Last year marked a decade of blogging for me! It’s a huge milestone, but the time really flew by without me noticing because I truly love what I do! What’s Haute grew out of my passion for both writing and fashion, and has sustained, in part, due to loyal readers like you, as well as […] Read More »

My style: Neon & leather (Leather moto jacket + Victoria’s Secret pleated maxi dress + Bottega Veneta sandals)
Since I’m an accessory junkie, I tend to dress around my bags and shoes. I picked up this silver bag from Zara recently, and loved it because it reminded me of Proenza Schouler’s PS11 mirrored-leather clutch that I’ve been virtually stalking. The clutch is a little out of my price range for clutches, so this […] Read More »

My style: Before the rain (Blue & green maxi dress + Zara colorblock sandals)
As soon as we went out to take photos, it started to pour! Good thing I was wearing a maxi dress and my hair up in a top knot! I tried to hide under some trees to get a few photos before hopping back in the car to run some weekend errands. A maxi dress […] Read More »
My style: Stripes & stripes (Maggy London Nautical Stripe Maxi Dress + Bottega Veneta sandals + Marc by Marc Jacobs Satchel)
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: 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: Moto Aztec (Wallis print maxi dress + Bagatelle jacket + Jean-Michel Cazabat shoes)
My go-to items when I want to get dressed quickly? Jeans and maxidresses. I’m quick to throw on a pair of jeans on the weekends, and I love a good maxi dress too! A maxidress requires minimal fuss and one with a funky print is a bonus! I picked up this gorgeous Aztec print maxi […] 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 was gifted a pair of these Hudson Jeans Nico Foil Stingray Printed Mid Rise […] 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: 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 »
