Uniform Lately

Uniform Lately

I attended Catholic school for 10 years of my life where I despised having to wear a uniform. Day in and day out the same outfit, stifling my creativity. Dramatic, I know. Come high school, it turns out that I missed my uniform. It’s so easy to mindlessly throw on the same plaid skirt, yellow shirt and navy vest. Fast forward to today, I think I’ve found some balance. (I’m a Libra and theres nothing I love more than balance.. OK, well maybe Chanel, but still not the point). It makes life much easier when you have a few go-to looks when…

Fashion Friday: Leopard

Fashion Friday: Leopard

For a while leopard was trendy, then I feel as if it when from trendy to trashy (real quick) and NOW I’m obsessed. Sometimes I feel like certain trends need to go through a transformation before they’re really wearable for me personally. (Another great example of this is studs; fast forward and the Rockstud by Valentino is born) Anyway, I’ve been dying to find the perfect pair of leopard pumps. Since I haven’t found them yet, like any logical shopoholic, I did what came naturally to me and I’ve started adding other leopard pieces into my wardrobe. Exhibit A: this…

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…
