Holiday Style Hacks
Hello, November!
Yup, it's that time of the year again! October flew by and now the holidays are right around the corner. I absolutely love the holidays however, it is also one of the most stressful times of the year for me. Being a full-time student and preparing for finals, while also being a product development intern at a shoe company, it has been tough trying to find additional time to hang out with loved ones or go shopping. Although I might not be able to do any shopping for you, I can help you out with these quick holiday style hacks.

Although I might not be able to do any shopping for you, I can help you out with these quick holiday style hacks.
1. Use double-sided tape.
Honestly, the creation of double-sided tape has blessed me on so many different occasions. I've been using ShowStoppers' double-sided tape to prevent any unwanted wardrobe malfunctions such as keeping a revealing dress in place and concealing bra straps. What I love about this product is that it comes in a small, sleek package that is perfect for the average person on the go. I've also noticed that the tape lasts pretty long. I have used it to keep one of my favorite cowl neck tops in place and my knee highs from running down and was amazed to see that the tape lasted all day, even throughout humidity. Want to try ShowStoppers for yourself? You can use the code LISETTE2 for $2 off, valid through November 20, 2017!
2. Hairspray can be used for things other than just your hair!
Nothing is worse than planning to wear a cute skirt or dress with stockings, only to find out that your tights have been snagged or ripped. Here in New York, it gets extremely cold during the holiday seasons and although I love to show some leg, I don't want to freeze to death while doing it. Runs on stockings might be great for achieving the whole grunge/punk rock look, but you can actually prevent them from happening by spraying hairspray on your tights both before wearing and storing them away.
3. Don't be afraid to break out your heels!
I know a lot of people dread having to dress up because in many cases it means to wear heels. As someone who owns a lot of shows, I know that heels aren't always the most comfortable to wear. However, you shouldn't let that discourage you! I'm sure many of you already know about the Band-Aid trick to keep your shoes from rubbing and peeling your skin, but what happens if you don't have any easily accessible? It turns out that applying some lip balm on the back of your heels also helps to prevent blisters. For this hack, I highly recommend using a lip balm with a thick and waxy formula such as Burt's Bees. Anything with shimmer would just increase irritation.

Warby Parker's Haskell-Flash Collection
Say hello to Haskell-Flash!
Just in time for Spring/Summer '17, Warby Parker launched Haskell-Flash, their latest sunglasses collection. This collection is a fun new take on their original Haskell frames with six new options, for both men and women, of flash lenses ranging from silver to mirrored violet (which is my personal favorite).
Whether if you're hanging out by the poolside, hitting up a music festival, or even just cruising around town, the Haskell-Flash shades are versatile enough to wear pretty much anywhere! Wondering what to pair with your new shades? Have no fear, I've got you covered! Here are some ways I'd style the new Haskell-Flash sunnies:
Which Haskell hue will you be rocking this Summer? Let me know in the comments below!

Subway Stripes
"Never underestimate the power of the perfect striped shirt."
When strolling around the city, I like to be comfortable and semi-casual. However, being comfortable doesn't necessarily have to mean wearing sweatpants and a hoodie all day.. although there is nothing wrong with that! Since I knew I was going to be walking around quite a bit, I opted for loose fitting pieces that are easy to move around in. I paired my fave leather jacket and black heels to help bring out the stripes in my top.
What I'm Wearing:
- Leather Jacket - Forever 21
- Striped Top - Boohoo.com
- Jeans - Love Culture
- Heels - H&M

Fall Trend: Metallics
Hey everyone! I'm finally back with a new post for you guys. It seems like these days you can't go into any store without seeing some kind of metallics. From gold, silver, and bronze to shiny pinks and blues, metallics are slowly taking over. I actually really like this trend and think it would be perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Here's a quick little OOTD post I put together using my favorite gold and black bustier/crop top. Enjoy!
That's all for today's post. Special thanks to Anna Matisova for the photos! I'm going to be uploading my first thrift haul video during the week, so make sure to check out the links below to stay updated. As always, thanks for reading :)
