About Me

My photo
I have always loved everything related with Fashion and in the last 5-10 years I have become even more interested in how fashion and technology can work together. In 2004 I started a web site selling designer bags and apparel for less, and in 2008 I took some time off to have kids. I have now launched the first ever NYC sample Sale APP that notifies the user of any and all sample sales/major retail sales within 1 mile of the user's location. User's can let the APP tell them where they can save up to 80% on all their favorite brands like, Prada, Fendi, DVF, Theory and so much more.

Cool hotel in Austin






The first picture is a cupcake truck! we just loved the idea of all these food trucks we saw in Austin. We also see a lot in NYC but there was a certain charm to the ones in Austin. So cute!
We stayed at a hotel called San Jose and it was decorated really uniquely and was just the perfect size boutique hotel. They have a little bit larger hotel called St. Cecilia that's a bit more expensive but equally as cool.
It was ridiculously HOT in Texas I mean like 105 degrees so it was great having a pool at the hotel even if it was small.


Fashion in Flight-The Collective Austin, TX 8/19/10



























So much to tell! We arrived home from Texas on Sunday and it has taken almost 5 days to get everyone back on schedule and for me to finally be able to sit down and write on this blog.
Austin went well and I have tons of pictures to share. My company NYCchic.com had a booth at the event and even had 2 bags featured in the show. We were also a sponsor so hopefully people will remember NYCchic.com and eventually purchase a bag.

We actually left the kids with my parents in Dallas and it was great to finally sleep through the night without any interruptions. Since we don't really have anyone to babysit on a regular basis we took full advantage and stayed an extra day in Austin to just lounge around, go to the pool, and have long dinners. Take a look at the pictures from the event, Austin, and the cool hotel we stayed at.

Back to Life!


It's been a while since I've written anything. I had a baby girl on April 4th and for the first 5-6 weeks she was very colicky. There are very few things that are worse than a baby crying all night however everything is much better now and she's a doll! She's only 4 months and sleeps through the night so couldn't ask for much more.

As a way to jump start my business NYCchic.com is a sponsor for Austin's very first Fashion Week which will take place August 16-20. The handbags from NYCchic.com will be featured in the show and we will also have a booth so people can purchase handbags as well. Looking forward to seeing all the new and up and coming designers from Texas.

Just had a baby!




On Sunday April 4th at 4PM our little girl Adriana was born. This birth wasn't as bad as my son's which took almost 36 hours of labor before he was born. The past week has been filled with late night feedings, catching up on sleep, and trying to organize the day with two kids now. In some sense it's a bit easier because you're not as cautious about everything but on the other hand dealing with a toddler and a newborn on totally different schedules is difficult at times. At least my 2 year old goes to daycare during the day! I have to say I don't know how the SAHM do it with all the kids at home and with no help. It's the most exhausting task there is! I used to be a real estate agent and when I started I would literally be walking around NYC in the heat and bitter cold taking clients to see cheap apartments that had no elevators and were sometimes 4-5 flight walk ups. I thought there was nothing more tiring than that but I was wrong, being with kids all day is 10 times more exhausting! At least when I got home from work I could put my feet up and go to bed without being woken up several times throughout the night. Ahhhh to sleep straight through the night.... I don't even remember what that's like.

Alright enough complaining... I will try and write at least once a week if not more. In the meantime here's some cute pics of "baby sissy!"

sex and the city part deux!

I loved Sex and the City when it was on HBO and loved seeing the first movie. Having lived in NYC since I was 18 I enjoy seeing certain restaurants and locations in New York that I have either been to or definitely recognize.
Love seeing all the fashion on the girls especially the handbags and shoes! I am planning a girl's night out on May 28th even though I will have newborn on my hands and a toddler but oh well I think my hubby can handle it for one night right?!

Make sure when you do your girl's night you put on your high heels i.e Manolos! I still have some that have I never worn and are collecting dust so a good excuse to bring them out.

Perfect White Tod's Handbag for summer



I love Tod's handbags especially the classic Tod's D Media bag in white and tan. Classic colors and classic bag for any mom who wants a bit of luxury in her life. This bag is a bit expensive at $785 (Retail $1,300) but worth every penny as it will last season after after season. White and tan are staple colors as is the this Tod's bag and will virtually go with almost any outfit. The leather is very durable and easy to wipe off stains. All hubbies out there should treat their wives to this bag for mother's day.
