Hi lovelies,

Who walks in L.A.? This stylish chick! Coming from NYC and now living in Los Angeles, I still love walking from shop-to-shop and cafe-to-cafe.

Luckily for me, Mephisto just celebrated 50 years of creating iconic shoes! Get the insider scoop below!

“International footwear brand Mephisto – with a rich history spanning 50 years – hosted a VIP event last night, Thursday, October 11th to celebrate its cult-classic walking shoe, Mephisto Originals and to launch its 4-day Pop-up on Melrose Avenue.

The event was held in the pop-up, adjacent to iconic destination for sneakerheads and celebrities, Sportie LA, located at 7763 Melrose Ave and the adjoining parking lot, infamous for its influencer appeal due to its iconic murals.

The event, titled “#Mephistowalks” was designed to poke fun at the age-old presumption that Angelinos don’t walk. It brought together a slew of Influencers and industry VIP’s who were treated to a special gifting suite experience, which included an interactive room whereby a unique greenscreen treadmill feature had guests producing their own mini ‘walking films’ in their new Mephisto Originals shoes for social media.

3 Fashion Blogger Tips for a Stylish Summer

Hi lovelies,

It’s officially Memorial Day Weekend, which means that summer is about to officially kick-off!

If you’re ready to unleash your inner fashionista while soaking up some sun, living poolside, and making lasting memories with your friends and family, then check out my top three style must-haves to have your most stylish summer yet.

#1: Have your go-to summer style uniform

I always love layering, even in the summer. My go-to summer style uniform is black tights, denim cut-offs, a black tank top, black studded heels, and a printed kimono.

---

#2: Have your go-to signature sunglasses

One of my favorite accessories to complete any outfit is a pair of signature shades. This summer, I’m obsessed with the iconic Aviator silhouette by Ray-Ban.

---

#3: Have your go-to sunscreen

We all want that bronze and golden glow, but we have to make sure to protect our skin from sun damage, lines, wrinkles, and aging, by layering up with a sunscreen that leaves your skin smooth and protected without any oily, flaky, or white residue.

My favorite sunscreen for summer has to be Supergoop Super Power Mousse SPF 50.

How to Get Red Carpet Ready with On Location Glam and Tobi

Hi lovelies,

The other night I had the pleasure of celebrating the launch of On Location Glam, for its Los Angeles debut. This amazing beauty service is available in both Hong Kong and L.A. and it provides luxury beauty, hair, and makeup services directly to you. You can get glam whether you’re at-home, at a hotel, at the office, or on-the-go.

What sets On Location Glam apart from other mobile beauty and hair services, is that On Location Glam prides itself in offering a luxury, glam experience that starts with one-on-one consultations for a customized experience.

The service is so elegant that there’s only a concierge experience available, meaning that there’s no app and you must email or call to set-up appointments which adds a very classy touch to the overall experience.

Since the launch of On Location Glam was highly anticipated by its elite clientele, I knew that I had to bring my ‘A game’ when it came to walking the red carpet. I decided to wear my signature Kate Spade black tights, a vintage brown leather bag, and a Tobi Alexa Lace Skater Dress.

For my makeup, I opted for a black cat eye using Cleopatra Eye Stamp by Lyda Beauty and a rose blush on my cheeks by Physician’s Formula. I trusted my lips to Maybelline’s Vivid Hot Lacquer.

I felt extra confident walking the red carpet for the glamorous night of makeup, hair, eyelash extensions, bubbly, and more, because my dress fit me perfectly and the lace detail added an extra flair of femininity and glamour.

So if you need to get red carpet ready, trust your hair and makeup to On Location Glam and your wardrobe to Tobi.

Why You Should Join The "Our Son Trayvon" Movement With Liberated People

Hi lovelies,

Back when I lived in New York City, I had the pleasure of meeting the critically acclaimed actor and director Gbenga Akinnagbe. Not only was he very gracious, he was also extremely passionate about a new apparel line that he was starting called Liberated People. 

Liberated People has grown and expanded from it's roots as a t-shirt line honoring the dates of when colonized countries regained their freedom, to truly being the voice of a movement and inspiring people to get involved and act in social change and justice.

One of it's current missions is to raise awareness and funds for the Trayvon Martin Foundation with 15 % of all sales of the "Our Son Trayvon" hoodie being donated to the foundation. 

To join in the movement, you can get a hoodie for yourself, your friends, your family, and your community, here, and become a part of their goal to selling 5,000 hoodies in order to raise $50,000 dollars for the Trayvon Martin Foundation.

About Nicole Frank:
Nicole Frank began her journey into the world of fashion at a young age. She was raised in California by a family of strong, smart women with superb style and careers in film, modeling and fashion. With a desire to create her own business in fashion, Nicole went on to the University of Southern California where she graduated from the esteemed entrepreneur program. In her first business venture, she began manufacturing handbags for women and children. She drew inspiration from the females in her family whose style was rooted in the 1960’s and 70’s. Nicole was enamored by the chic, effortless ensembles and elegant aesthetic of the era. In 2015, after years of working in the industry and becoming a mother, Nicole realized that there was a need for the busy, hardworking woman to find a smarter and more sophisticated way of dressing. Like many modern women, her daily uniform consisted of yoga pants, shirts and tailored blazers as these pieces supported her active lifestyle. She was inspired to create and evolve a woman’s wardrobe with an activewear collection that would meet the visual, technical and physical demands of modern day society and thus, the Nicole Frank collection was born. Using high performance and quality fabrics with moisture wicking and breathable technology, each item in the collection is designed to seamlessly take you from day to night. With a range of versatile, customizable and ready to wear pieces accompanied with high quality fabrics and luxurious zip-ons, the opportunities to showcase your personal style is endless.

Disney x Kiehl's x Feeding America

Hi lovelies,

The brunch with #DISNEYxKIEHLS was one of my most heart-warming experiences of the year.  We learned how Feeding America provides millions of meals a year to those in need and we were able to give back by preparing meals for an LA food bank today.

I also got to catch up with my Disney Style family, whom I love dearly and we learned how to draw the iconic Mickey Mouse. Read below for the full scoop.

Disney x Kiehl’s

Holiday collection featuring Disney’s Mickey Mouse will help Kiehl’s donate $100,000 to Feeding America®. Collaboration helps to provide 1,100,000 meals to families in need this holiday season

New York, Oct. 16, 2017- Kiehl’s Since 1851, the 166-year-old purveyor of the finest skincare, is proud to announce its collaboration with Disney this holiday season, for a collection featuring Mickey Mouse, one of the world’s most beloved luminaries.

Part of this one-of-a-kind collaboration furthers the company’s support of organizations that work to help children and their families thrive: Kiehl’s is proud to announce that select items from the Disney x Kiehl’s collection will make up the 9 th Annual Limited Edition Charitable Holiday Collection. Continuing its holiday philanthropic tradition, Kiehl’s pledges 100% of its net profits of this collection, up to $100,000, to Feeding America® , the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity. This donation will help provide 1,100,000 meals* to families this holiday.

As part of its commitment to creating healthier generations, Disney also has also been a longtime supporter of Feeding America, by expanding nationwide access to nutritious foods, including fruits and vegetables, in communities where kids and families need it most.

The Disney x Kiehl’s charitable products will include a Mickey Mouse-adorned whipped body butter, a scented hand cream trio, a gift box, and a tin, all which benefit Feeding America. With a presence in all 50 states and Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, Feeding America’s nationwide network of 200 member food banks support 60,000 food assistance programs, shelters and meal sites. Each year, Feeding America’s network provides meals and resources to over 46 million people in the United States struggling with food insecurity, including nearly 12 million children. The Feeding America network secures and distributes 4 billion meals annually.

“More than 41 million people in the United States face hunger, including 13 million children and 5.7 million seniors. Feeding America is grateful for the ongoing support of our partners at Kiehl’s and thank them for their creativity and commitment to helping people in need,” said Nancy Curby, Senior Vice President, Corporate Partnerships & Operations at Feeding America. “We are excited to continue our partnership with the generous and incredibly heartwarming Disney x Kiehl’s collaboration, which will help provide more than 1,100,000 meals to children and families this holiday season.”

One of the world’s most beloved icons, Mickey Mouse made his debut on November 18, 1928, as star of the first synchronized sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, and has remained a sensation ever since. Mickey has become an international personality whose success laid the foundation upon which Walt Disney built his creative organization. Mickey is one of the most timeless originals of our culture and times. His beaming face is recognized around the globe, and his endearing personality has captured the imagination of generations, spanning almost 90 years.

*$1 helps provide 11 meals* secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.

Sears Wish Book x Holiday Shopping

“This post was sponsored by Sears as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.”

Hi lovelies,

Three of my favorite holiday traditions is popping buttery popcorn, making hot cocoa with extra marshmallows, and bringing joy to my family, friends, and loved ones. Letting the Sears Wish Book be my holiday shopping guide allows me to honor all three traditions right from the comfort of my cozy couch.

While sipping on my hot cocoa and enjoying my buttery popcorn, I’m now ready to dive into the Sears Wish Book so I can see the smile on my family and friends faces when they unwrap their holiday presents.

The Sears Wish Book contains 120 pages of fashion finds, home decor items, workshop and outdoor pieces, home gym items, kitchenware and appliances, bathroom essentials, toys, games, and so much more. It pretty much has something for everyone on my list from my stylish bestie that lives in New York to my nephew that loves football and lives in Atlanta.

What I also love about using the Sears Wish Book as my holiday shopping guide is that it de-stresses the holiday shopping experience. When I shop at the stores, I sometimes get overwhelmed by the crowds and sales people. Plus, with the surge of shoppers during the holiday season, the clothes, items, and pieces are usually picked over or not in stock.

The Sears Wish Book ensures that my gift choices are high-quality, not picked over, and I can shop without the anxiety of facing large crowds which frees up my time and energy to really enjoy my holiday shopping experience. I can also shop on-the-go from my phone with the Sears app and online, here.

I also can’t get enough of their first-ever Holiday Blowout Sale, which is a month-long promotion with 10-50% off everything at Sears starting now through November 25th.

If you’re a member of ‘Shop Your Way,’ then you can get exclusive access to amazing deals and promos that include, up to:

• 50% off Tools

• 50% off Recliners

• 50% off Patio Furniture and Accessories

• 40% off Appliances

• 40% off Clothing for Her, Him and Kids

• 40% off Footwear

• 20% off Fitness Equipment and Accessories

So pop some popcorn and sip on some hot cocoa and get your holiday shopping done, stress-free here.

And in the meantime, you can SHOP my favorite holiday gift choices from the Sears Wish Book below:
