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 […] Read More »
My style: Burglar stripes & Blues (Pierre Balmain tee + Hybrid striped jeans + Alexander Wang Rocco duffel + Skin Ark Bar pumps)
I know all the cautionary tales about wearing striped skirts or pants but since this is the season of burglar/railroad/referee stripes, I decided to buck all convention and give striped jeans a try. I love the way these Hybrid Bold Railroad Stripe Jeans fit, and love that you can wear them with a bunch of […] Read More »
My style: The ‘Illest’ (boohoo sweater, Muubaa leather skirt + Celine Luggage Tote in fluro pink)
When boohoo reached out and asked me to choose some items from their site, I immediately set my eyes on this ‘Illest’ sweater. For one, I love clothes with messages and as a huge lover of rap and hip-hop, the word is a favorite of mine. (Remember this lyric: “Biggie Smalls is the illest. Your […] Read More »
My style: Black, white & neon (H&M blazer + Equipment blouse + ASOS pants)
I could wear black and white all day every day but to avoid monotony, I like to throw some eye-popping color into the mix. Preferably neon. What can I say – I grew up in the 80’s! I love these ASOS pants – they look like modernized track pants (another 80’s trend, thank you LL […] Read More »
My style: the Little Black Dress by Muse Apparel
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 […] Read More »
My style: Lazy Sunday
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, […] 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: Back to black (Ecru leather sleeve blazer + Black Orchid jeans + Jean-Michel Cazabat curved heel boots)
As much as I love color, sometimes my mood, or the weather (like this icky ‘Frankenstorm’ called ‘Nemo’ that’s on its way), calls for me wearing my default color: black. That color pretty much dominated my wardrobe in college. And New York City is a sea of black – coats, hats, handbags, boots, etc., especially […] Read More »
My style: A sunny outlook (Yellow blazer + polka dot blouse + distressed denim)
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 […] 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: Mixed metals (ASOS stud leather jacket, Wren tribal-print skirt, Alexander Wang grommet bag, Corso Como cap-toe pumps)
My husband really surprised me on Christmas when he gave me this jacket I really wanted! He found it on my Pinterest Wishlist page! (Good job, hubby! xoxo) The weather has been too cold to wear it but last week was unseasonably warm so it was the perfect time to rock it! The skirt comes […] Read More »
My style: Print mixing in the woods
What I’m Wearing: Ray-Ban aviators Tahari velvet moto jacket (similar here & here) Forever 21 grid print top Kenneth Jay Lane belt Random cheetah print pencil skirt (similar here & here) MaxStudio booties (similar here & here) I love seeing mixed prints on others (hello, Solange!) but never really tried the trend it myself. So […] 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: Fall brights (J. Crew blazer + Topshop peplum top + Vince ripped jeans)
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 […] Read More »
My style: Tigers, cheetahs and leather (ASOS Tiger sweater + oxblood leather shorts)
I am one of those people who likes to wear things that don’t make sense for the season, like open-toed boots, sandals with tights and short-sleeved sweaters in the winter, and closed-toe boots and long-sleeved shirts with the arms rolled up, in the summer. So the concept of leather shorts is right up my alley. […] Read More »
My style: Stripes & checks (LOFT Corded Dobby Striped Trench + Jolt Reversible Houndstooth-Print Skinny Jeans)
A great coat always tops my list of Fall essentials. It’s the first thing anyone sees so it’s nice to pick one that stands out. I especially dig a good trench coat. A girl can never have too many of those. When I first spotted this belted, Corded Dobby Striped Trench in LOFT‘s Fall advertising […] Read More »
My style: Tartan + Peplum (ASOS top + Seven7 jeans + Valentino Rockstud pumps)
I was heading back to New York from Washington, D.C. when Hurricane Sandy just started in that area. The previous day and earlier that morning it was sunny and warm. When I stopped on a local road in Maryland to take these pictures, the chill was just settling in and the rain just beginning. We managed […] Read More »
My style: Yellow & camo (Avaleigh dress, VS camo pants, Anna Dello Russo at H&M accessories)
I was quite surprised when I stepped into my local H&M a few weeks ago on the evening of the Anna Dello Russo at H&M launch. I expected everything to be snapped up; gone, in typical H&M collab fashion. But to my surprise, there still was a slew of accessories still neatly stocked behind a glass […] Read More »
