Trouble Maker…

January 9, 2015

Leave a comment

Ok…I know you all are going to yell at me and say ‘What Are You Thinking?!” wearing a skirt in the dead of winter. Well as I’ve shared with you guys before, I shoot multiple looks ahead of time (this way when temperatures are below zero I am not freezing my little butt off wearing my ever favorite skater skirt!). So this little ‘Trouble Maker’ was shot in…drum roll please…October! Yes…You heard me October. My iPhoto library is a never ending catalog of Missy approved outfits just waiting to be posted so in a way this look is a ‘FlashBack Friday’ hence why it isn’t weather appropriate…Now that we cleared the air as to why I am not covered in goosebumps here haha let’s get to the fun stuff…A) The fact that it is Friday and the start of a much needed weekend after my first full week at my new job + B) Breaking down today’s outfit details 😉This look was based around this Rock & Republic scoop neck scuba sweatshirt from Kohls (on sale now for $25!). When I spotted it in Kohls I just knew I had to have it because if you ask anyone that knows me…it’s safe to say I am the occasional ‘Trouble Maker‘ (~~oops~~).In order to dress up an otherwise ordinary sweatshirt I paired it with this cute gray quilted skater skirt from Charlotte Russe (which is only $12…total must have!). I love a good skater skirt and especially anything with a quilted design…what can I say it reminds me of Chanel haha!Another reason I love this outfit? It encompasses my two current obsessions…a Pop Of Color + Studded Pumps (which in reality have always been obsessions of mine!) I scored this orange satchel at Last Call Neiman Marcus as a last minute find, but I found two similar options here + here. My black rockstud pumps aren’t Valentino my loves…they are from Necessary Clothing for under $30 here! Yes…it’s a god send that I am thankful for every day 😉Every outfit needs a little bling! cc: Kendra Scott Naomi Ring + Michael Kors Silver Chonograph Watch I wish the weather would actually warm up so I could wear an outfit like this out again 🙁 But hey that’s what makes New York, New York right folks? I am off to work (I barely got any sleep between setting up this post and getting distracted by the newest episode of ‘Millionaire Matchmaker’…if only Patti could set me up with my perfect match…I already have the wedding essentials down pat working at Kleinfeld!)

Top 20 Winter Scarves…

January 8, 2015

7 Comments

So today’s post is inspired by the ~~bitter~~ cold weather NYC is currently having. Last night, I got off the train on Long Island, began walking to my car and actually starting tearing from how freezing cold it was! The wind was howling and basically forced me to run to may car as fast as I could (mind you I was in heels) and I had to wait for my hands to thaw and my face to stop feeling freezer burn before I began driving home. Naturally that put me in a tizzy and I HAD to stock up on more scarves…so I came up with a roundup of my Top 20 Scarves for Winter 2015 (still getting used to writing out 2015…I still mess up occasionally…~~oops~~)!

P.S. The three scarves I am wearing in these photos are from Old Navy but are ~~no longer~~ available so I have similar options for you:

Red Plaid Scarf // Blue Plaid Scarf // Black + White Plaid Scarf

Feels Like Winter…

January 7, 2015

Brrrrr…It is FREEZING here in New York and yesterday we had our first real snow fall of the season which naturally I was ill equipped for. Commuting to work everyone work snow boots and hats…me? I wore slip on sneakers and left the hat at home (I tend to ~~never~~ dress weather appropriate what can I say). Today’s post was shot a few days before Christmas but I actually for once dressed warm enough that I wasn’t shivering cold while shooting! So I am making progress slowly but surely 😉And yes…it’s winter and I am wearing white (despite the fashion rule ‘No White After Labor Day’ I wear white skinny jeans ALL the time!) Today’s look is simple and easy…perfect for work AND play! A tan button down cardigan is a winter ‘must have’, it’s ideal for layering plus it’s an easy no brainer to throw on in the morning over a blouse when it’s chilly.I have become slightly obsessed with scarves this winter and the one I am wearing today is my FAVORITE! I love the plaid design and the fringed ends…it’s so warm and cozy it feels like home <3 Now to break down the shoes, bag + sunnies. I got these J Crew sunglasses a few months ago and love them as a great alternative to my usual go to sunnies…my mirrored aviators. These C Wonder block heel booties are the most comfortable boots I own. The stacked block heel adds extra support and the rubber bottoms make them super easy to walk in (something that is quite important when commuting into NYC). PS these booties are on sale now for under $75!And last but not least…the premiere of my new Gucci Soho Tote! I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now and now I get to share similar bags with you below (I scored mine at Saks Fifth Avenue + you can call to ask your local store if they have it in stock because it is no longer online).Stock up on these great winter pieces below for amazing prices (even the Gucci bags are on sale).| Click To Shop My Look |

Sittin’ Pretty…

January 6, 2015

Today I am…sittin’ pretty (on the blog here at least). Currently I am wrapped in a towel sitting on my bed watching re-runs of ‘Girlfriends’ Guide To Divorce’ (best show ever btw! current obsession) and relaxing after my return to the Big Apple today for my first day at my new job…which I LOVE! It’s crazy how sometimes things just fall perfectly into place…when you feel like you truly belong somewhere and your voice is heard…it’s a great feeling let me tell ya and if you haven’t experienced it yet, don’t worry one day you will.

I kept being anti-winter and anti NYC weather for the longest time but with looks like this, I can begin to embrace a little cold here and there 😉 Typically when I begin to put a look together I base it around one key piece…today’s would clearly be this great shearling vest that I got at a local boutique by me but I found similar options here, here + here. I LOVE a great vest and this shearling one keeps me warm and cozy…win/win!I really wanted the vest to take center stage so I paired it with a simple white cable knit sweater and black ripped jeans (both are winter staples in my book)! I always think Old Navy has the best cable knit sweaters but maybe that’s because I love a great bargain as well 😉 And my favorite part…bag and shoes! I am OBSESSED with these leopard ankle strap sandals that I snagged for…$7 at DSW! Yes, you heard me…$7! While they are no ~~longer~~ available I found you guys options here + here (all affordable, don’t you worry)!As you all know…I love Rebecca Minkoff and her fabulous ‘Affair’ bag available with free shipping from Zappos here. And even in the winter months I still need my mirrored aviators…they just add a little ‘pop’ to any look don’t ya think?Alright I think that’s all for now folks…I am half asleep and need some rest to get ready for another busy day in NYC!

Right Back To It…

The day is finally here…I’m back to my old stomping grounds (two different stomping grounds that is)…today is my first day of my new position as the social media coordinator for Kleinfelds and I am beyond EXCITED! I have been searching for the right fit for a while after leaving Madison Ave last spring and after quite the journey I am pleased to be starting the new year off right with a brand new adventure that I can’t wait to embark on!

Now in regards to back to my old stomping grounds…A) I am back to commuting into the Big Apple daily and heading to work following my passion…social media 😉 + B) These photos were taken at a very old stomping ground…my elementary school! Boy has time flied (insert monkey covering it’s face emoji here haha!)While this isn’t what I am wearing for my first day of work today (you can see my daily work ensembles on snap chat — add me ‘MissyOnMadison‘…beware I am VERY NEW to the world of snap chat and needed my 14 year old sister to help me…along with some help from google just so I could learn how to write text on ‘snaps’…hey I ~~can’t know~~ it all…that would just be obnoxious haha!)Ok, now that I got the whole snap chat situation out of the way let’s get to the reason why we are all here…the outfit details! Both my blue satchel bag and my white button down cardigan are from Old Navy! Unfortunately they are no longer available but I found options here:

Blue Satchel Bags: Givenchy // Yes Style // Rebecca Minkoff

White Button Down Cardigan: Alexander Wang // Kohls // AMI Clubwear I LOVE a little faux leather…I rocked faux leather leggings on the blog Friday here and here I am wearing a faux leather skirt available from Forever 21 here (for under $15!)Like I mentioned earlier my bag was from Old Navy. As for my shoes? Altuzarra for Target (which I am selling on my Poshmark here). I found similar options here, here + here (all for under $100!)I am writing this post at 11 o’clock at night and I am freaking out with nervousness and excitement for tomorrow…I have changed my first day outfit 3 times and I know there will be another few outfit change ups in the morning as well…I may be slightly indecisive oops!| Click To Shop My Look |
