Thanksgiving with your Crazy Extended Family, Style: The Survivor

Thanksgiving with your Crazy Extended Family, Style: The Survivor

So I know for a lot of you, Thanksgiving is a long stressful day. You have family you haven’t seen in quite some time telling you how good (or bad) you look, and asking all sorts of questions. You get to see the woman who’s become know as “Crazy Aunt so-and-so” and you also get to meet your “amazing” second cousin once removed’s new multi-millionaire doctor husband. I mean could your Thanksgiving be ANY MORE FUN? Hashtag sarcastic.   Dress: Theory | Shoes: Christian Dior For this look, the survivor, I went with all black. I love this Theory dress, it really…

Fashion Friday: Leather Skirts

Fashion Friday: Leather Skirts

I’ve been looking for a nice leather skirt for the longest time. Fortunately for my bank account and PETA, I haven’t found a perfect one just yet, but I have found a perfect FAUX leather skirt. This week, I paired it with a oversized blouse, trench coat and suede booties. It’s the perfect casual meets dressy look. Blouse: Romeo and Juliet | Skirt: Tinsel | Shoes: Steve Madden | Coat: Guess I love wearing an oversized shirt or sweater with a skirt. It’s so much more comfortable than wearing a tight shirt tucked in. Pairing a flowy feminine blouse with…

Casual Wednesday: Coping with the Weather

The not so fun part about Fall, is always the weather. Is it going to be hot, bitterly cold, raining or snowing? The answer: Who knows?! Certainly, sometimes I don’t think Mother Nature even knows what it’s doing. Today, I’ve dedicated this post’s style to rain boots! Let’s take a look.. Top: Splendid | Vest: Athleta, similar | Denim: Seven for all Mankind, similar | Rain Boots: Stuart Weitzman | Hat: Burberry  I’m so happy that in recent years, rain boots have become a lot more fashionable, with designers adding new prints and styles by just getting inventive with rubber/plastic.…

Thanksgiving at Someone Else’s Home, Style: The Guest

I don’t know about you, but when I eat during Thanksgiving, I don’t stop. It’s the most disgusting day of the year food wise, as I always eat until I’m about to pop. So with the next outfit I chose, I took that into consideration. I went with a oversized sweater and a skirt that sits above my stomach (Haha), lets take a look.. Sweater: Guess | Skirt: Alythea | Booties: Tory Burch, similar This outfit is so easy to throw on for dinner with your family. It’s important to look nice but to also be comfortable, especially if you’re…

Fashion Friday: Holiday Party Wear

Fashion Friday: Holiday Party Wear

Happy Friday AND Happy Halloween! As the holidays are quickly approaching, I thought it would be great to show a look that you can wear to any party or even out this weekend, if you’re like me and didn’t buy a costume or tickets to a Halloween party in NYC. One of my all time go to looks is wearing boots and a dress. To mix that up a bit and make it a little more trendy and fun, I went with a skirt and a fuzzy sweater instead. Lets take a look.. Sweater: Glamorous | Skirt: Victoria’s Secret (old),…

Fashion Friday: So New York

Fashion Friday: So New York

This outfit reminds me of the Power Women I always see running around New York City. They’re in their high, high heels and they’re running around on a mission. It’s also happens to be the perfect look for a casual Friday in the office. Let’s check it out.. Blazer: Forever 21, similar | Blouse: H&M | Denim: AG | Shoes: Vince Camuto, similar | Bag: Chanel | Belt: Hermes I’m so addicted to blazers, I can’t stop buying them. Grey is definitely a have-to-have color this season, and I loved that this blazer wasn’t structured like the blazers I usually…
