Puckered

Skirt: Theory/ Top: Theory/ Boots:Reed Krakoff/ Bag: Balenciaga 

Beach weather and vacation cannot come soon enough. It has been so cold this winter…I just cannot wait until it is over. I am doing my best to get a variety of outfits in even though the weather has been horrible. Todays matching skirt and top is made by Theory. Unfortunately I am not able to show you the sleeve on this cropped pullover…it has long dropped sleeves which give the outfit a very relaxed look. Instead of the matching prosecco colored skirt, I chose the black for a little contrast along with black tights and these low gray Reed Krakoff boots which seem to be a crowd pleaser. You could also choose to wear high boots or even a really nice pump to complement this outfit.

On The Trendy Side

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.

Pink & Skulls

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. 

Leopard Accent

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. 

Fiery Orange

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. 

Minimalist Look

Dress: Theory/ Jacket: Alice & Olivia (Older)/ Booties: Miu Miu (Older)

There is just something about dressing in all black that just always looks and feels so cool. Whether it is how chic it is, easy to pair, or perfect for layering, it differs for everyone, for me, it always makes me feel sophisticated. This black dress from Theory forms to the body and is finished with a ribbed turtleneck and cap sleeves for a very minimalist look. I love pieces like this that work anywhere and everywhere and offer a simple solution to getting dressed. I paired it with my metal tipped suede ankle boots and studded bomber jacket for an edgier look, which is a little bit different for me.

Stripes

Sweater: J.Crew/Pants: J.Crew/ Boots: Sergio Rossi/ Clutch: YSL

Showing my stripes in this tee-shirt alternative sweater. This is a great top either to wear by itself or to use as a layering piece. Being that the sleeves are a little longer and the fabric is hefty and warm, I have chosen to wear it by itself today with a pair of leggings and over-the-knee boots. This outfit can be worn straight through the day and into the evening.  

Chic Staple

Blouse: Vince/ Vest: Alice & Olivia/ Skirt: Splendid/ Booties: Vince/ Necklace: Chan Luu

There is nothing more chic than black and white…the combination is timeless and looks good on everyone. Todays outfit combines an Alice and Olivia long satin-trim vest over a 'borrowed from the boys' looking tunic. I love how the blouse just shows enough of the flounce hem on the skirt to add a touch of flirtiness.

Textured Tweed

Sweater: Joie/ Pants: J.Crew/ Top: J.Crew/ Boots: Reed Krakoff 

What seems to work for me when I am dressing for the day is to choose in three's. Whether it be texture or pattern then, I like to add a splash of color somewhere in my outfit…it tends to make everything pop out at you. Since I am more of a neutral girl I don't go overboard with a lot of color. You will most often see me in shades of a neutral. When spring and summer come around I get a little more adventurous, but during the winter months I will play more with the textures and patterns in gray, black, cream, etc. 

Bundled

Hat: Genie by Eugenia Kim/ J.Crew Blouse, Coat, Sweater, Pants/Boots: Stuart Weitzman /Bag: Givenchy

During cold winter months it can be so hard sometimes to bundle up to stay warm, yet still look fashionable. Winter accessories can easily look overwhelming, so I think it is important to invest in the right kind, even though they may be pricey. For example,  today I am wearing a long down puffer coat that is designed to insulate heat and manages not to look like a human sleeping bag. I paired it with leggings, and a cashmere sweater that is a good investment for layering, looking stylish, and staying warm. You lose the most heat through your head so it is definitely important to find a cute hat. I love this tweed Eugenia Kim hat that is perfect for both city streets and rural roads. 

Pump It Up

Top: Recover Designs/Denim: J.Crew Toothpick Jean/ Pumps: Christian Louboutin/ Jewelry: David Yurman

I think just about everyone loves Louboutin's and I am loving the fun pattern on this pair. This is definitely a statement shoe, made of satin and detailed with red polished nails. I kept it simple today wearing black jeans and a red mock turtleneck top as they say it all. Nothing else is needed. As much as I would like to be outside taking pics, there are those day's when it's just not practical. This week has been unbearably cold and Frankin Plaza has graciously opened their doors for me to shoot inside and we greatly appreciate it. For everyone in my area, they have just finished the third floor and you are in for a treat. It is beautiful…a must for any event!

Hipster Edge

Cardigan: Mason by Michelle Mason /Boots: Sergio Rossi/ Necklace: Chan Luu

 Thanks to everyone for being so patient while I was going through my grandfathers illness. I am very happy to say he has pulled through and is finally back home. Being back to work is great even though it is absolutely freezing outside. Today I am wearing my leather leggings with a simple white tee. I wanted to showcase my new Chan Luu necklace that I sooo love. The black tassel against the white makes it show up nicely. I wanted to wear this heavy duster by Mason but it was just a little to cold so, I put on a light weight black day coat underneath it and found it gave my outfit another dimension. And how about these Serigo Rossi over-the-knee boots?! I am OBSESSED. Mixed with my black beanie, the outfit gains a more hipster edge. 

Go-To Outfit

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. 

Chambray & Denim

 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. 

Feather Weather

Skirt: Kate Spade (Older)

Vest: Alice and Olivia(Sold Out)

Booties: Vince

Jewelry: David Yurman

 I wore this skirt to my college senior formal and received a few negative comments. However, to me fashion means to dress in a way that describes your style and your personality, yet find a way to stand out and be different. I love this skirt from Kate Spade. I think it is fun, it is girly, and that is who I am, not to mention this is definitely a statement piece…so I believe mission accomplished. Paired with all black I transform my once spring formal skirt to a striking winter ensemble detailed in feathers you can NOT miss. 

Onesie

Jumper: Joie

Jacket: SAM Outerwear

Boots: IRO

Camp Socks: J.Crew

This season I am realizing Joie makes the softest sweaters and apparel. This onesie is the best..I could live in it especially with these camp socks!! I styled it with the legs pushed up for a comfortable yet street style look. The socks are a winter tradition that add a coziness to storm-busting boots. 

Winter White & Nautical Stripes

Top: Rag & Bone

Pants: Intermix (Sold Out, Similar Here)

Coat: J.Crew

Shoes: Alexandre Birman (Sold out,Available in Black)

Who says white and nautical stripes are summer only?? Keep those pieces out year round. I paired my classic look with a statement heel and a pop of color for a fun play for the holiday. 

Once Upon A Time

Sweater: Alice & Olivia

Skirt: Phillip Lim

Booties: Stuart Weitzman

Just in time for some HOLIDAY SPIRIT!! This embellished sweater by Alice & Olivia will make you live happily ever after. With a pinch of sparkle and the girly details it's the perfect outfit for anything festive. Paired with this wintress puffer skirt creates the perfect pop of color and fun! 

Black Hoodie

 Dress: James Perse

Coat: Forever 21 (Older)

Boots: Tibi

 A hood gives this simplistic black jersey dress a sporty look. With its long sleeves and pullover style it feels just as relaxed as your everyday sweatshirt. To get away from the average look, I paired it with a dressier blazer style coat and leather Tibi boots. 

Stella

Top: Bella Dahl

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.
