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:

Top:Splendid|Denim:Joe's Jeans|Espadrilles:Rebecca Minkoff
Springy and casual for a beautiful Wednesday afternoon!! I paired a classic silhouette pinstripe button up with white jeans…and check out these awesome espadrilles!! The BIGGEST thank you to the Rebecca Minkoff team for a pair of their studded flats in bright coral. I am obsessed!! Pops of color are bound to make a difference in your outfits and wardrobe this spring (and pretty much all year long) Shop today’s look below:
Happy Monday Everyone!!!
I do not know about you, but I definitely have found love in this graphic oversized tee designed by Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci. What really interests me is that Tisci gets a majority of his inspiration from the streets and the diverse culture of America. As a graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology….I spent four years studying different ideologies of society and the deeper meanings behind both human relationships and institutions. I thought of sociology after I watched a brief video I found on the internet (that you can watch here) Tisci takes his personal thoughts and experiences and dives into his creative work. You may see repetitive symbols such as stars, Bambi, basketball, rottweiler’s, and even sayings such as the one on today’s tee “I Feel Love”…and they all hold meanings.
It only makes sense that I went with a very distressed and streetstyle look with denim, black booties, and a black leather choker. These Fendi bug Chelsea boots are my latest shoe purchase and I just am TOO obsessed!! Anyway…you can get this look and similar by shopping below:
Thanks for stopping by today!!
XOXO Lauren
One of my favorite boutiques to shop at in my area is Circles. They offer some of the most sought after designers such as DVF, Joie, Rag & Bone, Theory, Splendid, Veronica Beard, Nicole Miller Etc. Three pieces of today’s look can be found at the store- this jacket (Splendid), skirt (Joie), and boots (Vince). All pieces are favorite’s of mine this season.
I love that the long knit sleeves on this anorak give such a cozy vibe for the cold weather…not to mention are designed with a tribal inspired pattern. In addition to the striped tee and scarf layered underneath, I added this high-waisted wool skirt with an exposed front zipper, which is the perfect wardrobe addition. Suede booties are a must this fall and this pair fromVince offer the perfect touch and are also selling out fast!! Shop them below along with other items from today’s look. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Enjoy.
Trousers:Alice & Olivia (sample sale find)|Top:Banana Republic (older)
Let’s hear it for wide-leg trousers!! I picked up this pair at an Alice and Olivia sample sale a few months ago in the city.
There is a certain swagger to the large amounts of fabric…and endless styling options. This orange pair sits very high on the waist and since I am not the biggest fan of crop tops I went with a loose tank and rolled it under. The glitter on the top adds enough adornment so I decided no necklace. By keeping the top half simple and high wedges on on bottom makes this look very easy-to-wear.
Shorts:Denimocracy (Here in White)| Shirt: Rails| Sandals: Sophia Webster
I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and starts the week off on a positive note because we all know... Monday’s can be a little crazy.
Today I am excited to announce my collaboration with Denimocracy and Streddo!! How awesome are these tomboy shorts?! Such a relaxed fit and perfectly distressed. These shorts are made for the days when you want to be casual and comfortable. I paired them with my new short-sleeve buttondown from Rails and knotted it into a crop-style shirt…keeping the relaxed look steady. Banana slides and a leather belt finish off this tomboy chic outfit.

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.
Coat: Jack by BB Dakota Last seen here|Skirt:JCrew (Older)
Converse sneakers have been around for years and are one of the most practical shoes. The reason being…they can be worn ranging with sweatpants to dresses and skirts and can suit all styles. Today I am wearing a white pair with all neutrals and a mix of sweatshirt material pieces. This is the first time I am wearing this trench style coat from Jack by BB Dakota and I have no idea why because I am so in love with it!!! The gray sleeves and hood against the khaki panels add such a different twist on the average trench. I paired it with a simple white tee and ‘flared surf skirt’ for a practical yet adorable everyday outfit.
Happy Friday!!! Thank god it is finally the weekend! This look is all about comfort or as some may call it “casual Friday”. I paired these amazing knit culottes from Zara with a simple white long sleeve tee, white converse, and a chambray shirt. A shirt tied around the waist tends to look effortless and breezy, and is such a great way to relax a look…and I am definitely going to be rocking these pants a lot this spring, they are so easy to throw on with just about anything.

Springing fashionably forward today with Current Elliot, Rag & Bone, and Joie. I recently stopped into Circles, a local boutique and spied this outfit on the mannequin, and knew right away I had to have it…found out one of my favorite girls styled it…Kudos Alex!! They pulled the entire outfit for me, I tried it on, and then added this floppy brim fedora. I am in love with the fit of these cropped pants especially since I have a very difficult time finding pants that fit me well. The tee I am sporting actually is a muscle tank with an open back…going to be so cool for the summer. The Current Elliot denim jacket is oversized and boxy and I imagine I will be pairing this with a lot. Easiest outfit I have ever purchased!!

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.

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.

You cannot go wrong with a cape…they are great for a warm fall day to throw over a shirt or dress or a chilly day to layer over your coat. They can be worn from daytime into evening and whatever the weather, this trend is in!! I love this black and gray Fraas cape with my structured legging pixie pant from J.Crew…so chic!

This leather pant goes on skinny and stretchy with an elastic waist, similar to your favorite pair of leggings. I love how you can dress the leather up with a nice heel, or wear them casual with a pair of sneakers. This pair of suede and fur-lined sneakers offer the ultimate contrast of sporty and chic.

When wearing leggings pair them with booties similar to the Blondo ones shown above. You can wear them with an oversized sweater for a casual look or try a popover blouse with a blazer for something a little more sophisticated. This pair of edgy leggings and matching blazer are accented with leather panels and give off a hit of 'rock glamour'.

Don't pack away the mini skirts yet…it's all about layering!! Every girl needs to have staples in their wardrobe that are perfect for layering in all seasons (A white blouse, a chambray shirt, the perfect LBD). You can transition an outfit like this a little later by simply adding a pair of tights. I love the look of the chambray shirt under this elephant sweatshirt I needed to have!! and who doesn't love a good cause?! 100% of the net proceeds of this sweatshirt go to rescuing and protecting orphaned elephants.
