Product Review: Bloom Lipgloss

I recently had the chance to try this amazing lip gloss by Bloom. It comes in array of yummy flavors and colors. It is the perfect texture. Not too sticky and not too high gloss. It adds wonderful color to my lips and doesn't chap them at all. I can't get enough! Highly recommended.Fashion Plate Blog

Earrings by Plume of The Banquet Brooklyn

I am loving the lavishness and decadence of these earrings by Plume. The gold and diamond cascades remind me of another era one with more style and grace. While the studs can be worn daily adding just the right touch of glamour for any outfit. Available at The Banquet (formerly Council) in Brooklyn.Fashion Plate Blog

Swimsuits by Volcom

As the weather gets nicer (almost 70 here in NYC today) my thoughts turn to the beach. And what I need this summer is a kick-ass bathing suit. What I look for in a bathing suit; #1 it has to be flattering, #2 not too skimpy, #3 I have to be able to be active in it paddle tennis, swimming, volleyball etc. I recently came across the Volcom swimsuits from their new summer line. Here are two of my favorites from the collection. I really like this black one-piece. Sometimes one pieces can be too conservative especially in the back, covering up too much area. This one-piece by Volcom though has a really adorable back with criss-cross straps and just the right amount of coverage in the front as well. And I really like the geometric interest of the two different strips on this two-piece. Although you can also get a matching small striped bottom if you prefer. Check out the collection on Volcom for more styles.Fashion Plate Blog

What to Wear Now: Spring Scarves

My favorite thing to accessorize with right now is a light weight gauzy scarf. It adds just a bit of coziness on a chilly spring morning and looks chic throughout the day. For inspiration I thought I would share these images by Madewell 1937. I think they did a good job pairing scarves with these spring time looks.Fashion Plate Blog

Spring - It's All About White

After many months of dark colors since the spring has sprung I am totally infatuated with the color white. White jeans, the perfect white t-shirt, and dressy white sandals are all on my shopping list this month.Fashion Plate Blog
