On my mind: Learning to ask for what you really want can be one of the most challenging concepts when trying not to offend, or overstep boundaries. This could be asking for a raise, asking for clarity, or simply asking for help, it comes up everyday, and isn’t going anywhere.
*On My Paws *
I read a lot of reviews about the Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab kit before purchasing it a few days ago, and to be honest it exceeded my expectations. I feel really undone without a nice mani, but it really is a little excessive to get one once a week, at about $25 a pop here in NYC. In College, I taught myself how to do my own nails pretty well, being secluded in the mountains it became my one thing to regain my sanity. The kit is DIY and really easy to use. Buy This Now.

BFF with the most swag Kerrin
The Air
Kerrin and I are both in the midst of navigating what we call, “big girl jobs,” and the financial realities of living in NYC as a young person. Someone once said to me NYC is for the young and the rich. Being just young, were working on the rich part, but having an oversized Acne wearing soul sister doesn’t hurt on my way to figuring that out.

Love Is In the Air at Spring Haute Couture <3
/Chanel Spring 2014 Couture Collection
As the snow falls here on the streets of New York City, so too do the spring 2014 couture collections in Paris. Most notably for me this a.m. was waking up to images of Chanel. The pastel creations paired with sneakers, (tying back to my “Sneaking Away From Heels in 2014,”) were more than inspired. The collection was wearable, romantic, and dreamy, just enough to make one forget the snowfall. Xxx

Channeling Chanel Beauty
I’m really in love with the Chanel Couture beauty looks for Spring. It was refreshing to see the cat-eye, a makeup trend thats been around forever, (and put on the maps most memorably by Bridget Bardot,) get a much needed update paired with the bottom- lid glitter liner! Try it on your own with this pick from Sephora!

Spring Pastel Perfection
In the sprit of the spring shows, here are some easy pastel looks from T by Alexander Wang available on shopbop.com, to update your wardrobe for the coming months. I love the idea of light pastels, paired with your favorite leather and biker boots or sneaks. It's instantly "model off duty," relaxed and effortlessly chic.

An Urban Gypsy Princess

A polaroid of the "Trill Gypsy Princess" herself
Founder of CATiD Kerrin Smith leaves a trail of glitter and inspired similes in her wake, on a grander mission to inspire the masses to be “Cool and Thoughtful,” through her business CATID. She successfully practices a lifestyle of accountability and thoughtful interaction regarding the fashion world as her custom one of a kind shirt brand grows. Kerrin lives and breathes what she preaches, and I had the most amazing tea at the Jane Hotel with the self proclaimed “Urban gypsy princess”. From her glitter half moon mani, down to the lace biker shorts, she has always lived up to the title, looking eternally chic and inspired. But what is CATiD? Kerrin describes it best on her website sighting, “CATiD is a project committed to causing a shift from passive consumerism to responsible global citizenship. Rooted in core principles of recognizing interdependence, being accountable, and valuing peace, CATiD looks to spark a second shift from fashion as a medium of exclusion to a medium of inclusion”.

Half-moon Glitter Mani
The brand is growing at an astonishing pace for a young newcomer but I would expect nothing less from someone so committed to making a fashion change. Huge brand collaborations are in the works for this New York Jolie, and I can’t wait to witness the trail of glitter she leaves behind. The first collection of shirts is two shirts away from being sold out on CATid.net’s boutique (link below), and her next line will start production sometime in January. I was lucky enough to get one of the last pieces from the collection, and will forever cherish the hand written tags, custom designed bag, and Harley embellished tee that carries its own story, all documented in its packaging. A special brand and an equally special girl! Get your very own tee here on CATiD
