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

Skirt:Maje|Top:J.Crew|Jacket:Theory(older)|Pumps:Christian Louboutin

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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:

Birds On A Wire

Top:Topshop|Skirt:Chicwish|Pumps:Jimmy Choo|Sunnies:Jimmy Choo|Earmuffs:J.Crew

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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:

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:

Wanted

Skirt:Chicwish|Top:Topshop|Sunnies:Jimmy Choo|Shoes:Jimmy Choo|Wrislet:Coach

I am going to go out on a limb here and say this branch out pleated maxi skirt from Chicwish is seriously the coolest statement piece for the fall. I get such an October/ November vibe from the black and white print. I kept this look sharp with a black top, lace-up pumps, and added an envelope style wristlet with a script message-Wanted. Below you can shop this look and similar black and white skirts. Thanks for stopping by!! XOXO

Fall Magic

Sweater:TopShop|Pants:TopShop|Shoes:TopShop(Similar)|Bag:Mansur Gavriel (sold out)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

You can expect to see me in a lot of TopShop this fall. I have been finding the pieces to be the perfect mix between the catwalk and the street. Today’s entire ensemble is indeed- TopShop.

I paired this cropped retro sweater with ivory trousers. There are a lot of details in these pieces that just seem to work even though they are different styles. From the black tassels on the sweater, button details on the pant pockets, and even the wrap-around tie fastening on the shoes…there is definitely some fall magic happening here.

Side note: These shoes were a favorite of mine last season and I could not be happier to see them yet again this year in suede and all different colors!! Shop this look and similar below!

Boom

Sweatshirt:MSGM|Skirt:Derek Lam (last seen here)|Pumps:Alexandre Birman(older)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

And just like that….BOOM… it's Monday again. 

I love graphic tee's for the summer but when the weather starts to cool down I like to look for graphic sweatshirts and other layering pieces for the fall and winter. These pullovers (that come in various styles) can be our answer to in-between-seasons dressing, but more importantly statement pieces that can be paired with unexpected separates. 

I paired this sweatshirt from MSGM with a checkered, knit skirt from Derek Lam (one of my favorites.) I think it adds a really cool element to this look, not to mention the color red is always so striking.  Shop more from this look below. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Knit Puffball Skirt

Turtleneck:Alice&Olivia(here in black)|Skirt:Maje (currently sold out)|Belt:Maje|Leather Coat:Theory(sold out/similar below)|Bag:Fendi
Dino Petrocelli Photography

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!!

London Calling

Top:Milly|Skirt:Chicwish|Pumps:Jimmy Choo

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Cheerio!

London fashion week has just come to a close, but I thought it would be the perfect time to share this fabulous skirt while London is still on everyone’s mind! The detailed red telephone booth and bus are a unique statement on this cool midi-skirt.  I paired it with my cropped mock neck knit from Milly and lace up leather pumps (which also come in red)

Yesterday I spent the day shooting a bunch of new looks to share, and when I got on the elevator to shoot some rooftop shots something happened that could not have been scripted. My hands were full and I dropped my phone….into the elevator shaft…you know that little slit the size of a penny….and down it went…2 entire floors.  We all stood there in shock like did that seriously just happen…then burst out laughing. I cannot tell you all of my experiences with cell phones. Anyway, long story short I ended up getting it back after a few phone calls were made and there was not even 1 single crack on the screen. Talk about luck!

I hope today’s look is totally your cup of tea!! Thanks for stopping by.

New Neutral

Romper:Rag&Bone|Clutch:Lanvin (older)|Pumps:Christian Louboutin|Choker:Eddie Borgo|Necklace:Alex Bittar

Dino Petrocelli Photography

With summer coming to a close and fall right around the corner we all have one thing in mind…transitional dressing. Sometimes it can be the worst especially when it comes to shoes!!

When I think about shifting into fall, I start to wear more neutrals. It is important to remember there are more neutrals than just your black, gray, and beige shades. Think olive green, mustard yellow, burgundy, etc.

It is still very hot out so I am sticking to cooler clothing for now. When the temperature starts to change, a silk romper like the one I am wearing today can easily be paired with an oversized sweater.

Shop this look below.

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:

Fine Print

Every time you “have nothing to wear” are your black and white pieces your go-to?! I know for me I feel like I can always depend on my all black or all white outfit’s last minute. There is something faultless and reassuring about simple black and white and todays outfit combines the two.

 After purchasing my first Tanya Taylor piece last fall, I fell in love with the line.  There is something very feminine and chic about her garments. I love this dress in particular not only because of the fine print, but because of the style as well. It is almost trendy and elegant at the same time with the A-line hem and the cut-out shoulders. I added my black and white contrast leather pumps and went for a little jewelry change…switching up my usual Yurman chain for my Alexis Bitter crescent necklace. 

Ready to Romp

Sometimes all you need is something as small as a belt to transform an outfit. When first picking out this look I kept going back to my hot pink Louboutin pumps, but was getting pink overload. When I held up a belt I recently bought I knew it was the missing piece. Although this two-tone belt from Maje came in for the fall I love the texture it adds along with denim and burgundy tones. Shop Below!

Silver Lining

Top:A.L.C.|Culottes: Zara| Pumps: Christian Louboutin (Sold Out, Also Love This Pair)

I am such a huge fan of culottes. You can take the wide-legged pant anywhere with the right accessories and colors…not to mention there are now so many different styles ranging from denim to leather. The white pair I am wearing today are from Zara, which were very affordable (and makes them even better!) I added neon pink So Kate pumps with a silver/metallic halter crop top for a splash of color. Shop similar below. 

Tassels

Crop Top: J.O.A.| Skort: J.O.A.| Bag: Chloe (pre-order here in grey)| Pumps: Christian Louboutin

Tonal tassels are a go today. They add a subtle yet adorable element to this set by J.O.A. (which I may add is soo reasonably priced!) The tank has a cropped silhouette and the high-waisted skort is shaped by a wrap-style, creating the skirt in the front/ shorts in the back look. For looks like this I prefer to stay simple with accessories to keep it sophisticated. I paired my nude pumps and blush Chloe bag to add a hint of color, creating a clean and contemporary outfit.

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

Sweater:T by Alexander Wang| Denim:Joe's Jeans| Pumps:Christian Louboutin| Bag: Reed Krakoff

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. 

Southern Charm

Dress:Rebecca Minkoff |Shoes:Christian Louboutin (also love these)|Hat:JCrew

It seems every time I post an outfit I’m saying “I’m obsessed’ or “I love”….well, clearly I have no problem shopping. I could buy everything I see that speaks to me (but I’d be broke) because there is plenty that speaks to me (aka everything). When I saw this Rebecca Minkoff dress and the way the shoulders drop and the beautiful blue tribal trim I knew I had to have it…thinking it would be so much fun to add this blue hat and my denim Louboutin pumps I went for it…. feeling very Southern today. I see myself wearing this dress a lot…from day time festivities to the horse track this summer!

Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit:Alice & Olivia (Last Seen Here)

Happy Friday to all,

Well it has been a bit of a rough time with the passing of my grandfather, I will miss him greatly as we shared a very special bond. I’m finally back on the blog and looking forward to a great summer and some travel. Just got back from spending some time in the city with my family to get a few things done then back home to shoot and can’t wait to get posting again!! Today I am wearing this white jumpsuit from Alice and Olivia. The pants and top are connected in the back by a zipper that runs straight up and then the outfit has a cute vest with a loose ruffle along the bottom over it. I can see myself getting a lot of use out of it as it is both a little dressy and casual at the same time. I have chosen to pair with a patterned shoe and then a simple black clutch for a subdued look but you could easily wear a pop of color for a statement outfit or choose to go all white. You can also switch it up a bit by taking the vest off. There are countless ways to style this look. I would love to hear how you would choose to wear it!! Have a great weekend. I’ll see you on Monday!!
