I have a confession to make. I’m not a big fan of jumpsuits or pantsuits or really any kinds of suits when it comes my wardrobe. I’ve tried on my fair share and they just look, well, off. But Extra TV host Maria Menounos might have just changed my mind at the ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ red carpet premiere.

Is this not a “WOW” outfit to say the least?

Maria is a wearing sexy and stunning black jumpsuit by Gemy Maalouf. It’s the lace that makes my jaw drop. Gemy Maalouf is known for bold details and she did not disappoint with this piece of art work.

Here’s a look at the back. Drop dead gorgeous!

Maria paired it with a gorgeous pair of green earrings that in no way take away from the jumpsuit, but instead compliment it just right. Love it.

Fashion Obsession: Coral and Teal

My latest fashion obsession, which you kind of see everywhere right now, is combining coral and teal together. My daughter and I had a little fun with this trend at a recent party we went to. I wore teal wedges, she wore coral. I painted my toes and fingernails coral, she painted her teal. Here’s a picture we took of our feet, because why not, right?

Wedges: Both from Khol’s (Pictured below)

Super cute huh? I love that my daughter and I wear the same shoe size. We both benefit greatly from this! Except when we want to wear the same pair of shoes, on the same day.

Have you tried this color combining trend? Here’s some inspiration for you with some outfit ideas and jewelry.

Beautiful color combination isn’t it? It also looks fabulous as colors for nail art, home decor, wedding theme and food – such as for cupcakes and cakes.

Back Yard Ideas…

Inspiration. It’s what I am all about right now as we get ready to move into a new house towards the end of June. This will be the first time we’ve moved into a brand new house that is a clean slate. Even the backyard is a clean slate, so I’ve been doing some digging around to see what ideas I can come up with for the space. The backyard to me is another living space and it’s important for it to look and feel good.

I have some furniture already to work with. So really all I need to do is freshen up the space with some cushions & pillows and add some accessories. I have a yellow umbrella I bought last summer that I adore, so I’ll be pulling that out again. Would you like to see some inspirational back yard ideas? I thought you’d never ask!

13 Inspirational Back Yard Ideas

1. Not only did the deck grab my attention, but the two orange umbrellas and wooden furniture. Our furniture is similar to this, but in red. I would also love to surround the backyard in potted plants with some color.

2. This Five Piece Dining set from Target adds style and comfort to your backyard. it also adds convenience. The small cushions can be moved around the yard easily for an impromptu get-together.

3. There are a couple of items that stuck out to in this picture. The ceramic side table and the container chilling the drinks. I love the idea of having a container ready to go with cold drinks for our guests. They can grab them as they please and not have to ask the host for something to drink.

4. This truly looks like another room of the house, but just located outside. With the hutch, coffee table and added accent table, I can see a few members of my family curling up on that couch and reading for hours on end. [Read more...]

Ten Things Tuesday features 10 items I have found, tested, laid eyes on and just fell in love with.

From fashion, gadgets and a cleaning schedule – here are 10 things that caught my eye this week.

Ten Things Tuesday

1. Pocket Monkey

No, it’s not a real little monkey I carry around in my pocket. (Although how cool would that be?) It’s an all-in-one tool I carry around in my wallet. It has become my favorite gadget and the uses are endless. Use it as a: Bottle Opener, Phone Kickstand, Flat head screwdriver, Micro-flathead screwdriver, English Ruler, Letter opener, Orange peeler and banana nicker – just to name a few uses.

The Pocket Monkey retails for $12, and is available online at www.zootilitytools.com.

2. Weekly Cleaning Routine

Do you just want a list that tells you exactly what to clean every day in your home? Here’s a free cleaning schedule you can print out. This is going in my household notebook.

3. How to Get Loose Curls

Here’s a fantastic how-to on getting gorgeous loose curls. If only I could just wake up with these every day.

4. The Little White Dress

Hello summer. Hello to the Little White Dress. Check out some gorgeous dresses (some under $100) on Amazon.

5. Find a Thrift Store Near You

Do you love to shop at thrift stores or maybe you would like to start seeing what you can find at them? Just enter your zip code on this site and it will tell you where all of the nearest thrift stores are in your city.

6. Chic Home Accents

I love these candles found at TJ Maxx. Not only do they have some incredible fashion steals, but their home decor items are not to be ignored. Check them out!

7. TOMS Striped Sandal

Sigh. I have been eyeing a pair of these TOMS sandals since last summer, but have yet to add a pair to my wardrobe. Why? I have no idea!

8. Pink Chicken

I’m obsessed with this clothing line for kids and women. It’s described as bohemian chic and includes breezy summer tunics, pants and dresses that are perfect for the beach or everyday wear. You can purchase items on their website, at their stores (located on Amagansett and on Madison Ave), as well as top retail stores like Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus and Fred Segal/Ron Robinson.

9. The NST 600 Chrono Watch from Nautica

This is one of Nautica’s newest watch styles and perfect for summer. It comes in fun, bright colors and has subdials that indicate day, seconds and 30-minute chronograph. Plus, it’s water resistant to 100 meters.

10. DIY: Lace Inset Jeans

I absolutely love this idea for so many reasons. One, I love lace. Two, both my daughter and I have some jeans that have rips in them and this would be a way to make them stand out. This is definitely something we are going to try!
