Dress: Rachel Zoe,  shoes: Kate Spade,

Getting dressed up and having friends over for drinks is what the holidays are all about, especially when that means being home and spending time with my family! If you've been following me on Snapchat or Instagram then you might have guessed I'm in France. I'll be ringing in the New Year with my girlfriends in Biarritz. This will be the first New Years we are spending together in over 8 years!! There are so many of us it's hard to be in one place at the same time, don't know how we figured it out but somehow we did! 

Having the perfect dress is pretty important since this is an important day n'all, I picked out this Rachel Zoe holiday party dress from Lord & Taylor. The detailed collar on this dress is simply gorgeous, exuding a really 60's sorta flair to it and the kitty flats, well this is as close as I'm getting to owning a real live animal. Kate Spade is replacing the missing puppy in my life. Check out more New Year's Eve options while there is still time here.

Been meaning to post this outfit for some time now. It happens to one of my favorite simple "go to" outfits. Easy and approachable is ma new thang.

Also status update:
Currently back home in Paris for the holidays so you can follow me and my family.
Not joking all I do is snap my brothers. Philip Charles doesn't like to smile and Pierce can't stop talking = Really great boring snapchat material for you to give yourself another reason to stop following me. Happy Holidays ya'll.

Ray Bans are my thing. When I say they are my thing I mean like I love them and they belong to me. I usually do the typical classic wayfarer but since my hair has been lookin extra cute even though its at it's weird growing out stage round lenses are working for me.

Turtleneck: Asos, jeans: A Gold E , shoes: Prada, neckerchief: Kitsune, sunglass: Ray Ban  bag: Saint Laurent

 I got these Ray Ban's from Sunglass Hut and I actually have a confession to make! I never lose my stuff, honestly I'm great with keeping things clean and in order, but a week after buying these I lost them walking home! I simply couldn't live without them and the following day returned back to the same Sunglass Hut to buy another pair. Early Christmas gift to myself...again.

 Wore this outfit the other day holiday shopping with Justin, I have to apologize if you've been seeing different variations of the same outfit over and over again. I love my camel coat and I like wearing it with turtlenecks. That's the one thing about me, once I love something I wear it to death, sorta like these glasses and how these are the only things on my face.

 With two more days till Christmas there is still time to stop by a Sunglass Hut and pick up that last minute gift. If you happen to be in New York stop by the one in SoHo on broadway. My vignette is still there and it might be a great source of inspiration when gift giving. The good thing about sunglasses is that everybody needs them!

After waiting for what seemed like forever I'm finally home for the holidays.

New York still has my heart, but France is where my family and friends are.

This morning after sleeping in I strolled around the village of Maison

Laffitte, my parents moved to this beautiful town outside of Paris. It's so

peaceful and delightfully festive this time of year. It's also quite warm so a

simple turtleneck and light coat was all I needed!



I pack very light, anyone who knows me can tell you I only pack what I

need! I came across these M. Gemi flats the other day when trying to figure

out which shoes I should pack with me. I love the glossy patent finish of

these Doppio flats. An easy shoe to dress up and in my case dress down for

simple strolls around town.





With only 4 more days till Christmas my parents’ house is decked out.

Pierce and I love wearing our Santa hats around the house it's one tradition I

hope never fades, and although my mother hates it he loves picking up gifts

and shaking them, it's gotten him into a lot of trouble but hilarious to watch.

Follow my time home on snapchat (trop_rouge) and check out more styles

from M.Gemi to find your favorite holiday shoe.

These past couple of months have been some of the best moments in my life. I moved out, I'm trying to be healthier and I'm finally really happy! I don't need a boyfriend to make me feel pretty or the reason I should smile and dance while I cook in my apartment!!

 Being comfortable with who you are is so important to your well being. I'm partnering up with Proactiv this December sharing with you my #TrueSelfie. I've been working with many different campaigns the past 2 months but if you haven't noticed all of them have a message. I really want to spread kindness and confidence this season!! 

The message Proactiv is sharing is pretty amazing! You should be proud of who you are and what you look like. Nothing should hold you back from your life.. not acne, not anything. Here’s my #TrueSelfie No makeup, no nothing :)

Coat: The Line & Dot, pants: Everlane, shoes: Steve Madden, top: Gat Rimon

I might not live in the East Village anymore, but that doesn't mean you won't find me walking up 2nd ave grabbing a hot chocolate at Third Rail. I'm not getting a tree this year since I'll be gone most of December, but that doesn't mean I'm not totally getting into the holiday spirit. Justin snapped these photo of me while I was picking out a wreath for my door! The holidays are honestly so fun, might be the parties, might be the drinks...might be a bit of both.

Steve Madden happens to have some pretty awesome and affordable footwear,which is where my slips on's happen to come from. These are perfect for when you're feelin' festive but not in the mood to wear heels. Below are some extra lil somethings to add to your Christmas wish list or last minute holiday parties!!



Slip ons, Brown boots, nude heels, red heels, tall boots

I kicked off Art Basel surrounded by friends and in the best company, naturally. The 50 Bleu team welcomed myself a several other rad influencers that all happen to be very good friends of mine to Miami this year and the memories are ones I'll have forever.

 After this trip I'm proud to call myself a  vodka kinda girl, 50 Bleu is extremely smooth, and you'll be surprised to find out on your first sip of this distilled Golden Rye vodka is mixed with natural spring water at 50 degrees, pure and full bodied with such a smooth finish I was often found ordering it straight up.

Poolside lounging, dinner at the Versace Mansion (Yes the Versace Mansion), gorgeous art and cruising around on a boat all afternoon. Hard life, I know. We called the Mondrian Hotel in South Beach home for the few days we were there. Mornings spent recapping last nights jokes and evening  being treated to some of the best restaurants in Miami such as Red Ginger (literally incredible), Gianni’s and Villa Azur. Huge thanks to 50 Bleu, they really know how to pick good spots!

Special thanks to 50 Bleu for an unforgettable trip

Destination: The Beach

Top: Sam & Lavi, bag: Dagne Dover, sunnies: Ray Ban

The Charlie tote has travelled everywhere with me, from Miami to NY and soon straight to Paris. It's honestly my "Destination Everywhere" bag. The first thing I bring to meetings and the only thing I've brought with me as my carry on. I needed something that was chic, with a sophisticated silhouette and with a lot of compartments for my everyday essentials!

I feel like all I've been doing is hanging out of boats this month or chilling at the beach, totally not complaining! Packing for a beach day is my favorite because 1) it's easy and 2) I'm going to the beach...I mean seriously right? Easy slip-ons, playful earphones,  my ipad for "work" totally not to play the Kim Kardashian game! And green juice because you wanna look good in your bathing suit...

Destination: The City

Jacket: Gat Rimon, top: Zara, pants: A Gold E, sunnies: Persol, bag: Dagne Dover

I never know where my day is going to take me in the city, so I usually always have my computer on me and with so many different compartments, it's easy to basically pack my entire life. Headphones, flats when my feet start to hate me and of course my agenda, If I leave the house without it I start having a panic attack...yes I still use an agenda I HAVE to write everything down.
