Happy Friday!!!
So yesterday was my birthday! All I wanted (aside from you guys to buy my book), was to spend a day doing absolutely nothing at a fabulous hotel. I got my birthday wish: a day of luxuriating at the Waldorf Astoria!

Kings, Queens, royalty, and movie stars have stayed at the Waldorf, so I felt it only fitting to stay there on my special day! I held court in a ginormous room in the Towers, equipped with a kitchen, living room, dining room, dressing room, and bedroom. It was BOMB!

After getting settled in, I headed to the Guerlain spa for a relaxing massage.

I planned for drinks at one of the hotels many bars, but after surveying my grand quarters, I figured I’d just welcome my friends and family to lowkey drinks chez moi. We had a good time.

It wasn’t completely chill, but I felt loved. What more could a girl ask for?!?

If you want to stay at the Waldorf, do so soon!! The New York Property will be closing indefinitely in 3 months to be converted into condos.
My New York stay was so fabulous that I’m curious to see other Waldorf properties around the world.
Stay tuned…
Love & Light!

*Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes!

Embellished details continue to be the go-to theme for fashionistas looking to up the ante on their wardrobe this season. Whether fur-trimmed, ruffled, or fringed, when it comes to winter fashion, a bold statement sleeve adds an instant wow-factor to even a casual everyday outfit. If you’re in need of a few ideas on how to slay this trend, look no further than today’s style inspirations.

Keep it cute and casual in a blush ruffle sleeve sweatshirt, biker moto jeans, and a pair of Rockstud nude pumps.

Complete the look with a pale blush cocoon coat, a soft pink square tote bag, oversized round-frame sunglasses, and silver jewelry.

Have a monochromatic moment in a strappy cut-out midi dress topped with a cropped suede and fur-sleeve jacket.

Style the look with an embellished metallic handbag, a glitter ombre pump, and designer frames.

Rework your favorite wardrobe staples with a pussy bow blouse paired with distressed boyfriend jeans and a ruffle sleeve cardigan.

Add a chic feel to the look with a monogram canvas tote bag, chain adorned black ankle-strap sandals, and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses.

And lastly, go all-out chic in a pair of wide-leg pants accented with a fringe sleeve sweater and ankle lock patent leather pumps.

Add the finishing touch with a taupe hobo bag, cream fedora hat, and oversized shades.

And that’s it for this week’s fab looks! What do you think of today’s statement sleeve style inspirations? How would you wear the trend?
