Loop Cardi

Denim:Rag&Bone|Top:J.Crew(similar)|Cardigan:J.Crew|Belt:Tory Burch|Shoes:Stella McCartney

Dino Petrocelli Photography

…and I have officially found the sweater of my dreams.

Oversized & warm, this cardigan is one of those purchases I will live in. Wear it alone or layer it under an even bigger coat…either way you get the cozy feel from this loop cardi. It can bring you through fall, into the holiday season, and last you all winter.

Today I paired it with skinny jeans, my Stella flatforms, and my new beautiful patchwork belt! The colorful leather can add a spark to everything from billowy dresses to jeans and trousers. I am loving the mixture of patterns and deep tones for the fall. Shop today's look below:

Cowboy Cool

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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:

Sequin Bomber

Bomber:Rebecca Minkoff|Bodysuit:Theory|Leggings:J.Crew|Boots:Joie|Bag:Rebecca Minkoff

Add some sparkle to your week with this fabulous bomber!! It may be fully detailed in sequins, but the sporty style makes it casual enough to wear with almost anything. Today, I decided to pair it with all black for a chic day to night look, but you can wear this bomber with denim, leggings, and even sweatpants. The double-sided sequins have serious glam, and you will just love flipping them up and down all day and night. 

A Plaid Habit

Tee:J.Crew|Jacket:BB Dakota|Leggings:J.Crew|Boots:Balenciaga|Hat:Rag and Bone

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Nothing screams falling leaves and crisp weather more than a layer of woodsy warmth. Up your layering game this fall with eye-catching buffalo plaids and the classic check print.  You will find pieces that could literally dress you head to toe…from hats to socks and sneakers. 

There is something about the lumberjack resembling material that adds coziness to any outfit.  Today I am staying more on the grungier side and opted for a casual street-wear look pairing my oversized shirt jacket with a pocket tee, felt fedora, and motorboats. You can pair yours with jeans, or go all out with longer lengths and pieces with feminine details.  

World Tour

Bomber:Forever21|Sweater:Forever21|Leggings:Alice and Olivia (older)|Boots:Stuart Weitzman

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Nowadays, there’s a bit of a rock n’ roll streak running through the lines of several brands. The Ramones, Kiss, ACDC…etc. Fashion’s finest are taking to the streets in rock band t-shirts and jackets, and tearing their items to shreds for an edgier feel. It couldn’t be more true how everything comes back in style.

I found this padded bomber featuring an embroidered ACDC graphic on the chest and printed world tour logo on the back. You could wear it with jeans and a tee for a laid back feel or pair it with leggings as I did today. Underneath a layered knit with a drawstring cowl neck adds a little more warmth. It also is available in a few other colors. 

Knot Me

Top:DKNY|Skirt:Zara (also available here)|Booties:Miu Miu(older)|Bag:Rebecca Minkoff

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Monday got me like…

Messy hair. Don’t care.

With the weather staying a little bit on the warmer side…I like to get in some cute skirts and dresses without leggings or tights. The checked mini I have on today is from Zara and finished off with a built in knot, which is a detail you may see on a lot of pieces these days. It adds a subtle and fresh twist on your day-to-day look. I paired it with a crisp blouse with a sharp stand collar buttoned up all of the way and pinned it with a Chanel brooch.

As I was finishing up today’s post and browsing the internet for similar skirts to link I came across a site that had an identical piece. Below, shop today’s look along with a few mini skirts I just couldn’t resist to add!! Have a great week everyone!

Happy Friday Everyone!!

I posted this outfit on Instagram a few days ago, so I decided to put it up on my blog because something may just surprise you!! We have seen this patch trend from the runways to the streets and on pieces ranging from forever21 to designers such as Stella McCartney, Mira Mikati, Anya Hindmarch, and even Dolce and Gabbana.

Whether you want an artsy or more edgy vibe, the decoration and emoji-style detailing will not let you down. You can wear items completely covered or maybe just have 1 or 2 graphics. Pieces from the designers mentioned above may be a bit expensive for most of us, but that doesn’t mean you can’t join in on the fun. The sweater I have on today is under $20, and I don’t think anyone would ever even know. You can even get creative with this trend….I have seen adorable Iron on and Stick on patches…DIY!!

Below, I have linked today’s outfit and several other favorite patched pieces I have fell in love with at all price points. Thanks for stopping by today. Have an amazing weekend everyone!!

XOXO,

rue Saint-André des Arts

Maje:Tee, Skirt, Bomber|:Sandro Paris|Shoes:Stella McCartney|Sunnies:Celine

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Hi everyone!!!

I am so excited to be back on the blog today with a new outfit and even more excited for the weekend! Today’s look is one that can take you from day into night. As I am sure you have realized by now the bomber has taken over the fashion world, and it doesn’t look like it is going anywhere very soon. As the temperature begins to drop…coats, jackets, and layering pieces become non-negotiable, and the bomber is the perfect off-duty/cool piece for those on the go.

The bird embroidery and gathered effect on today’s jacket makes it a must-have piece in my opinion. Underneath I layered a cotton tee with lettering graphic “rue Saint-André des Arts” and a ribbed-knit midi skirt for a trendy, yet casual look. If you are looking for something a littler on the warmer side, check out the matching sweater or similar sweatshirt linked below.

Does anyone have any fun plans this weekend? My best friend will be home Friday and I can’t wait to go out, have fun, and just laugh. You know those times…when you are laughing so hard, feel like your gaining a 6-pack, and have tears coming out of your eyes? Those always make the best memories. Have an amazing day everyone!! Friday will be here soon enough.

XOXO,

Love is a Verb

Tee:EachxOther|Skirt:Derek Lam|Boots:Gianvito Rossi|Bag:Salar|Belt:J.Crew(older,love this)|Choker:Topshop(similar)|Socks:Club Monaco

Dino Petrocelli Photography

This was one of my favorite NYFW outfits I wore. I didn’t get the best photos in it so I wanted to be sure I got it up on the blog! I had bought this flared leather mini skirt at Intermix and originally was looking for some sort of bodysuit to wear with it. When I found this whimsical tee with the printed message “Love is a Verb” I thought it would give the outfit a different twist…but it was still missing something.

I got back to the apartment tried it on again and couldn’t quite put my finger on it. After trying on several different belts and accessories I finally tried on this crystal feather belt (it belongs to my sister) and thought it added a playful touch…especially combined with a crystal choker. I mean it was fashion week…..sometimes more is more!

Happy humpday!

Today’s look is a very easy outfit to mimic. It is based around a neutral color palette and everyday go-to pieces.

These are my favorite distressed/ high-waisted jeans from Levi’s, and are actually one of the least expensive pair I own. I wanted to showcase this leather jacket I haven’t worn yet, so when it came to a top I wanted something very tight fitting. To limit on bulk, and have on a tucked in top that actually STAYS tucked in I went with a bodysuit (which we know are all of the rage right now) I may also add, they are an amazing transitioning piece for an ultra-chic layered look.

I received this skinny scarf as a gift for attending the Zimmermann show, but obviously there are a ton of other options out there. An olive green west 57th schoolbag and glitter Saint Laurent booties draw the finishing touches on a casual everyday look. Thanks for stopping by today. 

XOXO,

Uptown Downtown

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:

I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!! I know I am…

I figured I would post this bright and cheerful oversized sweater today with white jeans because it’s Labor Day and you know what that means….

When it comes to wearing white after the holiday what are your thoughts? I know the so called ‘rule’ is a lot more relaxed these days…but many people still refuse to wear white after Labor Day. Personally, I love an all white outfit even in the winter. I think it can be stunning, especially with the right shoes.

Today, I added my favorite pair of Christian Louboutin pumps for a statement shoe. I love the mix of yellow, gold, and pink throughout this look with an added touch of sparkle. Shop below:

Pink and Oversized

Sweatshirt:Monki|Shorts:Rag&Bone|Sneakers:Vince (older)|Necklace:J.Crew (similar)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Pink & Oversized..two of my favorite things.

 As we sneak closer into the chillier weather most of us will be mixing pieces from both our summer and fall wardrobe. From shorts and booties, jeans and short sleeve tee’s, or as in today’s case shorts and an oversized sweatshirt…the combinations are endless…so don’t put away your summer attire just yet.

This high neck sweatshirt is a perfect transitioning piece. I love anything oversized and especially turtlenecks!! I added shorts a floral statement necklace with crystals because hey, it isn’t fall just yet!! Shop this look below:

I don’t understand how it is already September!! Where did the summer go…

Today’s post has been delayed for a few days because I was in the city but here it finally is! Destroyed mom jeans and a long sleeved crop=a few transitional pieces to hold you over until the colder weather approaches.

This outfit is an affordable off-duty look with edge and style. You will be sure to stand out in these authentic high-waist jeans and patterned long sleeved crop top. Add a pair of statement sneakers to finish off the look. Shop below:

Happy Monday!!

I hope everyone is doing amazing! As the summer comes to a close I find myself questioning weather or not to invest in certain items. It is time to start thinking about our cooler-weather wardrobe , but sometimes it is just TOO hard to pass up on certain pieces (hint: today’s tank!!!)

I feel like it has been forever since I have put a new outfit post up on the blog, but I couldn’t be more excited to share how this ‘girls’ knit top purchase can be justified and worn right into the fall and winter.

When it comes to autumn dressing…layers are key…so what makes a tank top any different? For this one in particular, I would add either a black bodysuit underneath, a snug fitting turtleneck or long-sleeve top.

Today, I have it paired with vintage inspired jeans with white eyelet details, and pink patent pumps for an unexpected GIRLy pop. A pink and brown suede bag mixed with silver and black jewelry acts as a perfect combo between street and chic. Shop today’s look below:

Venezia

Tee:J.Crew|Blazer:J.Crew|Pants:Topshop (older)|Wedges:J.Crew (sold out,similar)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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.

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.

Lilly Lover

Romper:Lilly Pulitzer|Bow:Lilly Pulitzer|Bag:J.Crew (similar)|Sunnies:J.Crew

Dino Petrocelli Photography

When I was younger I lived in everything and anything Lilly Pulitzer. As I got a little older, I grew away from it a bit…but sometimes when you step into a Lilly store it is just too hard not to fall in love all over again. When you wear bright colors, patterns, and prints it definitely affects your mood. It makes it impossible not to be happy and have fun no matter what you are doing.

For all of my Lilly lovers…the romper is a must have. Unfortunately, the one I have on today is no longer available online, but there are so many others that are just as adorable. To complete my look I added a straw bag, white sunnies, put my hair in a topknot and clipped in a Lilly bow. Shop below:

Firty Florals

Tee:Forever21(sold out,similar here/dress here)|Overalls:Forever21|Sandals:Birkenstock

Dino Petrocelli Photography

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,

It's the weekend!!!

Wow, I cannot believe the summer is flying by and in a few days it will be August. It is such a short season!!! On the upside however, I will be going on vacation very soon so I have been getting ready for that, making my last few purchases. One new item I got was a camera. Knowing my photographer was not going to be around I wanted to start taking some shots on my own. No comparison to the work he does, not by a long shot. I have a lot to learn and I think I just might be in over my head but I'll get there. I have pretty much kept things only about the clothes but I figured if I am going to continue on with this venture then it's time to start opening myself up so, coming up on two years now, that will be one of things to look for. I want my followers to be able to relate to me not just what I am wearing. All suggestions gratefully accepted.

Today I kept it pretty simple, just wearing shorts and a tee but, I wanted to share my new picnic basket and blanket that I got from Joss & Main. I have wanted these items for awhile now and the price was right. I love spending the afternoon relaxing in the park and just taking in what's going on around me. Hope you enjoy!!! Have a great weekend everyone. Shop links below:
