I love my skinny jeans but sometimes a girl just needs a break. And boyfriend jeans are the next best thing. The best ones are slouchy and look lived in, but I found a great pair at H&M, which is a sort of skinny/boyfriend hybrid, aka my two faves in one. Paired with a cropped […] 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: Double denim; double stripes (UK Style by French Connection denim shirt + Hudson jeans + Bottega Veneta sandals)
Some celebrity or fashion/style trend expert decided it was a great idea to bring back the denim-on-denim trend, and I’m not complaining at all. It was a favorite of mine back in the 80’s, although with a MUCH tackier feel than today. I remember pairing a denim shirt with acid-washed jeans and embellished denim shoes! […] Read More »
My style: Snakes and studs at New York Fashion Week (Exclusive For Intermix blouse + Valentino Rockstud pumps + Celine Leather Luggage Tote)
You know your shoes are making a statement when random men on the street stop to compliment them. And I mean the type of men who look like they typically couldn’t care less about a pair of women’s shoes. I’ve wanted to buy these for some time now but thought they were a little too […] Read More »
My style: Tornado watch (White blazer & peplum top, neon yellow jeans, Vince Camuto sandals, Furla satchel)
What do you wear in the event of a tornado? There was a tornado watch in NYC last weekend, but I didn’t believe it at first. Every time I looked outside, there was nothing but sunshine. It was sunny all day, so color me surprised when I went shopping at the mall and came out […] Read More »
My style: Friday night brights (Tart ‘Helen’ top + Gap jeans + LOFT Caged Wedges + Balenciaga Giant Midday tote)
Oh dear weekends, how do I love thee? Friday is probably my favorite day of the week. Friday nights signal the end of the work week, and the start of the weekend (YAY!) plus it’s usually my date night with my hubby and the perfect chance to unwind. Last Friday we decided to just take […] Read More »
My style & street style at the 8th annual AfroPunk Festival
What I’m wearing: Joie tank | Vince Camuto ‘Mirror Rainbow’ Maxi Skirt | Balenciaga bag | Dolce Vita wedges | Prada Baroque sunglasses This past weekend I hit up the 8th annual AfroPunk Festival in Brookyln. The two-day, FREE(!) event was held at Commodore Barry Park in Brooklyn, and was some of the most fun […] Read More »
My style: Weekend comfort (Daniel Rainn blouse + Seven7 jeans + Marc by Marc Jacobs bag)
On the weekends, you’ll usually find me in a maxi dress or jeans. I live for comfort so putting on a pair of my favorite worn-in denim is typical. Also, I can be quite the girly-girl. I’ve always been a sucker for anything with floral print, butterflies or hearts, so I immediately picked up this top when […] Read More »
My style: All dressed up (H&M skater dress + DvF sandals)
You know when you spot that must-have dress and you have NO idea where you’re going to wear it but you’re still going to buy it anyway? That was exactly how I felt when I spotted this dress. I saw it in H&M and immediately fell in love with the Mary Katrantzou-style kaleidoscope/tropical print. That, […] 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: Rock the polka dots (China dress + Vince Camuto sandals + kate spade Bow Bridge Kennedy satchel)
Last year I so badly wanted this Fire Ants maxi dress but by the time I discovered it, it was sold out! I loved the mixing of mint and coral colors, and of course the fire ants print was so much fun! A few months ago I was speeding by a row of stores while […] Read More »
My style: The Highline (H&M tank + J. Crew bubble necklace + Eva Franco skirt + Beirn Jenna watersnake tote)
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 […] 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: Sunshine at the beach (H&M dress + Bottega Veneta sandals + Galliano Leather Heart Bag)
I’ve noticed a trend in my closet this summer: the color yellow. I seem to be drawn to the color in every form – clothing, shoes, and other accessories. Something about the color makes me feel like having fun, so I wore this yellow H&M dress to the beach one weekend recently. The Bottega Veneta […] 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: 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: 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 »
