From shirtdresses to evening slips, floral dresses are always a must…summer just wouldn’t be the same without them…

Monday got me like…
Messy hair. Don’t care.
With the weather staying a little bit on the warmer side…I like to get in some cute skirts and dresses without leggings or tights. The checked mini I have on today is from Zara and finished off with a built in knot, which is a detail you may see on a lot of pieces these days. It adds a subtle and fresh twist on your day-to-day look. I paired it with a crisp blouse with a sharp stand collar buttoned up all of the way and pinned it with a Chanel brooch.
As I was finishing up today’s post and browsing the internet for similar skirts to link I came across a site that had an identical piece. Below, shop today’s look along with a few mini skirts I just couldn’t resist to add!! Have a great week everyone!
XOXO,

Hi everyone,
I'm kind of over the winter clothes so, I am starting to incorporate some new spring stuff into my looks. As the seasons change, I am finding myself drawn a little more to color then I normally would be. I'm not quite sure if it's a permanent thing or if it's just giving me a little lift after the winter. I guess we will see how it goes.
This week is fashion week in New York and I am so excited to be attending some of the shows and head out for some fun with friends. I will be posting on Instagram (@northofmanhattan) and snap (@laurrecc), so I hope you will follow along to see what's going on. As always, feel free to comment and if there is anything in particular you would like to see, please let me know.
Love Lauren

This sweater is one of my favorite winter purchases. The oversized silhouette gives you so many options for styling and layering…even the possibility of layering it over the perfect dress. Today I decided on a yellow mini skirt and leopard beanie for a hip yet ultimately casual look. You can create this look with pretty much any solid mini and oversized sweater/top. It is perfect for the around-town gal who wants to look cool yet not overdone. You can shop this look and similar below. Thanks for stopping by!! XOXO

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

There is something about the ribbon bib on this shirt that makes me fall in love with it. It almost has a baby doll style look when buttoned to the top. Instead of dressing the ‘tux-like’ shirt up, I paired it with skinny stretch cargo pants, which match perfectly to the color of my Miu Miu crystal sneakers. An oversized trucker denim jacket on top and a plaid button up tied around my waist make for a look that never goes out of style.

I am finishing up with my winter wardrobe and looking forward to starting my spring shopping. This is such a difficult time of year because we are still getting snow and as much as I want to start wearing lighter weight fabrics the weather does not want to cooperate!! We are off to a bright and sunny start to the day but we are still cold enough for snow here in New York. So for now, coats and sweaters are still in and those lightweight prints are on the back burner. Today I paired these checkered skinny jeans with my oversized white Moschino tee, which gives the outfit a lighter feel and added a leather paneled cardigan from J.Crew along with a black coat and my Miu Miu booties…I hope to be out of the winter mode soon.
Button up: J.Crew/ Choker: Eddie Borgo/ Flats: Miu Miu/ Fur: Alice & Olivia/ Denim: Joes Jeans
It seems that the 90’s are back my friends and just in the NECK of time. Another fad from the decade, chokers are big and better than ever. I recently purchased this thin safety chain choker designed by Eddie Borgo that I have been eyeing for some time now, and I still cannot get enough of it. This one in particular rests at the base of the neck and looks great with deep cut shirts. Not only does it complement the silver captoe of these Miu Miu flats, it also brings a cool and sexy edge to this outfit. I have on an oversized white button up partially tucked into my distressed denim for a more casual look. The black and white stripped Alice and Olivia fur adds a little extra flavor worn over the shoulders.

There is just something about dressing in all black that just always looks and feels so cool. Whether it is how chic it is, easy to pair, or perfect for layering, it differs for everyone, for me, it always makes me feel sophisticated. This black dress from Theory forms to the body and is finished with a ribbed turtleneck and cap sleeves for a very minimalist look. I love pieces like this that work anywhere and everywhere and offer a simple solution to getting dressed. I paired it with my metal tipped suede ankle boots and studded bomber jacket for an edgier look, which is a little bit different for me.

One of the reasons I love plaid is because it is so versatile. This coat from Intermix can be worn with gray, tones of red, pink, or as you see here I paired it with a lavender sweater and cream colored jeans. You can dress it both up with a skirt or down with trousers. It just seems to work with a lot. If you are a neutral girl, the colors are muted to give you just enough of what you need without being too bold.
