JV's 2018 Champaign!

On a very special day back in mid 2012, a 17 years old boy was feeling a bit upset and also feeling confused about his future plans after high school. Out of no where, he decided to open up his laptop and discovered an amazing site called Blogger. Not being sure about what a blog was, or what it could be used for, the idea of having a website just felt cool. 

Hotel or Airbnb?

There's nothing like waking up far away from home. Lately I've been really lucky to have traveled to places I never thought I could. But part of traveling also includes checking-in into hotels & sometimes even airbnbs. Here are a couple of things to consider when staying in a hotel or an airbnb. 

Start Over!?

I'm a big believer that sometimes things happen for a reason. Whatever the situation is, it should make us stronger, smarter and wiser day by day. But we shouldn't stop there! In the last couple of months, I realized I can't take back the time that has passed, but I can manage to gain back the things I lost & gain a lot more. 

#Newyearmoreproductivity

A new year has arrived, and usually when it comes to a new year most people use the phrase "new year, new me" to motivate change in their lives. But don't get us wrong, is great that people want to change something about themselves or in their lives, but how long does the show last? Is time to stop changing ourselves and just start embracing who we are and make the most out of it. 

What a year 2017!

Wow, another year gone by! 2017 was for sure a roller coaster but I'm very glad I made it through. Though I don't actually remember starting off 2017, 2017 will be for sure a year to be remember. Here are a couple of highlight moments through out 2017!

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Every Christmas season in the last couple of years, I always do a special Christmas photoshoot. This year, once again is extra special, not only because this time we shot a lovely Christmas video (View Video), but because this Christmas season I got something more than what I could ever wish for, Love! 

#Christmasspirit 

The happiest time of the year is finally here and it is time for us to get into the Christmas spirit. Wether you were naughty, nice or at least tried to make it through the year, this is the best time to enjoy yourself along with family and friends. 

Warm, classic & luxurious! 

The color brown is one of those colors that can help you make any living space feel more warm and relaxing. But it also can help you make any living space look more classic and luxurious! When it comes to the color brown, there are a lot of different ways you can use it, here are three easy ways you can add the color brown into your living space. 

Finding balance in our skin!

Not too long ago we had the pleasure to be invited to try and to learn more about the SK-II skincare. Thanks to Roy Galifi, an educator of Sk-II, we had the change to play around with a couple of Sk-II products, learn more about them and even learn how we can incorporate them into our daily skin routine. 

10 things I'm thankful for this year!

Though the year isn't over yet, I can say that so far it has been like a roller coaster. Compare to other years, this year has been one my best and worst. But no matter what happens, I like to think of everything is a learning experience and be thankful for some of them, here are ten things that I'm thankful for this year!

White Crime!

Let's be honest, do people even follow rules now a day? Don't get us wrong, rules make our lives feel more safe and peaceful, but when it comes to style, breaking the rules sometimes in the right way, isn't as bad as you might think. Don't get caught by fashion police and challenge yourself to wear white all year, even after Labor Day. 

Fall in the city of Boston! 

By the end of last month - October 2017 -  I got the opportunity to visit the city of Boston, MA. For some reason, before the fall season started, I knew I wanted to experience fall season somewhere up north from New York. Since Boston is located north-east from New York and I've never been there before, I though it would be a great idea to finally make it there. 

Oakland & San Francisco!

When I turned twenty years old, I made the decision that for my birthday each year, I would travel somewhere that I haven't been before. This year, my goal was to travel to California, but thanks to someone very special to my heart, this goal became my birthday present. 

Classic fall inspired look with a twist!

There are a lot of inspirational looks you can come up with for the fall season, but sometimes I like to just give some traditional looks an update. And this time, I'm challenging myself to bring you a famous classic fall inspired look that we all love, but with a twist. 

New nature adventures! 

Like I mention in my previous outfit look editorial - Port Jefferson, NY - I have become a fan of day trips. Those includes driving away to explore new towns, checking out a new local coffee shops or stores and sometimes, just go hiking to an unknown forest! 

Day trip to Port Jefferson, NY!

Have you ever get the feeling of just wanting to run away somewhere far but yet you remember you have to go to work and take care of personal business the next day? Yeah, that happens to me a lot, but lucky for you, I'm a great fan of day trips! And today I'll be taking you to Port Jefferson, NY! 

Season change!

There are a lot of changes that happens when the fall season arrives! Not only the temperature changes but even the trees, our morning drinks, our clothes and for this occasion even farms! Let's go pumpkin picking & flower shopping!

Autumn has arrived!

Is that time of the year again to put away our last season's clothing items and this time bring out the sweaters and jackets to warm as up during the next couple of chilly months. Here's an edgy autumn inspired outfit look perfect to keep you warm and looking stylist through out the season.

July, August & September 2017 

There's no secret, a lot has change since I last did my favorites of the month. Not only has there been a lot changes in my personal life, but also in my style, diet, and daily routine. But before I get ahead of myself, here are my most used and current favorite items from July to September.  

#Fallleaves 

Is crazy to think a whole year is almost gone by! Though we are going to miss summer season, we are exciting for fall. Nature show us a different side of her beauty in each season, each one being so different and unique. And this fall season, nature is coloring our lives with her unique colored leaves.
