Last Minute New Year's Eve Dress Shopping!

Ok it's time to panic! It's New Year's eve and I still don't have a dress for tonight! Ay Caramba amigos. It's too late for me to even rent the runway. What am I going to do? Gonna take my ass shopping today and hope for a miracle. In the meantime, I have been browsing the information superhighway for some dress ideas before I go out on the hunt. Here are some cute NYE cocktail dresses I've picked out from some of my fave shops!

1. If I had enough time to rent the runway I would have rented out this bad boy for the night:

HERVÉ LÉGER Metallic bandage dress

Retails at $1490 via Net-A-Porter or you can rent it for $150 via Rent the Runway

December Birchbox 2013 - Sparkle and Shine For the Holidays!

Ho Ho Ho my holiday Birchbox is here and I have officially been a member of the fabulous Birchbox community for 13 months! This month, I received a gift separate from my normal box. To celebrate our glorious union, Birchbox sent me a beautiful red leather keychain to go with my eiffel tower charm! It has a tiny pouch where I could keep my favorite sample on the go :)

December Holiday BarkBox 2013

Look at little Leo Creepin' :)

Christmas + Holiday Peppermint Oreo Truffles Recipe 2013

No Baking Necessary! Happy Humpdee Homee. Last night, my sister Xtina came over and we made some de-licious Peppermint Oreo Truffles. They were super easy to make but, require around 3 hours + to make because of the chill times required with the recipe. The Holidaze are here and it's time to put together your best festive fare for your precious guests!

Kylie Jenner's Black Sunnies - Perfect Everyday Sunglasses 2013

Happy Mondee Homiez. Today, I want to talk about the perfect Everyday sunnies. I have been on the prowl for some dope ass everyday sunnies but have been having the hardest time finding something suitable for me.

I wanted something that was inexpensive since I have lost about a dozen pairs in the past few years. One year, my friend Blake carried me into the ocean while I was wearing my beautiful Marc Jacobs Tortoise sunnies and they were never to be seen again. I found a style that I love and that looks amazing on Kylie Jenner. I tried google image searching the pic above to find these sunnies, and went through all her instagram comments like a stalker to see if anyone had mentioned where she them but no one could identify exactly where they were from!

Eventually I found a few similar pairs in all different price ranges :)

November Barkbox 2013

I know it's December, but better late than never! My baby Leo and his cousin Adam loved the November Barkbox so I have to show you all what goodies they enjoyed~!

I really get the most out of every Barkbox, and I promise you that you will not regret signing up. Leo stays healthy and happy thanks to Barkbox, and its completely worth the money if you ask me. I know I've said all this before, but they never seize to amaze me. I'm a working girl and I don't always have time to research new toys and treats for Leo to experience so I love that someone else does it for me. Also, it comforts me to know that everything is made in the

good ol' U.S. of A.

Gossip Girl: Blake Lively Cashmere Wool Lapel Coat

I saw a picture of Serena van der Woodsen aka Blake Lively wearing this a while back and have been obsessed with it ever since!

This is a cashmere wool blended lapel coat and I have no idea who the designer is. I saw the picture floating around and so I went on a hunt. Eventually I found a korean website called Nibbun and used my Korean skills to try and order myself one but it was really hard to navigate their website so I kept looking elsewhere. Eventually, I found this jacket on a website called Flora22 and had to get my hands on it. I love it soooo much and so many people have been asking where I got it so I am sharing this with you amigos.

Burlesque Thanksgiving Eve 2013 - Night @ The Box NYC

Waddup Homiez. 

The holidayz are here and I'm sure you are all sick of Thanksgiving leftovers by now, I know I am but that won't stop me from sharing with you the golden recipes I found/used for gobble day in tomorrow's post perhaps. Also, lo siento for my absence as of late, I have been working on trying to find some ways to redesign Les Bananas and hope to bring you a fresh look sometime in the next month or so. 

Today, I want to share with you my amahzing experience with friends on Thanksgiving eve 

@ The Box NYC.

If I could explain this place in one word = OPULENT

The Box has a sister club in London and it's just as swanky and exclusive. It's pretty expensive to party @ the box so make sure your wallet is stuffed before you get there.
The Box = "Theatre of Varieties" and their burlesque performances are STEAMY HOT. Photos during the show aren't allowed but a snuck short vid of their sexy opening act.
