Standout Stripes and Why I Love Them!

Standout Stripes and Why I Love Them!

PSA: I smile in real life, but not usually for blog pictures, so here’s a candid… TOP: NEW LOOK, SIMILAR | DENIM: AG | SHOES: IVANKA TRUMP | BAG: CHANEL, SIMILAR | SUNGLASSES: SHOP DITTO (use my coupon code SIMPLYBYSIMONE for your first rented pair free!)  Stripes always stand out, (hence the name of today’s post, standout stripes !) they’re always the first thing I notice within an outfit I like. Whether they’re neutral, vibrant, thin, thick, vertical or horizontal, we can all add more stripes to our lives. They’re an easy way to make a somewhat boring or average outfit…

One More Addiction

One More Addiction

I’m newly obsessed with coats. Living in New York and being someone who’s always freezing, coats have become a natural addition for me. And if something going to cover my entire outfit, it better make a statement. Let’s take a look at one of my new favorites.. Coat: 1 by O’2nd | Sweater: H&M | Pants: H&M | Shoes: Ivanka Trump This coat’s boyish charm and color combo totally caught my eye. Not to mention the fur trim. I will live in this look for the rest of the fall/winter. There’s nothing better than a cozy sweater, denim, heels or…

If you’re cranky & you know it..

If you’re cranky & you know it..

If you’re cranky and you know it.. DON’T WEAR PANTS. Yes, I totally said that. But for some reason it’s so true, at least for me, I cannot be cranky when I’m wearing a dress or skirt. I always feel so pretty and girly and big girls don’t cry, duh. Or I may just dress for my emotions too much and I’m more cranky than not, so that’s why I love wearing pants. OK, I’ll end this now before it gets anymore delusional and confusing. Check out this look.. Jacket: H&M | Sweater: French Connection | Skirt: All Saints | Shoes: Ivanka…

Plaid gets me so excited for Fall. I take out my old plaid shirts purchase a few new ones and I wear them over and over and over. What’s more perfect that a vast array of plaid-ness?! Nothing, duh. So today, I’m showcasing a classic fall look. Check it out.. Jacket: All Saints | Top: Rails | Denim: Vince | Shoes: Pour La Victorie | Bag: Celine (still dying over it BTW) P H O T O G R A P H Y: Amanda Elle I love a comfortable, casual outfit that I can wear with heels. The plaid shirt…

So Vivid

So Vivid

I never thought I cold love a floral print more that I love it on this dress. It’s a color combo that sounds strange, I’m basically wearing a black and color floral print. I’ve been in a monochrome mood lately so this dress was a good transition that added color to my life. Take a look..   Dress: Mixology | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel | Watch: Michele I love that the flowers look painted onto the dress. It’s also nice that it has so much movement. Sometimes it’s great to have a flowy dress, am I right or…

Crop it Out x Helmut Lang

Crop it Out x Helmut Lang

New fave: cropped jackets. They’re the perfect Summer staple, especially on cool nights. I came across this edgy Helmut Lang jacket that I’ll definitely be wearing into fall. Let’s take a look.. Jacket & Tee: Helmut Lang | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel I’m a huge online shopper so I had to have this ridiculously expensive tee shirt because it looked so perfect (and comfortable) with the jacket. Totally unnecessary, I was actually able to purchase a similar tee from H&M (shopping confessions). The jacket was 100% worth it. I love that it’s mostly white…
