Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

I got back from NYFW last week (which was absolutely amazing!) I adore seeing the new collections and witnessing all of the details in person. A few of my favorite shows included Zimmermann and Rebecca Minkoff, and I had the pleasure to meet all of the designers!

The Minkoffshow was held right on Greene Street in Soho outside of the store. She shut down the entire street!! The pieces were classic, stylish, functional, and a little funky!

The sweatshirt and bag I am rocking today are designed by Rebecca. The sweatshirt shows you can go both ways…with a bold uptown graphic and shady downtown lettering falling like a shadow (as it would in Midotwn). I layered it over a blouse dress and added the classic Balenciaga moto ankle boot for an edgier touch. Shop today's look below:

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.

The Finishing Touch

It is always the finishing touches that make an outfit complete and one of a kind. I love a good white dress in the summer, and this one happens to be simple and chic with a back cut-out detail. With little white dresses you always have a variety of styling options so it really is up to you what you are in the mood for. You can stay all white, add black pieces for a nice black and white look or you can add statement pieces for a bold look.

Today I decided on showcasing my favorite pink patent leather and glittered pumps. They are vibrant, girly, and ohh so fun!! I added this straw shoulder bag for a final touch of pink. Shop this look below:

 

Earn Your Stripes

Happy fourth of July everyone!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend and time off of work to relax and spend time with friends and family. I know a lot of people go away for the weekend either to the beach or lake….I am home by the pool this year and I plan on laying out for the rest of the day!!

Today I am “earning my stripes”(how convenient for the holiday?!) in this adorable tee dress with a ruffled hem. Ruffles always add a touch of femininity to anything and I think that is why I am always drawn to pieces detailed with them. Many of the pieces from this brand actually have them, while also being relaxed yet refined and fashion-forward. You can shop this look and other similar pieces below. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!!

XOXO,

A Bit of Knit

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

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!

Offbeat Chic

First and foremost thank you SO much to everyone who attended my first event at Rebecca Minkoff!! I was beyond happy with the turnout and I am so grateful for the opportunity. I loved meeting and chatting with some of my followers and it is so amazing to see the huge impact social media has today…connecting people from all over with similar interests. I cannot imagine life without it (I am a serious Instagram addict)

I told everyone I would put all of my outfit details from my event the other night on the blog. I usually do not do outfit posts on the weekend…but why wait?! This is the Judith dress from Minkoff of course (one of my current fav’s…but then again so is everything in the store) I love the shoulder cut-outs and the flowy texture. It is just perfect. I decided to pair it with booties instead of heels because 1. I knew I was going to be on my feet for a while and 2. They add a hint of realness to this angel-like dress.

This style is available in a few other colors and there is also the “Robbie” style, which is very similar and offered in a floral print. I went ahead and picked out some of my favorite pieces currently available and you can shop them below:

It’s that time of year again….

LITTLE WHITE DRESS SEASON….

And I’ve rounded up some of the best LWD’S ALL under $100!!!

The best part about the piece? It is fun and easy to wear. You can literally do anything you want with it. From neon colors to prints and patterns...the LWD can handle it all.

This lace up shift dress by JOA is detailed with a front tie closure and front patch pockets. I decided to add a little bit of both black and leopard throughout with my accessories. Shop the look below:

If you follow me on Snapchat (laurrecc) then you may have seen me wearing this dress in Aruba trying to get “the shot”….I ended up not getting the best ‘shot’ of my outfit (I blame it on you Catherine!!!)  JK. Anyway, this dress is one of my favorites so I had to make sure I posted it on the blog.

I love the embroidered stars throughout and the ruffled detail at the bottom. Lately I have been so drawn to ruffles and pleats for the spring and summer. They are so feminine and fun. This dress is also available with long sleeves, as a shirt, or in navy and gold.  You can shop my look below. Thank you for stopping by today!!

Kick Back

Dress:Rag&Bone|Sneakers:Vince(similar)|Bag:Fendi|Sunnies:J.Crew x Illesteva (sold out)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Everything is all about the ‘kicks’ these days. It makes sense for the girl always on the run…they are practical and most of all comfortable…and you can pair them with pretty much anything. My kicks today have mesh side panels making them that much cooler!!

I am wearing a Rag & Bone navy/black two-tone dress, Illesteva sunnies, and my favorite mini Fendi monster bag for a very casual look. This is an outfit that is very easy to make your own by adding pieces for your own unique flare. Get the look below:
