Night Light

This small patent leather fluorescent yellow wallet, is much like a night light. It’s very small, yet it packs a punch and will certainly brighten up a dark outfit. In the winter I go for the most dreary dark muted looks, so it was nice to have this bright pop of color. Lets take a look.. Cardigan: Forever 21 | Blouse: H&M, similar | Skirt: Alythea | Tights: DKNY | Booties: Pour La Victiore | Wallet: Marc by Marc Jacobs, similar What I really love about this outfit is that it can easily be transitioned from work wear…

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…

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

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…

Sweater Weather

Chunky sweaters over sweaters are perfect for optimal warmth (aka my favorite thing ever). I’d say about half the time, even if you have the most gorgeous coat on, it destroys the out outfit. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, it doesn’t destroy the outfit, but it hides it. And I dislike when that happens (I mean don’t we all?). So my point, sweaters keep you from having to wear a coat, probably until around December, which is great! Lets take a look at this weeks outfit.. Quarter Sleeve Sweater: Guess | Cowl Neck Sweater: Forever 21 | Leggings: Timing |…

Fashion Friday: Trench Coat

Happy Friday! I’m so excited to share this outfit with you, it’s definitely a favorite to date. Trench coats are perfect for fall. It’s an easy way to be comfortable as the weather changes and to keep a tailored look. Tank: Gap, similar | Pants: H&M | Trench Coat: Express, similar This outfit is so simple yet sophisticated. I don’t have rail thin legs, as you can see (sometimes I wish I did), so most striped pants make me look hippy and short. These are the perfect pant if you’re having trouble finding a stripped pant that you feel comfortable in. The…
