Beanies and fedoras are a fashion girls favorites during cold weather seasons, but no hat collection is complete without a beret. Beyond the official duties of the topper in the military, the beret has almost become a cliche symbol of Parisian style

I’M BACK!!!!
After spending a few hours fixing my site (which is still in the process) I can finally show you one of my new looks!! I called today’s post cowboy cool because this shirt/dress gives off a little bit of a cowboy vibe with the snap cuffs and fold-over collar. I was originally going to wear it as a dress with sneakers, but ended up switching it up…which is one reason this is worth the purchase…two in one!!
Can you believe it is already November 1st?? It is officially holiday season…which means one thing…TIME TO START OUR SHOPPING. I have added a new shop for the season, which consists of my choices for both outfits and potential gifts. If you have noticed the bottom of my site may look a little bit different today. My currently craving section is in the process of being made into its own shop, which will be added at the top. I hope everyone has a great day!! Thanks for stopping by today. Below, shop today’s look:

Ciao!!!
Thank God It’s Friday!! I am off to the shore on Monday…woohoo!!
You may have recently seen me wear a Paris graphic tee in the last week, and today I am showcasing my Venezia one with a gondola and all! They are both part of the destination art tee’s from J.Crew. There are a few others including Rome and New York (both so cute and linked below)
Staying with the whole ‘water scene’ on the tee…why not emphasize the striped lining inside of this linen blazer and sailor-like stripe wedges. I got these wide-leg pants from Topshop last year and the buttons seems to pull the entire look together. I added red sunnies for something a little different! I hope everyone has an amazing weekend.

Tee:Forever21(sold out,similar here/dress here)|Overalls:Forever21|Sandals:Birkenstock
Here is something to brighten up your Monday blues….this outfit is under $30. I originally had stopped in Forever21 and picked up a few pieces that I thought were cute and could mix with some other items I had at home. When I was paying in line I had the idea to layer this striped tee under the floral romper for a little pattern play. One trick for mixing patterns is to keep them in the same color family. Another is to treat stripes as a neutral.
I think this romper is too adorable to pass up. The red allover floral print is lush and striking and the boxy fit and adjustable straps lend you that overalls vibe. Below, I also added a few other similar pairs I love just as much. Thanks for stopping by today.
XOXO,

Tee:Splendid|Jeans:Rag&Bone|Scarf:Rockins|Fedora:J.Crew|Pumps:Christian Louboutin|Bag:Mansur Gavriel|Sunnies:Jimmy Choo
Serious Rock&Roll vibes this Friday….I mean why not IT IS the weekend!! Black and white stripes, a knotted tee, fedora, a skinny scarf with lips and paisley print, and of course statement sunnies=all of your rock fashion trends (minus the mohawk and ripped denim vest) combined into 1 chic outfit.
Remember that sale at Intermix I mentioned last week? That’s where I found this pair of striped Rag&Bone jeans for under $100…it seems as though they are sold out now so I linked a few other sites below (also pretty low in stock too) I have been obsessing over skinny scarves lately especially all of the ones from Rockins. You can wear them a ton of different ways and they add that free-spirited edge to your outfit. Shop this look below. Enjoy your weekend everyone!!!
XOXO,

Tee:Coach|Shorts:Alice&Olivia|Booties:Toga
Starting my Monday in this cowgirl/prairie like/floral patchwork tee from Coach. I literally could not decide on which one I wanted because they are all so adorable. The bold colors are the perfect statement for summer. I went with the white because I wanted to focus on the vibrant reds, and also because I wanted to pair my red Toga boots detailed with western buckles…I thought they were a perfect match for this look. This tee is also available in grey and also in an irresistibly soft sweatshirt.
I have on white shorts from Alice & Olivia today, but I also love the idea of red shorts (maybe with a different color shoe). For shorts on the dressier side and the perfect wide-leg trousers, Alice & Olivia is always my go to. I am mentioning the trousers because I think they would look really cool as well however, I would do a heel or wedge instead of a bootie. The other tee’s I was debating over are screen-printed with different ‘landscapes’ and are super unique. What I love most about today’s post is that all items/ similar items linked below can be mixed and matched with each other and also with several other colors. I hope you enjoy. Have a wonderful week everyone!
Dress:Tularosa|Booties:Saint Laurent(sold out)|Sunnies:Jimmy Choo
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!!
XOXO
Dress:Veronice Beard (also available in rust)| Boots:Joie(sold out)|Choker:Chan Luu
Today’s look reminds me of the salsa dancer emoji (in a good way). It is ruched to perfection and the red floral print is TOO good for spring!! This dress can be easily taken day to night with a change of shoes.
If you have been following along on Instagram then you have seen my newest choker obsession by Chan Luu. I love it so much!! It is simple, yet so sophisticated, and I love that it can still look great layered with other pieces.
Today’s items are a little pricey…so I also picked out some great alternatives. You can shop this look below. Thank you for stopping by!!
Coat&Beret:Katya Kovtunovich|Belt:Kate Spade|Boots:Saint Laurent(similar here)
Hi Everyone!!
I love the color red this time of year. It is so stunning.
Last week I received this beautiful custom made coat all the way from Dubai. This floor-length coat is a statement piece for sure. I cannot thank the designer Katya Kovtunovich enough. She is taking the world by storm with her modern interpretation on Arabic fabrics by creating clothes that appeal to women worldwide.
I paired an all black look underneath for a chic, yet simple look as this coat does all of the talking. A matching beret and jeweled belt add the finishing touches. Keep an eye out for this designer as she has royal and celebrity admirers including Lady Gaga.
Tis’ the season for layering...a look that can keep you warm but also make an outfit more interesting. All you need to do is combine a few basics along with some similar style pieces. My basics today consist of a navy turtleneck and a pair of jeans. I have mixed in a feminine and fitted houndstooth blazer with a buffalo-check vest and oversized scarf.
You have to check out the Sperry collection for J.Crew!! The winter-weather-ready boots are cozy and perfect for the snow. You can shop this look and similar below. Have a great day everyone!! XOXO
J.Crew Vest, Chambray Top, Scarf| Hat:Kate Spade| Denim: Rag&Bone|Booties:Toga Pulla
Classic buffalo check =a no-brainer. It has such a cold weather feel to it. Today I paired an oversized wool checked scarf with a similar style down vest, which is perfect for layering. The pattern just gives off feelings of warmth.
If you are feelin foxy then this hat is a must!! It is too cute with its face just peaking out over the cuff and detailed with rhinestone eyes, a faux fur pompom on top, and tail in the back. Have a wonderful week everyone. You can shop this look below:
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:
Sweatshirt:H&M|Jeans:Joe's Jeans|Boots:Toga Pulla|Scarf:Vintage Celine|Hat:Older
You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to spice up your look…sometimes all you need are the right accessories. Even the most boring outfits can be transformed with the help of a few key pieces. Today I have on jeans and a plain black sweatshirt (boring right?!) but the outfit is given character by red accents and a mod inspired driving cap.
Around my neck is a Celine printed silk scarf I ordered off of the vintage boutique on Farfetch. There are some really awesome pieces on there for great prices. The red design just happens to match my new Toga Pulla boots….which I immediately became obsessed with as soon as I saw. I think the western style silver buckles on the side are just the coolest and the scarf adds a perfect refined touch.
If you are searching for a plain sweatshirt, I recommend this one from H&M. It is a great price and also comes in light pink and gray. Below, shop this look and my scarf picks (both vintage & new) I hope everyone has an amazing weekend. XOXO
Dress:Christophe Sauvat|Boots: Maje x Minnetonka |Clutch:Isabella Fiore (older)
If you have been following my blog and Instagram account then you know about these awesome over-the-knee boots. For those of you who are new- first of all welcome!! And second, these are from the Minnetonka X Maje collaboration. Boots can be so expensive…so it’s awesome when you find a pair that are so reasonably priced.
The fringe on the back give the modern boots such a boho feel, so it only made sense to pair them with a flowy dress. The one I have on today is by Christoph Sauvat. The red printed dress is detailed with button closures, self-tie tassels, and beads.
Right now, most of the sizes in every color of the boots are sold out, but the good news is you can sign up to receive an email when they are back in stock. I went through and picked out some of my favorite similar style dresses that can also be paired with these boots. Shop Below & enjoy!
Top:Milly|Skirt:Chicwish|Pumps:Jimmy Choo
Cheerio!
London fashion week has just come to a close, but I thought it would be the perfect time to share this fabulous skirt while London is still on everyone’s mind! The detailed red telephone booth and bus are a unique statement on this cool midi-skirt. I paired it with my cropped mock neck knit from Milly and lace up leather pumps (which also come in red)
Yesterday I spent the day shooting a bunch of new looks to share, and when I got on the elevator to shoot some rooftop shots something happened that could not have been scripted. My hands were full and I dropped my phone….into the elevator shaft…you know that little slit the size of a penny….and down it went…2 entire floors. We all stood there in shock like did that seriously just happen…then burst out laughing. I cannot tell you all of my experiences with cell phones. Anyway, long story short I ended up getting it back after a few phone calls were made and there was not even 1 single crack on the screen. Talk about luck!
I hope today’s look is totally your cup of tea!! Thanks for stopping by.
XOXO Lauren
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!

Skirt: Kate Spade
Shoes: Alexandre Birman(Still available in black)
Jewelry: David Yurman,Hermes, Vita Fede,Eddie Borgo
This week I shot a few outfits in the studio because of the cold weather and I want to start showing some holiday wear. Periodically I will be doing this throughout the holiday season because I want you to see the outfits without a coat! Today I am wearing Kate Spade. This red flared mini skirt has endless styling options…from solid colors to graphic tees to patterns. I added this playful and glittering "Speak of the Devil" tee for something a little different. These red Alexandre Birman shoes are detailed with snakeskin and cut-out leather.
