Happy humpday!

Today’s look is a very easy outfit to mimic. It is based around a neutral color palette and everyday go-to pieces.

These are my favorite distressed/ high-waisted jeans from Levi’s, and are actually one of the least expensive pair I own. I wanted to showcase this leather jacket I haven’t worn yet, so when it came to a top I wanted something very tight fitting. To limit on bulk, and have on a tucked in top that actually STAYS tucked in I went with a bodysuit (which we know are all of the rage right now) I may also add, they are an amazing transitioning piece for an ultra-chic layered look.

I received this skinny scarf as a gift for attending the Zimmermann show, but obviously there are a ton of other options out there. An olive green west 57th schoolbag and glitter Saint Laurent booties draw the finishing touches on a casual everyday look. Thanks for stopping by today. 

XOXO,

PLEATS PLEASE!!

Today I am pairing a light and flowy top with jeans, pumps, and a leather jacket for a casual street look. The yellow top gets its delicate feel from row upon row of pleats. It is still a little chilly out these days...hence the leather jacket (which also offers an edgy vibe)

The yellow and blue tones in today’s outfit just so happen to match my new bag from Henri Bendel perfectly!! This style is the West 57th Satchel in Black Multi and it will be available VERY SOON!! It is one of my favorites because it is so striking!! Stayed tuned for additional posts because I will be sure to keep everyone in the loop when it is available.

This look is one that is easy very to mimic. Mostly everyone owns a leather jacket (it is a closet staple must) All you have to do is find a pleated top and add a pair of pumps…even sandals. Shop my look below:

Hello everyone,

Well, as you have seen on my Instagram, I just got back from Aruba and I had the most amazing and relaxing time. Every year I take two or three vacations with my family and we have been there several times because the Island has the best food, nicest people and pretty much guaranteed great weather. Two years ago we stayed at the brand new Ritz Carlton, which we loved but it is very quiet so this year we decided to go back to the Marriott Stellaris where there is much more activity. The grounds are beautiful and the sun was sizzling, so much so that we had to spend a little less time than usual on the beach. You are right at the equator so you can just imagine how great the weather really is. I cannot say enough about the food and we have several restaurants we frequent, never being disappointed.

We kept it a little more low key than usual this year not fussing as much for dinner, more sandals less on the heels, hair and makeup, which was kind of nice but doesn't always make for the best pics so I will restyle and repost some of my outfits when weather permits. In the meantime I'm back in the Northeast and back on the blog.

I wish I had this maxi dress while in Aruba…it just screams for clear blue water and pink sand. It has that princess feel to it with the flowy bottom. I paired it with pink pumps, and a light blue Edie Parker clutch for a little more color. I hope you like it as much as I do! You can get this look below.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Love Lauren

XOXO

Spring Fever

I have been having serious spring fever. I am over the cold and SO over my winter clothes!! I have been trying to incorporate more color into my outfits along with some lighter weight pieces. This midi skirt from Maje for instance has a neoprene-like finish and all-over print…you could do a lot with this. Today I decided to go with one of my favorite and classic layering pieces…a sleeveless shell (also see the matching cardigan) they always seem to work with just about anything. The sunset pink color adds a fun touch to the green and blue print. This look is still shoppable. See Below:

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:

Hey everyone!! I'm a little late on today's post…but this is an outfit I wore a few weeks ago during NYFW. Originally I paired this with a deep v-neck sweater, but since we are all in fall mode now... today I decided to go with a navy turtleneck. This skirt is from Maje, and sold out  fast (which is happening so much lately). To accessorize this look I added a two-tone fabric belt (also from Maje) a navy leather jacket over my shoulders, and my fav Fendi monster bag!! Shop similar styles below and enjoy your weekend!!

New Friends Colony

Featuring New Friends Colony

I am so excited to collaborate with a great new contemporary brand called New Friends Colony and let me tell you…the pieces are AMAZING! Every garment is hand beaded and detailed with beautiful textures and patterns. From embroidered cami’s, dresses, and even swim suit cover up’s…the collection is the epitome of chic. Inspired by global artisan techniques, New Friends Colony allows us to interpret our own individuality and style. I have never really thought about myself having one particular style, but at this point in time if I HAD to say I would go with classic trendy. I turned this adorable blue and orange beaded shift dress a little trendier by layering both a denim and leather coat. I love shift dresses because they are so easy in the spring and summer to throw on with a pair of sandals during the day or dress up with a heel at night…depending on where you are going. The pieces can be purchased on websites such as RevolveClothing.com and Modcloth.com. If I were you I would hurry and make a purchase before they all sell out!! 

Knit Maxi Dress

Dress:T by Alexander Wang|Jacket:Vince(older)|Pumps:Barbara Bui (older)|
Clutch:Antonello|Choker:Eddie Borgo

Street meets luxury in this tasteful knit maxi dress from the line T by Alexander Wang. The collection is centered more around ‘tee-shirt dressing’, which offers a variety of styling options. I love that this dress is not skin tight, but more stretched out. When going about styling the chunky knit, I went with an urban-chic vibe. I added my new Antonello foldover clutch, which adds a unique touch with its handwoven fabric. I am so in LOVE with it!! The patterns between the clutch and the pumps look really cool together…and speaking of cool!! I finished the look with a black leather bomber jacket, safety chain choker, and long Chan Luu necklace. 

Faith Connexion

Last week I was blowing up my instagram account with photos and videos from the Faith Connexion street art tour. I couldn’t help it…I had such a great time. I wrote my thoughts on the event and the cause under my trending section so be sure to check it out!! I purchased this amazing leather cropped biker’s jacket from the collection, which was customized by graffiti artists Le H and Reyz who were flown in from Paris.  They were AMAZING. On the back of the jacket I had them add NOM (North of Manhattan obviously!!) and Lrecc (my childhood nickname)…and how did I style this leather biker’s jacket?! ALL black of course!! Head-to-toe black in my opinion is the chicest and the coolest, especially with a jacket like this one. I originally was going to pair this look with my over-the-knee Sergio Rossi boots, but I ended up going with my Christian Louboutin leather ankle boots last minute. They give a tough-chic twist to the look without making it look “too biker”.

 Jeans & Chambray Shirt: J.Crew

Leather Jacket: Coach (Older, Similar Here)

Sneakers: Diemme

This leather jacket is one of those 'awesome purchases' I have had for years. Its trendy yet chic cut allows for it to be styled so differently each time it is worn. The fringe adds a motorcycle feel, while the fur trimmed collar adds a luxurious statement when worn on a dressier occasion. I paired this jacket with a chambray shirt and light wash denim jeans to give the old canadian tuxedo a fresher look. Just like the jacket, the denim on denim style has endless possibilities. Paired with these red suede sneaker styled boots makes this outfit urban cool.

Vest: Alice & Olivia (Older,Similar Here)

Jeans: J.Crew

Boots: Stuart Weitzman

Sunglasses: Tom Ford

The norm used to be you did not mix certain colors…but that's not the rule these days. We tend to mix colors, patterns, and textures more now then ever. This is a rule that is made to be broken seeing as these two colors go very well together. Today I paired black jeans with this brown leather jacket and a faux fur vest from Alice & Olivia. The vest has small strands of black running through it and I added my black quilted over-the-knee boots. So, here we have our color, texture, and pattern...
