Banana Republic x Olivia Palermo NYFW Collection

Banana Republic x Olivia Palermo NYFW Collection

In true spirit of see now, buy now, the Banana Republic x Olivia Palermo collaboration is that much more exciting. I find that most collections are only as strong and it’s hero piece, and that red coat just blows me away! Military inspired jackets and beautiful feminine flowy tops make the collection unforgettable. The mix of edgy and feminine is perfect. If you’re looking for items to spruce up your Fall wardrobe, Banana Republic is the right place. The cuts of the pieces are relatively true to BR’s regular fits and items are offered in regular and petite. Palermo truly…

Taoray Wang SS18 NYFW Runway

Taoray Wang SS18 NYFW Runway

Taoray Wang SS18 Wang Tao is know as “queen of the suit” and I couldn’t agree more. Of everything presented in the runway collection, I couldn’t keep my eyes off the suits. The work wear inspiration was apparent in many of the pieces. I love the shoulders, pinstripes and my favorite? The blazer dress paired with the pleated waistband! The waistband was shown on a few pieces and what a statement it made on a seemingly basic items. Something I’m going to try styling myself is a long blouse under a skirt. It’s a great way to add depth to…

Dealing With A Bad Day – When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left

Dealing With A Bad Day – When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left

It’s not a bad life, just a bad day.  Happy Friday! I was basically on the brink of a nervous breakdown every day this week. So I thought it would be great to talk about how to deal with a bad day.

Girl Power – Why It’s Not Only About Girls

Girl Power Tee c/o Emax Tees I never felt that because I was a girl, there were certain things I shouldn’t do. When I was five years old I took down part of the child gate in my kitchen with a screwdriver after watching my dad take down the other one. He didn’t say, girls don’t do that. In fact I think he was so impressed he encouraged me to take the entire thing off! HA! Or how about “only men take out the garbage?” When I worked at CVS when I was sixteen, I had to take out the…

Seamless Packing Advice from a Seasoned Weekender

Seamless Packing Advice from a Seasoned Weekender

Are you an over packer? Or do you under pack? Do you find that you’re missing things you actually need when you arrive at your destination? Incorrectly pack no more, because I’m sharing seamless packing advice today! Weekend getaways in the Summer are like lemons to lemonade. If you have a free weekend you just got to go somewhere [at least once] while the weather is nice. I’m so fortunate that my boyfriend’s family has a Summer house on the North Fork of Long Island. It’s one of my favorite places to go. And although there’s plenty of fun things…
