Mensy Trousers

Today’s I am taking notes from the boys in these ‘mensy’ trousers. They are a really cool piece because they are a relaxed silhouette, but really can be dressed up and dressed down.

Another week means more outfits!!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and that all of the moms out there had a great mother’s day.

Today’s look is a short’s suit. I find them to be professional for the work environment, yet they are also timeless and flattering for spring and summer events.  I love tailored pieces like these because they have various styling options when worn as separates. The sophisticated and feminine pieces are the perfect touch. Shop today's look below:

One and Done

Three words: One And Done.

The go to one piece is style simplified…no mixing or matching necessary. Slip into a striking jumpsuit then step out. My favorite part about wearing any style onsie is that it makes getting ready so much easier. You never have to run around searching for the perfect top or bottom. You pick out your shoes, add some jewls, and bam! You are done. You can grab your bag and out the door you go.

The romper I have on today is by Alexis. The entire line is so stunning. It has a lot going on in all the right ways as it comprises both ruffles and lace (my favorite.) Since it is a little on the dressier side I based my picks below on pieces that make a statement. I hope you enjoy.Thanks for stopping by!!

Easily Suede

I wore this outfit a couple of weeks ago to the preview of the Rag and Bone capsule collection for Intermix. The Pope was in town (AKA lot’s of traffic) and as I was rushing out the door to catch my Uber my sister snapped a few quick photos for me. I previously posed one on Instagram, but didn’t think it did the trick of showing off the outfit…so here we are!

One of the hottest trends right now is suede, and there is just soo much you can do with it. Whether it be layering it up (suede on suede), adding suede shoes, or if you are a festival girl…the obvious fringe and tassels! Think chic nude, tan, burnt orange, mustard, and even burgundy. I decided to pair a lace blouse with my brown suede shorts, and then added my new favorite patchwork suede ankle boots, which tie in all of the perfect colors for fall. Below, shop similar alternatives. Thanks for stopping by. XOXO

White Moves

Top:Alexis|Shorts:Alexis|Pumps:Rene Caovilla|Choker:Eddie Borgo

This is definitely one of my favorite outfits ever!! As much as bright colors and brilliant prints have their place in most everyone’s wardrobe, there is just something about all white that makes a statement on its own. An easy way to style an all white outfit is by investing in a matching set (like this one by Alexis). A minimal approach should never be underestimated. It may be a white on white set, however the delicate fabric of the sheer crotchet mixed with the bell half sleeves set this outfit apart from others. As for accessories, I decided to glam this look up by pairing it with leather sling-back pumps with a black Swarovski crystal contrast. 

 

Leather & Lace

Before going to the Bahamas in May I had originally bought the Stuart Weitzman gladiator sandals with the side zipper and elastic straps in the back… however, I ended up returning them because the straps didn’t fit my leg properly (a constant shoe struggle of mine). On my last visit to the city I found the “Backview Sandal” (photographed above) and they are the perfect addition to my wardrobe. Not only do they fit better with the adjustable straps, they are a chic cross between a boot and the popular gladiator sandal. They give a funky and more rebellious look to any outfit. The cutouts make a simple black dress like this Alice & Olivia one look fierce, and I love the combination of the bold leather with the dainty lace. I layered a few of my favorite Chan Luu necklaces with my crescent shaped Alexis Bittar because in this case…more is more. 

LWD

Dress:Banana Republic|Sandals:Christian Louboutin (Similar Here)

I hope everyone had an amazing Memorial Day weekend!! Now that summer has kicked off, what better way to start it than with the perfect little white dress?! The LWD is a new wardrobe staple and a must for the summer. The best part is you can dress it down or glam it up just like the little black dress. This lace shift dress from Banana Republic is so breezy and I am such a fan of the neckline on it. One of the best parts about a LWD is that you can do so much with it…add color, an edgier piece, or even mix prints. Today I went with a pop of color in my sandals! The mix of fuchsia, yellow, and turquoise make the outfit playful and summer ready. When I styled this piece on vacation I went with an edgier-chic look with a silver choker and neon pumps. White is so versatile and I love it. 

Lace Maxi

Lace Maxi Skirt: Alice and Olivia| Lace Crop Top: Alice and Olivia

Hi everyone!!! I just got back from the Bahamas yesterday and I had a great time!! The weather was beautiful and I met a lot of new friends! Now it is back to reality. Next week I will be posting all of my vacation looks, but this is one from my last shoot. As you know…I am obsessed with Alice & Olivia and this is one of my favorite looks. The set has so much sex appeal. The long pencil style skirt has a slit up the back and detailed with a nude lining, while the matching crop top twists at the top with an open back. The zipper runs straight down from the top and eventually opens into the V slit of the skirt. I hope you like it as much as I do.
