Fashion Friday: Wine-ing

Fashion Friday: Wine-ing

Hello and Happy Friday! I love showing a more weekend appropriate outfit on Fridays because that’s when we all have plans and have no idea what to wear. I love wine in a real general sense. The color, drinking wine, whining about anything and everything, wine is definitely a large part of my life. HA. So naturally, when I saw this wine colored skirt I instantly fell in love. Take a look. Top: DVF, similar | Skirt: Forever 21 | Shoes: Stewart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel The sheer sleeves on this blouse paired with the wine colored skirt, really sold…

Casual Wednesdays: Zippers

Casual Wednesdays: Zippers

I love the little details on clothing. One of my favorite ways that designers make something that’s normally rather ordinary into an eye catching piece is when they add zippers. This week I’m going to show you one of my all time favorites. Take a look.    Sweater: old, similar here | Leggings: Zara, similar | Shoes: Michael Kors, similar | Scarf: Nordstrom, similar, similar   As the weather changes I love wearing sweaters and, dare I say, leggings. Ok I said it, but let me explain. I love a good heavy/thick pair of leggings. The ones I’m wearing here are from…

A Casual Step into Fall

A Casual Step into Fall

So I finally decided to give in and accept the fact that fall is quickly approaching. It’s such a hard time of year because I’m freezing in the morning then hot in the afternoon and then cold again at night. For this time of year I love layering with light weight sweaters and blouses, and denim is always a go-to. Take a look. Sweater: H&M, similar | Denim: Koral, similar | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Chloe  First and foremost, I’m obsessed with everything about these slip on sneakers. They’re so fun and comfortable, and they look perfect with almost any…

How to: White after Labor Day

How to: White after Labor Day

If you haven’t already, throw that rule away! You can always wear white after Labor Day. I mean, geeze, it was 90 degrees out when I was taking these pictures, there was NO way I was putting on fall clothes. Honestly, I may even go to the beach this weekend. My rule of thumb is, if I can still wear shorts, I can wear white. And then there’s winter white too. I digress. Now that I’m done with that, lets take a look at this week’s outfit. Blazer: New York and Co., similar, similar | Top: Nordstrom | Shorts: H&M | Shoes:…

Fashion Friday: Oxfords

Fashion Friday: Oxfords

Happy last Friday of the Summer! (Not officially, but basically) So sad, I know. Taking a step forward into fall fashion as NYFW approaches is a lot of fun. Except when it’s still hot out. In all actuality I enjoy fall fashion no matter what the weather, since I’m always cold anyway. Today I pulled out a pair of oxfords from the depths, aka my mother’s closet, and went for a menswear inspired look. Take a look. Denim Blouse: American Eagle | Tank: Vince, similar | Denim Pants: Guess | Shoes: Cole Haan, similar Making this look more masculine for me,…

Lace and Neutrals

Lace and Neutrals

Hi All! For my post today I decided to bring out a feminine lace dress that I’ve been dying to wear. For me, dresses are always harder to style and to really create a look. I mean it’s once piece, what else can you do to pull it together? I thought this hat would look great and give the dress some style. Take a look. Charming Charlie’s, similar | Dress: H&M, similar | Shoes: Stewart Weitzman, similar This is a very feminine look, even for me. But it’s all about having fun and doing different things, right?! This is great for going to lunch or dinner…
