Apparently I love pairing denim combos with stripe combos. I’ve done it before and likely will do it again. And with the same denim shirt. It was gifted to me two years ago at the UK Style by French Connection preview and since then it has become a core piece in my closet and my weekly wear. Denim shirts are some of the most versatile pieces of apparel (alongside denim jeans) and I find myself wearing this one frequently. The rest of my clothes are recent purchases. I got these Gap Curvy Skinny Jeans a week ago and love them – they fit like a glove. I also recently got this striped...  Read More..

Black has always been my default color. I subscribe to my own personal fashion rule, “When in doubt, wear black.” After realizing in college how full of black clothing my closet was, I began venturing out into buying/wearing more color. But there’s no replacement for the classic black fashion item, the LBD or little black dress. To me, the little black dress is THE most classic fashion item, bringing to mind a glamorous Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s“. (I even had a so-themed bridal shower, where everyone was instructed to wear LBD’s). So when...  Read More..

Blazer, T-shirt & boyfriend jean combos were made for lazy weekend days where you really don’t feel like getting dressed. This past weekend I was feeling especially relaxed but had a few errands to run on Sunday so quickly threw together this look. When the weather is gloomy and you’ve got a mood to match, wearing bright color combos helps everything seem a bit brighter, no? On another note, I’m so happy I finally got to wear these J.Crew Everly Pumps! I’d been stalking them since they first appeared in the catalog and scored them (last pair in my size) for a steal...  Read More..

I’m a firm believer that the weather really affects your mood, so during the cold and grey winter I try to make my days much brighter by wearing sunny hues! I’m obsessed with the color yellow, especially in the winter – it really lights up my look – and makes me feel happier. I went out last weekend in my usual uniform – jeans and a blazer. It’s a look you really can’t go wrong with. Although it was about 20 degrees and super windy, I found a bright and sunny spot in Chelsea to take some pics just before the evening chill set in. What I’m Wearing: ...  Read More..

As I’ve mentioned before, I seem to wear things that leave others scratching their heads. When I was home for the holidays, I endured a lot of jokes from my siblings and husband about my blue furry vest, but you know what? I still love it! A faux fur vest is pretty versatile and to me, a fashion necessity. You can wear it alone, layered over a leather jacket for more warmth and an edgier look and even into the spring with a pair of denim shorts. Yep, I plan on wearing it each way. Didn’t realize it at the time, but I’m wearing my college colors: blue and gold. Hail to Pitt! Here’s...  Read More..

I love this time of the year when the leaves start to Fall and turn all sorts of brilliant tones! It’s truly one of the most beautiful, natural sights to see, especially in a rural area. Unfortunately you don’t get to see natural beauty like this in NYC – so I had to take these pics while home for Thanksgiving. I loved the colors of the trees and leaves outdoors so I wanted to wear something bright too – like my new, hot pink J. Crew blazer, paired with Fall’s hottest hue – oxblood.

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!

Although I love to throw on a nice sundress on the weekends as my summer uniform, every now and then I like to go with a simple tank and skirt combo. It’s just as easy and just as chic! You’ll notice that I love colorblocking, especially pairing neutral tones with eye-popping color, like this yellow and grey combo I wore on Sunday while walking around Chelsea and the Meatpacking District by way of The Highline. I’ve been planning to go to The Highline since it first opened and I finally visited. And I can’t believe it took me so long. That place is amazing! It’s a...  Read More..

Beyonce’s ultra-cool, ultra-stylish lil sis, Solange, has just been named as the face of J.Crew‘s sister brand, Madewell. The singer, DJ, style star, & Next model is mixing and matching prints in Madewell’s fall 2012 campaign, “Mix Well. Madewell.” You may remember that Solange is practically besties with J. Crew’s Jenna Lyons, (whose style we also salivate over), and even though she’s be great as the face of J. Crew, modeling for Madewell seems to be more of the right fit. Madewell thinks so too, as they commented, “Solange’s great style...  Read More..

This summer I’ve been obsessed with two things: the color yellow and the nautical trend. When I first spotted this J. Crew anchor-print dress in the catalog, I immediately knew I had to have it! I headed to the store to try it on and the sales girl told me I should wait, since it would likely go on sale in a few weeks. So I patiently waited and came back a few weeks later and snagged it for a steal! Ok, well as much of a steal as you can get at J. Crew. What I’m wearing: Dress: J. Crew Dizzy anchors dress Bag: Celine Boston Luggage Tote in Fluro pink Sandals: Pierrette Black Polka...  Read More..
