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!!!

Pink & Oversized..two of my favorite things.
As we sneak closer into the chillier weather most of us will be mixing pieces from both our summer and fall wardrobe. From shorts and booties, jeans and short sleeve tee’s, or as in today’s case shorts and an oversized sweatshirt…the combinations are endless…so don’t put away your summer attire just yet.
This high neck sweatshirt is a perfect transitioning piece. I love anything oversized and especially turtlenecks!! I added shorts a floral statement necklace with crystals because hey, it isn’t fall just yet!! Shop this look below:

Top:Club Monaco|Overalls:Madewell
Waking up and being near the ocean is one of the best feelings. Everything is so peaceful and beautiful and even better when you don’t have a care in the world. It always makes me wonder… why in the world I live in New York when I could wake up to this every day.
I have gone on a family trip to Long Beach Island, New Jersey since I was an infant…and it will never grow old. Beach, lunch, beach, dinner…repeat (maybe add in a happy hour or two) …perfect day for me.
It is such a laidback vacation…so not a lot of dressing up. Mostly bathing suits, shorts, and tee’s. This year I did pack my Stella’s and a few pair of wedges just incase. Also, if you have been following along you have seen that I recently invested in my own camera. Definitely NOWHERE as easy as I expected. Does anyone else have a problem with the focus or is it just me? It seems I am always locking the focus in on the opposite of what I need…of course. With my moms help, I was luckily able to take away some good shots, and show you guys my new swimwear along with a few of my casual looks. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Hump Day!
We are getting to that point of summer where all pre-fall is hitting stores and the Internet and all summer clothing is going on sale. What I hate the most about this time of year is that one part of me wants to keep buying clothes for this season (especially because I am going away next week) but the other half of me does not. We are almost at boot and coat season… and we know how expensive these purchases can be.
The dress I have on today is an end of summer sale purchase. I think it one piece that will bring me into early fall with its deep colors and longer hemline. Tassel jewelry is kind of a thing right now, so it only makes sense I polished off todays look with a fun and lightweight necklace and light brown frames for a little drama.
Top:Rag&Bone(older, similar)|Culottes:Madewell|Belt:Maje(similar)|Bag:Fendi|Shoes:Stella McCartney
While I'm not feeling the greatest these last few days suffering with allergies that almost always turn into sinus problems, I'm forcing myself to keep on trucking. A little slower but non the less. I have been wanting a pair of these Stella McCartney shoes for a while now and usually by the time I'm ready to pull the trigger they are already sold out. This time I was all over them and I'm obsessed with them. They run about a half size big so beware if you should decide to get them. There are so many ways I want to wear them, I think they look good with just about everything. Today I paired them with these white jeans and a striped tee and then added a belt to pull the color from the shoes. I love to mix color and pattern to add that little spark to an outfit.
While not looking forward to fall, I wanted to start giving you all a little insight to what I have been seeing. I will be updating you from time to time now about what is popular for the upcoming season. I am seeing a lot of velvet, jacquard and leather, patchwork, large floral prints and right up my alley, Sooo many ruffles. The shoes are gorgeous... and everything is so rich looking. I feel like we are headed back to a time of ladylike elegance. Some of my favorite things this year are the Gucci kangaroo jacquard loafers, wide belts and I am loving the hand held bags of yesteryear. They started showing up this summer and are on my list for fall. I have started my pre-fall additions so be sure to check them out.

Finally, next month I will be back in Long Beach Island and I cannot wait…and today’s little number is definitely coming with me. When I go to the shore all of my outfits are usually easy breezy, and by that I mean…denim shorts, little dresses, and pretty much anything that equals no fuss!
This LWD has a bit of boho vibe from the tassel accents at the hem. I decided to elevate todays look with a silk floral scarf and straw boater hat to add a few extra summer details. I have seen adorable tassel pieces all over the internet and not just on clothing…on hats, clutches, and even shoes. Below, I have linked white dresses with tassels at all price ranges. Have a great week everyone.

Happy Thursday,
With the weather finally turning nice, it looks like summer is almost here. Yesterday I went on a seven mile hike to the top of Bucks Peak in Lake George. The view was breathtaking and I was able to get in some great exercise. Some of you were inquiring about my pants, they are not available through my site but you can go to the Adidas website to find them. They are part of the Dream Awaken collection by Pharrell Williams (really cool stuff) you are only allowed to purchase two pieces at once from the line. They were running a little large for me so I would watch my sizing, I ordered an extra small and I thought they were more like a size small so depending on your own body you might want to size down. Just food for thought if you don't want to worry about exchanging and then have them be no longer available.
Today's outfit is a black silk dress from rag and bone. This is one of those outfits where that big chunky jewelry I spoke about looks so good. I was going back and forth between the necklace I have on and one very similar from J.Crew(here) but in the end that little bit of gold stood out. The topper is a Eugenia Kim boater hat...(Love her hats). There is versatility in this dress, it is one that you could wear to a fancy event by just adding a pair of heels and depending whether or not it was a daytime or evening event, would determine my accessories. Today, I am wearing it very casual with a simple pair of black sandals, but it is so easy to take it from cute and feel good to a real WOW!!! number. Thanks for stopping by today and check out the links below.
Shorts:Rag&Bone|Boots:Joie|Vest:Alice&Olivia (older)|Fedora:Rag&Bone (similar here)
Today's look is all about layering neutral pieces for a luxe look. Layering different textures of clothing is fun and chic. It allows you to wear your clothing more and more and can bring a whole new vibe to your look. Today I added sheer hosiery and a felt fedora to my favorite suede shorts and oversized faux fur vest…making this outfit very wearable for the current weather. Shop this look below:
Sweater:Zara|Dress:BB Dakota|Hat:Rag&Bone(similar)|Boots:Stuart Weitzman|Bag:Sara Battaglia(similar here)
Many of you may know my Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots are my everyday winter go-to’s…literally worth every penny. However, the newer version with shearling trim may be my new found love. A necessary neutral and very sophisticated.
Today I have on a borrowed-from-the-boys oversized shirtdress layered under an oversized knit with high side slits. I figured I may as well take advantage of the so called “warmer” weather before winter actually hits us. You can shop this look and similar below. Thanks for stopping by!!
Happy Friday everyone!!
Today’s look is pretty casual and focused around classic black and red plaid. I think the crazy thing about the bold pattern is that it has so many different connotations (preppy, punk, grungy, chic etc.) There is a bit of a combo in this outfit- ranging from distressed jeans to this charming crossbody bag.
What are everyone’s weekend plans?! Do you have any awesome outfits picked out you are dying to wear?? I would love to hear about it! Thanks for stopping by!! Shop today’s look below:
Sweater:Vince|Boots:Stuart Weitzman|Beanie:Autumn Cashmere (currently not available online)
I am unsure why it is soo hard to find a nice oversized black sweater…but it is. This one by Vince is a bit of a splurge, but it will take you through fall and winter with ease. It is incredibly soft and can look chic from day to night.
It may have been really nice out these last few days, but winter aka beanie weather is around the corner and all of the cute ones always sell out fast. This snowflake pompom one is by Autumn Cashmere. They always have super cute sets. Last year I purchased a matching leopard beanie, scarf, and glove set which is still one of my favorites from them. Unfortunately, this snowflake one is currently not available online but I will keep checking in and keep you posted. Below, I rounded up pieces from this look and some of my favorite winter beanies this season. Keep in mind that cold weather accessories can make awesome holiday gifts!!
Tee:H&M|Coat:J.O.A.|Denim:Joe's Jeans|Boots:Stuart Weitzman
Staying sharp with this amazing charcoal plaid coat from J.O.A. (which is now under $100 I may add!) Today’s look is a casual and everyday outfit featuring jeans and a printed tee with the script “Tokyo is for Lovers”. I went a few sizes up in the top because I preferred it a little oversized.
This look is one everyone can put their own twist on. Whether it be a different tee, a sweater, layering, or accessories…let your style shine! I added a felt Rag and Bone hat for a charming touch and menswear-inspired feel. I wore my favorite Stuart Weitzman 50/50 leather/neoprene boots. For anyone looking for the perfect pair of over-the-knee boots I recommend these. I know they are a little pricey, but trust me they are worth every penny!! Below shop this look and similar plaid coats:

Happy wrap-vest Wednesday!!
Vests offer a cozy and warm layering look for fall and winter. This wool one by Joie has a contrast black and striped border that can be fastened closed with a thin leather belt. Vests always look great with jeans or leggings, and a pair of boots. Today I went with a legging-like pant from J.Crew, and over-the-knee boots. I added a black felt fedora to complete this fall look. Below, you can shop this look and other stylish options:
