Ruffle Flares

Good afternoon everyone!!! I hope everyone’s holiday was amazing! I feel like it has been years since I have posted a new look on the blog soo lets get to it!

These black jeans detailed in ruffles from the knee to the floor are probably one of the coolest sample sale finds ever. The ruffles are so chic and girly. Pieces like this are my favorite because they are so unique and it is difficult to find similar items. On top I went with a sleek jacket with a soft leopard-printed for a polished look. The jacket is now a sale…I would say a must to purchase!! I paired my Stuart Weitzman black calf-hair booties to finish off this outfit. Shop this look and similar items below:

My favorite new layer is this jacket from J.Crew. It is so fluffy and teddy bear-like made from a Sherpa fabric. Olive green is a neutral color so I decided to spice up this look with calf hair booties and a gold lettered graphic tee…Toast of the Town. You can always add a cute statement to your outfit this winter by pairing the perfect hat. Shop this look below:

Hi Everyone!!

I love the color red this time of year. It is so stunning.

Last week I received this beautiful custom made coat all the way from Dubai. This floor-length coat is a statement piece for sure. I cannot thank the designer Katya Kovtunovich enough. She is taking the world by storm with her modern interpretation on Arabic fabrics by creating clothes that appeal to women worldwide.

I paired an all black look underneath for a chic, yet simple look as this coat does all of the talking. A matching beret and jeweled belt add the finishing touches. Keep an eye out for this designer as she has royal and celebrity admirers including Lady Gaga.  

Lessons in Layering

Tis’ the season for layering...a look that can keep you warm but also make an outfit more interesting. All you need to do is combine a few basics along with some similar style pieces. My basics today consist of a navy turtleneck and a pair of jeans. I have mixed in a feminine and fitted houndstooth blazer with a buffalo-check vest and oversized scarf.

You have to check out the Sperry collection for J.Crew!! The winter-weather-ready boots are cozy and perfect for the snow. You can shop this look and similar below. Have a great day everyone!! XOXO

Necessary Neutral

Many of you may know my Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots are my everyday winter go-to’s…literally worth every penny. However, the newer version with shearling trim may be my new found love. A necessary neutral and very sophisticated.

Today I have on a borrowed-from-the-boys oversized shirtdress layered under an oversized knit with high side slits. I figured I may as well take advantage of the so called “warmer” weather before winter actually hits us. You can shop this look and similar below. Thanks for stopping by!!

Hey guys!! I am off to a late start today…oops (just one of those days!!)

I am rocking another one of my favorite midi skirts today, which also can be perfect for the holidays and holiday parties. This one is printed with stripes and birds and has such a delightful charm to it. I put on a striped top, pair of stylish shearing earmuffs, leather gloves, and lace-up leather pumps for a glam/chic look with warmth and style. You can shop this look and similar below:

Classic buffalo check =a no-brainer. It has such a cold weather feel to it. Today I paired an oversized wool checked scarf with a similar style down vest, which is perfect for layering. The pattern just gives off feelings of warmth.

If you are feelin foxy then this hat is a must!! It is too cute with its face just peaking out over the cuff and detailed with rhinestone eyes, a faux fur pompom on top, and tail in the back. Have a wonderful week everyone. You can shop this look below:

Perfect Plaid

Happy Friday everyone!!

Today’s look is pretty casual and focused around classic black and red plaid. I think the crazy thing about the bold pattern is that it has so many different connotations (preppy, punk, grungy, chic etc.) There is a bit of a combo in this outfit- ranging from distressed jeans to this charming crossbody bag.

What are everyone’s weekend plans?! Do you have any awesome outfits picked out you are dying to wear?? I would love to hear about it! Thanks for stopping by!! Shop today’s look below:

Paired to Perfection

This fringed suede skirt is such a showstopper and can work wonders with just about anything. Today I am getting a little into pattern mixing with stripes and patchwork booties. Stripes work because the colors look great together and the skirt adds a solid, which breaks up the prints. To get the J.Crew look, it is all about the magic in the mix.  Hence, the darker suede booties and tortoise necklace, which add a chic statement that is hard to describe. Below, you can shop my look and similar:

Houndstooth Mini

Sweater:J.Crew|Skirt:Forever21|Boots:Stuart Weitzman

Mini Skirts never really go out of style. They are fun fashion items that anyone can rock with the proper accessories. Today’s mini features an allover houndstooth pattern with two front pockets. I may also add this particular mini is under $20 (so crazy!!)

If you are looking to switch up your look consider pairing your mini skirt with tights, stockings, or leggings. On top you can also go with a bomber (which are very on trend right now) layered over a chunky knit or even a cropped leather/suede jacket.  Shop this look and similar mini skirts below:

Pink Fluff

Good morning and happy Monday!! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. Today’s look is pink and fluffy. With the holidays around the corner and cold weather coming hats and jackets can make awesome gifts.

Today I have on a classic flight jacket in pink. It fits oversized and fully lined, which makes it great for the winter. I am always a fan of Eugenia Kim accessories. They are designed with feminine modernity, unexpected details, bold colors, and they never disappoint. The chunky knit I have on today is so adorable with pink pom poms on top!! It is linked and exclusive to Neiman Marcus and I also have listed a few other favorites. Shop my look below:

Today’s sweater is also one of my holiday picks. It is impossible for this not to make you feel so happy!! The arms are covered with rhinestone-studded appliqués, which include hearts, cameras, glasses of wine, lips, and pizza! Too good!! It is one of my pick’s because it is too playful not to love. It can be paired with a skirt or trousers, but today I went with jeans for a very casual look. I wore my gold booties because they add to the fun of the look.

Below shop this look and similar sweaters, which include a few different appliqués on them.

Good morning and happy hump day everyone!!

The weather has been so hot and cold lately…literally. I am soo not ready to take out all of my heavy winter coats, but this knit fall outfit makes the transitioning just a little easier. I decided to pair these metal detailed leggings with the matching zip-up cardigan for a retro/chic look. Some people may gravitate to the skirt instead, which is also listed below.

When I first saw these Miu Miu booties in the store…it was love at first sight. Patent leather shoes are so chic and these belt-like fastenings are just beyond. Not to mention…the pointy-toe and chunky heel reflect the themes of the FW15 runway show. They are not available online, but I have picked out some similar favorites.

Thanks for stopping by today!! XOXO

A Wink of Pink

Dress:Banana Republic|Booties:Chanel|Necklace:Mignonne Gavigan|Bag:Chloe (Similar)

Today’s shirtdress is one of my recent favorites…mostly because of how feminine it is. The tiered ruffle hem is dainty and chic and looks absolutely adorable when you put a little pep in your step.

My accessories add pops of pink throughout this look. This hand-beaded scarf necklace is one I have admired since I first saw it at Intermix over the summer. And then…a few weeks ago I was getting my hair done at Brush NYC and got talking to the lady next to me about these amazing earrings she had. It ended up being Mignonne Gavigan, the designer of the line. She invited me to her showroom and I came home with some stunning pieces, which you can expect to see this week. While in the showroom, I also got to preview the Spring/Summer 16 pieces and I CANNOT wait…especially for one piece in particular. I will provide more information throughout the week. For now, shop my look below:

Beanie Weather

Sweater:Vince|Boots:Stuart Weitzman|Beanie:Autumn Cashmere (currently not available online)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

I am unsure why it is soo hard to find a nice oversized black sweater…but it is. This one by Vince is a bit of a splurge, but it will take you through fall and winter with ease. It is incredibly soft and can look chic from day to night.

It may have been really nice out these last few days, but winter aka beanie weather is around the corner and all of the cute ones always sell out fast. This snowflake pompom one is by Autumn Cashmere. They always have super cute sets. Last year I purchased a matching leopard beanie, scarf, and glove set which is still one of my favorites from them. Unfortunately, this snowflake one is currently not available online but I will keep checking in and keep you posted. Below, I rounded up pieces from this look and some of my favorite winter beanies this season. Keep in mind that cold weather accessories can make awesome holiday gifts!!

Sometimes casual style=the best style

This effortlessly chic dress by BB Dakota masters casual wear.  The bold and color block knit makes as the perfect dress for warmer days and the perfect layering piece for when it cools down. You could add leggings, jeans, a belt, and even a collared shirt….talk about versatile.

Today’s accessories include suede booties, a slim crossbody bag that also converts into a clutch, and a scarf draped over my shoulders. This bag is also available in other colors if you were to decide to go with the blue or tan version of this dress. Shop this look below:

Red Accents

Sweatshirt:H&M|Jeans:Joe's Jeans|Boots:Toga Pulla|Scarf:Vintage Celine|Hat:Older

You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to spice up your look…sometimes all you need are the right accessories. Even the most boring outfits can be transformed with the help of a few key pieces. Today I have on jeans and a plain black sweatshirt (boring right?!) but the outfit is given character by red accents and a mod inspired driving cap.

Around my neck is a Celine printed silk scarf I ordered off of the vintage boutique on Farfetch. There are some really awesome pieces on there for great prices.  The red design just happens to match my new Toga Pulla boots….which I immediately became obsessed with as soon as I saw. I think the western style silver buckles on the side are just the coolest and the scarf adds a perfect refined touch.  

If you are searching for a plain sweatshirt, I recommend this one from H&M. It is a great price and also comes in light pink and gray. Below, shop this look and my scarf picks (both vintage & new) I hope everyone has an amazing weekend. XOXO

Stripe Shirt Dress

One of my favorite things about the line BB Dakota is that they allow you to have fun with their pieces and style them in your own way. I own a few of their shirt-dresses and they are seriously the best. They usually come with a button-in lining so you have so many options. You may decide to wear it as a dress, an oversized shirt, or even unbutton it and wear as a longer layering piece.

Today’s look is all about the shirt-dress. I decided to give my stripes a little bit of sas with a beaded flower choker and my favorite over-the-knee boots…and does this leather vest look familiar to you?! If it does, that’s because it is the BCBG wrap dress you may have seen me in recently…another great versatile item. Below I have rounded up a few of my favorite shirt-dresses right now along with similar chokers.
         Thanks for stopping by & happy Shopping! XOXO

Cargo&Camo

Sweater:Current/Elliott|Denim:Citizens of Humanity(Similar)|Boots:Aldo|Bag:Fendi (Similar)

How ironic is it that something that is used to blend in with your surroundings is also a fashion trend that can make you stand out?!  Camouflage is typically a more rugged look, but there are just as many high-end pieces out there as there are your everyday tee’s and sweaters.

The oversized cardigan I have on today is by Current/Elliot and I LOVE it. It is so comfortable, and oversized sweaters are the best for fall and winter because you can put them on with legit anything. I decided to stay with the oversized vibe, and added my boyfriend/cargo jeans along with my new suede booties and perfectly matching Fendi bag! Below you will see other pieces by Current/Elliot along with one of my favorite items- the cargo pants by Faith Connexion (first seen on Kim K). I am obsessed.

What are your opinions on camo? Love or hate?!
