One of the big trends in watches right now is the wood watch. Wooden watches have a reason to popular; they are lightweight, functional, and have a fresh look regular metal just cannot achieve. Love that!

I was thrilled when Jord Watches reached out to collaborate on a review. Some of my friends have Jord Watches and I have been eyeing them. I love the wood finish, the natural composition, and the fabulous look of a wooden watch. Jord really does a great job finishing the wood, styling the watch, and incorporating beautiful watch faces into the wood. LOVE!!!

My watch is the Zebrawood and Champagne watch from the Frankie collection. I love this collection! The Frankie has a larger watch face, which is the hot trend in women’s watches right now; and they have a sleek yet natural design. The Zebrawood has beautiful grains, and I love the medium to dark hue of the wood. The champagne watch face blends perfectly with the Zebrawood creating a rich looking, unique watch. I am obsessed!

In addition to a beautiful watch, Jord also offers personalization. This makes Jord Watches a great gift idea for special events, birthdays, holidays, Mother’s Day, and something from the men’s collection for Father’s Day.

Of course Jord Watches aren’t just pretty arm decorations, they keep time; fabulous time! I have been watching my Jord Watch against my iPhone clock and it stays true. It is always nice when you don’t have to adjust your watch periodically!

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair skin care collection review

estee lauder night repair skin care review

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair collection c/o Estee Lauder from left: Advanced Night Repair mask / Advanced Eye Repair eye mask / Advanced Night Repair eye / Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II / Advanced Night Micro-Cleansing Balm / Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam / Advanced Night Repair Intense Recovery Ampoules

Estee Lauder skin care is something I grew up with. As a small child, I have fond memories of my Mother bringing me to the Estee Lauder counter to purchase cosmetics and skin care. It was always her favorite beauty brand; and decades later, it still is! When I opened the box containing the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair collection, she gasped and asked if she could have it. Sorry Mom, this collection is for me!

I am an extremely busy Mother of three energetic, and involved children. My kids play music, sports and are active in scouting. In addition to managing my children’s schedules and activities, I have my own work and activities to manage. It can be a bit much. The activities and overall stress I face each day take a huge toll on my skin. We really do wear our stress on our faces. When Estee Lauder sent me their fabulous Advanced Night Repair skin care system, I was extremely thrilled. This is exactly what my stressed-out face needs!

There are several amazing products in the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair skin care collection. Each product works in it’s own special way to cleanse, and repair skin while we sleep. The Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam is ideal to use on a nightly basis to wash off makeup, and all the pollution, and dirt our skin captures during the day. I love how soft and clean my skin is after using it.

The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro-Cleansing Balm is also a fabulous way to clean skin at night. I have been using it when I wear foundation, or feel like I need a little extra cleansing that night. Both cleansers are perfect for everyday use, the difference I noticed was in the consistency. I tend to prefer a foam cleanser, which is why I have found myself reaching for the foam nightly, but if you prefer a silkier consistency in your cleanser, then the balm will be your go-to nighttime cleanser from the collection.

After cleaning my skin, I have been using the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair eye and the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II on my skin nightly. These two products have really made a difference in brightening up my skin and overall complexion. Love!

When it comes to masks, I don’t have a lot of time, so I have used the masks once every other week. They do a fabulous job of refining my skin and smoothing it out.  I have been using the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Intense Recovery Ampoules twice per week, and have enjoyed excellent results.

I have been using the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair skin care system for one month now, and I have noticed a huge difference in my overall skin tone. My skin is cleaner, more clear, softer, and fresher. The stress I feel is no longer showing in my skin. Love that!

The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair skin care system is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend integrating these products into your night skin care routine. You can find the collection online here.

Bridge & Boro denim at New York Fashion Week

Wearing: ivory tassel earrings / Chanel spring lipstick / pink and silver jacket (under $200!) / denim short c/o Bridge & Boro / Alexander McQueen scarf / black tee (old, also love this one) / jeans c/o Bridge & Boro / Gucci belt / Givenchy handbag / Kendra Scott ring / Chanel spring nail polish / black socks / silver velcro street sneakers

On day three of New York Fashion Week, I went for a NY street style look. So many NYFW attendees wear denim; it is fun to see how they make it fabulous! I decided it was my turn to wear denim, and amp up my casual style into something street style worthy. I could not have done it without these fabulous denim pieces from New York denim brand Bridge & Boro.

Bridge & Boro makes the most fabulous denim pieces! They have limited edition pieces made from scarce denim fabric, as well as standard pieces in their collection with a timeless quality. The company is family owned and run; and the collection is made in New York!

It is extremely difficult to fit my body into jeans. I have always had a waist size much smaller than my hips and thighs. This is a problem many women have; let’s face it, we are hourglass for a reason! The majority of denim companies out there make their jeans for men, and then size them down for women without re-working them to actually fit a woman’s body. Bridge & Boro just fits. The jeans are made for women. The result is a flattering fit which will look amazing on most women. Love that!

In addition to a women’s denim collection, Bridge & Boro offers denim for men; which is just as fabulous as the women’s collection. Love! I definitely need to get a pair for my hubby!

Denim on denim is a huge trend this year. Although it has been going strong for the past couple of years, denim is bigger than life for spring 2017. Designers are showing it on everything from clothing to accessories. This is the perfect season to rock the denim on denim trend; and invest in some fabulous denim pieces!  For your perfect denim this spring, check out Bridge & Boro at bridgenboro.com.

It was fun wearing this outfit on day three of fashion week. I was snapped by several street style photographers outside the show. Here is a fun photo by fabulous street style photographer Denton Taylor:

Denton Taylor snapped this picture outside The Skylight Clarkson when I was on my way to my first show of the day; Asia Fashion Collection by Vantan. In addition to Asia Fashion Collection, on day three I went to Taoray Wang, Romeo Hunte, Yuna Yang, CG by Chris Gelinas, A Detacher, Georgine, and Francesca Liberatore. In addition to shows, I attended a fun blogger brunch hosted by Twiirly and Amour Vert. You can read about it here.

I am looking forward to wearing this denim on denim look by Bridge & Boro often this upcoming spring season; minus the jacket and scarf. It will look cute with slides, or high heel sandals. The pieces will also look fabulous worn with other items from my closet. They are so versatile and fabulous! Love!
