Suede, once thought of a material for cooler temperatures has become season-less. The delicate fabric continues to show its versatility, which has made it a well worth it investment.

Get spotted this winter in a must-have leopard coat. Many debate, "is leopard the new neutral?"Well, why don't you see for yourself! A heavy faux-fur or wool blend statement coat is just as functional as it is fierce. Pull a Kate Moss and pair it with a tee or glam it up over your perfect LBD. Shop this look below:
Dress:Asos(wearing petite)|Bodysuit:Wolford|Boots:Stuart Weitzman|Bag:Salar(sold out,similar below)
This holiday season try something a little different than your average red, green, or all black outfits. Show me your stripes!!! Horizontal, vertical, black, white, colorful, or any-which way stripes make a graphic statement. They add a new rule to dressing up. If stripes aren’t your thing, you can try adding prints or textured statements.
I am SO in love with this jacquard mini dress (available petite, regular, or tall). The price is pretty crazy too! With the weather really cooling down these last few weeks, I decided to add an easy-to-layer Wolford bodysuit underneath. Turtleneck’s are really my thing (even though some people think they are for your grandma) I think they are always classy and elegant. With this look, the turtleneck adds a more effortless element.

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.
Bomber:Forever21|Sweater:Forever21|Leggings:Alice and Olivia (older)|Boots:Stuart Weitzman
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.
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!!
I have officially checked out of New York Fashion Week and checked into my new shawl-like coat that I do not plan on taking off anytime soon. The earth tone colored plaid is neutral therefore very wearable and the belt at the waist is removable also giving this coat some versatility. I decided to pair it with a black wool skirt (which is now on sale) and my over-the-knee boots. You can shop this look and similar below.
Shorts:Rag&Bone|Boots:Joie|Vest:Alice&Olivia (older)|Fedora:Rag&Bone (similar here)
Today's look is all about layering neutral pieces for a luxe look. Layering different textures of clothing is fun and chic. It allows you to wear your clothing more and more and can bring a whole new vibe to your look. Today I added sheer hosiery and a felt fedora to my favorite suede shorts and oversized faux fur vest…making this outfit very wearable for the current weather. Shop this look below:
Blazer:Exclusive for Intermix (similar here)|Skirt:BB Dakota(not yet available online)|Boots:Joie|Bag:Fendi
Set the tone with dramatic hardware and modern details. Military-inspired pieces make a statement. Today’s ‘Alexander Military Blazer’ was an exclusive piece for Intermix, and unfortunately is sold out…but don’t worry you can still easily get this look! I have included a few other shoppable military-like pieces below that I love.
Instead of pairing my blazer with jeans or trousers, I went with a new pleated tulle mini skirt. There is something about the tailored jacket and bouncy skirt together that just works.
Skirt:Alice&Olivia|Coat:Maje|Boots:Joie (sold out)|Clutch:Edie Parker
Yesterday I got lucky enough to shoot a bunch of great new looks before the cold weather struck again (hence today’s mini skirt). A floral print helps to brighten up our current stuck in winter minds…so why not. I paired this mini with a classic black turtleneck and oversized blue wool-blend coat. It has a wrap-like silhouette and belt, which cinches in the waist for a cozy feel.
A cheerful Edie Parker Yes clutch also brings a more springy vibe to this look. This one is no longer available, but I picked out a few other favorites of mine below. I am a little late to the game with my knee-high boots, but I got the best deal on this pair, which I am obsessed with…so you can expect to see them a lot in the next week (oops!!) This look is shoppable below. Thanks for stopping by today!!

Hi Everyone!!
Back on the blog today, I guess we should consider ourselves pretty lucky considering it's just now gotten to the point of freezing out and it's the end of January. Winter is passing quickly and I'm already planning my get away to warmer weather. Looks like maybe sometime in March so I have been shopping lately for those swim suits and warmer weather clothing which has started appearing in stores and on line.
In the meantime today I'm all black and white, wearing leggings a turtleneck, my Stuart Weitzman boots and this black and white grid coat from BB Dakota, which is lighter weight and will carry me well into the spring. I fell in love with this black cap from Stella McCartney and I just want to wear it all the time. It is just so chic.
I want to thank everyone for following along with me, I hope you are enjoying my looks and finding inspiration. If there is anything you would like to see or if you have any suggestions, I welcome your feedback.
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!!

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:
Sweater:Vince|Boots:Stuart Weitzman|Beanie:Autumn Cashmere (currently not available online)
I am unsure why it is soo hard to find a nice oversized black sweater…but it is. This one by Vince is a bit of a splurge, but it will take you through fall and winter with ease. It is incredibly soft and can look chic from day to night.
It may have been really nice out these last few days, but winter aka beanie weather is around the corner and all of the cute ones always sell out fast. This snowflake pompom one is by Autumn Cashmere. They always have super cute sets. Last year I purchased a matching leopard beanie, scarf, and glove set which is still one of my favorites from them. Unfortunately, this snowflake one is currently not available online but I will keep checking in and keep you posted. Below, I rounded up pieces from this look and some of my favorite winter beanies this season. Keep in mind that cold weather accessories can make awesome holiday gifts!!
Dress:BB Dakota|Vest:BCBG|Boots:Stuart Weitzman
One of my favorite things about the line BB Dakota is that they allow you to have fun with their pieces and style them in your own way. I own a few of their shirt-dresses and they are seriously the best. They usually come with a button-in lining so you have so many options. You may decide to wear it as a dress, an oversized shirt, or even unbutton it and wear as a longer layering piece.
Today’s look is all about the shirt-dress. I decided to give my stripes a little bit of sas with a beaded flower choker and my favorite over-the-knee boots…and does this leather vest look familiar to you?! If it does, that’s because it is the BCBG wrap dress you may have seen me in recently…another great versatile item. Below I have rounded up a few of my favorite shirt-dresses right now along with similar chokers.
Thanks for stopping by & happy Shopping! XOXO
Tee:H&M|Coat:J.O.A.|Denim:Joe's Jeans|Boots:Stuart Weitzman
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:

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:
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!
Sweater: Banana Republic (Similar)/ Blouse: Vince/ Boots: Sergio Rossi
I usually wear my silver David Yurman pieces everyday…but I am really trying to broaden my horizons this year with jewelry!! I bought this feather necklace and chunky silver ring at a nearby store called Circles Boutique and I just love the different style (more on the trendy side) these pieces bring to the outfit. I recently even purchased some gold jewelry which is soo unlike me!! Todays outfit is pretty casual..with a mock-necked cropped pullover, denim, and my Sergio Rossi over-the-knee boots which seem to be making an appearance quite often these days! I am just a huge fan of high boots and love how this pair has a back slit, which enables the cuff to be folded down.
Sweater: J.Crew/Pants: J.Crew/ Boots: Sergio Rossi/ Clutch: YSL
Showing my stripes in this tee-shirt alternative sweater. This is a great top either to wear by itself or to use as a layering piece. Being that the sleeves are a little longer and the fabric is hefty and warm, I have chosen to wear it by itself today with a pair of leggings and over-the-knee boots. This outfit can be worn straight through the day and into the evening.
