Do you have a graduate in your life? Or a disappointed college student? This situation stinks, I have both in my house!!! And, I just keep telling them that this is temporary..We WILL get through this. I am sharing some fun items with you to spread some cheer to anyone who needs a little pick me up. Maybe they have a bday coming up, or you need a special graduation gift or just a little pick me up…my friend Andrea of Hipchik is so creative. Her items are so perfect for right now. I featured her college masks last week and the response was HUGE!!! Everyone loved them. Andrea also has some great college logo gifts AND some really fun quarantine items to make you laugh and looking cool. You can contact Andrea via text at 914-772-4474 for more information or to place an order. There is 10% off your purchase on her WEBSITE, if you share your email address.
So as of 8:00 tonight, there is a new order….New Yorkers are required to wear a mask when going out in public. This is our new normal. But just because you have to wear a mask does not mean it cannot be a fun fashionable one. I actually found some really cute styles for you. I ended up ordering from all 3 for all my family members and also for a bunch of gifts. For better or worse, I have a feeling we will be wearing masks for a while. Bon Weekend!!!!!.
I fell in love with these one a kind designer logo masks from BeYounique. Each mask is $30. Jenn has many to choose from but since they are all unique, and made to order when one style is gone, it’s gone so ACT FAST….Email to Order yours!
Earlier this week, I ordered a Georgetown and Providence mask from Hipchik Home. .Pick your own school. Each mask is $25. EMAIL to order!
These cute preppy masks are made by Amy Bryant Designs. They come in both adult and children’s sizes and can be made with a filter pocket. Each adult mask is $12 with the filter pocket and $10 without. Choose your print by the number below and email to place your order!!!
OMG!!!! How fun are these Party Pajamas? Perfect for your glam nights on the zoom!!!! Unfortunately, I searched the web for them and they are pretty pricey…soooooooo…Who’s up for a DIY? I found THESE pajamas and many different colored BOAS. I used a GLUE GUN to attach the feathers to each of the sleeves and each pant leg. One boa was enough to do one pair of pajamas. The first photo is the pair that I finished over the weekend. I have seen people wear the top with jeans or the pants with a dressy flared sleeve black top or the top and bottoms together with cute heels to a wedding or Holiday party. When our quarantine is over, I am going to send mine out to have the feathers sewn on (but I’m sure a lot of you can do it yourself)!!! I just love this look!!!!!
Yesterday I received an email from a reader in Chicago. She said that she has a bunch of upcoming zoom conferences and social calls….and wanted some tips on something new to wear (that would be within her budget) and asked for some help on how she should set up her zoom “scene”. I partnered with Belk, a fun Florida Department store, to bring you some under $30 fashion finds. Their signature brands are really great looking and take a queue from some of the more expensive lines…I love the striped sweater highlighted below, it reminds me of the NY popular fashion brand La Ligne. I also included a few pairs of statement earrings. They are a must since earrings really pop in a video conference. Right now most items are 35% off with the code AMAZINGSAVINGS. As for creating the Zoom scene, I found a few tips for you! Please keep the emails and messages coming. I am trying to cover a lot of fun topics to keep everyone entertained for the next many weeks and I love all the interesting questions, and requests that you send to me!!!! Bon Weekend!!!

Here are some tips for elevating your Zoom background or “scene” as I like to call it!!!
Set up your computer in front of the window so your face gets natural light, which is the most flattering type of light.”
You can improve your appearance and look airbrushed. Just click the “enhance my appearance” button under video options.
Use laptops/computers over phone/tablets. It allows for better control of viewing and accessing chat features.
Mute mics and only unmute when you are speaking; it eliminates some of the screen jumping that is triggered by sound/noise.
Surround yourself with things that inspire you: a decorative piece, a Himalayan salt lamp, or burn a candle.
Place Lamps At Both Sides Of Your Desk, if you are seated at a desk.
Clean your space. Do not show clutter. Think about your background. A nice piece of artwork or your fireplace and mantle would work nicely. Basically something interesting to look at.
Add a decorative object to the background, like a vase of flowers.
A book shelf makes for an interesting and eye catching backdrop.
Have nice accessories, a pretty mug (my friend, Melissa, used these recently) or glass. Use a decorative pen or notebook, if you need one during the meeting.
I have been asked for some online shopping picks for WFH and beyond. I tried to find something in every category for you and kept things no more than $100.
