Winter Recovery

So after a not so horrendous snow storm (personally any snow for me is rather horrendous), what are you supposed to do? First thing you should do is go to the gym (I’m in a permanent in a carb coma right now), second is to grab your biggest comfiest sweater and dare I say leggings. Fine, I don’t really hate leggings, for goodness sake I’m from Westchester where 99% of the population enjoys leggings as pants. If you can’t beat them.. well you know, just wear the leggings. Anyway, I’ll shut up, lets take a look.. Sweater: ASOS | Scarf: ASOS |…

Braving the Blizzard like a True New Yorker

Hello, hello! This snow bunny is super happy that she got let out of her day job early, so happy that she decided to take some pictures in the snow! I have a love/hate relationship with the snow. A part of me loves that it’s a beautiful act of nature and makes the world look so clean, the other part wishes I was born in a country that boarders the equator so I would never have to ever know that snow even exists. But, as a native New Yorker (I live right outside of NYC in Westchester County), I drove home…

Fashion Friday Blues

Black and blue is a go to for me when I have no idea what to wear, but I have somewhere to go or would rather not look like a bum. A bright blue always pops against black, I love the contrast. Be carful to not wear black and navy blue, that may be black, or is it blue? Those are the worst days ever. OK, babble over, lets take a look at this Fashion Friday’s outfit.. Blazer: NY&Co, similar | Sweater: Forever 21, similar | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel This is such a fun weekend outfit,…

Fashion Friday: Leopard

For a while leopard was trendy, then I feel as if it when from trendy to trashy (real quick) and NOW I’m obsessed. Sometimes I feel like certain trends need to go through a transformation before they’re really wearable for me personally. (Another great example of this is studs; fast forward and the Rockstud by Valentino is born) Anyway, I’ve been dying to find the perfect pair of leopard pumps. Since I haven’t found them yet, like any logical shopoholic, I did what came naturally to me and I’ve started adding other leopard pieces into my wardrobe. Exhibit A: this…

Let’s take a look.. PHOTOGRAPHY BY A M A N D A E L L E Coat: H&M | Sweater: ASOS | Denim: Paige | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Chloe This look is great…

Combating Masculine Styles

I’m an impulsive person when it comes to shopping. Sometimes I just HAVE to have specific items, and these Chanel combat boots were one of them. Never mind how expensive or the fact that I got them before I ever had a pair of Louboutins, I HAD to have them and I’m happy I did. They make any outfit chic and are perfect for the winters in New York. For this look I styled them very casual. Let’s take a look.. Vest: Adrienne Landau | Sweater: Aqua, similar | Denim: Joie, similar | Boots, Bag and Sunglasses: Chanel I love…
