Paris

Beret:Stella McCartney|Top:Topshop|Pants:Theory(older)|Boots:Reed Krakoff(similar here)|Scarf was a gift from Paris

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Bonjour!!!

I am feeling very Parisian today with my new Stella McCartney beret…so what better way to accessorize it than with a Paris scarf draped across my shoulders. Both lend an effortlessly chic finish to this look. As you may know by now, I tend to stick to neutrals when the weather changes. They are easy to mix-and-match, are simple and versatile.

My parents bought me this scarf while they were in Paris, so unfortunately I have no advice on where to purchase it! The good news is…you do not need it to pull off this look. Below I have picked out other berets, wraps, and scarves that will work just as well. Remember, you do not need to stick to one neutral color. I hope you enjoy! Have a great day!

Tokyo is for Lovers

Staying sharp with this amazing charcoal plaid coat from J.O.A. (which is now under $100 I may add!) Today’s look is a casual and everyday outfit featuring jeans and a printed tee with the script “Tokyo is for Lovers”. I went a few sizes up in the top because I preferred it a little oversized.

This look is one everyone can put their own twist on. Whether it be a different tee, a sweater, layering, or accessories…let your style shine! I added a felt Rag and Bone hat for a charming touch and menswear-inspired feel. I wore my favorite Stuart Weitzman 50/50 leather/neoprene boots. For anyone looking for the perfect pair of over-the-knee boots I recommend these. I know they are a little pricey, but trust me they are worth every penny!! Below shop this look and similar plaid coats:

Shades of Gray

Jacket:Splendid|Skirt:Joie|Boots:Vince

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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:

Wanted

Skirt:Chicwish|Top:Topshop|Sunnies:Jimmy Choo|Shoes:Jimmy Choo|Wrislet:Coach

Dino Petrocelli Photography

I am going to go out on a limb here and say this branch out pleated maxi skirt from Chicwish is seriously the coolest statement piece for the fall. I get such an October/ November vibe from the black and white print. I kept this look sharp with a black top, lace-up pumps, and added an envelope style wristlet with a script message-Wanted. Below you can shop this look and similar black and white skirts. Thanks for stopping by!! XOXO

Drawing The Line

Jumpsuit:TopShop|Top:TopShop|Boots:Saint Laurent (older)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

How awesome is this faux leather jumpsuit from TopShop?! (I told you…I am obsessed these days) It is a pretty edgy piece so I decided to stick to monochrome tones. The clean lines and black crewneck add a bold touch to this look.

These boots from Saint Laurent are no longer available but I picked out a few pair I love just as much that would also work with this outfit. I found a pair at TopShop that are SO similar to my favorite Louboutin boots (but in suede). You can find them listed below! Also…here is a little good news to brighten up your Tuesday- A sale at Shopbop starts today. 25% off for 3 days only. Use code INTHEFAME25 with your order. Happy Shopping!

Don't Even Care

Sweatshirt:Etre Cecile| Jeans:Etre Cecile| Boots:Saint Laurent

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Monday got me….

Not Even Caring.

I have been finding some really amazing patchwork pieces online recently, especially in denim. Some splurge worthy and others so inexpensive…either way both end up being TOO GOOD to pass up.

Today’s jeans have a vintage look to them, but the plaid patch adds a preppy feel. I love pairing white button-ups under sweaters and sweatshirts so it worked out perfectly! When it came to shoes…I was debating between Adidas sneakers and my gold boots. Although both would work, I love how the gold looks mixed with the yellow in the plaid. I went ahead and picked out some other really cool patchwork jeans and graphic tee’s and sweatshirts. Shop below! And enjoy your week! 

Easily Suede

Blouse:A.L.C.|Shorts:Rag&Bone|Boots:Prada

Dino Petrocelli Photography

I wore this outfit a couple of weeks ago to the preview of the Rag and Bone capsule collection for Intermix. The Pope was in town (AKA lot’s of traffic) and as I was rushing out the door to catch my Uber my sister snapped a few quick photos for me. I previously posed one on Instagram, but didn’t think it did the trick of showing off the outfit…so here we are!

One of the hottest trends right now is suede, and there is just soo much you can do with it. Whether it be layering it up (suede on suede), adding suede shoes, or if you are a festival girl…the obvious fringe and tassels! Think chic nude, tan, burnt orange, mustard, and even burgundy. I decided to pair a lace blouse with my brown suede shorts, and then added my new favorite patchwork suede ankle boots, which tie in all of the perfect colors for fall. Below, shop similar alternatives. Thanks for stopping by. XOXO

Boom

Sweatshirt:MSGM|Skirt:Derek Lam (last seen here)|Pumps:Alexandre Birman(older)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

And just like that….BOOM… it's Monday again. 

I love graphic tee's for the summer but when the weather starts to cool down I like to look for graphic sweatshirts and other layering pieces for the fall and winter. These pullovers (that come in various styles) can be our answer to in-between-seasons dressing, but more importantly statement pieces that can be paired with unexpected separates. 

I paired this sweatshirt from MSGM with a checkered, knit skirt from Derek Lam (one of my favorites.) I think it adds a really cool element to this look, not to mention the color red is always so striking.  Shop more from this look below. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Knit Puffball Skirt

Turtleneck:Alice&Olivia(here in black)|Skirt:Maje (currently sold out)|Belt:Maje|Leather Coat:Theory(sold out/similar below)|Bag:Fendi
Dino Petrocelli Photography

Hey everyone!! I'm a little late on today's post…but this is an outfit I wore a few weeks ago during NYFW. Originally I paired this with a deep v-neck sweater, but since we are all in fall mode now... today I decided to go with a navy turtleneck. This skirt is from Maje, and sold out  fast (which is happening so much lately). To accessorize this look I added a two-tone fabric belt (also from Maje) a navy leather jacket over my shoulders, and my fav Fendi monster bag!! Shop similar styles below and enjoy your weekend!!

London Calling

Top:Milly|Skirt:Chicwish|Pumps:Jimmy Choo

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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.

New Neutral

Romper:Rag&Bone|Clutch:Lanvin (older)|Pumps:Christian Louboutin|Choker:Eddie Borgo|Necklace:Alex Bittar

Dino Petrocelli Photography

With summer coming to a close and fall right around the corner we all have one thing in mind…transitional dressing. Sometimes it can be the worst especially when it comes to shoes!!

When I think about shifting into fall, I start to wear more neutrals. It is important to remember there are more neutrals than just your black, gray, and beige shades. Think olive green, mustard yellow, burgundy, etc.

It is still very hot out so I am sticking to cooler clothing for now. When the temperature starts to change, a silk romper like the one I am wearing today can easily be paired with an oversized sweater.

Shop this look below.

You Make Me Blush

Co-Ord-Asos|Blouse:Anne Fontaine|Bag:Chloe(sold out)|Booties:Reed Krakoff(older)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Co-ords have been such a popular trend lately. Whether it is due to the fact they can be worn any time of the day, on any occasion, or maybe because they have an awesome print…

My reason for this set? I love that the tailored vest and wide-leg culottes are not your average and predictable skirt and crop top. Originally I planned on wearing the vest with a silk neck scarf, but I love the white blouse combination. The double collar on this one adds a chic and sophisticated touch.  I kept my accessories to a minimum today and added my Faye small shoulder bag by Chloé for a more refined look.

When it comes to wearing color I am such a pink girl or in this case…blush. If you are more of a neutral girl…be sure to check out the silver gray version below along with similar items!! Happy shopping!!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!!

Heart of Gold

NYC Street Style

Blouse:J.Crew|Skirt:Alice&Olivia|Boots:Chanel

Dino Petrocelli Photography

I tend to forget how unexpected and cool gold outfits and accessories can be. Most people only experiment with sparkles and sequins around the holidays, but there are so many different ways to incorporate gold into your look.  I have had this skirt in my closet for so long and have never had the chance to wear it. It was a sample sale find at Alice and Olivia. When I got these Chanel pink felt short boots for my birthday I could not wait to pull it out!! They are probably one of my favorite editions to my fall wardrobe so far and they added just the right amount of color to this fun look. I was able to tone the skirt down a bit by pairing it with a white blouse, yet the gold hearts keep the outfit cohesive.

 Don’t be afraid to add the sparkle or sequin for day wear and remember... “A little party never killed nobody”. 

Act Natural

So happy to be back on the blog today, yet so sad summer is coming to an end. I just got back from vacation on Saturday and I am missing the beach oh soo much. The weather was perfect and I am not looking forward to the winter.

Today I am wearing an ivory tunic (now on sale), which actually fits as a dress on me. It is VERY oversized and has a polo/tennis feel to it. The contrasting ribbon stripes make it very easy to pair with all of your favorite neutral accessories, which is why I added my two-tone Reed bag to bring in some other colors. The dress is also available in black. Shop this look below:

A Fresh Take

TGIF.

 I just love a great mini skirt especially the combination of colors in this one. This flower print mini can be dressed up or down but I went with neutral sandals for a casual Friday look. The tasseled cuff on this pair adds a playful personality to an already fun summer skirt. The skirt sits pretty high on the waist so a knotted tee adds a fresh take on the average crop top today.  

What are everyone’s plans for the weekend?! I arrived in the city last night with my boyfriend and plan on celebrating my 24th birthday this weekend with my sister and best friends!! I can’t wait! I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Fine Print

Every time you “have nothing to wear” are your black and white pieces your go-to?! I know for me I feel like I can always depend on my all black or all white outfit’s last minute. There is something faultless and reassuring about simple black and white and todays outfit combines the two.

 After purchasing my first Tanya Taylor piece last fall, I fell in love with the line.  There is something very feminine and chic about her garments. I love this dress in particular not only because of the fine print, but because of the style as well. It is almost trendy and elegant at the same time with the A-line hem and the cut-out shoulders. I added my black and white contrast leather pumps and went for a little jewelry change…switching up my usual Yurman chain for my Alexis Bitter crescent necklace. 

Pleated Poise

Top:T by Alexander Wang(sold out)|Skirt: Derek Lam 10 Crosby(sold out)|Sneakers:Zara

Dino Petrocelli Photography

I have had this mini skirt from A.L.C. for so long now and could never seem to pair it with the right top/shoes. The top part of the skirt is actually a gray sweatshirt material and then finished off with chic white pleats at the bottom. After purchasing this muscle tank by Alexander Wang (also sweatshirt material) I wanted to try it on “just to see what it would look like” with the skirt and I ended up loving the combo. It is sporty yet still girly. For shoes I went with a pair of white slip-on hightops from Zara.

For those who are wondering about this super cool necklace…it was a present from Ellie Vail Jewelry (www.ellievail.com) I am so obsessed with it and have been wearing it nonstop. When I had on this outfit I knew this had to be the necklace for it. The heartbeat rhythm reminded me of the black graphic tee I wanted oh sooo bad from Alexander Wang with the red heartbeat circling it from front to back.

And last but not least…today let me formally introduce you to KARLITO!! I just love him. He was an early birthday gift from my mother (you da bomb Gail). I added him to my mustard color Givenchy bag for a pop of color and fun.  Shop similar below. 

New World of Coach

Coach Sunnies, Mini Rhyder Bag, Key Ring                                   

 Dino Petrocelli Photography

I feel like it has been forever since I have posted, but guess what…IM BACK!! I hope everyone has been enjoying these beautiful summer days. I cannot believe it is almost the middle of August already…the summer is flying by.

Thanks to Coach I get to enjoy the rest of my summer in style with my new blue aviators and metallic Mini Rhyder bag. I added my new accessories to a beachy and laidback look. I stayed pretty neutral with colors today and let the shimmer of the metallic pebble leather do all of the talking. I also attached a mixed-metal star key ring to my new bag because it adds a playful touch. This bag can be hand-carried or worn with the long strap (which I prefer). I have been investing in more bags that are crossbody style because they are so much easier in the middle of the hustle and bustle of New York City.

I Hope everyone has a great week!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Xoxo Lauren
