Timberland Makes Creepers?! Who knew?
This season’s creeper craze pretty much started with Prada and exploded from there. And since it’s pretty much impossible to get your hands on a Prada pair, we started checking out other options. We recently spotted this pair of purple creepers on TheStreetFashion5xpro and that telltale tree logo embossed on the side of the shoe […] 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 »
Attention street style snappers – Fujifilm now makes fashionable camera cases
With street style at an all-time high, digital cameras seen on the shoulders of those in the fashion set are becoming as ubiquitous as designer handbags. As a Digital SLR camera owner, I’ve found that most of the larger camera cases are fully functional, but fail at being fashionable. Luckily, Fujifilm announced its new 2011 […] 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 »
My Style: Butterfly Sunday (Zara kimono blazer and pegged pants + Abaco Paris bag)
Happy Easter lovelies! It was such a beautiful day today and the perfect day to wear this kimono blazer that I had been stalking all over Manhattan! I literally called all but one Zara store before I found it, and right away hopped on the train to go pick it up. I love it so […] Read More »
My Style: Designing Women (Rachel Roy trench + Catherine Malandrino blouse + Zara leggings)
Two of my favorite female designers are Rachel Roy and Catherine Malandrino. They both know womens bodies and the female form so well. Their clothes always fit perfectly, as if they were designed just for you. I met Rachel Roy a few months ago at an intimate lunch held for a few fashion bloggers, and […] Read More »
My Style: Orange Crush (Ralph Lauren cardigan + London Jean camo pants + Kelsi Dagger boots)
I’m always surprised that as girly and sexy as Victoria’s Secret is, you can find so many edgy camo-print items. I got this camo-print dress last summer, and after that, this pair of camo-print London Jeans. I love the versatility of camouflage – you can wear it with white and black of course, or any […] Read More »
My Style: Playing Dress Up With The Outnet! (Michael Kors and Moschino dresses + Camilla Skovgaard and Jimmy Choo shoes)
Like most young girls, I always loved playing dress up in my mom’s closet. She had tons of fabulous shoes and clothes that I would get lost in for hours. Fast forward many years later and I still love playing dress up – mostly, in my own closet. So when I was invited to a […] Read More »
My Style: Going Back to Cali – Part II (BB Dakota leather jacket + H&M top and skirt + Michael Kors wedges)

My style: Got the Blues (Denim shirt + Gap skirt + Rebecca Minkoff bag + Tory Burch platform sandals)
I’m loving the rebirth of the denim/chambray shirt. Back in the day I had so many different types of them, and got rid of them all. But like everything in fashion, it’s now back in style. I love the drawstring waist on this shirt (anything that cinches your middle is a must-have). I planned to […] Read More »
