Toast of the Town

Tee:Kate Spade|Culottes:Zara (similar)|Booties:Barbara Bui|Jacket:J.Crew|Hat:Banana Republic (Similar here)

My favorite new layer is this jacket from J.Crew. It is so fluffy and teddy bear-like made from a Sherpa fabric. Olive green is a neutral color so I decided to spice up this look with calf hair booties and a gold lettered graphic tee…Toast of the Town. You can always add a cute statement to your outfit this winter by pairing the perfect hat. Shop this look below:

Necessary Neutral

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

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!!

Feelin Foxy

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:

Houndstooth Mini

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)

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.

Cargo&Camo

Sweater:Current/Elliott|Denim:Citizens of Humanity(Similar)|Boots:Aldo|Bag:Fendi (Similar)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

How ironic is it that something that is used to blend in with your surroundings is also a fashion trend that can make you stand out?!  Camouflage is typically a more rugged look, but there are just as many high-end pieces out there as there are your everyday tee’s and sweaters.

The oversized cardigan I have on today is by Current/Elliot and I LOVE it. It is so comfortable, and oversized sweaters are the best for fall and winter because you can put them on with legit anything. I decided to stay with the oversized vibe, and added my boyfriend/cargo jeans along with my new suede booties and perfectly matching Fendi bag! Below you will see other pieces by Current/Elliot along with one of my favorite items- the cargo pants by Faith Connexion (first seen on Kim K). I am obsessed.

What are your opinions on camo? Love or hate?! 

Shades of Gray

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. 

Wrap Vest

Vest:Joie|Pants:J.Crew|Boots:Sergio Rossi (older, similar here)

Happy wrap-vest Wednesday!!

Vests offer a cozy and warm layering look for fall and winter. This wool one by Joie has a contrast black and striped border that can be fastened closed with a thin leather belt. Vests always look great with jeans or leggings, and a pair of boots. Today I went with a legging-like pant from J.Crew, and over-the-knee boots. I added a black felt fedora to complete this fall look. Below, you can shop this look and other stylish options:

Zip Knit

Sweater:Asilio|Denim:Stella McCartney|Boots:Vince

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Today’s outfit is really unique for two reasons. The first being the obvious…..this awesome zippered knit from one of my new favorite brands Asilio. The details on it transform your average sweater into something much, much cooler, while also giving a breath of fresh air.  

The second being…these Stella McCartney jeans were originally bleached with a pink tone (we had a little mishap with the washing machine….oops!!). Anyway, now I have a new pair of jeans.

This look is very laid back. The cropped sweater adds the perfect touch of femininity for a comfortable, yet chic look paired with suede booties. You can shop this look and similar below (minus the pink Stella jeans!!):
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Fall Magic

Sweater:TopShop|Pants:TopShop|Shoes:TopShop(Similar)|Bag:Mansur Gavriel (sold out)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

You can expect to see me in a lot of TopShop this fall. I have been finding the pieces to be the perfect mix between the catwalk and the street. Today’s entire ensemble is indeed- TopShop.

I paired this cropped retro sweater with ivory trousers. There are a lot of details in these pieces that just seem to work even though they are different styles. From the black tassels on the sweater, button details on the pant pockets, and even the wrap-around tie fastening on the shoes…there is definitely some fall magic happening here.

Side note: These shoes were a favorite of mine last season and I could not be happier to see them yet again this year in suede and all different colors!! Shop this look and similar below!

Varsity Mesh

Trousers:Zara(older)|Knit Bomber:J.O.A.| Bag:Fendi|Sandals:Collection Privee

Dino Petrocelli Photography

With summer coming to end, there are some really great deals out there.  Starting with Intermix, now 50% off sale, check it out.  I was able to get these great sandals for only $64.00. I found this J.O.A. Varsity mesh sweater at Urban Outfitters and these adorable print trousers were from Zara. Putting this outfit together was so easy...I just added a tank from Banana Republic and jewelry by Chan Luu and Alexis Bittar. Hair up in a pony and my new monster bag for a touch of fun. I found this outfit to be perfect for a day when I'm running errands. Casual, fun and comfortable...unfortunately these items are already gone but I have found similar items I have listed below to make it easy.  I also thought you might like a couple recommendations which are favorites of mine just in case you might be thinking of a warm weather get away as the seasons begin to change. Selections go quickly so get them while you can...

Happy Shopping!!

Hues of Blue

Happy Friday everyone,

It feels so good to finally be out and about after much family illness. This week I was in New York with my sister and friends and we have been having such a good time. Wednesday we went to a white party at Bagatelle and Thursday we were invited to a launch party for StyleLend in Soho that was hosted in a beautiful penthouse owed by Nouriel Roubini. I had a chance to meet some really nice people and from there we had a great time bouncing around the city.

Now I am on to today's post where I am wearing my favorite white Joe's Jeans and this knit multi-color striped top with contrasting cuffs from T by Alexander Wang (on sale now!!). I am loving the striking look of this top and I added a blue belt that came on an older random dress and it just happened to work perfectly. 

Adding a neutral pump and a bag from Reed and all set for a casual day. I'm off running errands today. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see you Monday!

Watch Your Step

Jcrew:Sweater|Shorts|Belt|Bag:Reed Krakoff (Last Seen Here)| Pumps:Christian Louboutin

Hi everyone, hope your day is going well…just arrived in the city and putting up a quick post before running around. These 'Bermuda like' shorts are a perfect length to pair with pumps for me since I am not a real fan of short shorts with high heels. They are casual yet chic with the gold tuxedo stripe and super comfortable. Most of what I am wearing today is from J.Crew and I added my Reed Krakoff bag because it pulls the calf hair belt and all of the neutrals together. 

Girl Cave Boutique

I am so thrilled to collaborate with Girl Cave Boutique on today’s blog post!! Not only are there great pieces for affordable prices…but they are also made for the everyday woman. Many of the garments can take you straight from work and into the evening. I am beyond in love with this two-piece pink and light grey color-block set. It is so classy and chic and literally perfect for the spring. Matching sets are the best because you never have to worry what you are going to pair the other piece with!! They provide much more flexibility as each piece can also be worn as a separate! Shop this set and many other adorable pieces at Girl Cave Boutique.

Weekender

Tee:Current Elliot(Similar)|Denim:Rag&Bone|Sweater:JCrew|
Pumps:Christian Louboutin|Weekender Bag:Sydney Love

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Well I'm off to the city this weekend for some fun time with the girls. I love this camo weekender bag I came across at a local boutique and it's coming with…perfect for an overnight or a couple of days. Today I am wearing a pair of Rag & Bone jeans which work so well with the so Kate Louboutin pumps and I added a great white tee and an orange sweater I bought at J.Crew which picks up the orange in my bag…just a great casual outfit to travel in. Be sure to check out my Instagram…some great shots coming up this month as I finally have gotten the time for a much needed vacation. Can't Wait!!!

Knit Maxi Dress

Dress:T by Alexander Wang|Jacket:Vince(older)|Pumps:Barbara Bui (older)|
Clutch:Antonello|Choker:Eddie Borgo

Street meets luxury in this tasteful knit maxi dress from the line T by Alexander Wang. The collection is centered more around ‘tee-shirt dressing’, which offers a variety of styling options. I love that this dress is not skin tight, but more stretched out. When going about styling the chunky knit, I went with an urban-chic vibe. I added my new Antonello foldover clutch, which adds a unique touch with its handwoven fabric. I am so in LOVE with it!! The patterns between the clutch and the pumps look really cool together…and speaking of cool!! I finished the look with a black leather bomber jacket, safety chain choker, and long Chan Luu necklace. 

Nautical-Prep

_55A4285.jpg

You may recognize this dress from a recent post, however today it is taking an entire180. The striped dress I had paired with fringe rain boots and knee socks, I am now wearing with a deep V-neck sweater and patent leather pumps. The extra-long white knit just screams spring!! There is something very nautical and preppy about the stripes against the white and that is what inspired todays look. Both pieces can easily be styled on the more casual side, however I went with a pair of pumps instead of a white sneaker for a more elegant look. 

Knit Culottes

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.


Side Slit

Today’s oversized knit sweater is all about layering with the side slit. I love a great sweater and this one in particular is perfect all year round. Since it hasn’t been the warmest outside I layered a white tee and chambray shirt underneath. I just love how the open sides give visibility to the layering…especially on a day when the wind is blowing. On a warmer spring day I would not layer anything underneath it and instead, pair it with all white or a less distressed denim.
