Cozy season favorites!

Fashion Holiday Holiday Gift Guide

From fall and winter fashion to the crisp, cool air and holiday festivities in between, this is my favorite time of year! I love curling up by the fire in my coziest clothes with my favorite book at the moment and a cup of hot cocoa. I’ve linked my favorite cozy finds to get you in the spirit of cozy weather and all would make great gifts for a girlfriend, Mom, sister, aunt, grandma, you name it! Everything I’ve linked is affordable and can be found at either Walmart or Target!

Mugs

Who doesn’t love a good mug? I’ve linked my favorites below and they’re all $5 or less.

This mug is from a local small business, shop HERE.

Pajamas and joggers

I swear I live in my PJ’s and sweatpants this time of year, especially since I work from home most of the time! My favorites are linked below.

Cozy tops and sweatshirts

Another favorite of mine this time of year, especially when it’s chilly inside and you’re sitting by the fire! I found some cozy ones and linked them below!

Candles!

Everyone loves candles. They make the room just feel cozier and they’re pretty in dim lighting. I also included a salt lamp that I have and love–they help to purify the air and are proven to bring a sense of calming!

Slippers and more cozy things

The rest of my cozy favorites, including slippers and socks are linked below!

What do you like to cozy up with this time of year?

Distortion Eyeshadow Palette by Urban Decay x Sephora Inside JCPenney

Beauty Holiday Gift Guide

I partnered with Sephora inside JCPenney to share some of the latest and greatest pieces from Urban Decay. I had so much fun playing today with these products, below I will go into more detail on each as well as sharing my completed look.

All opinions and my love for these products are my own!! #SephoraInJCP #SoWorthIt #ad

To create this stunning and fun glam look, I used the Distortion Eyeshadow Palette, Eyeshadow Primer Potion, All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner, Troublemaker Mascara, 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil and two Ultimate Pair lipstick and lip liner packages. 

Distortion Eyeshadow Palette

This new palette contains 15 stunning colors for you to create any type of look you’re going for.

You can easily create a bold bronzy eye, a soft silver eye, a pink and purple bold eye like I did or simply use a matte for a day to day look. Each color feels velvety and blends so smoothly. You can pick this up at your local Sephora inside JCPenney for $49.

 

Before starting my eye shadow, apply the Urban Decay Primer Potion!

Comes in Original, Eden, Minor Sin and Anti-Aging.

Just depending on what your needs are.

I used the Original.

Original – Nude, dries down invisibly.

Eden – Nude Matte, full coverage – helps hide ALL redness.

Minor Sin – Champagne Shimmer.

Anti-Aging – Nude, color-correcting + optical blurring.

I used “Mind Game”, “Trash Talk”, “Rouge” and “Blur” from the Distortion Eyeshadow Palette to achieve this look below. I also applied Urban Decay’s Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in “Grind” to add some shimmer to my top lid which you can see in the photo above- They have 6 other colors which are all STUNNING.

I used “The Ultimate Pair” for my lips.

Backtalk in their Vice lipstick & Rush in their 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil.

So the final step after completing your look is locking it into place with Urban Decay’s All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray.

I have been using the All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray for the last year and it’s been my go to, I even purchased the smaller version to keep in my purse. Trust me, it’s AMAZING.

The other two makeup setting sprays they carry are called “de-slick” and “chill”

All Nighter – is great for a long work day and days you won’t get to reapply. Lasts for 16 hours!

De-slick – helps control oil and helps your skin stay matte.

Chill – it helps cool the surface of your makeup to keep it from smudging or setting into any fine lines.

It’s priced at $32 and for the travel sized I mentioned above it’s $15!

I hope you got some fun inspiration with this post! Whether it’s a day look you create or fun glam look, stop by your local Sephora located inside JCPenney to find all your Urban Decay needs. If you have any questions feel free to send me an email. I would love to hear from you!

A Holiday Gift That Is A MVMT

Holiday Gift Guide Looks Style Tips

It’s that time of year, people! CHRISTMAS TIME! There isn’t anything quite like a classic watch. And the style of watches have come a long way!

With MVMT watches, not only are you guaranteed to be wearing, or gifting, a stylish watch, but you’re also supporting a small dream from two men that turned into something grand.

The style of these watches are amazing and at first glance, you would expect them to be super expensive. But they aren’t. They are SO well-made, stylish AND affordable.

SUNSET BOX FROM THE BOULEVARD COLLECTION

Now, if you’re anything like me, you love Christmas shopping for friends and family, BUT sometimes it can be pretty hard to choose between styles. Do they want their watch black? What if they want a brown one?

Well, there’s good news. With some of  MVMT Limited Edition Gift Boxes, you don’t have to choose!

The Rose Box and the Lexington Box are a a couple of the gift boxes that come with interchangeable straps, as well as the perfect pair of matching sunnies.

One of the cool things about the limited edition gift boxes are how much you can save rather than buying each item separately. For instance, the runaway polarized sunglasses are $95. The Crux Watch is $150. Just those two items, by themselves, put you at $245.

But with the Runaway Box, you get both of those items, plus an interchangeable leather strap and the perfect gift box, which can double as safe storage for your collection!

The total of the Runaway Box is $280 AND you can use my discount code, for additional savings!  The Runaway box includes:

  • – NOVA 38MM | CRUX WATCH
  • – INTERCHANGEABLE BLACK LEATHER STRAP
  • – RUNAWAY – MATTE BLACK SUNGLASSES (POLARIZED)

In the picture below, I am wearing the Matte Black Sunglasses called RUNWAY also in the Runaway Box. Black is always just so classic and clean and I feel like it goes with everything. These sunnies also come in 2 other colors. Cant go wrong with a pair of avators. Click here to shop this look, and don’t forget to use the discount code I put at the bottom of this post.

Below is the Sandstone Box  from the Men’s Combo Box. Hurry, before they’re all SOLD OUT!

The Combo Box features a watch and interchangeable strap, packaged in a limited edition gift box. The Sandstone Box includes:

  • – CHRONO 45MM | GUNMETAL SANDSTONE WATCH
  • – INTERCHANGEABLE BLACK LEATHER STRAP

#JOINTHEMVMT

They are currently selling out SO fast, so I would head there now. They only have two women’s boxes left!

You can use my code tonyamichelle on any item to save! Happy Shopping and Merry Christmas, you guys!

ANGEL BY MUGLER – A Great Way To Personalize A Gift!

Beauty Holiday Gift Guide

Finding the perfect personalized gift can be hard! I mean time is flying by…the Holidays are right around the corner or maybe you’re celebrating a birthday with a loved one even sooner.

Have you found that one special gift yet? No worries, I have you covered!!!!

I have partnered up with Angel by Mugler to help take out the stress on finding a gift that doesn’t only smell amazing, but it’s personalized.  

This post is sponsored but all opinions are mine.

As you can see above Angel by Mugler is personalized this perfume bottle with my name on it. The bottle is designed so magically to begin with, adding this is such a special touch. This is complimentary! You can get that persons name or even “I <3 You” – up to 18 characters.

The Thierry Mugler Angel Shooting Star perfume bottle features blue gems and delicately sculpted facets that reflect light and shadows. It’s hands down one of my favorite looking perfume bottles. You can easily keep this bottle after use and put on your desk as decoration or even a gorgeous paperweight.

Not only can you get perfume, the hair mist is LOVELY!

An addictive and delicious scent for the angelic yet seductive woman, the first-ever “Gourmand” fragrance tempts with notes nearly good enough to eat. The perfuming hair mist has special technology that dispels “holiday party” odors such as cigarette smoke, restaurant/cooking smells, etc. and has a patented intense diffusion system which diffuses the scent of Angel beyond the initial application – every time you move or flip your hair the scent is activated.

They also have great gift sets you can choose from as well, below are some of my favorites.

 

4 piece gift set: linked here.

The celestial scent of ANGEL will veil her skin in seduction while the Body Cream soothes and nourishes her skin with her favorite fragrance.
This gift set includes:
  • Eau de Parfum Refillable Spray, 0.8 oz.
  • Eau de Parfum Spray, 0.23 oz.
  • Perfuming Body Cream, 1 oz.
  • Clutch

 

Glamour Angel Gift Set: linked here.

Fragrance story: Tiny yet immense, near yet distant, the Angel star appears to be carved from the sky. It is a glamorous fragrance for the woman who is half angelic, half devilish. Captured in a faceted gem sculpted like a diamond star, Angel is the ultimate secret for absolute seduction.

Set includes:

– Eau de Parfum (1.7 oz.)

– Body Lotion (3.5 oz.)

– Shower Gel (3.4 oz.)

Notes: bergamot, tropical fruits, vanilla, caramel, patchouli.

Share a special gift with that special someone.

I know I will be sharing these with some of my special friends. The perfect stocking stuffer.

Happy Holidays!!

Holiday Shopping Made Easy With Westfield Montgomery Mall

Holiday Gift Guide Looks Sale Style Tips Westfield Montgomery Mall

This holiday season I’m spending my time shopping at Westfield Montgomery Mall! I have partnered up with them to show you some of my favorite stores and best holiday items to give.  Scroll below and let me help you find the perfect item for yourself or a loved one.

My first stop at the mall was ALDO, their sales for the holidays are great and you can’t beat their normal prices either. Their handbags are one of my favorite things about them. You can find a dupe handbag for an amazing price. I found one! Below you will see mine and how I styled it. I purchased for under $50!

Isn’t it gorgeous? I’m obsessed. Thanks Aldo for a great find!

Next stop was Stuart Weitzman – I’m in LOVE with some of their new designs. Below you’ll find my top picks I found at Westfield Montgomery!

These Overcoat Booties are to DIE for, make a true statement right?!? These are on my wish list. Dear Santa, I promise I’ve been good this year. Size 9 please and thank you.

The Decor Sneaker below comes in 4 different colors and they are SO cute. An easy way to jazz up a simple pair of jeans and t-shirt. Who needs accessories when you can have them on your sneakers!!

My third stop was at Nordstrom! It’s like heaven right now. So many gift options and they go above and beyond to help you find the perfect item. In their beauty section you can find endless possibilities. Below are some of my favorites!

The MAC counter — display is not only on point but makes you wanna buy everything!

I had to pick up this case from Sonix for my iPhone X that will be arriving soon. 

Rebecca Minkoff bags!!!! Can we talk about these details?! To die for. Their selection of handbags are unreal and stunning. A great way to add to your collection or someones.

Need Dry Bar at home?! Nordstrom has it covered!!! Whether it’s a blow dryer or an entire gift set. Bring that blowout home.

One of my favorite beauty brands has the cutest and greatest gift sets. Clinque is killing it! Nordstrom has a huge selection of their items as well as their beauty counter. 

Victoria Secret was having a killer sale and I had to make sure I stopped someone for Carl, right? haha. They also had the cutest gift sets as well. I think I’m truly a sucker for a good gift set. Their matching PJ sets are also a good idea for your girlfriends. You can have a fun sleepover and all relax in your new pjs, at least that’s something I find fun!!

My next stop was to Michael Kors! I love how Westfield has all types of stores, everything from household stores, high end department stores, to budget friendly stores as well. It’s a great one-stop shop for everything you need for Holiday shopping.

I walked into Michael Kors and was blown away by their presentation of everything. Not only was everything stunning, I wanted to try on each piece of clothing. If you’re looking for a Holiday dress, outfit or jacket, you HAVE to head to Michael Kors. Below I’ll show you what I walked away with….

This dress is GORGEOUS. I saw it, and had to bring it home. I’m wearing a size small! I’ve linked the dress HERE incase you don’t have a store near you!

I wanted to hit up every store but my last stop for the day was Kiehl’s!

They have some of my favorite lotion and skin care products. I had to make a stop to see what great gift giving ideas they had. I found the cutest Mickey Mouse themed items which also teamed up with Feed America. What’s better than buying a great gift for someone but also giving back to a great cause at the same time!

If you’re local to the DMV area – You need to stop by Westfield Montgomery Mall for all your Holiday shopping needs. You can even bring the kids by to see Santa!! One stop shop.

Let’s Celebrate the Holidays in Affordable Glam! Esmara By Heidi Klum At Lidl

DC Esmara by Heidi Klum Fall Fashion Holiday Gift Guide Lidl OOTD Sale Style

*This post was sponsored by Lidl – All opinions and outfit ideas are my own 😉 

Heidi Klum is back with Esmara for Lidl and this second collection made my heart skip a beat. You add sequins, velvet, sparkles and faux fur to an affordable price tag and I’m going IN!!! I can’t get enough of this collection. I wanted to wear everything and share everything in one day with you guys. There are so many amazing pieces that I will she showcasing throughout the next month, so keep your eyes on my blog and social media channels. This collection hits Lidl locations on December 7th and will sell out quick!! You can view her first collection by clicking HERE, also search to see if their is a Lidl near you by clicking HERE.

I’m a sucker for a staple piece sweater that you can wear with jeans when out and about during the day, sweats when you’re at home relaxing or running errands and even adding a skirt for a night out on the town. Also a huge fan of when the sweater is only $14.99!! Yep, that’s right. Above you can just image how soft that sweater is, trust me– you need one!

Comes in sizes 2-12. I’m wearing a size 4.

Another favorite piece of this collection is the jumpsuit! There are two different options that she is releasing, the other one I will showcase in a later post. It’s also under $20! It’s $14.99!!!

Comes in “One Size” – I’m usually a size 4 and this fit me.

I added a fun faux fur stole as an accessory to this outfit! It comes in light pink and black. You can adjust how tight or loose you’d like it to be, you’ll see below a photo of how it ties.

I’m wearing a size 4 and is only $9.99!!

A great item to add to a plain t-shirt, dress or jumpsuit like I did. Sky is the limit for how you can use this accessory in your daily outfits.

Heidi designed some GORGEOUS camisoles! Comes in 4 different colors and even 1 velvet.

Since the weather here in Virginia has been getting chilly, I added a plain white t-shirt under mine. Add some fun accessories and you’re ready to go. I went with a black chocker to vibe into my 90’s look. Anyone else love how fashion trends are coming back? I know I do!!

Sizes 2-12. I’m wearing a size 4. Only $5.99!

She designed another 3 pairs of jeans/pants for this collection and yet again — perfect fit! I’m wearing a size 6 in these. They come in Black, black faux jean/leather look and dark denim. For only $9.99 you could get multiple pairs — I know I went back to the store and bought 2 more pairs for later. When I love something, I buy it in every color and multiples — no shame here!!

This clutch is from her first collection and is one of my favorites, I use it all the time!

I love how easy it is to take her pieces and mix -n- match them. You have total control on taking any staple piece from her collections and making it into your own fashion statement or a day to day piece for work or event! I hope you enjoyed some of my styling ideas for her new collection. I also hope to see you at the Manassas Lidl location on Dec. 7th! I will be there helping you style the new collection.

Learn more HERE about Lidl and how they give you high quality for a low price. (You already know I love that!)
