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!

Short Days, Long Nights

Tee:Zara|Jacket:Zara|Jeans:Joe's Jeans|Pumps:Christian Louboutin

First and foremost I would like to say Thank you to Megan for this beautiful ring!! I just love it and they have the cutest things at www.mosettejewelry.com Check them out!! I was in NY last week and I picked up a few things at Zara including this great graphic tee and the sweetest little jacket, which I’m sure will get a lot of use. This type of jacket can be worn with so many things…dress it up or down, it can be worn on a casual day with jeans or shorts or you can pair it with a skirt or over a dress. I love everything about it…the fabric and the pattern with the little bit of fringe around the edge just calls my name. Today I chose to wear it with a pair of white jeans and my denim Louboutin’s, which when I purchased I wasn’t sure I would get a lot of use out of them but they are quickly becoming a go to, they seem to match everything…so easy to wear. 

Wear & When

Jeans:Girl Cave Boutique|Sweatshirt:Banana Republic|

Good morning everyone,

Up bright and early this morning and headed into the city for some hair touch up, a little shopping and an event this evening. In the meantime todays post is the second piece from my collaboration with Girl Cave Boutique.  These jeans are lightweight and high waisted…very comfortable and distressed at the knee. I have chosen to pair them with a great sweatshirt from Banana Republic and a pair of shoes I have had for a while now from Dusica and Dusica. 

Weekender

Tee:Current Elliot(Similar)|Denim:Rag&Bone|Sweater:JCrew|
Pumps:Christian Louboutin|Weekender Bag:Sydney Love

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Well I'm off to the city this weekend for some fun time with the girls. I love this camo weekender bag I came across at a local boutique and it's coming with…perfect for an overnight or a couple of days. Today I am wearing a pair of Rag & Bone jeans which work so well with the so Kate Louboutin pumps and I added a great white tee and an orange sweater I bought at J.Crew which picks up the orange in my bag…just a great casual outfit to travel in. Be sure to check out my Instagram…some great shots coming up this month as I finally have gotten the time for a much needed vacation. Can't Wait!!!

Linen & Denim

Jeans:Rag&Bone|Shirt:JCrew|Pumps:Christian Louboutin

White jeans are a summer staple for me. There is something so effortless about putting on your go to pair with literally anything from a simple tee or button down to a dressier shirt with a pair of pumps. With this outfit I chose to pair it with one of my favorite linen stripe button downs for summer. This top is still super neutral with a breathable linen material for those easy spring and summer days. I obviously had to add my latest obsession and purchase of these denim Louboutin’s to finish styling this look. These so Kate pumps will literally go with so many pieces I have in my summer wardrobe and I immediately had to bring them out. 

Cargo Strap

Top:JCrew|Denim:Citizens of Humanity|Bag:Loeffler Randall(older,Love this one)

Happy Monday everyone!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I love love love my new Citizens of Humanity jeans with a cargo strap. They are very relaxed fitting and distressed at the knees. You can wear them with any pair of sneakers or flats, but I would not pair these jeans with a heel or wedge because they have too much of a worn-in appeal. I added these cream lace-up flats, which were a great Forever21 find and a perfect match to this tweed short sleeve top! For a purse, I went with a leather studded box clutch with a chain strap to add a little spunk!

Ciao Bella

JCrew: Jacket, Tee, Jeans, Vans (for J.Crew)| Pouch: Banana Republic 

This cinched swing jacket is a perfect layering piece for the season. The rubber printed stripes on the sleeves give it a rainy day vibe, however this jacket is great for any tricky weather spring brings with it. Today my Current Elliot oversized denim jacket saves me yet AGAIN underneath for some extra warmth. These slip-on lilac Vans pick up some of the color from the striped linen baseball tee and add a very laidback look.  

Loves Me, Loves Me Not

It wasn’t until recently that I found out Sam Edelman had a clothing line and when I saw this graphic tee I knew I had to have it! Usually the graphic tee’s I find I love are so high priced but this one was so reasonable…and talk about the DEAL OF THE CENTURY…this jacket retails close to $1,600 and I paid around $300 or less at Intermix Online (they have the BEST sales!!) I am loving white on and white for spring but since it is still pretty chilly the jacket works great with my orange suede Loubs.

Blue Bomber

Shot by Emily Cloutier

 It is almost 40 outside today!! Wahoo!! Talking about weather may be one of the most boring conversations, but lately it has been front and center for us New Yorkers. Today’s street style shots are pretty different than what I am used to but I am loving the stair action. This look is super duper casual and I may be pushing the limits with only a lightweight bomber jacket on…but I just cannot wait any longer. These are one of my favorite pair of Rag & Bone pants. They fit me perfectly (which is hard to find) and I love the military kind of look the suede side patches give them. I paired them with suede slip-on’s (also Rag & Bone) a chambray shirt, and of course the blue bomber for a real street look. 

Gold Accents

Shot by Emily Cloutier

Distressed denim, a blouse, and a sweater make up todays daytime look. I love the way the yellow really makes the calf-hair flats pop. As I have mentioned… I am just easing myself into wearing gold jewelry since I usually gravitate more towards silver pieces. It just so happens that gold accents have worked themselves in, all throughout today’s outfit. From the gold hardware on the handbag and leather jacket, to the delicate necklace finished off with a gold horn pendant and edgy gold zippers on my calf-hair flats, I am slowly but surely giving gold a go.  

Bandit

Shot by Emily Cloutier

This black bandana-like infinity scarf reminds me of the classic bandana that has found its way back into the fashion realm. Although this silk lookalike is not the real deal, it resembles the classic approach to tying the western-like material around ones neck. It loosens up this all black outfit with its playful tassels yet manages to maintain an effortless and cool balance. When wearing all black it is important to incorporate different textures that give dimension amongst the monochrome. Todays outfit incorporates black silk, with black coated jeans and black leather boots…all black but not boring. There is something about all black that leaves a mystery behind the person wearing it.

Button up: J.Crew/ Choker: Eddie Borgo/ Flats: Miu Miu/ Fur: Alice & Olivia/ Denim: Joes Jeans

It seems that the 90’s are back my friends and just in the NECK of time. Another fad from the decade, chokers are big and better than ever. I recently purchased this thin safety chain choker designed by Eddie Borgo that I have been eyeing for some time now, and I still cannot get enough of it. This one in particular rests at the base of the neck and looks great with deep cut shirts. Not only does it complement the silver captoe of these Miu Miu flats, it also brings a cool and sexy edge to this outfit. I have on an oversized white button up partially tucked into my distressed denim for a more casual look. The black and white stripped Alice and Olivia fur adds a little extra flavor worn over the shoulders.

Sweater: Banana Republic (Similar)/ Blouse: Vince/ Boots: Sergio Rossi

I usually wear my silver David Yurman pieces everyday…but I am really trying to broaden my horizons this year with jewelry!! I bought this feather necklace and chunky silver ring at a nearby store called Circles Boutique and I just love the different style  (more on the trendy side) these pieces bring to the outfit. I recently even purchased some gold jewelry which is soo unlike me!! Todays outfit is pretty casual..with a mock-necked cropped pullover, denim, and my Sergio Rossi over-the-knee boots which seem to be making an appearance quite often these days! I am just a huge fan of high boots and love how this pair has a back slit, which enables the cuff to be folded down.

Sweater: J.Crew/ Coatigan: The Loft/ Boots: Sergio Rossi /Infinity Scarf: Skull Cashmere

This infinity scarf makes this outfit look effortlessly cool. It alters this look from girly, to edgy and sophisticated with  its printed black skulls on top of gray cashmere. I love the way gray and black look together...so monochromatic..but today I added a touch of pink to take a little of the 'edge' off. The sweater fits slouchy and oversized which makes it great for skinny jeans. It is one of those sweaters you will reach for over and over again.

J.Crew: Top, Coat (Similar), Denim, Booties (Similar)/ Bag: Sara Battaglia/ Infinity Scarf: Autumn Cashmere (Sold Out)

I don't know about you guys…but I am hating all of this snow!!  I am so glad I got to shoot some new looks before the storm came. Unfortunately most of my look today is sold out but I added some similar items for you to check out as well.Long gone are the days when white jeans are strictly reserved for summer and they are quickly becoming a winter staple of mine. There is something about them that is so much more refreshing than your average denim. Today I paired them with a boyfriend coat and fitted wool sweater that is perfect for layering as much as it takes to keep warm this season. This cashmere infinity scarf adds a cozy, yet on-trend leopard accent to the outfit.

Sweater: Joie/Boyfriend Jeans: Rag & Bone/Boots: Christian Louboutin/Bag: Sara Battaglia

I love boyfriend jeans because they are so easy to glam up or dress down and they give off that vibe that you look put together yet not trying too hard. I usually add a splash color with denim..it always seems to do the trick. These papaye colored edition of Christian Louboutin's 'So Kate' booties are my absolute favorite and they take this neutral outfit from simple and baggy to feminine with their high heel and touch of fiery orange. I added my  taupe Sara Battaglia bucket bag because I love the leather tassels…they add such a 'chicness' to this great carryall.

Coat: Exclusive for Intermix (Sold Out)

Jeans: J.Crew

Boots: Reed Krakoff (Older)

I bought this topcoat exclusive for Intermix in early fall and it really has become one of my go-to staples. It always looks so chic no matter if it is dressed up or down…that's what I love most about it. Today for a casual day time look I paired it with my favorite skinny jeans from J.Crew that I cuffed above my boots and a simple blouse…making for an easy go-to outfit.

 Sweater: Tanya Taylor (Sold Out)

Jeans: Joe's

Boots: Christian Louboutin

Coat: Forever21 (Older)

Different shades of the same color or similar colors almost always look good together. This plaid sweater by Tanya Taylor is not only whimsical and fun but the color combinations are very eye-catching as well. The pink and red in the plaid mixed with the orange boots is very striking and dominant. When mixing colors it is important not to go overboard. To prevent that I added white jeans and a black blazer style coat…when in doubt I add neutrals.

 Jeans & Chambray Shirt: J.Crew

Leather Jacket: Coach (Older, Similar Here)

Sneakers: Diemme

This leather jacket is one of those 'awesome purchases' I have had for years. Its trendy yet chic cut allows for it to be styled so differently each time it is worn. The fringe adds a motorcycle feel, while the fur trimmed collar adds a luxurious statement when worn on a dressier occasion. I paired this jacket with a chambray shirt and light wash denim jeans to give the old canadian tuxedo a fresher look. Just like the jacket, the denim on denim style has endless possibilities. Paired with these red suede sneaker styled boots makes this outfit urban cool.

Jeans: Stella McCartney

Shoes: Christian Louboutin (Available here in black)

Jewelry: David Yurman,Vita Fede,Eddie Borgo

Some days are just too cold to shoot outside so today we shot this outfit in the studio. I am wearing Stella McCartney jeans which are quickly becoming a new favorite because they fit so well. They are finished with distressed detailing and a subtle pink wash which makes them more girly than your average boyfriend jeans. I paired them with a relaxed fitting seamed pocket shirt and Christian Louboutin pumps for a little added sexapeal.
