Combating Masculine Styles

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…

Motivation Monday!

Motivation Monday!

Happy last Motivation Monday of 2014!! Since I’ve finished college in 2013, I swear the years go by faster and faster. The quote I choose today 100% relates to my physical status right now. I literally feel like I’m going to vom and have been off (what I call sick when I don’t want to admit I’m getting sick) all day. I didn’t feel like doing anything today (or even right now) but I push myself to do what I need to do. In order to be successful you need to be willing to always do what you have to…

Casual Wednesday: Mustard Yellow

Casual Wednesday: Mustard Yellow

Wine shades of the world, beware. Mustard yellow is quickly becoming a fall staple that’s here to stay. As much as I love deep red tones in the Fall/Winter, I still find myself searching for other season appropriate colors. I love wearing this muddied yellow color as it’s bright and alive but clearly not something you pulled out of your Summer wardrobe. Let’s take a look.. Cardigan: Aqua, similar | Blouse: Loft | Denim: JBRAND | Booties: Steve Madden | Bag: Chloe, similar I wore this to my cousin’s 6th birthday party last weekend. As I’ve said before with these booties,…

Casual Wednesday: Coping with the Weather

Casual Wednesday: Coping with the Weather

The not so fun part about Fall, is always the weather. Is it going to be hot, bitterly cold, raining or snowing? The answer: Who knows?! Certainly, sometimes I don’t think Mother Nature even knows what it’s doing. Today, I’ve dedicated this post’s style to rain boots! Let’s take a look.. Top: Splendid | Vest: Athleta, similar | Denim: Seven for all Mankind, similar | Rain Boots: Stuart Weitzman | Hat: Burberry  I’m so happy that in recent years, rain boots have become a lot more fashionable, with designers adding new prints and styles by just getting inventive with rubber/plastic.…

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…
