from the back of my closet and paired it with a Gap tank, threw on a belt and some comfy heels and called it a day.
