totes save me.

As a new mama I knew going into this adventure I was going to need all baby things galore. One thing that was on my "new mom" list was a baby bag. With me being picky and undecisive with all the options out there, I came across one of the best things ever... ToteSavvy.

For all you mamas out there it is amazing!! You can turn any of your bags into a baby bag. I love that concept! The tote savvy design allows you to carry everything like diapers, wipes, change of clothes, bottles, etc. (It also comes with a changing mat so you don't need to pack one). It comes in two different sizes and a variety of colors. Since I carry big bags all the time I purchased the regular size instead of the mini. It's a perfect way to stay organized and fashionable at the same time. Check them out here.

Hope you all enjoy!

new chapter.

Hi everyone! Well well.. it has been years since I have been on this thing. A lot has happened since then. Over the past three years I got married, bought a new home and had a baby!

After thinking about it for months, I've decided to start back up and share my life as a new mama and continue to share inspirations with fashion and my favorite pieces.

I laughed as I logged on here and saw that my last post was "mommy monday". How fitting! For as long as I can remember, I've always dreamt of being a mom. On July 19, 2017 our biggest blessing arrived in this world. Say hello to Adrianna Isabelle!

Join me on this adventure and follow all of our "brownie points" and favorites. For now check out mine and Adrianna's newest obsession...BOWS. I have so much fun dressing her up and thankful she let's me. I recently came across this company called babyblingbows on instagram. It's a company that was created by a mother and daughter team. They have expanded over the years and continue to hand make their bows in the US. We just received our order yesterday and let me tell you, WE LOVE THEM. They are super soft and comfortable (Adrianna tested it out and approved ;) I'll post a picture of her wearing one soon! It's nice because some bows out there are either too big or too small and leave marks but these are the perfect fit. I can't wait to order more for Adrianna.

That's all for now! Thank you for stopping by and we hope that you enjoy our favorites. Feel free to leave us ideas of what you would like to see in some posts. Have a fabulous Monday!

Hi Dolls! Happy Monday! Hope you all are staying warm and having a good start to your week so far. I haven't done a "Mommy Monday" post in quite some time so I thought I would share some favorite picks for all you super moms out there! I know a lot of fashionable mamas out there so I thought these picks might catch your eye. These pieces are super easy to find and the best part... you can be comfortable! I am obsessed with the Kate Spade New York Serena Sneakers! It can be worn with jeans and even look amazing with a dress (like this one). If you want to transition from day to night, switch the shoes and go for a heel and switch from tote bag to clutch. Super easy! 

Hope you all enjoy today's picks. Feel free to leave me some ideas on what to post on or what you would like to see on brownie points! Thanks for stopping by :)

Hi dolls! So sorry it has been awhile. I haven't posted anything on brownie points since the summer! I've been wrapped up in wedding mode but no worries... I promise to start posting random things here and there on the blog! For now.. enjoy some of my date night picks. As most of you know I love any wardrobe pieces in black! I usually enjoy mix and matching a flirty/girly look with edgy pieces to shake it up a bit.  Maybe my next "date night" post will have some color pieces in there...

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to leave any comments on what my next post should be about or what you all would like to see!

Need some fun accessories for your casual look this summer? I found the perfect ones! You can never go wrong with a pop of animal print and a pop of fun color.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi dolls! Hope you all are having an amazing Sunday so far! I had to share my new summer goodies I recently got. For those of you who are a little nervous about mixing brown and black... don't be and just DO IT! I love this new Kate Spade Coreen skirt with the white, brown, and black color blocking. You can honestly wear anything with it... For now I dressed it with a simple black shirt and statement necklace. Perfect brownie attire! (Even though I feel like a cupcake wearing it ;) Thanks for stopping by and would love to hear from you all!

livin in color

I LOVE this dress I recently got! This style and color combination is totally out of my comfort zone! (For those who know me well, it's rare to ever see me in colors other than blacks and neutrals). My favorite part about this dress are the pockets and fit. It's such a classic yet fun style. To add a different feel, you can add a gold or white belt! Hope you all love it as much as I do! Thanks for stopping by :)

simple sunday

get the look: chambray shirt (crew), jeans (kate spade), heels (kate spade), handbag (kate spade similar here), necklace (charming charlie similar here)

Do you ever feel lazy to get dressed in the morning? Do you just lay in bed staring at the ceiling wondering what to wear? That was me today! I sat and thought about what I had in my closet that was easy to throw together. I have always been so nervous to mix denim on denim but ended up loving this chambray and dark denim look. To add a little bit of "life" to my all denim outfit I added a cream statement necklace and a floral print pump. To me nothing screams sexy and classy more than a pointy toe pump! You can wear such simple pieces but really make the outfit with your accessories. I would love to hear what your favorite "simple sunday" looks are! Thanks so much for stopping by!

vivid.

Hi dolls! Hope you are all having an amazing day and enjoying this gorgeous weather! I had to post my new favorites I recently bought while on vacation. I have been in search for the perfect neon yellow/green heels FOREVER and I finally found my new love. (Ok so maybe it isn't a new love if I have three pairs of the same heel already but in different colors, oops). Thank you Steve Madden for having this fab color!! I kid you not I spent hours and hours online shopping trying to find this color anywhere and even checked Steve Madden and the website didn't have anything! The Shoe Gods were in my favor while I was in Miami and the Marlenee heel in yellow melon was calling my name! I'm telling you all, I think this style of a heel is the sexiest and can be worn with jeans to dresses. Try it ;) And of course while wandering around the H&M in Lincoln Road mall this skirt caught my eye. I've seen these midi/flare skirts on other ladies and had to try it on for myself. Instant love while I paired the shoes with it! What's your favorite heel to wear with skirts?

Thanks so much for stopping by! Would love to hear from you all.

skirt sunday

Hi dolls! Happy Sunday! Hope you all are enjoying this amazing weather Mother Nature decided to share with us. I've been sick of cold weather and am finally in spring wardrobe mode! Recently I have been obsessed with Kate Spade's t-shirts that have the cutest sayings. I love to mix and match casual pieces (a t-shirt) with fun, girly pieces (skirt and heels) to create a comfortable yet flirty look. For those who know me well, I normally prefer to wear black but have been branching out to a pop of color here and there (hence the vivid yellow accessory). Hope you all enjoy this post and would love to hear from you all!

think spring

dear winter, i am over you. 

Hello dolls! In honor of this lovely snow we have on the ground, figured I would post my spring inspired outfit I wore this weekend when the sun decided to visit. Can I just share how obsessed I am with my new overalls!? It brings me back to the 90s when it was actually cool to wear. I did a modern twist with it and wore my new favorite floral heels! (shockingly they aren't black pumps like I normally wear). I think a pointy toe pump is so sexy and can make any casual outfit dressy. (love them with boyfriend jeans as well!) Anways, I hope you all enjoy this post and outfit as much as I do! Would love to hear from you all as well!

wedding wednesdays

Happy Hump Day dolls! Now that the weather is warming up and wedding season is approaching, I've noticed a lot of my clients and close friends are in "wedding mode" so I thought I would do a wedding post for today. I've put a classic and chic look together for a bride to wear to her bridal shower. With that particular style of dress, it can be transitioned into cold weather months with layering of a edgy crop leather jacket or a simple colored blazer. The accessories from jewelry to handbag are so flirty and different. Where else can you find a license plate clutch? 

gift ideas for the bridesmaids...

Above are some fun gift ideas for your bridesmaids that they will definitely use after the wedding! They are inexpensive and sentimental as well (read the sayings on the bangle!) A fun nail polish set is great too and you can have your girls wear the colors at the wedding to compliment your color scheme (that way everyone matches). 

hope you all enjoy this post!
