Egg Shop

This morning I went to Egg Shop with a very good friend of mine to catch up and have some birthday drinks. Yes, it is the a.m., but who says I can't have a mimosa? Also it wouldn't be complete if we did not order an overwhelming amount of food that does not fit the small table we were seated at. It feels so New York to do breakfast at a place called Egg Shop, which has everything an assorted egg an "egg shop" would need. Of course, being the fashion person that I am, I had to order the avocado toast because 1. avocados are everything and 2. wouldn't they photograph so well on Instagram? The vibe of the whole place is very homey and the food is timely, flavorful and well presented. The staff are friendly and have good personality. If you are an egg eating human being, I would definitely check out Egg Shop.   

P.S. Of course I had to dress up for breakfast so here is also my outfit. Details will be listed below. 

Trench Coat: Uniqlo

Sweater: Gifted to me

Pants: Newlook via Asos

Shoes: Zara

Scarf: Club Monaco

Hat: Zara

Bag: Mango 

Lifestyle Review: Calia by Carrie Underwood

I am apart of the fit fam as we would say. I am a yoga instructor, dancer and gym bunny. I am also a girl who likes to dress up and look her best. So when combining the two to go to a yoga or dance studio or even the gym, I have to look cute, yet practical. I want to work my hardest to get the results I want, but I also want to look my best because (weirdly enough and I hope that other fashion gym bunnies will understand) it motivates me to train even harder. I know it may sound a little weird to some as to why I want to look nice when I'm going to sweat buckets, but to me it makes me feel a little more confident in myself. 

A fitness apparel brand that I have just discovered literally 2 days ago is Calia by Carrie Underwood. I was perusing in Dick's Sporting Goods and literally was stopped in my footsteps because everything caught my eye to my extreme delight. Her brand is all about being stylish to and from and in the gym, studio or class. It has little details that a fashion blogger and detail oriented person would love. For example, the stylist paired an open back sweater with a strappy detailed sports bra in the Calia shoot; there are so many layering options with Carrie's line that it makes it fun to get dressed to go to the gym. There is a level of design to her clothing that is well thought out, such as her moto leggings. They look both stylish like regular moto pants with the ribbed detail in the knee, but they perform like performance leggings that you can train in. The price for her clothing (for the fit, quality and design) is reasonable. It is not Lululemon or Sweaty Betty prices, but it is definitely not Target prices either. My tip is spot the sales because they are usually very good and a bargain. 

Her accessories are also great, such as her blanket scarf. It is not only soft and comfortable, but it is not thing and dinky so that it will make you look stylist, yet make you freeze your little bottom off. It is thick, warm and looks great. Her gym bags are stylist and not to mention have rose gold hardware, which many a girl will delight in. 

I give Calia by Carrie Underwood a thumbs up for their effort in design and attention to detail. Look forward to going and purchasing a couple of pieces soon.

Creative Meeting Attire and Greecologies Review

As a creative, I dress myself to express my individuality. But there are times when, even as a creative, one must dress appropriate for the occasion. Taking an example out of my daily life, I had a meeting for an upcoming photoshoot that I will be apart of and I had to dress for, not only the location, but also for the individuals attending the meeting. Even if it is your good friend, it is better to dress well and professional to show that there is a level of professionalism. 

Since it is a creative meeting amongst friends, I dressed myself polite enough so that if onlookers were watching, that they would know we meant business but at the same time kept my flair and sense of style in the game. If you want a look book on professional outfits to wear to the office, while still looking stylist, I am more than happy to do a post specifically on that topic. Just leave a comment down below, I am all ears. 

On a different note, the cafe in which I had my meeting was simply divine. The name of the place is called Greecologies and they serve greek style yogurt along with something called butter coffee, which I had to order. I ordered the Maca butter coffee, which I thought was very rich, buttery (of course) and flavorful. For those who like creamer in their coffee, try butter coffee. Literally no creamer needed, its fatty enough I promise. If you're ever in Little Italy in New York, go and have a look.
