I seriously do not feel I have a specific style genre I wear all of the time, I think I hop around and try different styles pretty often and one of the easiest colors to try a new style in would be grey or black so here I am going to share with you two looks I wore recently that were super girly and the other is more of a punk glam look. Enjoy!
Flirty and Girly
So I have been receiving so many questions and compliments on this dress over the past month, yes it is a dress not a skirt and top. This layered-look is so adorable with a ¾ length sleeve knit top half and attached tulle skirt. I decided to create an all grey look with faux suede heels, sparkling burst earrings and a shimmering silver clutch. This is such a fun evening look and sort of made me feel like a fairy godmother – lol
Punk Glam
So this look is one of my FAVORITES! I am wearing a Ramones graphic print T-shirt dress, faux suede OTK boots, and a knee length cape. But the real finishing touch to this look is the dark lip. Something about wearing a dark lip to your look adds such edge! With the black palette and over-the-top cape this look is so cool and even dressy!
So as you can see it’s easy to rock any look you put your mind to, and it’s easy to try out new trends and styles when starting with a neutral black or grey palette.
For NY street style I went with red, black and white this season. These two looks were my favorite for comfort and style and the pieces are seriously so transitional! You can create so many looks with these staple pieces!
Look 1 is white leather booties, ripped jeans in a light wash, and a bright red sweater. For accessories I added tights, a knit beret, red lipstick, and a leopard skinny belt. These pieces combine to make a fierce look ready to take on the city.
Look 2 is a completely black and white look constructed of this off the shoulder sweater, fleece lined faux leather pants, black and white booties from ASOS, a faux croco bag, and knit beret. The mix of textures and the contrast of black and white make this look really pop!
For the 4th day of NYFW I attended the Ennyluap show, the Nolcha 4pm showcase and the Negris Lebrum show. With a full day ahead, I wanted a fab look that would transition me from morning to night as there wouldn’t be a break for me to change looks.
I chose fleece lined faux leather pants, a crest printed button front top, double breasted peacoat, faux fur wrap, and red sock booties. The color accents I was going for was red and dark green. These colors were brought out with my handbag, lipstick, shawl and sock booties.
I think out of all of my looks for fashion week, this was by far my favorite! I was able to stay warm in the elements without a lot of added bulk and the mix of textures just looks so chic!
A very special thank you to THB Marketing House and The Riviere Agency for my Sunday NYFW schedule! I’ll be posting a recap of the shows I attended soon, so stay tuned! <3
Another one of my NYFW picks was this colorfully casual mini skirt and chunky sweater combo!
I wore this ensemble out to dinner, and loved how easy and comfortable it was to walk in these heeled booties, and the chunky sweater was flattering and perfect to hide a tummy full of NYC pizza! haha
This embroidered mini skirt was actually a Zara find! I was able to purchase it on sale for less than 20 dollars – I know, such a steal!! Since I love it so much, I was able to find ya’ll a similar version and have linked it here. My off the shoulder sweater is from Tobi and is in a warm olive shade, but they also offer it in a few other colors. Right now it is just over $30 so I recommend picking one up while its on promo! The sweater is constructed of a heavy knit, perfect for winter and offers a relaxed fit. I tucked the front of it into my skirt to bring a bit more shape to the look.
For accessories I went with white Steve Madden Editor booties, floral earrings from Sugarfix, and clutch from Sam Edelman.
For a fun day out in NYC; eating at some of the funnest dessert places like Rice to Riches, and Beard Papas along with walking the Brooklyn Bridge I wanted to wear a classic black and white ensemble with a touch of edge – it was Fashion Week after all! So this is the OOTD I came up with.
This white cozy sweater and chunky heeled boots are both from Express. I scored them during a 50% off sale and absolutely love both of these purchases. My skirt is from Tobi and is made of a faux suede material and features a snap front with brass tone stud accents. Tobi runs special promos all of the time so be sure to check out their site for some amazing deals! For an added touch of texture, I decided to wear black pantyhose with black fishnets over top. This creates such a unique look! For accessories, I have my favorite black sunnies, a knit beret, these super fun black and white floral drop earrings, and for a pop of color this beautiful tassel clutch from Stella and Dot.
I’ve noticed that monthly I get hooked on a certain color and in January it was this rusty red shade. Because of that I wanted to create a quick lookbook to show you some of my favorite pieces in this color and the outfits I created with it.
First has to be this amazing corduroy romper from Boohoo! It is actually offered in a few other colors which I love and sort of want to order as well, but I started off with this color. To create the look I styled, all you need to add is a turtleneck top, OTK boots, sunnies and for fun, a beret!
Next is this little shorty from H&M. The print is what really drew me to this dress. It is just so fun and the material is great! The dress is constructed of a thick stretch material, perfect to keep away wrinkles and provide a flattering fit! So I dressed up this look with heels, my favorite Quay sunnies, and, depending of the temps, this dress can be transitioned by adding a long tan coat and fuzzy blanket scarf.
Some of the cutest finds currently available at Romwe! Check them out for the best current fashion trends at the most affordable prices!
Also, if you are looking for the top I am wearing, I have linked it here, and its only $8!! Enjoy and happy shopping!
I have been wearing so much blush this winter, so I thought I would round up some of my favorites to share with you!
From casual to dressy, blush and light shades of pink can easily be dressed up or down depending on the material or accessory. Here I’m sharing my favorite sweater, dress, and faux fur shawl all in this stunning shade! I’ll show you how I complement blush with prints, textures and other colors to create the perfect look.
Evening
Velvet, faux fur, fringe and floral prints! Yes, that might sound like a lot to have going on it one look, but trust me it works! This drop waist velvet dress from Charming Charlie is absolutely perfect! It is comprised of a lightweight burnout velvet and is fully lined. Since it is a bit chilly I decided to add this luxe faux fur shawl to the ensemble to keep my shoulders warm. It really brings out the floral design and complements the color palette. I paired this with burgundy exaggerated fringe earrings from Baublebar, and olive faux suede stilettos from Urban OG.
Dressy Monochrome
My fave! So this blush metallic beauty is from Express and was actually my New Years Eve pick! The dress is a mini and features defined shoulder pads and a cut out back. I added my shawl to this look as well for a bit of texture and warmth, but decided to add a pop of color with my accessories!
I wanted to add a darker color, so I went with emerald green. Both my clutch and earrings are from Stella & Dot. I love the fringe design and sparkling accents. Everything comes together so well to create a polished look!
Casual
So this blush sweater was one of my favorite Nordstrom sale finds! I have enjoyed wearing it so much this season as it is super soft and so easy to layer. For this look I have paired it with a periwinkle bralette and dark wash denim from Factory Fashion. This is a super effortless look, and is perfect for the weekend.
Blush is such a transitional shade and can easily be paired with so much! I am one to generally purchase staple colors as getting ready in the morning is so much faster, but have noticed lately blush has become one of my staples! It is just such a great color can can really go with anything!
I was recently invited to visit my local Crossroads Trading, to experience what all it had to offer. I love the idea of thrifting, but haven’t been to a location quite like this before!
Everything is that “one amazing treasure hunt item” you hope to find, and you are sure to leave there with something special!
First things first, you can sell your gently used, current season items for cash or store credit! While the sales associates are appraising your items, its time to shop! While browsing I came across items from Manolo Blahnik, Salvatore Ferragamo, Halston, Kate Spade, and Burberry! Those are some serious labels people!!!!
I tried on a Burberry dress, which was priced at $85 and a beautiful tan long coat from a Los Angeles brand, DRA for only $37.50, still with the original tags! The dressing rooms are super roomy with great lighting and plenty of space and mirrors.
H&M dress $12.50
Elaine Turner dress: $32.50
My next score was a mini Longchamp bag in Navy…can you believe it was under $40!? You cannot beat that price.
The store is categorized my clothing type, accessories and there is even a men’s section! I was very much impressed with the cleanliness as well as the breadth of assortment. And most shockingly, the labels! Every item I sifted through the rack was a recognizable label. And to see those price tags…it will bring a smile to your face! Everything is so reasonable- not to mention, all items are very gently used, if not brand new! I can’t remember when I have had that much fun shopping!?
So if you have a Crossroads Trading near you, stop in and check it out! Better yet, purge your closet for the new year by taking in those items you aren’t wearing anymore and trade them in for something designer! You seriously don’t know what amazing product you might find! For locations click here!
One of my absolute favorite accessories to wear in the winter time is a beret! I know, they aren’t exactly the most practical, but this tiny hat sure packs a major style punch! I’m sharing one of my favorite winter ensembles with you that is made perfect with the finishing touch of a beret! In chic maroon with plaid I’ll show you how to pair this accessory seamlessly.
If you are new to the beret, and don’t want to fully commit to the style, or are not sure if its the look for you, I suggest trying a slouchy- less structured version of the beret, like this chunky knit one. It sits more relaxed on the head and requires little to no adjustments.
This look is so cute, and so much fun to wear! I love mixing textures, so here I am wearing a ribbed knit mock turtleneck from Boohoo, a wool cream and tan plaid skirt from White House Black Market, and Over-the-Knee faux suede boots from Steve Madden. The mix of colors, textures and subtle print come together to create such an effortlessly interesting ensemble! For accessories, I kept the look to a minimum with my signature Coach Dinky, and “H” initial necklace from Elizabeth Buena Ventura. The soft chunky knit beret adds the perfect finishing touch to this winter-ready look, and ties in with the color of my boots. Now all you are missing is a plate of macaroons and the Eiffel Tower in the background!
