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…

Fashion Friday: Monochrome

Fashion Friday: Monochrome

Recently, I’m in love with neutrals, including winter white. Winter white is basically just an off-white color that becomes a pain to match if you don’t shop for these off whites in the same store. Personally it bothers me if one white is more grey, more tan, more beige, and it really just messes with the whole look if you ask me. (I swear I’m not always this neurotic about outfits) If it doesn’t bother you, shop around, be my guest! Let’s take a look.. Coat: H&M | Sweater: Loft | Blouse: Loft | Denim: Loft, similar | Shoes: Vince…

Fashion Friday: Holiday Party Wear

Fashion Friday: Holiday Party Wear

Happy Friday AND Happy Halloween! As the holidays are quickly approaching, I thought it would be great to show a look that you can wear to any party or even out this weekend, if you’re like me and didn’t buy a costume or tickets to a Halloween party in NYC. One of my all time go to looks is wearing boots and a dress. To mix that up a bit and make it a little more trendy and fun, I went with a skirt and a fuzzy sweater instead. Lets take a look.. Sweater: Glamorous | Skirt: Victoria’s Secret (old),…

Stripes & Fall Vibes

Stripes & Fall Vibes

I’m all about this hat trend that is going on right now. Wearing a big floppy wool hat with the right outfit makes all the difference. It also keeps my head warm, and if you don’t know me by now, I’m obsessed with being warm. I can’t stand being cold. So the hat trend is both chic and functional, at least for me. I was also able to work with my amazing photographer, Amandaelle, to get these outstanding shots of my outfit this week. Lets take a look.. Hat: Macy’s | Shirt: Forever 21, similar | Coat: Guess | Denim: Blank…
