Denim Refresh

Denim Refresh

As Spring is a time to refresh and renew, our denim should get the same treatment…and maybe even an upgrade.

Beaded and Pleated

Beaded and Pleated

Hemlines. Sometimes they go up. Sometimes they go down. And sometimes, they are all about exaggerated add-ons.

The Overlock Hotel

The Overlock Hotel

The notion that everything has two sides served as the thought-provoking starting point for Jun Takahashi’s spring ’18 Undercover collection.

Stirred Up

We all know that fashion goes through cycles, and everything always comes back in style…even things we could have sworn we would never wear again.

Low Key Layers

You can pair a form fitting striped turtleneck underneath any of these options, scrunch up the sleeves a little, and adjust the under layer so you are able to see just the smallest bit.

Malibu

A graphic tee can easily become the focus of any chic outfit. You can dress it up, or it can offer a more casual approach to style.

Iconic

It’s official…my new favorite color for spring is yellow. The shade shines with happiness, hope, and positive energy. 

Print Remix

Spring is all about eye-catching patterns and effortlessly versatile pieces. With that being said…

Knot Me

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!

XOXO,

Bright This Way

I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!! I know I am…

I figured I would post this bright and cheerful oversized sweater today with white jeans because it’s Labor Day and you know what that means….

When it comes to wearing white after the holiday what are your thoughts? I know the so called ‘rule’ is a lot more relaxed these days…but many people still refuse to wear white after Labor Day. Personally, I love an all white outfit even in the winter. I think it can be stunning, especially with the right shoes.

Today, I added my favorite pair of Christian Louboutin pumps for a statement shoe. I love the mix of yellow, gold, and pink throughout this look with an added touch of sparkle. Shop below:

Shoulder Exposer

Damn Daniel….back at it again with the white vans…….(but seriously)

I have been wearing the classic slip-on with just about everything this summer. From shorts, dresses, and maxi skirts as you saw on the blog yesterday.

On hot days like today it is easiest to wake up and throw on a mini dress. As I’m sure you know off-of-the shoulder pieces are everywhere these days and a summer must-have.

If I was to pick out all of my favorite off of the shoulder dresses this season you would be scrolling for hours. I decided to stick to similar tones and easy day-to-day styles.

When I was shooting looks the ice cream man drove by and I had this brilliant idea that I needed to get something and use it in my photos. If you are wondering why I am barely smiling…..it is because out of all of the options I chose the blue and green sour popsicle and it completely turned my mouth colors…..so safe to say I will not be doing that again. Thank god it was one of my last looks. 

Toast of the Town

Tee:Kate Spade|Culottes:Zara (similar)|Booties:Barbara Bui|Jacket:J.Crew|Hat:Banana Republic (Similar here)

My favorite new layer is this jacket from J.Crew. It is so fluffy and teddy bear-like made from a Sherpa fabric. Olive green is a neutral color so I decided to spice up this look with calf hair booties and a gold lettered graphic tee…Toast of the Town. You can always add a cute statement to your outfit this winter by pairing the perfect hat. Shop this look below:

Necessary Neutral

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!!

Varsity Mesh

With summer coming to end, there are some really great deals out there.  Starting with Intermix, now 50% off sale, check it out.  I was able to get these great sandals for only $64.00. I found this J.O.A. Varsity mesh sweater at Urban Outfitters and these adorable print trousers were from Zara. Putting this outfit together was so easy...I just added a tank from Banana Republic and jewelry by Chan Luu and Alexis Bittar. Hair up in a pony and my new monster bag for a touch of fun. I found this outfit to be perfect for a day when I'm running errands. Casual, fun and comfortable...unfortunately these items are already gone but I have found similar items I have listed below to make it easy.  I also thought you might like a couple recommendations which are favorites of mine just in case you might be thinking of a warm weather get away as the seasons begin to change. Selections go quickly so get them while you can...

Happy Shopping!!

Pleated Poise

Top:T by Alexander Wang(sold out)|Skirt: Derek Lam 10 Crosby(sold out)|Sneakers:Zara

I have had this mini skirt from A.L.C. for so long now and could never seem to pair it with the right top/shoes. The top part of the skirt is actually a gray sweatshirt material and then finished off with chic white pleats at the bottom. After purchasing this muscle tank by Alexander Wang (also sweatshirt material) I wanted to try it on “just to see what it would look like” with the skirt and I ended up loving the combo. It is sporty yet still girly. For shoes I went with a pair of white slip-on hightops from Zara.

For those who are wondering about this super cool necklace…it was a present from Ellie Vail Jewelry (www.ellievail.com) I am so obsessed with it and have been wearing it nonstop. When I had on this outfit I knew this had to be the necklace for it. The heartbeat rhythm reminded me of the black graphic tee I wanted oh sooo bad from Alexander Wang with the red heartbeat circling it from front to back.

And last but not least…today let me formally introduce you to KARLITO!! I just love him. He was an early birthday gift from my mother (you da bomb Gail). I added him to my mustard color Givenchy bag for a pop of color and fun.  Shop similar 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. 

Orange Tones

Pants&Top:Zara|Pumps:Christian Louboutin|Bag:Reed Krakoff (similar here)

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…
