Wearing: Stripe Knit Dress, Wandler Hortensia Shoulder Bag, Gold Mules I’ve fallen out of love with shopping. As someone who had been addicted to shopping for as long as I can remember, these are words I never ever thought I’d speak. As a child, I’d use my allowance for weekend family jaunts to Kmart, where […] Read More »
12 Ways to Wear Denim: Jean Leggings
I wasn’t blessed with long legs (*silently cries*) but with the right pair of heels and the right pair of jeans, I can still live that long-legged life! Express is one of the few places where I’ve always been able to find jeans that fit my body (and by body I mean my hips, my […] Read More »
My Style: Varsity blues and pinks
I tend to go back and forth between wearing black (my favorite and default fashion color) for long periods of time, and being a girly girl and rocking lots of pink, my other favorite color. Plus, I’m a fan of trendy pieces that have staying power, so when I saw this lovely varsity sweater and […] Read More »
My Style: Camel and Cognac
I always tend to get dressed around my accessories. Give me a new statement bag or pair of shoes and I can build my entire look around it! I was recently sent this Basta Milano Cognac Embossed bag to wear-test and review. I immediately fell in love with the cognac hue, ostrich-style leather, and its […] Read More »
My style: Snow day (lia sophia jewelry + Free People sweater + Tory Burch leather cargo leggings)
One of my favorite times of year is New York Fashion Week, which comes around every February and September. I love attending Fall fashion week (happening now) to see what’s haute in Fall fashion, but hate that there’s always some crazy snowstorm that hits New York every year during this time! But, the true test […] Read More »
My style: Blue and gold (Faux fur vest + blue H&M pants + ASOS Print clutch)
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 […] Read More »
My style: Day sequins (MICHAEL Michael Kors sequin dress + NYDJ Coated Skinny Jeans)
I’m not typically a sequins gal (I went through a ‘moment’ in high school where I bedazzled and sequined pretty much everything – jeans, jackets, baseball caps…ugh). So now I typically shy away from sequined attire unless it’s New Year’s Eve or another occasion that requires glitzy attire. But I spotted this MICHAEL Michael Kors […] Read More »
My style: Three looks, one Fall #Score from TJ Maxx — plus share your fave fashion find to win one of two $100 TJ Maxx gift cards!
I think I was a “Maxxinista” even before TJ Maxx officially coined the term! I’ve always loved shopping there. In the past it was my place to find some great trendy and classic pieces, for a steal. Some of my favorite past TJ Maxx finds include Christian Dior mirrored sunglasses, a full length dark brown shearling coat, […] Read More »
My style: A walk in the park (WGACA camo jacket + Equipment neon blouse + Alexander Wang bag + Valentino pumps)
Even though it’s most comfortable and typical for me to lounge around in jeans on the weekends, I do like the idea of getting at least slightly dressed up. Like putting on a dress or a skirt. Especially on Sundays. Last weekend, my hubby and I went for a drive and stopped by a local […] Read More »
My style: Lemon-Lime (Alice + Olivia Striped Tube Top + Proenza Schouler PS11 Capri Tote + Rockport Janae Perforated Sandals)
I truly am a bag stalker. Just ask my ‘bag guy’ at Neiman Marcus. When I see a bag I want, I will not stop until I find it. That was the case with this Proenza Schouler PS11 Tote. For some reason, it kept showing up in Barneys ads all over the web, but when […] 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: Orange Pop (Hawke & Co. trench + UK Style by French Connection top + J. Crew pants)
Gloomy days call for a pop of color, don’tcha think? In college, I used to be that girl that would always wear all black. Not sure what I had against color, since my high school wardrobe was PRETTY COLORFUL. Thank goodness there are few photos. But throughout college, I donned all black, pretty much all […] 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 »
