The Giambattista Valli x H&M Collection is here!

{Giambattista Valli x H&M Dress}

The highly anticipated Giambattista Valli for H&M launched today at 10:00 a.m EST. The collection consists of 41 very fashion-forward pieces for women. Kendall Jenner is the face of the collaboration. She looks stunning in this red tulle dress from the collection. This particular dress is $549. Not cheap but it's way affordable compared to the actual Giambattista Valli pieces. I don't love everything from the collaboration but below are a few pieces that I am interested in checking out. I predict that everything will be sold out in less than an hour. You might have to hit "Reload" several times to get in. Check out the full collection here.

2. Lace boots

3. Black dress

4. Floral maxi dress

5. Black skirt

6. Long sleeve black dress *This is the one piece I am hoping to get*

Petite-friendly houndstooth pants

If you're a petite or a short woman, you know a good pair of office-appropriate pants is hard to find. I am constantly on the lookout for work pants. When I saw this pair, I knew I had to give it a try. They're made of stretchy jersey knit fabric. Because of the material, these pull-on pants are insanely comfortable. The best part? They're wrinkle-free. I am glad I found them. They're the ultimate, comfortable, wrinkle-free work pants. I paired these pants with a simple black bodysuit and my trusty black pumps to complete the look.

Teddy Blake :: Luxury bags for less

Today, I have a handbag review for you. You might recall I’ve done several handbag reviews for Teddy Blake in the past. I love all their handbags but the new Ava has to be my most favorite bag that I own so far from Teddy Blake. The quality was exceptional. Teddy Blake offers a wide variety of leather types but their pebbled leather is my favorite. I prefer pebbled leather for all my bags as it's extremely durable and requires less maintenance. The size is perfect for everyday use. Outfit details: Teddy Blake bag | Express pants | H&M sweater | Christian Louboutin shoes 

Features I love:
Adjustable shoulder strap: Being on 5’2”, the adjustable strap was one of my favorite features. It's allowing me to find my perfect setting. I love how it can go from a shoulder bag to a crossbody bag within seconds.
Back pocket for easy access: The back of the bag has a zippered pocket that is super convenient for accessing items you need on the go. It's big enough for your keys, parking tickets, money and more. Not to mention, the zipper is very well made and glides smoothly.
Magnetic closure: The front flap has a magnetic closure allowing you to open and close the bag with greater ease. The magnetic closure is strong enough that the bag can be worn without having to close it all the way. I kind of love the way it looks as well
Fully lined in suede: The suede lining inside adds an ultraluxe feel. This bag is the perfect size for everyday use. It feels very luxurious without a luxury price tag

I’ve had this bag for a few weeks now and I am still so in love with it. Some of my co-workers are checking out this bag as well. It is truly perfect for work and play. Not to mention, this shade of beige goes with virtually everything. If beige isn't your thing, this bag is available in 8 color options here.

DIY Halloween Burrito Costume

I love Chipotle so this year, I decided to make my own burrito costume. I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. to finish it. I love making my own costume but it's very time consuming. Regardless, I was able to pull it off. Not my favorite creation so far so this will do. I won the "Best Individual Costume" contest at work today!!! Just in case you want to make the same costume next year, I hope you find this tutorial helpful.  

For the burrito: This part is very similar to the Starbucks costume we made last year

• 1" project foam: Cut to your desired size and hand-stitch 2 ends together (I used 1 yard)
• Metallic shiny silver fabric (I used 1.5 yard). Wrap the fabric around the tube using heat tape. This kind of tape is really sticky and has strong hold
• Sew 2 shoulder straps to keep the burrito from falling down

For the toppings:

• 2 yards of wool felt fabric in the color natural: Pretend like you're making a body pillow case. Twist the pillow case twice and sew 2 ends together. This doesn't have to be perfect. You can adjust the shape of it once you have it on
• Use green felt fabric sheet for lettuce and red felt for tomatoes
• Use brown yarn for beans
• Use crinkle cut paper for cheese
• Pile everything on top of the wrapper (I used Gorilla super glue)

There you have it! Are you dressing up tonight? Speaking of dressing up, I got this shark outfit for my puppy. Unfortunately, it was too small on him even though I got the biggest size. Regardless, he still looks so adorable in it. Hope you'll have a happy and safe Halloween!

Celine Dion Concert

I was so excited when Celine Dion announced her Courage world tour. My girlfriend and I went to her concert last night and it was absolutely amazing! I grew up listening to all of Celine Dion's songs. Being at the concert last night takes me right back down memory lane. Her voice is absolutely incredible and mesmerizing. You will be swept away by her voice and feel the entire emotion of the song from beginning to end. I teared up a little when she started singing "My heart will go on". There is a reason why she's a diva. The tickets weren't cheap. We were all the way up there in one of the back rows but they're worth every penny. Her performance was everything my heart wanted and more and I'm so thankful that I got the opportunity to see her perform right in my hometown. I recorded some of my favorite songs last night. Even though I used my phone, her voice still sounded amazing! Check them out below. I wore this maxi dress to the concert last night and I love it. I have a list of things that I'd like to add to my Fall wardrobe and this dress was the first purchase. This long-sleeve maxi dress is perfect for Fall (and it even has pockets!!!). Outfit details: Universal Thread dress *size XS* | Hermes belt |AE sunglasses | Forever 21 earrings | Public Desire boots

The slip skirt trend

The 90s slip/satin skirts are coming back big time. They're this season's biggest trend. I picked up this skirt from Zara a few months ago and have been enjoying it. Last month, since it was so hot outside, I paired the skirt with my beloved tank. As the temperatures get cooler, I paired the skirt with a thick sweater to keep me warm and cozy. Since the fabric tends to look formal, I like to pair the skirt with a pair of flat sandals or sneakers to balance out the look. This exact skirt is no longer available but I linked a few similar options below. I am actually on the hunt for an animal print version. Outfit details: Zara skirt *similar options below* | Express sweater *on major sale!* | VCA necklace | Le Specs sunglasses | Saint Laurent bag | Adidas superstar sneakers
