Converse Casual

Converse Casual

It’s always nice to give your feet a rest, and for this, I love Converse. It’s a pair of shoes that almost everyone owns, making this look easy to recreate on your own. I paired my Converse sneakers with a chunky feminine cardigan,  because per usual, I love mixing masculine and feminine and also sporty and dressy styles together. Lets take a look..   Cardigan: old, similar | Denim: Guess, similar | Shoes: Converse | Tank: Splendid  Adding classic feminine accessories to a sporty outfit is everything. I love this look so much because it incorporates both the timeless styles…

Holiday Gift Guide: Boyfriend

Hi All! I though it would be a great idea to share with you some of the things I’ve bought for my boyfriend over the years. As the time goes on I have a harder time picking out gifts for someone who’s response is always “I don’t need anything” or “you’re my gift” I mean, doesn’t he know I HAVE to buy him a gift? Ugh. I’m sure some of you get where I’m coming from. I digress. Here are some of my top picks for the hard to shop for boyfriend: David Yurman Cross or Star of David Side note: I’ve…

Fashion Friday: Rosie Cheeks & Shoes

Fashion Friday: Rosie Cheeks & Shoes

This Friday I based my outfit’s color scheme off one of my favorite burberry scarves. Shades of wine are a go to in the Fall/Winter, but this scarf happens to have wines, pinks, mauves and purples commingled in the timeless burberry plaid. I picked out a few pieces that were similar in color and added in black as my base (had to, maybe it’s a Westchester thing but black is my life). Anywho, let us take a look..

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,…

Thanksgiving with your Crazy Extended Family, Style: The Survivor

Thanksgiving with your Crazy Extended Family, Style: The Survivor

So I know for a lot of you, Thanksgiving is a long stressful day. You have family you haven’t seen in quite some time telling you how good (or bad) you look, and asking all sorts of questions. You get to see the woman who’s become know as “Crazy Aunt so-and-so” and you also get to meet your “amazing” second cousin once removed’s new multi-millionaire doctor husband. I mean could your Thanksgiving be ANY MORE FUN? Hashtag sarcastic.   Dress: Theory | Shoes: Christian Dior For this look, the survivor, I went with all black. I love this Theory dress, it really…

Fashion Friday: Leather Skirts

Fashion Friday: Leather Skirts

I’ve been looking for a nice leather skirt for the longest time. Fortunately for my bank account and PETA, I haven’t found a perfect one just yet, but I have found a perfect FAUX leather skirt. This week, I paired it with a oversized blouse, trench coat and suede booties. It’s the perfect casual meets dressy look. Blouse: Romeo and Juliet | Skirt: Tinsel | Shoes: Steve Madden | Coat: Guess I love wearing an oversized shirt or sweater with a skirt. It’s so much more comfortable than wearing a tight shirt tucked in. Pairing a flowy feminine blouse with…
