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

Bonjour!!!

I am feeling very Parisian today with my new Stella McCartney beret…so what better way to accessorize it than with a Paris scarf draped across my shoulders. Both lend an effortlessly chic finish to this look. As you may know by now, I tend to stick to neutrals when the weather changes. They are easy to mix-and-match, are simple and versatile.

My parents bought me this scarf while they were in Paris, so unfortunately I have no advice on where to purchase it! The good news is…you do not need it to pull off this look. Below I have picked out other berets, wraps, and scarves that will work just as well. Remember, you do not need to stick to one neutral color. I hope you enjoy! Have a great day!

Say It With Stripes

Dress:BCBG|Top:T by Alexander Wang|Booties:Reed Krakoff(older)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

A recent favorite purchase of mine is this perfectly tailored wrap dress. Not only do I love the edginess of it and that it can be worn from day to night, but also that it can be layered as a vest piece.

Today I am “Saying it with Stripes” with a ribbed statement turtleneck paired underneath. Turtlenecks are a favorite staple of mine for the fall and winter mostly because they are perfect for both formal and casual events and for layering as cool weather approaches.  

As you know…I have been obsessed with booties lately. The pair I have on today are by Reed Krakoff and unfortunately no longer available, but I found some really great alternatives. Shop my look and similar below:

You Make Me Blush

Co-Ord-Asos|Blouse:Anne Fontaine|Bag:Chloe(sold out)|Booties:Reed Krakoff(older)

Co-ords have been such a popular trend lately. Whether it is due to the fact they can be worn any time of the day, on any occasion, or maybe because they have an awesome print…

My reason for this set? I love that the tailored vest and wide-leg culottes are not your average and predictable skirt and crop top. Originally I planned on wearing the vest with a silk neck scarf, but I love the white blouse combination. The double collar on this one adds a chic and sophisticated touch.  I kept my accessories to a minimum today and added my Faye small shoulder bag by Chloé for a more refined look.

When it comes to wearing color I am such a pink girl or in this case…blush. If you are more of a neutral girl…be sure to check out the silver gray version below along with similar items!! Happy shopping!!

Act Natural

So happy to be back on the blog today, yet so sad summer is coming to an end. I just got back from vacation on Saturday and I am missing the beach oh soo much. The weather was perfect and I am not looking forward to the winter.

Today I am wearing an ivory tunic (now on sale), which actually fits as a dress on me. It is VERY oversized and has a polo/tennis feel to it. The contrasting ribbon stripes make it very easy to pair with all of your favorite neutral accessories, which is why I added my two-tone Reed bag to bring in some other colors. The dress is also available in black. Shop this look below:

Precious and Primitive

Scarf:Precious and Primitive| Denim:Rag and Bone| Pumps: Christian Louboutin

Today I am showing off my beautiful new scarf from a recent collaboration with Precious and Primitive. The line created by Stephanie Sachs and Sandee Zahn combines precious fabrics with primitive designs, and uses bold colors and patterns in their ultra soft scarves. The tribal pattern (pictured above) has rich shades of brown and cream, which is perfect for me because I love neutrals so much.

I decided to be very simple today, while pairing the scarf with a white tee, denim, and my nude pumps. There are so many unique ways you can style the scarfs from headpieces, to tops, and even sarongs.

Hues of Blue

Happy Friday everyone,

It feels so good to finally be out and about after much family illness. This week I was in New York with my sister and friends and we have been having such a good time. Wednesday we went to a white party at Bagatelle and Thursday we were invited to a launch party for StyleLend in Soho that was hosted in a beautiful penthouse owed by Nouriel Roubini. I had a chance to meet some really nice people and from there we had a great time bouncing around the city.

Now I am on to today's post where I am wearing my favorite white Joe's Jeans and this knit multi-color striped top with contrasting cuffs from T by Alexander Wang (on sale now!!). I am loving the striking look of this top and I added a blue belt that came on an older random dress and it just happened to work perfectly. 

Adding a neutral pump and a bag from Reed and all set for a casual day. I'm off running errands today. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see you Monday!

Watch Your Step

Jcrew:Sweater|Shorts|Belt|Bag:Reed Krakoff (Last Seen Here)| Pumps:Christian Louboutin

Hi everyone, hope your day is going well…just arrived in the city and putting up a quick post before running around. These 'Bermuda like' shorts are a perfect length to pair with pumps for me since I am not a real fan of short shorts with high heels. They are casual yet chic with the gold tuxedo stripe and super comfortable. Most of what I am wearing today is from J.Crew and I added my Reed Krakoff bag because it pulls the calf hair belt and all of the neutrals together.

Happy Thursday to all my friends…the holiday weekend is almost here and I hope everyone has a great one.  It has a tendency to rain every memorial weekend, so with any luck the weather will hold out.  I am wearing these high-waisted trousers from Zara today with a simple striped sleeveless top and I have this beautiful tote from Reed Krakoff that has a pretty blue lining so my denim Louboutins are again, perfect as the top also has a blue stripe in it.  The outfit is what I call casual chic…and I would be comfortable wearing it just about anywhere. I could also add the little jacket from yesterdays post with this if I needed a little warmth or wanted to dress it up a bit. I think I will go out and purchase a couple more of them because they are so great for that added something…

Nautical-Prep

_55A4285.jpg

You may recognize this dress from a recent post, however today it is taking an entire180. The striped dress I had paired with fringe rain boots and knee socks, I am now wearing with a deep V-neck sweater and patent leather pumps. The extra-long white knit just screams spring!! There is something very nautical and preppy about the stripes against the white and that is what inspired todays look. Both pieces can easily be styled on the more casual side, however I went with a pair of pumps instead of a white sneaker for a more elegant look.

Skirt: Theory/ Top: Theory/ Boots:Reed Krakoff/ Bag: Balenciaga 

Beach weather and vacation cannot come soon enough. It has been so cold this winter…I just cannot wait until it is over. I am doing my best to get a variety of outfits in even though the weather has been horrible. Todays matching skirt and top is made by Theory. Unfortunately I am not able to show you the sleeve on this cropped pullover…it has long dropped sleeves which give the outfit a very relaxed look. Instead of the matching prosecco colored skirt, I chose the black for a little contrast along with black tights and these low gray Reed Krakoff boots which seem to be a crowd pleaser. You could also choose to wear high boots or even a really nice pump to complement this outfit.

Sweater: Joie/ Pants: J.Crew/ Top: J.Crew/ Boots: Reed Krakoff 

What seems to work for me when I am dressing for the day is to choose in three's. Whether it be texture or pattern then, I like to add a splash of color somewhere in my outfit…it tends to make everything pop out at you. Since I am more of a neutral girl I don't go overboard with a lot of color. You will most often see me in shades of a neutral. When spring and summer come around I get a little more adventurous, but during the winter months I will play more with the textures and patterns in gray, black, cream, etc.

I bought this topcoat exclusive for Intermix in early fall and it really has become one of my go-to staples. It always looks so chic no matter if it is dressed up or down…that's what I love most about it. Today for a casual day time look I paired it with my favorite skinny jeans from J.Crew that I cuffed above my boots and a simple blouse…making for an easy go-to outfit.

Layering is a necessity this time of year…with the weather so up and down it is important to have layers that you can either add or remove if it gets too warm. These black leather shorts are a perfect year-round piece. Today I added tights and a bulky knit sweater paired with an infinity scarf, a gray beanie from J.Crew, and this gray coatigan, which makes this outfit effortlessly cool.

I dressed this outfit up by adding a touch of red, an oversized blouse, and "The Little Black Sweatshirt".

I was debating whether or not to keep these shoes, but once I tried them on with a few outfits I decided, they were a go. I love them with everything, but today I paired them with black jeans and this great sweatshirt from The Textile Rebels. The black and red together create a very dynamic look. I added the fedora for fun. Love this outfit.
