Pearl Embellishments FTW – Shop My 15 Faves

“I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says Here I am! today.” -Iris Apfel  Photos by: Amanda Elle Some of my favorite items this season are the ones with the sewn on pearls. They make even the most basic items interesting. Pearls are so feminine but when added to clothing, you create this instant edge. The iridescent color of pearls, allows them to blend into your look but also make it eye-catching. Pearl embellished items are something you definitely have to try to wear this season. Especially if you’re working on stepping out…

Top 5 Commuter Shoes That Won’t Be Embarrassed To Wear

No matter how much I eat… my shoes still fit!  I’m pleading to you. PLEASE retire your dirty old white sneakers and those moccasin slippers that really shouldn’t be worn outside the house. [side note: I’m guilty too] Why commuter shoes?

Shop Simon: Tips On Styling A Look For $300

Growing up in Westchester it was one of the first places my friends and I were allowed to roam free, unchaperoned, for a few hours. It’s also where, at thirteen years old, I purchased my first Coach bag, all on my own. It’s where I found inspiration to style outfits for work.
