Punk Floral

Dress:JCrew(Older, also love this one)|Pumps:Christian Louboutin (sold out)

Spring & summer for me…means great and easy dresses! I love this “punk floral” dress I have had from JCrew for about a year now. It is a tailored and easy straight silhouette with a chic cutaway back. The silk green fabric is so vibrant and the floral print adds a pretty touch for the nice weather. You can really pair a lot of different shoes with this… from pumps to sandals and all different colors. A perfect dress to make a dramatic entrance and exit. 

Live Colorfully

Skirt:Alice & Olivia| Graphic Tee:Kate Spade (older, also love this one)

Good afternoon everyone and happy Tuesday,
Well I had a photo shoot yesterday and it was so windy it was ridiculous but all in all I got some really cute pics. I couldn’t decide which ones to post!! Feeling very Sarah Jessica Parker today in this Alice and Olivia skirt and we had so much fun shooting it. The wind was blowing it all over the place and all we did was laugh… got a lot of quirky shots but I think it gives them character. I had this Kate Spade live colorfully shirt and I love pairing graphic tees with skirts so I thought this one would be fun...(side note: Kate Spade has the best graphic tee’s) I very often will wear boots in the summer and my pink Christian Louboutin’s worked really well with this outfit also. Just adorable… I loved wearing it so much I didn’t want to take it off.  To the new friends I met yesterday…I hope you enjoy my closet and thank you for following along!!

COOL

Tee:JCrew|Jacket:Santa Fe Apparel|Jeans:Joe's Jeans|Espadrilles:Tory Burch|Clutch:Lanvin (sold out)

Looking forward to the weekend and relaxing with the warm weather finally arriving…my favorite time of year.  I was in the city yesterday for a busy day and was to attend an event last evening but unfortunately my family has been dealing with the rapid failure of my grandfather so things have been a little up and down for us and I had to return home and was unable to attend. My sincere apologies go out to Kelly and her team. On a more positive note…TGIF! Today is all about styling this lightweight chambray jacket from Santa Fe Apparel. The brand does an amazing job at creating garments for the trend-savvy consumer. I paired it with white denim, an easy striped tee and chic leather espadrilles. I love the woven navy trim on them!! The navy picks up the color from the large clutch, which is so COOL. The multi-colored letters add a touch of fun to the look. 

Wear & When

Jeans:Girl Cave Boutique|Sweatshirt:Banana Republic|

Good morning everyone,

Up bright and early this morning and headed into the city for some hair touch up, a little shopping and an event this evening. In the meantime todays post is the second piece from my collaboration with Girl Cave Boutique.  These jeans are lightweight and high waisted…very comfortable and distressed at the knee. I have chosen to pair them with a great sweatshirt from Banana Republic and a pair of shoes I have had for a while now from Dusica and Dusica. 

Lace Maxi

Lace Maxi Skirt: Alice and Olivia| Lace Crop Top: Alice and Olivia

Hi everyone!!! I just got back from the Bahamas yesterday and I had a great time!! The weather was beautiful and I met a lot of new friends! Now it is back to reality. Next week I will be posting all of my vacation looks, but this is one from my last shoot. As you know…I am obsessed with Alice & Olivia and this is one of my favorite looks. The set has so much sex appeal. The long pencil style skirt has a slit up the back and detailed with a nude lining, while the matching crop top twists at the top with an open back. The zipper runs straight down from the top and eventually opens into the V slit of the skirt. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Princess Maxi

Dress:Rebecca Taylor|Clutch:Chloe|Pumps:Christian Louboutin

I wore this outfit to an event last week and unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures in it.  I am so in love with this dress so I HAD to make sure it went up on the blog. The cut is so feminine with the drop-waist ruffle and sheer fabric. It looks so beautiful when it flows in the wind. It feels like such a princess dress!! The crazy part is I wasn’t wild about it until I tried it on…and I immediately fell in love. Have you ever had the problem where you have an outfit and are running around like a madman last minute searching for shoes for it?? I feel like this would have been one of those outfits if I did not have these mesh Louboutin pumps. They could not have been more of a PERFECT match. For a bag I went with a faded rose-colored Chloé shoulder bag and tucked the straps in to use as a clutch. It looks so nice against the pale pink giving it a bolder color. 

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!!!

New Friends Colony

Featuring New Friends Colony

I am so excited to collaborate with a great new contemporary brand called New Friends Colony and let me tell you…the pieces are AMAZING! Every garment is hand beaded and detailed with beautiful textures and patterns. From embroidered cami’s, dresses, and even swim suit cover up’s…the collection is the epitome of chic. Inspired by global artisan techniques, New Friends Colony allows us to interpret our own individuality and style. I have never really thought about myself having one particular style, but at this point in time if I HAD to say I would go with classic trendy. I turned this adorable blue and orange beaded shift dress a little trendier by layering both a denim and leather coat. I love shift dresses because they are so easy in the spring and summer to throw on with a pair of sandals during the day or dress up with a heel at night…depending on where you are going. The pieces can be purchased on websites such as RevolveClothing.com and Modcloth.com. If I were you I would hurry and make a purchase before they all sell out!! 

Sweatshirt Trench

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.  

Proportions

I have had this knit crop top by Nicholas since early fall and this is the first time I have worn it. I am rather skeptical when it comes to crop tops because nailing the look can be tricky…especially when it comes to how much skin is exposed. I think it is important to play with proportions to keep the look sophisticated. Today’s look combines the embossed top with a pair of high-rise white culottes (also a first for me). Again, proportion is key for this style trouser. Because of the cropped length and wide leg the shorter top helps lengthen my silhouette, while the two-toned Louboutin pumps prevent the pants from taking over the entire outfit. I love what the leopard print in the back adds to this all white look.

Winter Neutrals

As you can see I am a huge fan of neutral pieces. While digging through my closet I came across these floral print Free People pants (a little bit of a tongue twister) I have had for a while now. They are more of a gray tone finished with a cream colored print. I paired them with a neutral knit and suede booties for a casual look in this awful weather....which hopefully will end ASAP. 

Gold Accents

Shot by Emily Cloutier

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.

Skirt: Theory/ Top: Theory/ Boots:Reed Krakoff/ Bag: Balenciaga 

Beach weather and vacation cannot come soon enough. It has been so cold this winter…I just cannot wait until it is over. I am doing my best to get a variety of outfits in even though the weather has been horrible. Todays matching skirt and top is made by Theory. Unfortunately I am not able to show you the sleeve on this cropped pullover…it has long dropped sleeves which give the outfit a very relaxed look. Instead of the matching prosecco colored skirt, I chose the black for a little contrast along with black tights and these low gray Reed Krakoff boots which seem to be a crowd pleaser. You could also choose to wear high boots or even a really nice pump to complement this outfit.
