Charlotte is Back

Hello My Lovely Celebutantes,

I have missed you all so much! I know I haven’t posted in a while. I have just been so busy with school lately.

If any of you are in college, you know how hard it is to make next semesters’ schedule. I have gone through almost three schedules so far. I register for my classes today and hopefully none of my classes fill up before Ic an register for them. Does anyone else hate when right before you about to register for a class, that last spot gets taken? So annoying!

Anyway, enough about that. I will be posting more often now. My freshman year is almost over (YAY!) and I am free most of the summer. Of course, I will be working with my mother’s fashion company over the summer with the buying team (So excited!), which will take up some of my time. I am also going on vacation with the fam. We are going to California and New Orleans this year! So excited to get out of New York. Don’t get me wrong, NYC is fantastic! However, it has been very cold and I am so excited to get somewhere warm. I am also excited to get to see some cultural places. I am big on music and style of other places. I have gotten so into boho fashion lately, it is ridiculous! By the end of this month, my closet will be filled with flowy, lace, white tops and dresses. Also, flash forward to next April, I might be blogging to you live from Coachella 2016 so stay tuned for information about that.

I will start posting more plot posts and stories soon.

My ratings page and celebutante pages are up to date and running, so if you want to be on those, comment on the page.

That is all I have for you right now, my lovelies!

Until next time,

My Xmas Gift Haul

Hello My lovely Celebutantes,

I said I would reveal my gift haul from christmas and I don’t mean to brag, but I got some effing awesome gifts

Some of the gifts will have pictures and some will not because I don’t think they all need pictures to explain them.

Charlotte’s Xmas Gift Haul 2014

1. My first, and probably best, present was a pair of UGG boots, but not the stereotypical, knee high black or tan ones. No, Mine are a mix of a sweater UGG and a stereotypical tan one. They are the warmest boots ever and they go with almost everything. I say almost because there are some sweaters that these UGGs will just not mesh with. Any way, here is a picture to further explain the awesomeness of my boots.

(FYI, just figured out they could be rolled up from the ankle version. YESSS)

2. My second gift was a gift from my sister. It’s a noise machine and it’s fantastic! If any of you live in New York, you know that it’s crazy noisy all of the time. multiply that with the constant noise of drunk party goers and loud college students, and you’ve got a very angry, tired Charlotte. Let me tell you, tired Charlotte is not to be messed with (and plus if I don’t get at least 6 hours of beauty sleep, i get these nasty underage circles that I have to use tons of makeup to cover and that’s just not fun. My noise machine is also sleek, white, and beautiful. It plays several noises, including white noise, campfire, and (my favorite) Ocean Waves.

3. I got a Lilly Pulitzer IPhone 5 case. It’s pink with cute little flowers on it. It’s totally my personality and one of the best gifts I got. It’s not some flimsy type of plastic phone case either. Nope, it’s made of hardcore stuff, like a Speck case is.

4. I also got a lot of bath stuff and lotions. I got some bath bombs (if you don’t know what these are, go to lush and ask a salesperson). They are awesome little fizzy balls that contain ingredients that will make your skin all pretty and glory while you relax in the tub. I also got a bunch of lotions from Bath and Body Works. I got two Sea Island Cotton scented lotions (AKA my favorite scent), and I got a peppermint swirl and Pumpkin.

5. I have been OBSESSED with being healthy recently so, I bought this book for myself as a christmas present, along with a gym membership while I am home from college given to me by my parents. The book is called The Skinny Confidential. It is written by Lauryn Evarts. If you don’t know who that is, she is a lifestyle and fitness blogger. She created and writes one of my favorite blogs of all time, The Skinny Confidential. Anyway, the book is all of her tips and tricks on everything from hair to fitness. It’s a really awesome book and you should visit her website in the link above.

(I really do love this book and the blog. Her tips helped me restore my colored hair to BEAUTIFUL)

6. I got some clothes (as always). I got a Victoria’s Secret Sports Bra. It is very pretty with flowers all over it. It is perfect for working out in because it has a lot of support, plus it’s not ugly like some sports bras are. It really makes you want to work out just so people can see the pretty straps peeks out of your shirt. I also got an American Eagle Lined Jacket. It’s the most comfortable jacket I own. Plus, it is perfect to wear to the gym on cold days. It goes perfectly with black leggings, Reebok tennis shoes, and a bun in your hair.

I did get some other gifts, but these are the most notable and, if listed all of my gifts, there would be about 40+ more gifts on this list. That would take forever to type and for you to read.

Charlottes’ Guide to Holidays in the City

Hello My Little Celebutauntes,

So, I know I have been MIA for a while and the truth is…..

I have missed you all so much.

It has been so hectic at school lately, with finals and registration. But, I am back now and will be blogging the whole holiday about my favorite things and trick I learned from the city.

This post is a guide to holiday living in the city.

Charlottes’ Guide to Holidays in the City

1. ALWAYS have a cute winter coat

      I cannot stress this enough. No matter what season or what the weather is, the city can change temperature EXTREMELY fast. In October, it changed from 60 degrees to 20 degrees in two days and half of my friends did not have a jacket because they thought they wouldn’t need one until Thanksgiving break. Luckily, I always carry this cute Green Lined Anorak with me on any trip.

2. Workout AT LEAST 3 times a week

      People pack on at least 5 pounds during the holiday season so, to keep that from happening and to slay every single heart at that Christmas party your having, work out. I usually end up doing 30-60 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of toning and strengthening. I will be posting my full work out plan later this week. BONUS: While shredding those extra pounds, you will also keep your skin looking glowy and maybe meet some cute gym guys (oh, hello, Mr. Hot Guy. Can you spot me while I lift my 15 pounds?)

3. Eat healthily (until Christmas Day)

       I know how hard it is to eat healthily during the holidays, especially when your mother is making baked goods all day and the house smells like the FREAKIN Empire Cake shop. (BTW, that is my FAVORITE place to get cupcakes when I’m having an unhealthy day). To entice yourself to eat healthily, make Christmas your break day. That is the day you get to eat anything you want and however much you want. It’s a nice reward for eating healthy all month long plus, if you feel guilty, just do a juice cleanse right after. I always do a 1-3 day cleanse from Blueprint Cleanse after the holidays.

4. ALWAYS, and I mean always, do your holiday shopping at least A WEEK before Christmas.

     There have been times where I have either forgotten a gift for someone or just haven’t had time to do my shopping. If you wait until 4 days before Christmas. you’re going to have to either pay $50 for shipping, which is RIDICULOUS, or tell the gift receiver that their gift will be late, exposing you as a late shopper. Just save yourself the trouble and buy your presents early. And, if you’re thinking “Oh, I shop in stores so I can get gifts anytime” WRONG!! The four days before Christmas are the busiest shopping days, next to black friday. You will never get the right gift if you wait.

(Also, spend the extra $3-$5 for gift wrapping, that way it doesn’t look terrible)

5. Get some pretty, scented candles

        So, this one is really necessary. Even the nicest homes are incomplete without candles. They tie everything together, add that extra warmth, and add a pretty touch to your home. I know my sister has TONS of candles. I don’t have any because my dorm won’t allow candles but, I do have some at home and they are to die for. My favorite places to shop for candles are Bath and Body Works and Anthropologie.

6. And Last, but not least, have a warm, fluffy blanket

    This is, by far, one of the most important requirements for winter anywhere, not just in the city. A cute, warm, fluffy blanket is a necessity. Not the old quilt your grandmother made you. While nice and warm, this blanket will not be the eye of the beholder who enters your room. You want to be able to use your blanket when people are around, not hide it because you don’t want them to see it. You want it to say, “Look at my awesome, couture blanket….yes, I even sleep in beautiful things”. My favorite blanket is by Nicole Miller and it is the best blanket EVER!!!!!!

So, that is it for my Holidays in the City Guide. I will be posting my workout, diet, beauty guide, fashion guide, and dorm decor guide soon. I will also be posting the Gift List of what gifts I receive and my New Years post.

The Celebutante Page and The Three F’s Page are up and continuing to run.

I will be updating ASAP.

Loved Always,
