Fashionably Embracing Winter

Fashionably Embracing Winter

Winter is a beautiful time of year, I love looking(italic) at snow. I highly dislike the cold air, actually I can’t stand it. So I have to get creative on how to keep my outfit looking together, while staying as warm as possible. This Friday I went with a sweater dress and a fur vest. Let’s take a look..   Dress: H&M, similar | Vest: old, similar | Boots: Stewart Weitzman | Scarf: Charming Charlie’s | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Warm, warm, warm. Fur vests faux or real are the perfect way to stay warm during the bitterly cold months. I paired my vest…

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…

Fashion Friday: Monochrome

Fashion Friday: Monochrome

Recently, I’m in love with neutrals, including winter white. Winter white is basically just an off-white color that becomes a pain to match if you don’t shop for these off whites in the same store. Personally it bothers me if one white is more grey, more tan, more beige, and it really just messes with the whole look if you ask me. (I swear I’m not always this neurotic about outfits) If it doesn’t bother you, shop around, be my guest! Let’s take a look.. Coat: H&M | Sweater: Loft | Blouse: Loft | Denim: Loft, similar | Shoes: Vince…

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: Floral, leather and the beach

This week I was so lucky to have my good friend Amanda (@amandaelle_photography on Instagram) take pictures of my outfit. It was so much fun wearing heels and taking pictures in a not so heels environment. I loved that the water and sky backdrop complimented the colors in my top and blazer. Take a look..    Blazer: H&M | Top: Forever 21, similar | Denim: Paige | Shoes: Prada, similar | Belt: Hermes, similar To answer your first question, yes I totally wore my Prada shoes in the sand, and honestly I’ll never buy another designer besides Prada again (half…
