Easy Does It

Top:Forever21|Skirt:Asos(similar)|Hat:Inverni(similar)|Sneakers:Vans

Today I am mixing on trend pieces in an unexpected way. I purchased this skirt from Asos at the beginning of the summer with the feeling it was going to sell out (it did) …everything always goes super fast on that site. It is very unique with tiered ruffles and frayed hems.

I am usually such a ‘heel’ girl over flats but I have been trying to shoot more looks where I dress down apparel and make it more practical to wear during the day. With that being said, I decided to pair today’s main piece with a lightweight sleeveless knit, fedora, and classic slip-on sneakers. The allover stripes print gives the look character…making it a little polished yet also a little undone.

Below, find the links to today’s outfit. I have also incorporated similar items, cute summer tanks, and adorable alternative sneaker options that can be paired with a white skirt like this one. All items can be mixed and matched! (I am really loving the metallic sneaker and crotchet crop top combo)

Fringe Benefits

Lightweight sweaters are the best for chilly nights and cool mornings in the summer. The fringe hem on this knit makes it perfect for layering other pieces and also gives it a little boho twist. My two major accessories today are a chiffon necktie (which can be worn multiple ways) and a beaded tassel necklace. They add a semi vintage-inspired statement to this textured sweater. Round sunnies, and pink, green, and neutral tones add just enough color to make outfit boho-chic. Shop today’s look and similar pieces below. Have a great day everyone! Thanks for stopping by today!

Red Threads

Happy Tuesday everyone,

I am loving the look of scarves these days, rather around the neck, as a belt, around a hat or in the hair, they add a certain je ne sais quoi. This one in particular has an equestrian look to it, the brown tones mixed with the red are so elegant. Originally I was going to wear a red shoe but then decided to pull from the brown so I added my calf hair booties for that unexpected punch. No matter, it's still all about this scarf for me. I went from having it around my neck to tying it around my head and you are probably going to see me wearing this look at least a few times this summer as I play around with this accessory. Today I decided to wear sleek white wide-leg pants and this red and white striped off the shoulder top, another popular look this summer. Just a red belt, my purse, a little jewelry and the look is complete. Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by. Shop today's look below:

Pink Jacquard

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

I am all pink today (my favorite color!!) This is another outfit I purchased from the crazy sale happening at Intermix. Both this sweater and these shorts are now marked under $100.

This sweater is a pretty pink rib crew neck that can be worn all year and layered into any look and I paired it today with these tailored jacquard shorts. I love the charm and subtle beauty of the pattern because it is so glamorous and does not need any further embellishment (unless you want to add it of course). I have been seeing very similar pieces out for the fall and a ton of heavy and luxurious fabrics combined into both clothing and accessories. This is definitely a trend to look for. This outfit is linked below, along with other jacquard shorts and skirts with matching sweaters and pumps. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone,

Rise and shine, the weather is so gorgeous today that I am not going to waste one second. I started my day with an early barre class, a quick coffee run and then going from there. You just can't resist getting out of the house and enjoying the day when it is so nice. Intermix is having a great sale with an additional 40% off, don't miss this one because you can find some really good deals and their clothing is beautiful. I recently purchased this olive green knit top already on sale plus with the additional percentage off, it was next to nothing and what a great day to wear it. This top is great to throw on with a pair of your favorite jeans, shorts, or even a cute skirt... fun and flirty. I added a calf hair belt for a little spark, my Chloe espadrilles and this choker, which was the second one of my moms I borrowed. Everything comes around again, don't be so quick to get rid of things and knowing it belongs to my mother, it's all that much more special. Below, shop my top sale picks from Intermix. Thanks for stopping by today!!

A Bit of Knit

Dress:MinkPink|Sneakers:Vince(sold out)|Hat:Talbots

Dino Petrocelli Photography

It's the weekend,

Although it's dreary out today,  I shot this outfit a couple of days ago. Because I am only 5 foot 2 I usually always wear heels, but lately I am so into sneakers and flats. I just love the way they look with dresses, skirts and just about everything these days, not to mention the comfort level. Today I paired them with this colorful dress from Mink Pink, which is a great throw on to just run errands and go about your day. I think I am more of a dress girl than pants so you will probably see this kind of look on me over the summer. I borrowed this straw hat from my mothers closet (thanks mom) and I seem to be adding to my hat collection a bit more. I have had my eye on these straw boater hats which I think are so cute. I've added some below for you to check out. These extra touches take your outfit from nice to really cute and eye catching. Thanks for stopping by today!

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Hello everyone,

The weather here is finally nice so I'm full on with the spring and summer looks. After hosting an evening at the Rebecca Minkoff store in Soho, which I thought went very well and it was so nice meeting everyone, I received a box with all kinds of goodies from their PR people. The necklace and iPhone purse in this picture are two of those items.  I decided to wrap the purse around my waist like a fanny pack which I think looks adorable. They come in several colors and I had been looking at them for a while so it was pretty exciting when I got it as a gift. Every time an opportunity comes my way to do something with my blog I become more and more addicted to it, it's so much fun and I am so grateful for the chance to do what I love. Thank you Rebecca and staff for your interest in me and thank you to all of my followers for taking the time out of your day to support me…it would not be possible without each and every one of you. Today's outfit is just a simple sleeveless top and a pair of shorts which have a skirt feel to them but when I add this fun necklace and the purse it just changes the whole look to eye popping cuteness. I'm loving it, and you will find you can do the same with any of your own outfits by just adding a little creativity with things you have in your closet. To keep this outfit from running on pink overload I decided to pair it with a blue denim pump to give it a little balance. Shop below:

Birds of a Feather

Feathers always add femininity, glam, and of course movement to any look. Today they prove sweaters can be special too. Instead of pairing your jeans and pumps with your average sweater, sometimes it is fun to find different pieces that add that unique touch. This cashmere shell from J.Crew does just that…detailed with playful feathers at the bottom. I decided to wear a blouse underneath for a finishing touch and more relaxed look. Shop this look below:

This orange cotton sweater is the perfect now-and-later- layer. With the weather so up and down lately, getting dressed in the morning can be pretty confusing. With that being said, today I added an optional blazer and a simple pair of jeans. What I am really loving is this vibrant statement cuff found on sale at J.Crew for around $8 (so crazy). It is the little things like this that can make transitioning a little easier. Thanks for stopping by!! XOXO

White with a Twist

Sweater:Rag&Bone|Pants:Alice&Olivia|Bag:Henri Bendel|Belt:B-Low the Belt

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Hey Everyone!!

I finally shot a bunch of new looks on Friday and I cannot wait to share them all with you! I gave today’s white look a modern twist with a black leather choker and my new favorite belt from B-Low the belt(a current must have!)

If you are ever looking for a great pair of wide-leg pants…check out Alice & Olivia. I now have a pair of these trousers in white, black, and orange. They are great and I love the fluid movement of them. 

For accessories I added my calf-hair booties and my new yellow mini croc bag from Henri Bendel. I am loving the unexpected pop of yellow mixed with the spotted print…so fierce!  This bag also comes with an optional crossbody strap so it is perfect for busy summer days running around the city. I added the links to this look below along with some other amazing options.

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great week!!

 

Spring Fever

Skirt:Maje|Top:J.Crew|Jacket:Theory(older)|Pumps:Christian Louboutin

Dino Petrocelli Photography

I have been having serious spring fever. I am over the cold and SO over my winter clothes!! I have been trying to incorporate more color into my outfits along with some lighter weight pieces. This midi skirt from Maje for instance has a neoprene-like finish and all-over print…you could do a lot with this. Today I decided to go with one of my favorite and classic layering pieces…a sleeveless shell (also see the matching cardigan) they always seem to work with just about anything. The sunset pink color adds a fun touch to the green and blue print. This look is still shoppable. See Below:

Happy Valentine’s Day Loves!!!

I shot this all white look last week before heading to New York City for fashion week. Red accent pieces make it perfect for Valentine’s Day and the soft fringe adds a cute and cozy feel. If you are searching for a last minute date night outfit consider your red accessories with an all neutral look.

It has been absolutely freezing here in the city… all I want to do is lay under my covers!! Everyone has been layering up like crazy. What are everyone’s plans today?!  I would love to hear!! You can shop this look and similar below.

XOXO

Yes

Skirt:Alice&Olivia|Coat:Maje|Boots:Joie (sold out)|Clutch:Edie Parker

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Yesterday I got lucky enough to shoot a bunch of great new looks before the cold weather struck again (hence today’s mini skirt). A floral print helps to brighten up our current stuck in winter minds…so why not. I paired this mini with a classic black turtleneck and oversized blue wool-blend coat. It has a wrap-like silhouette and belt, which cinches in the waist for a cozy feel.

A cheerful Edie Parker Yes clutch also brings a more springy vibe to this look. This one is no longer available, but I picked out a few other favorites of mine below. I am a little late to the game with my knee-high boots, but I got the best deal on this pair, which I am obsessed with…so you can expect to see them a lot in the next week (oops!!) This look is shoppable below. Thanks for stopping by today!!

Slouchy Minimalist

Sweater:Vince|Skirt:Theory(older)|Booties:Miu Miu| Bag:Reed Krakoff|Beanie:Autumn Cashmere (Similar here)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

This sweater is one of my favorite winter purchases. The oversized silhouette gives you so many options for styling and layering…even the possibility of layering it over the perfect dress. Today I decided on a yellow mini skirt and leopard beanie for a hip yet ultimately casual look. You can create this look with pretty much any solid mini and oversized sweater/top. It is perfect for the around-town gal who wants to look cool yet not overdone. You can shop this look and similar below. Thanks for stopping by!! XOXO

Necessary Neutral

Sweater:Zara|Dress:BB Dakota|Hat:Rag&Bone(similar)|Boots:Stuart Weitzman|Bag:Sara Battaglia(similar here)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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!!

Perfect Plaid

Sweater:Vince|Denim:Rag&Bone(Similar)|Boots:Christian Louboutin(Similar)|Bag:Coach

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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:

Houndstooth Mini

Sweater:J.Crew|Skirt:Forever21|Boots:Stuart Weitzman

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Mini Skirts never really go out of style. They are fun fashion items that anyone can rock with the proper accessories. Today’s mini features an allover houndstooth pattern with two front pockets. I may also add this particular mini is under $20 (so crazy!!)

If you are looking to switch up your look consider pairing your mini skirt with tights, stockings, or leggings. On top you can also go with a bomber (which are very on trend right now) layered over a chunky knit or even a cropped leather/suede jacket.  Shop this look and similar mini skirts below:

Pink Fluff

Good morning and happy Monday!! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. Today’s look is pink and fluffy. With the holidays around the corner and cold weather coming hats and jackets can make awesome gifts.

Today I have on a classic flight jacket in pink. It fits oversized and fully lined, which makes it great for the winter. I am always a fan of Eugenia Kim accessories. They are designed with feminine modernity, unexpected details, bold colors, and they never disappoint. The chunky knit I have on today is so adorable with pink pom poms on top!! It is linked and exclusive to Neiman Marcus and I also have listed a few other favorites. Shop my look below:

Charming

Sweater:Wildfox Couture|Jeans:Stella McCartney|Booties:Saint Laurent|Bag:Givenchy (similar)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Today’s sweater is also one of my holiday picks. It is impossible for this not to make you feel so happy!! The arms are covered with rhinestone-studded appliqués, which include hearts, cameras, glasses of wine, lips, and pizza! Too good!! It is one of my pick’s because it is too playful not to love. It can be paired with a skirt or trousers, but today I went with jeans for a very casual look. I wore my gold booties because they add to the fun of the look.

Below shop this look and similar sweaters, which include a few different appliqués on them.
