<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #454545;">one of the most important parts of your look that pulls it all together. The possibilities are endless and so many different options to consider. From glamorous up-do’s with tiaras as headpieces to classic chignons with hair clips, there are tons to choose from. I know how overwhelming it can be so I have chosen some of my favorite hair accessories from </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2lFvDDT" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: purple;">David's Bridal </span></i></a><span style="color: #454545;">that I think would compliment any dress and veil for the big day. I have also broken down my top 3 tips for finding the perfect hair accessory for your wedding style. </span></span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><b>Tip #1: Choose your hairstyle</b></i></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Choosing your hairstyle is key. It determines the type of hair accessory you choose for the day. If you opt in for a voluminous up-do, you want to make sure the hair accessories you choose are heavier with a comb to be more secure. If you choose to leave it down with loose waves, you can opt in for a more boho-chic accessory that’s flirty and feminine.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Choosing a hairstyle for the wedding has almost been as challenging as choosing my bridal dress BUT - I think I’m sorted now and can’t wait! These two hairstyles I am sharing with you today were two top contenders and I wanted to share how I would style different accessories. I opted in for loose waves and a glam long ponytail for a fun reception look. If you plan to have multiple hairstyles, you want to make sure both are easy to transition into one another. For example, loose beachy waves can be tucked in for a fun ponytail but it would be more difficult to create a clean chignon after loose waves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">LOOSE WAVES:</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Something about loose waves is effortless and always looks stunning on any bride. It’s also an easy hairstyle to transition into a second look with. I love this 3D flower crown from David's Bridal we chose for this finished look. The clusters of pearls and flowers add a fun and flirty element to your whole look. You can wear this as a headband or remove the ribbon to wear as a hair vine.</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love a full glam look and wanted to try pulling my hair back into a voluminous ponytail. It’s elegant with a few strands in the front that frame your face. I accessories this look with flower spray hair pins from David's Bridal but have linked several favorites that will match perfectly your luxurious locks.</span></div>

Whether you have always known the exact details of what your future dress entails or never thought about it until you got engaged, finding your dream gown can be stressful. It’s probably one of the most expensive pieces you will own and a dress you have never tried on before.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since I am located in Los Angeles, I started browsing dresses at local bridal salons to narrow down what styles I liked but I wasn’t finding a dress that I <i>loved</i>. Having a design background made it more challenging when it came to aesthetic because I found myself wanting to alter various design details. I tried on dresses out of my comfort zone and dresses that I thought were the </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-decoration: underline;"><i>one</i></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #454545;"> but didn’t work out. As I received the great news and became one of </span><a href="http://www.theknot.com/" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: purple;">The Knot</span></i></a><span style="color: #454545;"> magazine’s ambassadors for 2019, I decided to use my next upcoming trip to New York as an opportunity to visit the infamous </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-decoration: underline;"><i><a href="https://www.kleinfeldbridal.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">Kleinfeld </span></a></i></span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">store. <i><a href="https://www.kleinfeldbridal.com/" target="_blank">Kleinfeld</a> </i>is known for its outstanding service, amazing selection of gowns and the infamous “Say Yes to the Dress” TV show, which I love!</span></div>

I wanted to go to </span><i><span style="color: purple;"><a href="https://www.kleinfeldbridal.com/" target="_blank">Kleinfeld</a> </span></i><span style="color: #454545;">with my mom, my maid of honor, and my fiancé’s mom. I knew it was going to be a once in a lifetime experience so I wanted to take the people closest with me to share the memory together. I had already selected a few pieces in mind and fell in love with Tony Ward’s collection the most. We tried on multiple silhouettes and I trusted my consultation to bring out the best choices based on my preferences as we looked around. With over 30,000 sq. ft of magical wedding bliss, having a consultant with great experience is key to help you narrow down options; whether you’re looking for elegant and tulle or lace and bling. </span></span></span></div>

If someone else from your family or the groom is purchasing the dress, you want to know what their budget is to stay within it or know how much more you have to pay for. It’s great to know because it helps the bridal consultants bring dresses that are affordable within your budget avoiding heartache.</span></span></div>

It’s important to educate yourself on exactly which products your skin needs in a market that has so many different options available. Growing up, I always struggled with natural redness and texture on my cheeks due to keratosis pilaris. I’ve always had to be very careful and mindful of the ingredients in all of the products I used. </span></div>

I was introduced to SkinCeuticals a few years ago and it quickly became a staple in my beauty closet. I began to incorporate a handful of their products into my skincare routine, so I was screaming for joy at the opportunity to attend this luncheon and learn more. </span></div>

I also wanted to target my uneven texture with a light chemical exfoliant. What I love about SkinCeuticals products is that their main goal is to target real results, and they now offer a personalized serum called Custom D.O.S.E. What I have learned over the years is that one product that may work for someone will not work for someone else. The Custom D.O.S.E by SkinCeuticals helps you assess your skin and personalize a formula that is meant to target your personal skin concerns. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the luncheon, we learned more about their new launch, the Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight acid cream. It’s gentle enough to wear overnight and it targets discoloration and texture. As someone with very sensitive skin, I incorporate this product into my routine every other day overnight. It’s helped control my keratosis pilaris on my upper arms as well! My skin feels more radiant and brighter every time I use this product.</span></div>

I was so excited to create my own! I had the pleasure of visiting the Cassileth Plastic Surgery offices in Beverly Hills and watch how they use technology and science to personalize a serum within 10 minutes. We first assessed my issues, what I wanted to target, and what my skin needed for results. I have been using this product for over three weeks now and my skin is noticeably brighter and has overall improved the texture of my skin. I wanted to wait on writing this post because I’m a firm believer that it takes about a month for your skin to adjust to new products and to see results and now I am thrilled to continue to use it!</span></div>

There are a few details in clothing, especially for brides, that scream romance and love. Ruffles, lace, and details, such as bows, are all feminine touches that reflect a very flirty yet romantic feel. Depending on the type of wedding you are having, you can break the celebrations down and wear a different type of outfit every time. For example, when it came to my bridal party announcement, I wanted more of a statement and opted to wear a jumpsuit for a fashionable moment. For my engagement party, I I wanted a dress that was flirty yet romantic, which is why I chose to style this David’s Bridal dress. The options are endless and my best advice is to focus on pieces that define you, your relationship and your style. I had handpicked a few of my favorite pieces below that can be styled from your engagement party to rehearsal dinner and more.</i></span></span></div>

It always starts with the dress but is completed with the details, such as your accessories, hair, and makeup. When I find the perfect outfit, I always start to envision how I am going to style my hair and makeup in a way that makes a statement. It sets the entire mood and story of the event! If you’re anything like me, I always opt for classic Hollywood-glam curls, but lately I have loved experimenting with different looks much more. A simple, low updo is always classic and to add some details, you can always add hair accessories. Some accessories that I love are hair clips, bows and pearls for an added touch of romance.</span></i></span></div>

If my entire dress is lace with intricate details, I keep the shoes simple with a strappy heel. If the outfit is more classic and needs a bit more romance, have fun with the shoes and opt in for a style you wouldn’t generally try, like all over crystals or a touch of color. </i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. After you add your moisturizer, you can wear the drops on bare skin. If you are skipping your foundation, you want to highlight the peak points of your face where natural light would enhance your features. I place a drop or two directly onto my fingertips and dab along my cheekbones, above my brow bones and the above the cupid’s bow. </span></div>

Mixing it will break down your foundation to be more sheer and also finish it off with an overall glow. This will sheer out the drops for a more subtle luminous finish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ahhh wellness and beauty, I am most definitely in love with you. As I have gotten older, I have </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">become uber obsessed with wellness and beauty. Whether its hair care or a new skin care </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">product, I make an effort to prioritize taking care of it. I am constantly reading reviews, asking </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">dermatologist and trying new products. When my hair looks great, I instantly feel more confident. I notice when I am taking care of my skin, it’s a big confidence boost.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I think of drugstore brands, I immediately think about </span><a href="https://www.riteaid.com/wellness-beauty?utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=social_ad&utm_content=P%26G_wellness%2Bbeauty_8_12_2018" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;" target="_blank"><i>Rite-Aid</i></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. I grew up with one nearby and I would always shop for the next best shampoo as I started to fall in love with hair care more in my teenage years. They always offer great prices on quality hair care, skin and body products. For me, hair care is top priority. I am always on the hunt for the best shampoos and conditioners that not only moisturize my hair but also leave it looking shiny and radiant. Pantene is one of my favorite products and this week they are priced at $3.99 with an offer of “buy one get one 50% off”. This is a steal -(</span><a href="https://www.riteaid.com/wellness-beauty?utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=social_ad&utm_content=P%26G_wellness%2Bbeauty_8_12_2018" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;" target="_blank"><i>running to Rite Aid as you are reading this</i>)</a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> ! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Without further adieu, let’s jump right into skincare. The new Olay Regenerist has a heavenly formula that’s a one-stop-shop. It has a watery texture that absorbs into my skin instantly leaving it feel luminous with a velvety finish. I have been putting it to the test for the past week and I am loving it! Hydration is key for me in skincare! However, most moisturizers tend to leave a greasy residue and only sit on the top layer of your skin. The Olay Regenerist soaks into my skin like a sponge and also leaves a smooth canvas for makeup application instantly. Make sure you get your hands on one and try it before it sells out! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You are probably thinking, “what have you planned so far”? Now that the excitement of the proposal has settled, I have started the wedding planning *screaming for joy* and will it be any shock to hear that one of my favorite parts so far has been already trying to plan my outfits for all of the wedding events? Choosing what to wear and where to start can be overwhelming, if I’m being honest. Don’t worry, though! I am going to share my best advice on the subject and hopefully serve as a guide for the early planning process. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Being Armenian and coming from a traditional culture, I am going to incorporate some traditions from my parent’s wedding as well as some new ones we grew up with. There are so many significant moments leading up to your wedding day, from bridal shower to rehearsal dinner, and you are going to want to look AH-mazing at each one. I have been looking for a white dress for each occasion and making sure each is very different from one another. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since we got engaged in Park City, Utah, we have yet to plan an event celebrating with all of our loved ones in Los Angeles. Thinking about an engagement party, the first thought in my mind is fashion related, of course! I wanted a dress that was simple yet long in length. I wanted to keep it minimalistic with beautiful lace detailing. I love how timeless and feminine one shoulder dresses looked and seeing how form fitting this <a href="https://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_scalloped-one-shoulder-glitter-lace-sheath-gown-183668db?utm_source=katiesbliss&utm_medium=influencersocial&utm_campaign=influencer-littlewhitedresses-general&utm_content=influencerpost-katiesbliss-lwdcampagin-183668db-072318" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: purple;">David's Bridal</span></i></a> dress was, I instantly fell in love. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Depending on your location, you can either go all out for your engagement party or rehearsal dinner. Since we will be incorporating more traditions during our wedding day and opting out of a rehearsal dinner (can’t wait to share more from our culture), I wanted my engagement dress to celebrate in fashion but also be comfortable. Although white is always preferred, it’s definitely not a rule and you can choose any color you prefer. I preferred white but I was more concerned about the finding the perfect fit and quality. When I came across this affordable option from <a href="https://www.davidsbridal.com/?utm_source=studsandsapphires&utm_medium=influencersocial&utm_campaign=influencer-littlewhitedresses-general&utm_content=influencerpost-studsandsapphires-lwdcampagin-homepage-072318" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: purple;">David's Bridal</span></i></a>, I couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to style it as soon as possible. </span></div>

And who doesn’t love a great holiday party? I couldn’t be more excited!</i></div>

<i>I have to admit that although the events are amazing, finding something to wear to each one can sometimes be a very serious task. Aside from the events - also comes gift shopping. Each year, my family members from my aunt to my grandmother, assign me the most difficult task of purchasing gifts for the entire family. It always seems to be stressful at first but I have to admit that it’s also a lot of fun.</i></div>

<i>This year, I am not only noticing an ongoing trend with my holiday picks for myself but the same for when I am gift shopping. Having a background in fashion design and having designed clothes for 9 years, knitwear was my specialty. Not only were the holidays our busiest time but my favorite was to design, create, and style the iconic gift giving and holiday party pieces. </i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Having a classic knitwear piece that you can style various ways for the holiday season is a key staple for the holidays. I always look for great quality and a neutral color to style with bold accessories. This cowl neck sweater has the perfect length to either be worn as a tunic or tucked into your jeans or a skirt for a more elevated look. It has different stitch details to the bottom hem and sleeves adding character to the silhouette. I not only own this piece for myself but will definitely be gifting it my family members in their favorite colors. </i></div>

Invest in a great knitwear piece and give another as a gift this season and I promise you that they will not only love the garment but adore you!

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><em><span style="color: black;">I have always been the one to plan trips for
my family and friends. I’m in charge of the itinerary</span> <span style="color: black;">and there is never a question of where to go, what to pack
or what to do once we get to our</span> <span style="color: black;">destination.
But this time around, I did something totally new. This past weekend, I opened</span>
<span style="color: black;">myself up to new experiences by partnering with
<a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: purple;">Marshalls</span></strong></a> to depart on a surprise trip to</span> <span style="color: black;">Denver, Colorado. However, we had no idea where the
destination was until</span> <span style="color: black;">we arrived at
the airport, which made it even more exciting! I’ve been a</span> <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: purple;">Marshalls</span></strong></a> shopper ever since I was a little girl when- my
mom would take me about twice a</span> <span style="color: black;">week.
What I loved most about their stores then is still what I love most now – there
are</span> <span style="color: black;">surprises in every section of
every store. I might not always know what I am going to find, but I</span>
<span style="color: black;">know I’ll always find amazing things that I love.</span></em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><em><span style="color: black;">With this in mind, and in the spirit of
<strong>Choosing Surprise</strong>, I went shopping at <a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: purple;">Marshalls</span></strong></a> armed</span> <span style="color: black;">with only a weather report and suggested packing list for
my unknown destination, packed up</span> <span style="color: black;">my
suitcase, went to the airport, and let surprise take over. From the moment I
said yes to this</span> <span style="color: black;">surprise trip, I
felt more open about embracing the new experiences that were ahead of me.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Thanks to Marshalls, I learned how valuable and
eye opening it can be to break away from your daily routine (and your typical
style!) and have some fun! An amazing weekend of new</span> <span style="color: black;">experiences in Denver lay ahead of me, and thanks to
<a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: purple;">Marshalls</span></strong></a>, I learned how valuable and</span> <span style="color: black;">eye

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><em>From Red Rocks to white water rafting, a food tour and exploring Denver in
between, my trip was certainly filled with excitement and out of the ordinary activities!
While I live for the experiences travel brings, I always like to prepare in
advance and curate looks depending on the destination. For this adventure, Marshalls
encouraged me to shop for unexpected items and outfits (with just a weather
report to go off of) to get me ready for an adventure of a lifetime, which was

destination reveal was just the push I needed to be more open for this fun- filled
adventure. As I was shopping for my outfits, I visited multiple Marshalls
locations because the element of surprise in each store made the experience even
more exciting. I discovered different athleticwear, accessories and fashionable
pieces at each location.</em></span></span></div>

<i>Over the years, I have always been the one to plan our family trips and
all of my adventures with friends and loved ones. With an itinerary in mind, it’s
on a rare occasion that I have not known what to pack, where to go, and how to
dress for the location. But for my next adventure I’m partnering with <a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: purple;">Marshalls</span></b></a>
to choose surprise and try something totally new. They are sending me on a
surprise trip this weekend via <a href="http://www.packupgo.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: purple;">Pack Up + Go</span></b></a> to a mystery location. That’s
right! I’ll have no idea where I am headed until I actually get to the airport.
How’s that for breaking up a predictable routine?! I couldn’t be more excited to find out where I’m going, but also the beauty of
this partnership is that it’s reminded me that sometimes life brings you full
circle to a place you have been before to show you how much you’ve grown.
Growing up, my mom and I would step into a <a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Marshalls</b></span></a> twice a week and we never
knew what gems we were going to find – but we always found things we absolutely
loved. We would experience surprise each time we walked into the store and I’m
excited to now open myself up
to some new experiences with a retailer I grew up with.</i><br />

merchandise, I was also encouraged to break away from my typical denim and
white button up aesthetic and choose surprise.
Since I won’t know exactly where I am going until the day of, I had to
prepare for a surprise vacation and pack merchandise I never expected. The beauty
of walking into <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><strong>Marshalls</strong></span></a> </span>is that is has high quality products and designer
merchandise. You never know what great things you are going to find – but you
know you’re going to love it! The theme for what I had to shop for was fitness,
exercise, and active activities. It was an exciting challenge for me to look
for new styles that are typically out of my regular routine and this
opportunity reminded me how much fun it can be and what amazing things can
happen when you surprise yourself in life, travel and shopping!</i><br />

list to give me just enough guidance so that I’ll be sure to have everything I
need. Shopping for a trip when you don’t know where you’re headed added another
layer to my excitement! And I found some amazing stuff that I can’t wait to
wear and use during my travels. Since packing for a weekend of surprise can be
a bit of a challenge, I’ve put together a list of my top packing tips. </i><o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>When I write it out, I always make sure I have everything I need and I
am able to cover my bases. I tend to forget the little things, such as sleeping
masks, and end up having to buy a new pair every time I travel. Write a list
out ahead of time and cross it off as you pack them away in your luggage.</i><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>For me, remembering to pack shoes and outfits is the easy part. It’s
always the little details like beauty products, tech items and accessories that
make me more anxious when packing. I love using transparent clutches for my
sunglasses, nail polish, sun care and so much more. Different pouches keep
everything separated and I can see exactly what I need since they are
transparent. </i><o:p></o:p></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>If I am bringing a hat, I will always stuff a knit top or roll a clothing
item up in the body to keep the shape. If you are packing denim, you can also
roll it up to save space in your luggage.</i><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Is there anything more classic for the transitional season than your classic denim jacket?</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Spring is in full season and I couldn’t be more excited. As eager as we all are to shed our third layer pieces off, you definitely want to consider keeping a light jacket around for those colder evenings. While some may assume denim jackets are meant for the summer, I actually consider it a classic staple piee year around. However, there is something chic and ultra cool when you bring it back out for Spring and Summer. It’s the ultimate transitional outwear: tie it around your waist if it gets too hot during the day or throw it over your shoulders at night for a statement look. </i></span></div>
<i><br /></i>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Now how do you wear the oversized denim jacket trend? Try pairing it with a summer dress in bright colors, prints, or optic whites to keep the look light and airy. I like to either pair it with dark washed or black jeans for a variation in color but it looks even better when paired with jeans to match. When it comes to the denim jacket, your styling options are endless and just have fun with it. I have rounded up some of my favorite denim jackets ranging from ultra distressed to polished with embroidery. </i></span></div>

I remember going to Disneyland when I was 6 years old wearing one with Warner Bros characters on it. It’s always been a staple but this season, it underwent major treatment. In line with the “borrowed from the boys look’, the denim jackets are coming in multiple different versions. Whether it’s oversized and distressed or ultra feminine with embellishments and lace, these denim jackets are making a big statement this season and I am loving it right now.</i></span></div>

Winter in New York City is quite the experience and although many want to escape the cold, it’s a refreshing change in weather for us Southern California based individuals. It was an eventful and busy four days! Although there was a crisp hint of cold air and less than 40 degrees the first day, the weather warmed up in the lower 60’s towards the end of our trip. While Los Angeles was experiencing a terrible rain storm, it was nice to escape to my favorite city in the U.S after all! </div>

My mom had not been to New York in 6 years and I wanted our mother daughter business trip to be productive yet tons of fun. While I was running from meeting to meeting, I wanted the location of our hotel to be an easy neighborhood for her to explore and enjoy some time in the city until I met back up with her in the afternoons.</div>

The 1 Hotel Central Park is a fantastic property situated walking distance from Central Park yet in the middle of Manhattan. I had previously stayed at the 1 Hotel location in South Beach, Miami, so when I discovered their New York location, I jumped at the opportunity to make it my home for the week. It’s a gorgeous property surrounded by thoughtful details of natural materials and many living green plants. In fact, when you first walk into 1 Hotel Central Park, you will see a lobby that perfectly captures their mission of how in nature, everything is interconnected. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Surrounded by reclaimed and natural materials, my favorite part was the accents of brick, copper and many touches of nature. As you passed the lobby, you could find a Farmstand by the elevator that had fresh fruit, nuts and granola open to their guests and neighbors. I love how the 1 Hotel team has captured such beautiful experience and that hospitality is shown through their amazing staff. </div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Once we were all checked in, we were greeted by a room that exceeded our needs and expectations. Not only did we have a spectacular view extending over the city streets, I, immediately fell in love with the marble shower, HD sound system, and how at the touch of a button, the concierge or any other need was met within seconds. It was very spacious and our bed had been made with all very comfortable natural elements and organic cotton sheets. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
We loved starting our mornings at Jams with a delicious buffet style breakfast and an invigorating cup of coffee as we prepared our agenda for the day. Not only was Chef Jonathan Waxman at Jams named “Best Chef in New York City”, the atmosphere and look of the restaurant is just as phenomenal as the food. Just in case you didn’t have enough over brunch, you can refuel on your own schedule with in-room dining that is 24 hours a day. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Aside from a comfortable and cozy space that felt like home, the location was amazing and we definitely took advantage of our surroundings. We spent our afternoons walking to Central Park, and made our way to Fifth Avenue afterwards for some shopping. It’s also very close to Columbus Circle and the Theater District. Having the privilege of traveling often, I always like to look back and reflect on my favorite part of the trip. Not only was the hotel and its ameninities spectacular but the people at the 1 Hotel Central Park were my favorite part. From the moment I checked in to the moment I left in my Uber with my bags, each staff member was incredibly friendly and made me feel like at home. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
All in all, this was one of my absolute favorite experiences of the city. I can’t speak highly enough of all of the people at the 1 Hotel Central Park and how kind and helpful they were during our stay. I can’t wait to return and I want to thank everyone at the hotel for making our stay such a fantastic experience. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
I love discovering new hotels and could not be any more pleased with the <i><b><a href="https://www.1hotels.com/central-park">1 Hotel Central Park</a>. </b></i></div>
<br />
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Make sure next time you are visiting, to book your stay at the 1 Hotel Central Park or their new location in Brooklyn.</div>

<i>As the weather starts to get warmer, we all want to remove
our outerwear and place our coats in the closet until next winter. One of my
favorite parts about Spring is the excitement for new fabrications, pops of
color, and silhouettes. This season, our classic shirt has evolved with
multiple details and I am so excited.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The first trend that is going to be very strong is the ultrafeminine ruffle detail. As I was browsing the stores, runways, and online, the ruffle detail can be found anywhere from pants to tops. I have always been a girl who loves to pair her classic denim pieces back to either edgy pieces or in this case, with a feminine top.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The ruffle trend can be a bit overwhelming for some or difficult to style for others. Don't be afraid to experiment. I always gravitate towards more delicate trims but decided to opt in for the oversized ruffle shirt. Since this silhouette was oversized, I paired it with a high waisted bottom to accentuate my waistline as well as keep it more fitted. What are some of your favorite Spring trends? </i></div>

Whether you are a morning person or not, waking up is usually a struggle that mostly consists of an extra shot of espresso, tons of coffee, and your snooze button. We all have a daily routine that gets us out of the house but does it necessarily motivate you to conquer the day? If you're anything like me, your morning routine can affect how you feel for the rest of the day and it sets the mood for everything you plan to accomplish.<br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>I consider Mondays motivational because not only is it the beginning of a new week but having the right mind set can get you excited for what's to come. I definitely can relate when we all say "the struggle is real" so I wanted to share my top tips on how to make your mornings as exciting as possible. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
My mom would always joke that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed when I was not joyful in the mornings. As I share my tips, I can't help but to laugh and share my top tips on how to make us all feel happy, relaxed so we can wake up on the right side of the bed every morning. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Don't Hit Snooze. </i></b></div>
<div>
The most infamous morning routine - I am guilty of it and almost all of us are. Try your best to stay away from the snooze button! Believe it or not, pressing snooze will only leave you feeling groggier and more tired. Give yourself enough time to get up when your first alarm sounds.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Eat Breakfast.</i></b></div>
<div>
What did you eat as you left your house this morning? If we are being completely honest, I ate a granola bar as I rushed out of the house and packed my breakfast to go. This is what we should all avoid. Give yourself enough time in the morning to make sure to eat a nice breakfast without rushing. Indulging in a healthy breakfast can instantly make you more energetic and awake. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Drink a Glass of Water.</i></b></div>
<div>
As you wake up, kick start your morning with a large glass of water. You can prepare yourself by leaving a bottle by your nightstand as an easy reminder. Drinking a glass of water as soon as you get up help replenish the fluid in your body that it loses overnight; leaving you energized and refreshed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Stretch Your Muscles.</i></b></div>
<div>
A great way to release endorphins and feel less stressed is by getting blood flowing throughout the body by stretching in the mornings. A good stretch will start your day off feeling productive and positive. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Wake Up Half An Hour Earlier.</i></b></div>
<div>
Waking up 30 min earlier than your usual routine can make the biggest difference to your day. This will allow you to not only eat a healthy breakfast but plenty of time to get ready and enjoy your morning. You will wake up happier and less stressed. Give it a try and you will see that you will soon be doing a little something you enjoy before your day starts.</div>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
<b><i>Prepare The Night Before.</i></b></div>
<div>
Take 10 minutes of your time before you sleep to prepare as much as possible for the morning of. Whether it's your car keys and wallet, you don't want to rush out of the house forgetting anything and feeling more flustered. Having your purse ready in the morning will eliminate the stress of looking for your work notes and give you time to enjoy your breakfast at ease.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you enjoy these tips! I have some exciting news I can't wait to share with you all. I am re-working a few things as well as launching a thing or two so please bear with me as I try to transition from one platform to another.</div>

mostly all in Los Angeles so I am very excited to spend the holidays with them.
Things start to slow down a bit around this time and quality time with family is
what I look forward to. Every year, we spend New Year's together where we play games, eat delicious food, and dress up in festive outfits. Since
both of my aunts live out of town, they fly in for the Holidays and we also have
our annual New Year's lunch. Our New Year's lunch is more intimate and definitely
a memorable one. New Year's Eve is a big tradition within our Armenian culture and I have grown up always exchanging gifts on December 31st. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

mock neck sweater and classic jeans. The red lip makes this classic combo feel
festive. I definitely styled my outfit with an oversized statement handbag to
utilize for all of the gifts that I will be passing out to my family.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>It's finally December and I
can't believe time flew by this quickly! It seems as if it was yesterday we
were bringing out our bathing suits and now we are trading them in for our
layering pieces. Personally, it's one of my favorite seasons cause it allows
you to have fun with different fabrications and mix and match various
silhouettes for warmth and style!</i></span></span></div>

shopping techniques have changed and I have started to invest in core staples a
lot more. What are some of your favorite closet staples? For winter, I love a
great long sleeve turtleneck that is lightweight enough to layer under a coat
but soft enough to keep me warm. I am all about everyday pieces that provide
exceptional warmth but are still chic and comfortable at the same time.</span></i><br />

silhouettes are making their mark in the fashion industry, the tight turtleneck
has made a comeback and it hugs every woman in the right places. I remember
browsing through photos of my mom wearing high waisted pants with her classic
turtleneck sweater. I was definitely inspired by her and wanted to recreate this
empowering look. What I love about this classic camel color too is that it’s
polishes, retro, and sexy at the same time. </span></i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

have a collection of favorite fall items that I wear continuously. And let me
just start by saying that I always search for a great pair of jeans that fit my
waist, are skinny at the ankles and have a little distress. Today, I am wearing
these <a href="http://zps.to/cGBfpiDx"><em><strong><span style="color: purple;">Hudson jeans</span></strong></em></a> from <a href="http://zps.to/br2kZGzF"><span style="color: purple;"><em><strong>Zappos</strong></em></span></a> and I fell in love with the wash, the fit and
how comfortable they are. <a href="http://zps.to/br2kZGzF"><strong><em><span style="color: purple;">Zappos</span></em></strong></a> has always been one of my favorite shops for
denim, since they carry all of my favorite brands and are getting tons of new
styles constantly. With a hectic schedule and always on the go, I love
shopping online but what always catches my eye is an e-commerce site with great
customer service and return policy. <a href="http://zps.to/br2kZGzF"><strong><em><span style="color: purple;">Zappos</span></em></strong></a> has fast and free shipping and a
365-day return policy, which fits perfectly for the busy lifestyle of a stylish
working gal.</span></span></div>

I wanted to keep my look casual enough to run to the mall
but flirty and feminine enough for date night. I kept it minimal with black
ankle crop jeans, a white tie-front blouse, and dressed it up with my black bow
pumps.<br />

I am typically your denim obsessed kind of gal. A good pair of jeans can be dressed up or down and it always looks chic. I do love a great dress though, especially when its a shirt dress. Coming from someone who owns the same button up shirt in multiple colors, it's always my classic go-to. When I discovered this shirt dress silhouette, I knew I had to own it.</div>

How do you style a shirtdress, you ask? It's typically a long button-up shirt or you can even get creative and make your own out of an over-sized shirt. It's a casual and easy to style silhouette. During warmer days, it can be styled on its own with a block heel or some sneakers. My favorite is to pair a cropped sweater over it with a long duster for colder winter days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is a cool factor to a shirt dress - although its a simple silhouette, when styled right, it can look very street-chic and classic.</div>

With my love for fashion, comes my love for the fashion icon herself - Coco Chanel. She defines the meaning of style for me and it's always so inspiring to infuse a little more of the Coco aesthetic into my wardrobe. Her characteristics include simplicity and elegance. She was always able to transform men's wear into chic and comfortable feminine clothing.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Coco Chanel's took Thom Browne's boater hat and elevated it into new fashion heights, just as she did with the little black dress. Being an advocate for breaking all fashion rules, she has been credited with re-inventing it to a whole new level. Originally a men's formal summer hat, Chanel became a licensed hat-maker and owned her first shop in 1910. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was never a big fan of hats until I discovered the boater. It's the perfect accessory to any outfit and I love its nautical aesthetic. It can make a casual outfit feel fun and filled with character. It can also add structure and a chic factor to a blazer or suit. The boater hat was the start of my hat collection and it has now resulted to over 20 hats in my closet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have added a few of my favorite tips on how to style hats, including some DO's and DONT's.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>DO</i></b> decorate or embellish your hat.<br />
<i>A hat with a ribbon or embellishment can instantly add a chic factor to your ensemble.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>DON'T</i></b> match your brown fedora too perfectly with your all-brown outfit.<br />
<i>Stay away from being too matchy matchy. If your outfit is brown or dark neutrals, play it up with a different tone, such as nude, to set your look apart.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>DO</i></b> pick the right shape for your face.<br />
<i>Make sure the hat fits your face shape. I am 5, 6'' and I like a hat with a wider brim.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>DO</i></b> be mindful of color.<br />
<i>If you're an all black ensemble, keep the hat black. However, don't be afraid to add a pop of color to play beautifully with your casual look. A burgundy hat always looks perfect with denim and a casual white top. </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most importantly, have fun! If you like these styling tips, leave me a comment and let me know! I would love to incorporate more tips and advice.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I get ready to plan my trips within the next month, <a href="https://shop.witlee.com/studsandsapphires/4919363?seedId=29046&widget=flyout">this dress</a> is the first thing I am packing for Hawaii. I will be going to Hawaii in two weeks and I can't wait to disconnect, relax, and get my tan on. Well, disconnect as in I will be snaphatting (username: studs_sapphires) my entire trip! (haha)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />As we all have figured out by now, the off the shoulder detail has been my recent go-to and this silhouette has transformed into different body shapes and fabrications. I kept it feminine and flirty in this gingham piece but wanted to add a very thin suede belt to accentuate the waistline. It was quite the windy afternoon and my mom and I had fun laughing together as I would try to avoid the windstorm in this beautiful dress with my boater hat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
