Fainting because FALL

Fainting because FALL

So maybe fainting is quite dramatic, but you all know me so you know that I’m being sooooo ridiculous over dealing with the fact that Summer is over. But like any Simone would do, I made the best of it by coming up with the chicest pre-fall look I could think of (and from what I had in my closet). Lets take a look.. Top: C/Meo | Skirt: SheIn | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Earrings: Mirina Collection To start off fall I went with some heavier (material wise) items in my closet. I loved this red midi skirt when I…

Channel Your Inner Jackie O

Channel Your Inner Jackie O

Subconsciously I often channel Jackie O. An obvious style Icon, Jackie Kennedy Onassis always looked effortlessly put together. I personally love how she could always look sexy while showing minimal skin. When I wear pearls and round sunglasses, I always find myself thinking of her classic style. This week, without directly working from her inspiration, I found myself in a look that reminded me of her. Lets take a look.. Trench Vest: H&M | Blouse: DVF | Skirt: Alythea c/o Bloomingdales | Shoes: Vince Camuto | Bag: Clare V  Wear this to brunch, lunch, dinner a roof top bar – you’ll be…

Fashion Friday: Into the Night

Fashion Friday: Into the Night

No, I mean literally into the night. Since Summer has ended, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to take pictures after work. So these are a little dark, but I still love them. I chose a look I would definitely wear out at night. Lets take a look. Blouse: Reiss | Pants: Paige, similar | Shoes: Gucci | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff I love these pants, they’re something I see myself in all fall/winter. I paired them with a blouse which happens to be grey and light pink, so I thought these new Gucci shoes (that I bought myself for my birthday) went…

Designer Jewelry Exposed

Designer Jewelry Exposed

Some of my favorite pieces of jewelry are made by designers that don’t specialize in jewelry and create pieces with far from fine components. Now that you know and understand a little more about fine jewelry, (if you don’t know what I’m talking about check out these posts, here and here) I’m going to talk about designer jewelry. Fortunately or unfortunately, designer and fine are not interchangeable terms. What do I mean? Lets take a better look.. Hermes bangle One of my VERY favorites is the hermes bangle. First off, if these were solid, genuine 24k gold, you could bet…

The World is your Oyster

The World is your Oyster

I mean, of course the world is your oyster (duh). But that’s not exactly what this post is about. This Wednesday, I’m going to give you some insight on Pearls. Natural, Cultured and my favorite, Mother of Pearl.. Natural pearls are formed in an oyster’s stomach, when an external irritant, (usually a grain of sand) finds its way inside the shell. Cultured pearls are produced the same way as natural pearls however a pearl farmer would open the shell of the oyster, to insert an irritant such as a grain of sand.  Rolex Day-Date | Inside an Oyster shell Mother of Pearl it’s…
