Winter Style Featuring UGG Australia and Bernardo

Jacket: Bernardo 

Sweater: Vince.

Jeans: Gap

Shoes: UGG Australia

Tumbler: Corkcicle.

You would never know it was winter by looking at what I am wearing for this shoot. Lucky for us on the east coast, it's been a mild winter, with some days feeling more like fall weather. My new go-to shoes this season are my UGG Australia Athena boots. With a mix of suede and textured leather they can be worn up or folded down, and can be work with anything from jeans or leggings to dresses and or skirts. My Athena boots are super comfortable, wearable all day in the office and to events after work. with a stacked heel and foam insole lined with leather and sheepskin.

The Bernardo PrimaLoft® hooded jacket has a great fit and is super lightweight and packable. It's made with PrimaLoft® insulation, a water-resistant luxury down alternative. As thin as it is, the jacket is surprisingly warm without being bulky. Here's hoping we stay on track for a mild winter or at least get some more of those unseasonably warm days!

Golden Globes: Jenna Dewan Tatum's Smoky Eye + Honest Beauty

Here are tips on how to get Jenna Dewan Tatum's stunning smoky eye she rocked at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, courtesy of Makeup Artist Patrick Ta using Honest Beauty

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: To create her smoky eye, Ta used the Eyeshadow Trio in Truly Vibrant Ocean Blue. To start, he applied the base shade 1 across the lid, then used the dark shade 2 to contour crease and shape outer edge of lid. To complete the look, he topped off the center of the lid with highlight shade 3 for a lustrous finish.

Celebrating 2016 with Loacker Chocolate Specialties

Indulging in Loacker chocolate specialties is the perfect way to celebrate the new year with friends and family. I had recently shared an assortment of Loacker chocolate bars, wafer cookies and biscuits with my relatives over the holidays, and they were excited to try them and pair with coffee. 

There were a few items that were addictive, including the Crème Noisette fine milk chocolate biscuits with hazelnut cream and the Fogliette crispy milk chocolate specialty. The favorite by far was the Rose of the Dolomites 24-pack, which is packaged in a beautiful gold box containing original, white and dark chocolate. Since I love milk chocolate, this was my favorite, sweet and creamy with hazelnut cream. It's impossible to eat just one! 

Quadratini Hazelnut, Tiramisu and Raspberry-Yoghurt bite size wafer cookies are the perfect little snack to tie you over between meals. I keep these on my office desk and reach for them when I get a sweet craving! Sandwich Milk-Vanilla and Chocolate crispy wafers (with 71% cream) are great for sharing and snacking with friends, preferably with coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

Loacker has so many different options and varieties, whether your favorite is milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or hazelnut. 

Look for Loacker at your local Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Duane Reade and Eataly, and World Market stores.
