Fifty Shades Of Missy…

February 16, 2015

1 Comment

What a weekend and what a week. One…it’s NYFW and I am beyond stressed (stay tuned for some fashion week diary posts from shows, parties and events) and two it was Valentine’s Day. So I never try to get too personal on here but once again after another interesting dating weekend I learned something…I am completely clueless when it comes to guys so thank god I am not clueless when it comes to all things fashion (hey a girl has to be a master at something right? haha!) and I also am pretty thick headed and refuse to have anything but the best…is it bad to have high expectations? I guess I will find out sooner or later 😉

So if the title didn’t give it away, I am kinda obsessed with the whole Fifty Shades phenomenon. Ok, so I may not have read the book (I must admit I am not a reader) and I have yet to see the movie (it was a busy fashion weekend) but I LOVE the entire movie soundtrack and therefore I decided to rock gray head to toe! So let’s break down the shades of gray…This gray v neck tee from Old Navy is a piece I can’t live without…it’s soft, fits me perfectly and can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion. So to dress it up, I layered a lighter shade of gray boyfriend blazer over my tee…and to pull the look together…gray pumps.

My white tote is actually up for grabs on my Poshmark (I only have room in my closet for so much). I found a similar white tote here and you can get the Henri Bendel 57th St Tote in other colors here.

NYFW Ready…

February 13, 2015

Leave a comment

With NYFW quickly approaching I teamed up with smartwater to share my NYFW prep guide / a little outfit inspiration for the big week in NYC! Fashion Week is a stressful yet exciting time for every blogger…shows to see, parties to attend and outfits to shoot…so I tend to A) Keep my looks simple enough to transition from day to night + B) Stay hydrated and ready to go with smartwater, the official hydrator of NYFW (no matter where I go I always have my bottle handy).

*This story is brought to you by vapor-distilled smartwater, who found unique inspiration for their water by looking up to the sky. We hope the new perspective this piece offers will help inspire you.

My NYFW style always incorporates a killer pair of heels, an easy go to bag and a crisp blazer that pulls the look together. What inspires my look? Easy, simple, chic, classic pieces. Pieces that can be worn season to season, can transition well for any occasion and are pieces that are flattering on every figure. While I am never one to shy away from color during February NYFW I tend to keep my winter neutrals paired with a little pop (my pop being white). Since NYFW is such a hectic time I prep the best way I know how…with a little rest, relaxation and of course a vacation! Last week I headed on a pre-fashion week trip to Orlando Florida (where I shot these photos…hence the lack of snow covering the ground and the ability to wear white pumps). I spent the weekend at Disney World and every hour on the hour I was guzzling another bottle of smartwater to stay hydrated as I was running around…which in a way reminded me of running from show to show, party to event all week long during fashion week. My takeaway? Stay HYDRATED (trust me it’s much needed).Although I am always carrying a ton while attending the shows, my Rebecca Minkoff Affair Bag has been my go to for the past few seasons. It fits all my essentials: camera, iPhone charger, sunglasses, water bottle, makeup and more. Not too big, not too small…just right 😉 I wish fashion week was in a warmer climate this season but what can you do…it gives me an excuse to wear vegan leather leggings like these ones from Lysse that not only keep me warm, but they are as stylish and as chic as could be.

Love Is In The Air…

February 11, 2015

It’s almost here…the day of love…whether you plan to spend it with your significant other, your girlfriends, your dog or even just your family, one thing is for certain…it requires a dash of red…ok maybe A LOT of red! When I spotted this red midi skirt I instantly fell in LOVE…you know my heart simply melted…like the way butter runs down a hot piece of toast (can you guess what movie that is from hehe)…I fall for my wardrobe the way most people fall for another person #oops #BloggerProblems #ShoppngAddict Since I went overly red with the skirt I balanced the look out with a simple black crop top. Sometimes less is more when you are so busy making a colorful statement 😉

My accessories were also quite simple and can be worn well past Valentine’s Day. White pointed toe pumps (which I am currently obsessed with), a rose necklace (well suiting for a ‘Melissa Rose’ haha) + my Rebecca Minkoff clutch (similar here).

I had to throw some funny shots in there for ya guys 😉 PS this post is called ‘Love Is In The Air’ A) Because it’s about Valentine’s Day duh! + B) Because I will be working late tonight hosting a fun blogger event at Kleinfeld where we are spreading the love in our shoe and accessory boutique! (I can’t wait to tell ya all about it…stay tuned!)

I’ve worn them for New Year’s, Christmas, parties and more. This sweetheart fit and flare dress is honestly my favorite because it fits me perfectly. To add a little extra something I opted to wear my pink shaggy coat (which is available on my Poshmark here) that keeps me super warm all night long!

My clutch is from GiGi NY (who would have guessed they are based right around the block from where I live!) + my shoes are Michael Kors (no longer available) I found two similar options here + here.

Adding Animal Print…

February 6, 2015

8 Comments

So for real, I am ~~not~~ feeling the snow…like at all. I ~~hate~~ having to bundle up like an eskimo and I can’t stand my face freezing the second I walk out the door…but I guess Mother Nature feels us New Yorkers are strong enough to tough out these freezing weather conditions…I mean why else would we have to put up with these shenanigans 😉

Anyways one thing I am semi-ok with this season is the ability to wear faux fur vests every day along with OTK boots (these Target ones have become my obsession…for under $40 they should be yours too…just saying!)I may have mentioned in previous posts, but I was never one for animal prints. I feel they have to be done the right way to look nice without being tacky I suppose…and I think this faux fur leopard vest does just the trick. A little animal print layered over some simple key pieces is an easy go to…especially for a Friday when I’m rushing from the office then out to dinner, drinks (aka me not drinking) or events. My simple pieces: this black Lush button down + some comfy jeggings. I know a lot of people are against the jegging but listen…they are super comfortable and have the look and feel of jeans without me feeling suffocated all day long so they are a ‘win‘ in my book 😉

Accessory wise I kept things toned down…all black everything woo! Black ‘Mini Mac’ bag from Rebecca Minkoff + my black suede OTK boots from Target (on sale now!)

While I may look warm and snuggly in this look I can assure you I am not…I was freezing while shooting this so yea…wear a coat…especially this weekend (bracing myself for more snow ugh!) :p | Click To Shop + Share My Look |
