<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welllll helloooooo there!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I wanted to start a series on the blog that had to do with beauty products since it's pretty much an obsession of mine. Welcome to The Beauty Diaries, Volume 1. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the first installment I wanted to introduce you to my latest brand obsession: Hourglass.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> With the onset of a new season, I went exploring in Sephora a few weeks ago on the hunt for a new Fall foundation. I knew it was time to give up my light summer BB cream routine, and I wanted something full coverage without feeling like I was caking it on. As someone with problem skin (oh hello acne in my 20's, you SUCK), I was also looking for something that had skin benefits and not just coverage. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luckily, I met an awesome Sephora employee who knew exactly what to give me. Originally I was looking to switch back to BareMinerals, which I used to use throughout college. I was sick of the liquid foundation problems where every time I hugged someone I feared my face imprint was left on their shoulders (gah the worst).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This Hourglass foundation is miracles my friends. It's in a pump bottle that comes out as a liquid, but turns into a powder once it's on your face. It has buildable coverage, but pretty much only takes two pumps for me to get a pretty full coverage on my entire face. It lasts almost the whole day, feels like velvet on my face, and has yet to make me break out even more, so basically...I'm in love. I was also convinced to buy the primer (feels like silk) AND their special Ambient powder that basically makes you look like you airbrushed your face in photos. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I'll also be on my way to get their concealer as well, but I had to have SOME self-control. It is a pricey brand, the products are not considered cheap whatsoever, but since I'm on my way to my later-er twenties (god help me) I've decided that one thing I am going to stop skimping on is skincare, and products that give me confidence and make me feel good about myself. I don't splurge on crazy things often, but these are definitely worth it my friends.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm really excited about my post today (that I'm finally writing as I sit on my couch, balancing my frozen yogurt and wine dinner. Living the life I tell ya)! I'm going to blame the combo of wine and the fro-yo sugar high on the massive online Sephora purchase I just made. Woops. Anyway, as usual, I digress.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past Friday morning I had the opportunity through <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/invite/bdkax" target="_blank">Birchbox</a> to check out an awesome new (to me) brand at their Upper West Side store, <a href="http://us.rituals.com/" target="_blank">Rituals Cosmetics</a>. Lucky for me it was only a 20 minute walk up to their store so I checked it out before work...and I'm SO glad I did.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Basically, this blogger event was amazing. The ladies that run the NYC Rituals Cosmetics stores could not be more down to earth or more excited to share the story of Rituals Cosmetics. Though it's fairly new in the U.S., it growing rapidly and is apparently all over Europe already. And for good reason, their products are amazing and pretty affordable. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">AND THE BEST PART....one of you guys will be getting in on the Rituals action! Rituals made the morning even more amazing by gifting each of us 3 products from one of their lines, and then doubled it so we could share with our readers!</span></div>

As I say every time, I'm the worst blogger, I know. Aka, one of these days Ill post here more than once every 3 months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Truthfully, I've sat in my apartment today and rewrote this post 3 times. Part of the reason why I've had a 3 month absence from this blog is simply, I've been uninspired. I've been bogged down by the day to day shittiness that seems to happen in waves, and this wave was a doozy. Between fighting with awesome people like NYC landlords, ConEd and Time Warner, job switches and the <i>constant</i> money woes that come with living in the most expensive city, ever....being a grownup is tough guys. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pretty much I've just felt like a mess. The above sign gets me, they knew I was coming. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've rewrote this post so many times in the last few months simply because no one wants to read someone else whine, I totally get it. I go to blogs to look at pretty outfits and perfectly arranged flowers and cheese plates. But also, I LOVE when the bloggers I follow daily get real...because seriously their lives cannot be THAT awesome can they?! If they are, I would like a trade please and thank you (I'm looking at you <a href="http://www.thelondoner.me/">The Londoner</a>). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I digress. Basically I had to get this post out of my system because as the summer dwindles, it's time to move onward right? While most people try to hang on to every last bit of sunshine and beach time, I'm pretty ready for what the next season will bring. While the summer wasn't all bad (I'm looking at you beautiful solo apartment), it wasn't what I hoped. To start up that inspiration again and not just trudge through the day to day, I've been taking a look back since I've last blogged to remind myself of the few good times this season brought. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So my lack of fashion posts has been for a few good reasons. One, my resident photographer and roomie is alwaysss gone (come back Stephanie!). I need to pin her down and hand her my camera one of these days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two, and way more true, is I've been basically living in workout clothes when I'm not at work (and when I am at work my dress game has been dismal lately). I'm signed up to run a half marathon in Central Park this Sunday so for the last 2 months all my "down" time has been reserved for spin classes and running. That means pretty much the only thing I've been spending money on is workout clothes, which (un)surprisingly has become a new shopping obsession. There's some cute stuff out there!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Besides my big and necessary splurge of new running sneakers, I've been loving the whole Active line by Old Navy. It's super cute, comfortable and most importantly affordable! Especially for those times when you have so much laundry that you go buy new workout clothes ten minutes before spin class....(guilty). Thankfully I don't feel too guilty because I live in their clothes after work and on weekends now, so it's totally worth it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next obsession I will rave about: <a href="http://swervefitness.liveeditaurora.com/">Swerve</a>. Now, I've done spin classes before. Actually Ive done many before moving to NYC and always loved them. However the obsession with Spin in NYC is on a whole different level. There's the SoulCycle and Flywheel cults that Ive avoided simply because they are so hyped here but when Swerve opened LITERALLY across the street from work, it was hard to resist. One class, and I was hooked. I've been doing it pretty much 1-2 times a week for the last few months (my bank account is crying) and it continues to be some of the hardest workouts I've ever experienced. Every class I leave dripping with sweat looking like I just ran 20 miles but feeling amazing. The staff is wonderful and I can't say enough about it. My coworkers are hooked too and I think sadly for us the word has gotten out because the classes are continually getting sold out faster and faster. If you're in NYC, GO TRY IT. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welp, that's all I've got folks. Hopefully after this Sunday when I probably crawl across the finish line I can have my life back! I'm pretty pumped though, not going to lie :) Wish me luck!</span></div>

We loved her so much though and we couldn't be more grateful for having such a wonderful dog all of these years. </span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stay with me the next few weeks as I am pretty behind on posting. These were taken about a month ago when I jumped on the train to escape the city for a few hours and visit my cousin out in the LI 'burbs. It was one of those days that was still very, very grey, but felt warmer than it had in months. My head gets confused on those days and I end up looking like a Crayola box because I just want to wear COLOR. So, the above happens. Yellow jacket, pink shoes. Oh well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was a happy relaxing day full of girl talk, baking, tv and puppy loving. I couldn't do this post without featuring my main man Baxter.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">TGIF friends! Woah, this week was a doozy. I'm not sure what made it feel SO extremely long and just...blah. Nothing exceptionally bad or good happened, it was just one of those weeks where I kind of felt like a hamster in a wheel just running and running with no end in sight. The bitter cold didn't help either. Man March is a tough one.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Does anyone else out there feel like they're in a rut this month? I've been trying my best not to let the winter blues get the best of me. One way I combated a particular dismal day recently was to be spontaneous and book myself a little R + R trip down to Florida*. It might be the only thing getting me through the next few weeks. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, it's been a while since I've posted because honestly, I've been hibernating. These pics were taken on my apartment terrace before the freaking winter blast took over where snow and ridiculous temps have been knocking NYC for weeks. There was a beautiful weekend day when it was still lovely enough to spend time outside without hating your life (I can't wait to experience that again this weekend...yay 50 degrees!).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've had this leather skirt for a while now and I wanted to play down the edginess and make it a little more casual with one of my favorite comfy winter sweaters. Not gonna lie, I'm loving the leather trends at the moment and hope they stay for a while. Makes me feel kinda awesome. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I know I've said it before, and you will surely hear it again, but I really, really love makeup. Though many of my coworkers may disagree with me (it's hard enough getting to work on time in appropriate clothes, forget about hair and makeup), I do love wearing it and trying out new products. I'm constantly reading blog posts about the newest product or a brands line that is blowing up everywhere, and now I've even been lucky enough to integrate it into my work lately (it has made my obsession pretty much skyrocket). Anyway, regardless of the list of new products in my head that grows with every Sephora trip, there ARE a few products that I absolutely love, and find myself actually buying again when it runs out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Hot Mama blush</b>: I actually got this as a sample in a <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/invite/bdkax">Birchbox</a> quite a while ago, and am down to the last particles of dust. It's a perfect peachy/coral-y shade that I think would look good on anyone. It's not too much, but just enough.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Benefit Brow Zings</b>: In my post college years, I've become obsessive with my brows. They can make or break your face. I don't splurge on many beauty appointments, but brows is a different story, I will ONLY go to Benefit Brow Bar now. No matter who I get, they do an awesome job. So no surprise I'm obsessed with their brow kit. </span></div>

Liquid liner is the only way to go, and this one is cheap, simple and looks great.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Amazing Concealer</b>: Last but not least, my number one favorite product. Sadly, I have not been blessed with great skin. I am always stressed and my face likes to let everyone know, especially since moving to NYC. But this stuff, its so concentrated it just takes a tiny dot and will cover anything. I swear by it.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So these were <i>obviously</i> taken before NYC got hammered with extreme snow and cold (I thought I wasn't living upstate anymore...). I got this cape last year while doing a major shopping trip with grandma (see a reoccurring theme here? My grandma has good taste). At first I was doubtful, but now, I'm in love with it. It's so warm and cozy and I love changing up my outwear. Then...there's the boots. I saw <i>these</i> babies while shopping with my mom and was surprised with them. I know, shopping runs in my blood. I'm going to blame it on them, they must have taught me from a young age. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So one of my all-time favorite activities is reading. I slacked big time on the personal reading in college with how much I had to do for class, but ONE positive of getting into the real world is how your free time skyrockets, and I suddenly am back to <i>devouring</i> books. My coworker has helped fuel my reading passion with our constant book swapping, and then of course there's my friend <a href="http://rachaelmtp.com/">Rachael's blog</a>. She actually works in book publishing and reads more than anyone I know, so I'm constantly looking to her for recommendations. I also absolutely love <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5961526-nicole">Goodreads</a> to keep track of all the books on my list! It definitely is more organized than the running note I had in my phone. Anyway since I love getting ideas on what to read next from friends and blogs, I thought I'd share some of my own!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I, like the rest of America, I really enjoyed <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGone-Girl-Gillian-Flynn%2Fdp%2F030758836X%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1389909184%26sr%3D8-1%26keywords%3Dgone%2Bgirl&pid=uid7449-24199643-38&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link">Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn</a> (if you haven't heard of it you've been living under a rock). I had heard similarly good things about her other books so I went for it. Well, this one is decidedly darker than Gone Girl. Basically it's taking me a while to get through it simply because I have to be in a certain mindset to read this book, because it is VERY disturbing. Admittedly I'm wimpier than most, but the title is pretty accurate. I'm sure the ending will be a doozey knowing Flynn, so Ill be sure to report back. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Monday! </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Man, this is going to be a rough one. Between it being the first full week of work in what seems like forever, and the weather being downright <i><b>awful</b></i>, I'm pretty sure it's going to be iffy on my mental survival rate this week. The winter blues is real guys (all comments of encouragement welcome this week).</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, what better way to pep up a dreary day than with a super fun outfit? I feel like this is one of those outfits that people would describe as "Nicole". I'm a sucker for this kind of cut dress with a fun print...and well hot pink heels is <i>kind of</i> a no-brainer. Someone recently said this dress reminded them that sometimes I dress like Jess from New Girl. While I'm not sure that is a total compliment, I had to agree with them on the dress. Though, hopefully the added necklace bling and leather jacket made it a tad-less New Girl-ish. She's pretty hilarious though so I'm still ok with it.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope everyone survives the continued crazy weather!</span></center>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">OK, so....here we go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ever since I've started this little blog I've wanted to do some outfit posts. I never wanted to turn the whole thing into outfits because I like to write and post about so many other things, but somethings I <i>really</i> do love in life are clothes. The only problem is (well there were several problems): a. I didn't have anyone to take my pictures. This has been solved by feeding my lovely roommate coffee from DD and cajoling her outside to play photographer. She did so well! b. It's kinda weird taking photos of your outfits! I read sooo many blogs everyday and love to see what they're wearing, but when you do it yourself it's super easy to doubt yourself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2014 is all about what I want to do however. So, I think it's fun, and I hope you like it too! (all like...ten people that read this little blog of mine :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anywhooo, enough with the rambling. Basically it comes down to I'm obsessed with this jacket. It's my first "big girl jacket" and I can't stop loving it. I eyed it while Black Friday shopping with my Mama and just couldn't stop admiring. The perfect burgundy, leather sleeves and gold accents...ah I wanted. Sadly with my funds I had to pass it up, but because my Mom is the number one best mom in the world, and she appreciates some amazing clothing as much as I do, she surprised me with it on Christmas!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Who needs anything else when you have a fabulous jacket?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, what do you think...continue with some outfit posts?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ah 2013. Another year gone, and man that went fast.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the first day of 2014 is already almost over, (and Facebook decided to delete this video on me. gr.), just thought I'd take a look back. While it was honestly a pretty non-eventful year, I did try and fill it with some fun moments (and apparently a whole lot of hairstyles!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have a list of things I'd like to fill 2014 with, but for now I'm going to keep them in my head. I AM excited however to let go of silly people and silly things in life and make it all about me...because hey, that's what being 25, single and living in Manhattan is all about right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's to another year and making it ten time more eventful than the last! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welcome 2014.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Man do I love jewels. I mean, I walk into a store and anything that is bejeweled is like a magnet drawing me in. Combine that with my two very favorite colors, hot pink (obviously) and cobalt blue, and it <i>appears</i> I've found the perfect dress. Don't forget how lovely the classic black is either. I've never heard of this website before but it seems I might need to do some research....for my readers sake. Of course. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is just something I love about inspiring quotes. Anyone that reads this little blog knows that as I've posted them many, many times. My Pinterest is always probably a little too overrun with words turned into images, but it's what I love. So, when The Everygirl (one of my daily read sites, I'm in love) opened up a shop aspect of their site a few weeks ago, I knew I was going to love it. They've always taken the women they do life features on and pinpointed inspiring things they've said, and now I can take one of my all time favorites and hang it where I can see it everyday.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been eyeing this print since it came out, and I can't wait to splurge sometime soon and make it mine. Not only is it in my current favorite black&gold combo, but it's a reminder that I need lately. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not sure what has hit me lately, but all I can think about is decorating an apartment. I'm just aching for my own space that is more than a bedroom (even if that means a one room loft like above) that I can decorate entirely with things I love. I'm constantly pinning apartment images that inspire me and I have so many items in my head to buy once I finally, someday get this coveted space. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am obviously drawn to a distinct (albeit extremely</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> girly) style and these are just some of the images that I want to draw from. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have so many ideas in my head that I just want them to become a reality! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyone that knows me knows I am the girliest girl. Bring on the sparkles, pink, glitter, and <i>especially </i>tulle. I'm guessing my mom first got me into dance class all of those years ago with the promise of multiple tutus. So, of course I have been drooling lately as I've seen some of my favorite bloggers break out the tulle skirts for every day life, when most people keep that in the dance studio. Actually, ever since anthropologie released it's infamous and VERY coveted white tulle skirt last season (<a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-skirts/A26107219.jsp" target="_blank">with a similar one out this season</a>), I've been drooling. It's good to know the trend hasn't faded because I am SO on board.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturday I was excited to hear from my cousin, Melissa, the news that there was a street fair outside her apartment. The street fairs are everywhere in NYC during the summer, but the fact that it happened to be soooo close to both of us, well we had to indulge. After some shopping, fried pickles, kettle corn and more, I called it a day and headed home to start the packing process. Hey, at least I made good use of my break :)</span></div>
