Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all had an amazing holiday season.  So far, the cold weather seems to be holding off enough to get out and still feel comfortable enough to shoot without a coat and not freeze to death. I recently found this tweed plaid shift at forever 21 for such a great price I couldn't pass it up. Would you ever guess that it was just 28 dollars? The fabric is a nice quality and I love how the bottom is just frayed. This one is so easy to style, it makes perfect sense to add a black body suit, I chose a turtleneck but you could easily wear a blouse or even a long sleeved tee. Normally I would wear my over the knee boots bare legged but today I decided to add black tights. You could even wear a textured pair for an extra punch if you like.  Being so into hats lately, when I saw this cute number at my sisters I thought I would just borrow it thinking it would be an adorable touch. Thank god for sisters...especially when you have one that is so willing to LET you borrow. On the day I shot this outfit it was snowing but it was a wet snow so we just grabbed an umbrella, also trimmed in black. I did bring along a coat but the outfit was just to cute to cover up. Even when you are wearing something as simple as a shift, there are always things you can add to take your look to another level. A brooch or some really fun earrings would also be a great idea. Just that little extra bit of something. When I am planning my outfits I always take a quick look around my closet to see what I have that would complete my look. Sometimes I surprise myself, you never know what you will find that you forgot you even had.

In a few more days we will be ringing in a brand new year. 2016 brought so many new experiences for me and I am excited for 2017 to see what it may hold. It has been snowing for the past couple of days so my photographer thought it would be a good idea to get out and have a little fun with it. Every now and then the little kid comes out in all of us whether it be catching snowflakes on your tongue, throwing snowballs or making snow angels. It was a great day to be out and about making the most of it. I was recently invited to the Alice and Olivia sample sale before anyone else and I got first dibs on many beautiful items one of which was this long skirt and matching acrylic clutch. Originally wanting to wear heeled boots, the weather being as it was I decided to put on my low boots, socks, grab a pair of earmuffs and just go with it. Turns out it worked so well. Sometimes the unplanned turns out to be the best. I love these pictures as they show so much of the real me.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and amazing New Year!!!

XOXO,

NOM

Dino Petrocelli Photography

This holiday season try something a little different than your average red, green, or all black outfits. Show me your stripes!!! Horizontal, vertical, black, white, colorful, or any-which way stripes make a graphic statement. They add a new rule to dressing up. If stripes aren’t your thing, you can try adding prints or textured statements. 

I am SO in love with this jacquard mini dress (available petite, regular, or tall). The price is pretty crazy too! With the weather really cooling down these last few weeks, I decided to add an easy-to-layer Wolford bodysuit underneath. Turtleneck’s are really my thing (even though some people think they are for your grandma) I think they are always classy and elegant. With this look, the turtleneck adds a more effortless element.

Go Fur It

There is nothing I love more than being able to rely on a brand for the perfect attire no matter the season or event. When I walk into Banana Republic I can always bank on walking out with a bunch of new amazing goodies, which is why I continue to go back.

Their contemporary classics are designed for a style that endures and creations that can be added for your own unique look. Today’s fur vest (DON’T worry it’s faux) is not only so soft and beyond chic, but had endless styling options. It is perfect for fall, winter, and the holiday season, which is now upon us. I decided to pair it with this knit detailed with bows, and silk scarf for a casual and stylish look. Below, shop some of my favorite Banana picks of the season and enjoy some holiday shopping.

Comfort and style don’t always go together….but when they do, isn’t it just so perfect?! Many people (including myself) are trading in their jeans for leggings and track pants. With the right accessories you can give your off-duty look the perfect mix of chic and sporty.

Today’s look is grid print track pant and with a matching sweatshirt. It was one of those outfits I saw on Asos and knew I had to have before it sold out. It is by a brand called Noisy May, which makes both petite and tall collections. If you are going to order from them make sure you are aware of this!! (I have on the petite) I added a beanie and a pair of pointed toe booties for a cool yet relaxed look that can be worn anywhere and everywhere. Below shop some of my favorites that I have also had my eye on!! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Stripes, bright colors, fuzzy neutrals, fur/faux fur, or leopard as pictured above…your options are endless.

Hey guys!!! Happy Monday!!

Today’s look is all about chic layering and mixing of bold colors. This ‘cocoon’ coat is inspired by old-school stadium blankets and adds warmth without bulk. Available in a plethora of colors…your options are limitless. From bright yellow, pink, orange, red and everyone’s favorite neutrals..you can really do a lot with this coat (and those aren’t even half of the colors!)

The one I am wearing pictured above is “French Purple”…and the name just happens to match this vintage Parisian logo tee. Contrasting stripes and feminine details on the scarf add a bold finishing touch, combined with glitter booties (perfect for the holiday season). Shop this look below:

Loop Cardi

…and I have officially found the sweater of my dreams.

Oversized & warm, this cardigan is one of those purchases I will live in. Wear it alone or layer it under an even bigger coat…either way you get the cozy feel from this loop cardi. It can bring you through fall, into the holiday season, and last you all winter.

Today I paired it with skinny jeans, my Stella flatforms, and my new beautiful patchwork belt! The colorful leather can add a spark to everything from billowy dresses to jeans and trousers. I am loving the mixture of patterns and deep tones for the fall. Shop today's look below:

Cowboy Cool

I’M BACK!!!!

After spending a few hours fixing my site (which is still in the process) I can finally show you one of my new looks!! I called today’s post cowboy cool because this shirt/dress gives off a little bit of a cowboy vibe with the snap cuffs and fold-over collar. I was originally going to wear it as a dress with sneakers, but ended up switching it up…which is one reason this is worth the purchase…two in one!!

Can you believe it is already November 1st?? It is officially holiday season…which means one thing…TIME TO START OUR SHOPPING.  I have added a new shop for the season, which consists of my choices for both outfits and potential gifts. If you have noticed the bottom of my site may look a little bit different today. My currently craving section is in the process of being made into its own shop, which will be added at the top. I hope everyone has a great day!! Thanks for stopping by today. Below, shop today’s look:

Sequin Bomber

Add some sparkle to your week with this fabulous bomber!! It may be fully detailed in sequins, but the sporty style makes it casual enough to wear with almost anything. Today, I decided to pair it with all black for a chic day to night look, but you can wear this bomber with denim, leggings, and even sweatpants. The double-sided sequins have serious glam, and you will just love flipping them up and down all day and night. 

A Plaid Habit

Nothing screams falling leaves and crisp weather more than a layer of woodsy warmth. Up your layering game this fall with eye-catching buffalo plaids and the classic check print.  You will find pieces that could literally dress you head to toe…from hats to socks and sneakers. 

There is something about the lumberjack resembling material that adds coziness to any outfit.  Today I am staying more on the grungier side and opted for a casual street-wear look pairing my oversized shirt jacket with a pocket tee, felt fedora, and motorboats. You can pair yours with jeans, or go all out with longer lengths and pieces with feminine details.  

World Tour

Nowadays, there’s a bit of a rock n’ roll streak running through the lines of several brands. The Ramones, Kiss, ACDC…etc. Fashion’s finest are taking to the streets in rock band t-shirts and jackets, and tearing their items to shreds for an edgier feel. It couldn’t be more true how everything comes back in style.

I found this padded bomber featuring an embroidered ACDC graphic on the chest and printed world tour logo on the back. You could wear it with jeans and a tee for a laid back feel or pair it with leggings as I did today. Underneath a layered knit with a drawstring cowl neck adds a little more warmth. It also is available in a few other colors.

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!

Happy Friday Everyone!!

I posted this outfit on Instagram a few days ago, so I decided to put it up on my blog because something may just surprise you!! We have seen this patch trend from the runways to the streets and on pieces ranging from forever21 to designers such as Stella McCartney, Mira Mikati, Anya Hindmarch, and even Dolce and Gabbana.

Whether you want an artsy or more edgy vibe, the decoration and emoji-style detailing will not let you down. You can wear items completely covered or maybe just have 1 or 2 graphics. Pieces from the designers mentioned above may be a bit expensive for most of us, but that doesn’t mean you can’t join in on the fun. The sweater I have on today is under $20, and I don’t think anyone would ever even know. You can even get creative with this trend….I have seen adorable Iron on and Stick on patches…DIY!!

Below, I have linked today’s outfit and several other favorite patched pieces I have fell in love with at all price points. Thanks for stopping by today. Have an amazing weekend everyone!!

rue Saint-André des Arts

Hi everyone!!!

I am so excited to be back on the blog today with a new outfit and even more excited for the weekend! Today’s look is one that can take you from day into night. As I am sure you have realized by now the bomber has taken over the fashion world, and it doesn’t look like it is going anywhere very soon. As the temperature begins to drop…coats, jackets, and layering pieces become non-negotiable, and the bomber is the perfect off-duty/cool piece for those on the go.

The bird embroidery and gathered effect on today’s jacket makes it a must-have piece in my opinion. Underneath I layered a cotton tee with lettering graphic “rue Saint-André des Arts” and a ribbed-knit midi skirt for a trendy, yet casual look. If you are looking for something a littler on the warmer side, check out the matching sweater or similar sweatshirt linked below.

Does anyone have any fun plans this weekend? My best friend will be home Friday and I can’t wait to go out, have fun, and just laugh. You know those times…when you are laughing so hard, feel like your gaining a 6-pack, and have tears coming out of your eyes? Those always make the best memories. Have an amazing day everyone!! Friday will be here soon enough.

XOXO,

This was one of my favorite NYFW outfits I wore. I didn’t get the best photos in it so I wanted to be sure I got it up on the blog! I had bought this flared leather mini skirt at Intermix and originally was looking for some sort of bodysuit to wear with it. When I found this whimsical tee with the printed message “Love is a Verb” I thought it would give the outfit a different twist…but it was still missing something.

I got back to the apartment tried it on again and couldn’t quite put my finger on it. After trying on several different belts and accessories I finally tried on this crystal feather belt (it belongs to my sister) and thought it added a playful touch…especially combined with a crystal choker. I mean it was fashion week…..sometimes more is more!

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,
