Weekly Favorite: Christian Louboutin's (Nude)

Hi! Nude shoes are big and probably are here to stay. Christian Louboutin has embraced the world by introducing something that few designers have caught on to- we are not all the same 'nude'. His 5 shades are a wide spectrum to complement each woman's shade. I picked up a pair in Paris last fall when they debuted and I love them.

Christian Louboutin's are available at christianlouboutin.com and select boutiques worldwide. 

The much anticipated full nude line comes to the US early this year.

God Bless,

Weekly Favorite: Black Lipstick

Hi! I love black. Even more than green. Seriously. So I am tempted to try this black lipstick. It's on the way but I want to share it as my weekly favorite. It's not a Halloween thing. I don't celebrate Halloween but it's a style thing. I will let you know how it turns out. This color is called 'Pristine' by Illamasqua and is sold at Bloomingdale's for $29. Let me know what you think! 

Weekly Favorite: Hermès bracelet

Hi! There are a couple of things that are statement pieces for people. For some it's a house, some have a fancy car, some have a really nice bag or engagement ring. For me, my favorite piece this week is my Hermès bracelet that I got in Paris. I could've bought it anywhere. There is a Hermès store 3 blocks from my job. But, I preferred to hold out and buy mine from the original flagship location in France. It means that much more to me from the actual House of Hermès at 24 rue du Fabourg - St. Honorè.

Remember not to get too attached to 'stuff'. In the end you can't take it with you so wear it now!

Weekly Favorite: Breville Juicer

Hi! Ever watch that movie 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead'? It's pretty life changing. It's on Netflix. After watching that, my husband and I invested in a Breville Juicer. We purchased the compact one because the regular one was monstrous. This baby is pretty powerful. It juices entire fruits. I just rinse and disintegrate. It's awesome. Mind your portions and combos though because you could make some great tasting juice and some absolutely disgusting juice. 

Typical green juice is 1/2 cucumber, 2 celery stalks, kale, 2 apples, a small piece of ginger and 1/2 lemon. I am not going to say 'yum' but I will say its healthy.

Honestly, my favorite thing to juice is 4 pears. Love it! This week I am fasting for personal reasons for 3 days and it entails juicing only. Busting out the Breville.

God Bless,

Weekly Favorite: Chanel Nail Colour

Hi! One of my favorite things is my Chanel nail polish. It just makes me feel good to walk into Chanel and buy something (regularly)! Some colors are limited edition and absolutely amazing like 'Duwalli', a very brilliant gold. Others are regular classics like 'Peridot'. I'm partial, it's my birthstone liquified.

In any case, I display them in this cute acrylic casing amongst my other polish. It's fun to play with colors and see how they spice up an outfit. It's an inexpensive way to brighten up a LBD or help you look well put together and polished in a suit. I don't gel, I Chanel.

*Fashion Tip: I usually change into running clothes, paint my nails and dry them during a quick run. It's multitasking at its best.

Weekly Favorite: Multi purpose wipes

Hi! I know what you're thinking: Green has lost it. Follow me for a second...

Do you buy facial wipes?

Do you buy soft toilet paper?

Do you spill makeup on your clothes accidentally?

Do you sanitize your hands before you eat?

Do you have a baby?

Do you use expensive make up remover?

Did you realize that wipes support ALL of the above? Well, there you go! I just gave you 7 reasons to be a believer.

I'm done. Buy in bulk and carry a small travel pack. 

For more reasons ask me on twitter @greenshareen

Weekly Favorite: iPhone Knuckle Case

Hi! Last year for my birthday a dear friend gave me this case- love ensued! This isn't just a weekly favorite, it's one of my favorite things of all times. I use it for nights out and even work when I'm feeling a bit testy. I get tons of compliments and while I don't know where this exact one is from, I can tell you I've seen it online at www.knucklecase.com for different models and in a variety of colors.

Funky & functional!

Weekly Favorite: Passport Stamps

Hi! Yes, one of my favorite things are stamps in my passport. They give me a sense of accomplishment. Did you know that every time you see something new or different your soul prospers? It's true. So here is my latest: 

That says 'Bon Bini Na' which means 'Welcome' in Papimiento (native language in Aruba.) My passport was officially full of stamps two months ago and I was happy but also sad that I have to start all over again. Then, I found this cute DIY on thenest.com. You can frame pages from your passport on wooden blocks and present them in your home. Luckily I just renewed so I can chop up my old one and I did pay for additional pages in this new passport.

Here is to a full life and a full passport.

Weekly Favorite: Travel Size Stuff

Hi! I have a small obsession for travel sized items. I always have extra on hand and am able to share with others. I pretty much never have to buy items for a trip because I have a small stock of everything. Here is what I packed for my trip this week:

Contacts

Renu Contact Solution

Vaseline

Facial Cream

Q-Tips

Degree deodorant

Baby Powder

Nail Polish*

Sexy Little Things Splash & Lotion

Bliss Facial Soap

Bliss Conditioner

Bliss Shampoo

Bliss Body Butter

Baby Wipes

Listerine

Loofah (mini)

Toothbrush & toothpaste

Charmin To Go

*Nail polish is a fun way to keep your vacation look complete. I am NOT into chipped polish and this is super easy to travel with. Here's what I do: I start the trip with a light color like Chanel 'Distraction' or Essie 'Come Here' then 2 days in I paint over with another color like Essie 'More the Merrier' and towards the end when that is chipping, top it with glitter! For this trip, I opted for Julep 'Gold glitter'. Then when I get home, I have my manicurist take it off! :)

She is 8 months old now and has graduated from Puppy Kindergarten. She enjoys cool water, (NY's finest), treats from Wellness and most of her clothing is American Apparel

Meet Luxe Alessandra. We just call her Luxe.

Weekly Favorite: 4th of July iPhone Case

Hi! This week my favorite thing is a hot 4th of July iPhone case. It has 6 stars and 2 stripes and something about it is quite artistic and pretty classy. It's made by Uncommon Goods. Mine is for the iPhone 5 and looks best on the white phone in my opinion. Happy 4th.

Weekly favorite: Reflective shoes

Hi! I know this sounds weird but everyone loves these and everyone loved when MJ rocked it. These are Cole Haan Argento Reflecto Oxfords. 

The magic happens when light or flash hits it.

Yup, that happened. So if you ever want to really stop traffic- snatch up a pair of these. This is definitely my weekly favorite for this half rain/half shine weather in NYC this week.

Weekly favorite: Color Coded Apps

Hi! If you love color like I do, you'll get a kick out of this one. I organized my apps by color so that it's more visually appealing. Do it quick before iOS 7 and all of the icons change! 😁 Also, watch for updates... Sometimes they change the app color on a dime. Enjoy.

God Bless,
