Okay my fellow coffee lovers, this post is for you! Lavazza coffee and I want to see how you indulge.
Share your coffee moment(s) on Instagram for your chance to win daily prizes of 12oz Lavazza Coffee bags and mugs. Plus five grand prize winners will receive this coffee lovers super basket (pictured above) which includes: Two 12 oz bags of Lavazza Coffee, Lavazza Mug, “Top 100 Coffee Recipes” book, Aerolatte Milke Frother, a Bodum Brazil 3 Cup French Press and a Jolie Scented Candle.
I’m so excited to announce I’ll be joining Lavazza for a second year as their ambassador! I’m such a crazy coffee lady, that having a my refrigerator stocked with Italy’s finest is the greatest thing to wake up to every morning.
It’s been an amazing adventure spending this past month in Australia. And I’m so grateful to have a platform like Instagram where I can share so many of my moments in real time. But nothing tops an album to capture the memories forever.
Today, I’m taken over Mosaic’s instagram page (@MosaicBook) and am sharing some of the highlights from the trip. All of the pictures I’m showing will then be turned into a photo book using the Mosaic’s photo app (available for iPhone and Android and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play).
I’ve featured Mosaic before but for anyone that’s not familiar, Mosaic is a free app, which lets you create a custom photo album book allowing you to pull images from Facebook, Instagram and shared photo albums for just $25. Best of all, it arrives in 2-4 days and takes minutes to create. And if you order between December 11 – 15th, Mosaic is offering free shipping!
It’s one of my favorite gifts to give, especially with the holidays coming up as there’s no better way to capture all your favorite moments then with a Mosaic photo book.
So in honor of my trip and the joys of holiday travel (preferably to warm, tropical areas), we’re giving away 3 of my favorite travel items: The LeSportsac x Ericson Beamon Clutch, Knock Out nail polish in shade, EEL, and a code for a free Mosaic photo book (and shipping) so you can make your own.
There are 2 ways to enter (each counts as a separate entry):

Winner will be announced 12/17. All local, state and federal rules apply.
Rockport’s on a mission — one that I had to try to believe! Having recently launched their #PoweredbyHeels campaign they are out to prove that you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort — especially when it comes to our heels!
It’s no secret women feel more confident and empowered in a pair of pumps (not to mention how much skinnier they make our legs look and elongate us to a more statuesque status). But anyone that’s seen my feet post-fashion week know, they are not a full time reality for this girl (and many of you can relate). And they are completely impractical for most of our everyday actions from grocery shopping to walking the dog — and for you with kids, I don’t know how you do it! So for me, heels are for a 2-4 hour window, mainly events or big meetings and then back to flats. I’m far from petite at 5’9″ so anything longer is just asking for it! Until now.

Rockport’s new Total Motion collection is designed in Italy and offers women a stylish shoes with comfort technology and the dependability you would expect from your favorite, most technologically advanced pair of running shoes. Sound’s crazy, right? I thought so too until I put my feet in their Desert Boot — and it was like heaven. The cushioning and warmth is insane! There is no other high heel that compares, I could live in these. I wish all heels would develop this technology since it’s beyond!
Rockport challenged me to do my everyday tasks I don’t generally do, and last night I took them for a test drive grocery shopping and today I took my neighbor’s doggie, Ellie for a walk. We toured LIC like champs, stopping for coffee and spending the AM outside.
I’m powered by NYC, and Rockport wants to know your secret to your style. Show us what powers your day by posting a photo on Facebook, tag Rockport Shoes and use the hashtags #PoweredByHeels and #sweeps” for your chance to win free pair of Rockport shoes and a chance to win an all-expense paid trip for a spa weekend in Miami. Enter through October 15th, good luck!

Well my loves, we have an exciting giveaway for you! As you all know I’m a Lavazza coffee addict and part of their Passionista program. And this week they’re letting me giveaway a Keurig K10 Mini Plus Personal Brewer and all four packs of the NEW specialty drip coffee blends – Gran Aroma, Classico, Gran Selexione, and Perfectto – in Keurig K-Cup packs!
I used to have the full size Keurig but living in an NYC apartment it got too bulky and I eventually gave it away and went back to using a french press. This Keurig mini model is much more in par with my lifestyle and I get to enjoy the same delicious, specialty drip coffee blends now made for the Keurig!
