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 :)

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.

Photography: Michelle Mosqueda 

Sometimes living in New York and can make you a bit tough, slighter harder and occasionally not as polite as you'd like to be because you want things done yesterday and for some the world revolves around them. I'd like to think that this side of living in a big city has not yet affected me which is why when spoken to about the 100 Good deed bracelets I was immediately intrigued. 

You're probably wondering what makes these beads so special. The idea behind this campaign is pretty fantastic One deed. One bead. One act of kindness at a time, all part of an international movement for positive change. The bracelet comes in a variety of different colors but I chose clay because I have a serious soft spot for anything earth tone.
The bracelet is both a call to do good deeds and a strategy to empower women. it enables us to count our good deeds, however small, until we reach 100, at which point you gift the bracelet to someone else.

I have a younger brother that I don't see very often so it's really important for me to be a good example and show kindness whenever possible, my father was the same way he's a contractor and has a tendency to go above and beyond for people sometimes even going as far as working for free just to "Do you a solid"....he's honestly a Saint.

There is no "small" deed and being kind is not hard to do, I have a tendency to not be able to walk into a store without asking a person begging for food if they are hungry and would like something. I once had a guy ask if he could come in with me and show me what he wanted haha, we ended up also buying food for his dog. He was really funny and it felt nice helping someone out.

Please take a look at the other bracelets and find a color that represents you, it's a nice little reminder...to do some good :)

I get to do a lot of cool projects in my work. But this has to be one of the coolest and most personal partnerships I've done in a while! I've been apart of the Sunglass Hut family for some time now, so when I was asked to work with them in creating my very own closet vignette I obviously said yes. 

Now like I mentioned before this is one of the most creative / personal projects I've worked on in a while and alongside a bunch of equally talented ladies, creating a closet vignette in the Sunglasss Hut SoHo store. I wanted my vignette to really resemble my actual closet or if you were to take a glimpse into what I have on my bedside table,  to what I'm reading, to what I'm wearing. Perfectly curated picked pieces that really scream "me". A bunch of the the rings, books and even some tops come straight from my home. 

This pop-up will be at the Sunglass Hut SoHo store at 496 Broadway for the month of December so please if you have time, stop by and check out mine and the other lovely ladies' closets. We also picked a few of our favorite sunglass styles, that fit with each of our own personal styles.
