Have you ever seen something on a commercial, in an ad or on someone and became obsessed with finding it? I have no shame asking someone on the street or the train where they got something, and searching for it until I track it down! Just call me a ‘stealthy shopper’. A few months ago […] Read More »
My style: Sway Chic (Neon yellow cutout blouse & Kabuki necklace + Kenneth Cole Palazzo pants + Bottega Veneta sandals)
I’m always on the lookout for what’s haute in fashion, whether it’s on the runway or in a local boutique, so I was excited when I recently discovered Sway Chic, a haute online boutique with a mix of modern-vintage and California chic styles. They’ve owned and operated several boutiques across California since 2003, but recently […] Read More »
My style: Birthday spots (Torn by Ronny Kobo tie-dye maxi dress + Leopard print wedges + Marc by Marc Jacobs bag)
So, these photos weren’t taken on my birthday, which is today, but rather on Sunday when my husband surprised me with a birthday picnic in Central Park! Secretly I had a feeling that’s what he was planning – I had no clues but we’ve been together for so long that we know each other and […] Read More »
My Style: Florals in Old Town (D&G floral blouse + Lush blazer + Seven7 jeans + BCBG studded pumps)
When I visited San Diego in May, I happened to be there on Cinco de Mayo so the celebrations were insane! We went out to an area called Old Town, a colorful historic park/neighborhood filled with Mexican restaurants, souvenir shops and live salsa performances. We loved it so much we went back the next day […] Read More »
My style: Sheer + Stingray (Topshop drape front blouse + Hudson Jeans Nico Foil coated denim)
Last month I visited the Hudson Jeans showroom to see their Spring/Summer styles and preview their Fall collection. I love Hudson denim because it fits and flatters my curves, plus they’ve got a great mix of trendy and classic styles. I was gifted a pair of these Hudson Jeans Nico Foil Stingray Printed Mid Rise […] Read More »

My style: Pops of pink (J. Crew striped popover blouse + Hudson jeans + Celine Leather Luggage Tote in neon pink)
I try to avoid impulse shopping by going into a store already knowing what I want/need to buy, or waiting a few days to decide if I truly want/need it. And when I can’t stop obsessing over something in my head, it becomes a must-have. Such was the case with this striped J. Crew shirt […] Read More »
My Style: Lucky Zigzags (Missoni for Target cardigan + Seven7 jeans + Ore 10 bag)
After hearing all of the Missoni for Target online ordering horror stories and tons of tales of canceled orders, I guess I can consider myself lucky. I snagged some items from the pop-up shop in NYC on Fashion’s Night Out, plus I managed to order some more stuff when the website wasn’t crashing. This cardigan […] Read More »
My Style: Jill Scott at Jones Beach (Victoria’s Secret floral sweetheart dress + MRKT cork sandals + Beirn bag)
I received a surprise anniversary gift from my hubby – tickets to see Jill Scott in concert! She’s been my favorite female artist ever since she came out with her first album (and I’m not biased just because she’s a Philly girl like me) – she’s one super talented singer and any chance I can […] Read More »
My Style: Brights and Whites (Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent top + James Jeans)
I have a favorite, secret TJ Maxx store that has THE BEST designer stuff. I’m talking Pucci wallets, Katherine Kwei knot clutch bags, Prada pumps and Fendi bags. These are the just some of the things I’ve bought/seen there. And this Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent batwing-style tunic top. It was between this and an […] Read More »
My Style: (Black tank + Blue Zara pants + Jeffrey Campbell zebra sandals)
Animal print never gets old with me. The past few seasons have been all about leopard print but I still held tight to my zebra print Jeffrey Campbell shoes. The truth is, they never go out of style. Punctuated by an electric blue snake print heel and trim, these shoes are super haute and super […] Read More »
My Style: (Covet top + H&M coated jeans + French Connection bead necklace)
I’m typically a matchy-matchy kinda girl – I pick a color scheme and stick with it. But for some reason I was drawn to pairing this chunky pastel beaded necklace with a taupe top. And I like to think it worked. The top is from Canadian label Covet, and is actually made out of soybean. […] Read More »
My Style: How to Make a Statement (Necklace)
Lucky Magazine challenged a group of its Alpha Shoppers, including me, to create a piece of statement jewelry using materials found at Michaels. As a former jewelry and handbag designer, and all-around crafty person, I was up for the task. The real challenge was limiting myself to creating only one statement piece! With my $50 […] Read More »
My Style: Philly-bound (Kensie Denim jacket + Vince jeans + Jessica Kagan Cushman clutch)
The perfect day = perfect weather, the perfectly distressed denim jacket, perfect fit pants and the perfect bag. Wouldn’t you agree? We took a road trip to Philly for the day and the weather was sunny and gorgeous, but still cool enough to wear a light jacket. I love distressed denim, especially when you can […] Read More »
My Style: A Change of Pace (one7six striped top + INC pants + American Apparel medium leather pouch)
Everyone who knows me knows that I love large handbags. I love to look at cute clutches but they just can’t fit all of my stuff. So when I saw tons of my favorite fashion & style bloggers carrying this American Apparel pouch, I was jealous because I loved the look of it but just […] Read More »
My Style: Bohemian BBQ (H&M sheer tunic top + 7 For All Mankind flared jeans + Ben-Amun necklace)
A friend of mine and her husband recently adopted a little boy from India so they threw him a ‘welcome home’ party/BBQ this weekend. I wanted to wear something casual and comfortable, AND kid-friendly. Not sure if this look really qualifies but I got these new jeans this week and just wanted to LIVE in […] Read More »
My Style: Mother’s Day weekend (Magenta Sharkbite tunic top + Zara white jeans + See by Chloe bag)
Hope you all had a fab Mother’s Day! Had a great weekend with my mom and sister. We spent the Saturday shopping. Then on Mother’s Day we took our mom to a brunch at the Brooklyn Museum plus a guided tour of the Egyptian exhibit. She loved it. It was pretty much perfect weather in […] Read More »
My Style: Cotton Candy (Zara blazer + Express boyfriend jeans + Louis Vuitton bag)
It’s funny how outfits come together. When I bought this orange blazer from Zara, I immediately pictured it with leopard wedges and toned down everything else. Then I came across this pink Lanvin for H&M scarf in my closet that I’d forgotten about. I love the look and texture – it’s like cotton candy. Then the […] Read More »
