Suit Up…

August 20, 2014

14 Comments

Happy Wednesday Loves! I love putting unexpected pieces together to create awesome looks…as my mom likes to say I put things together that look ‘weird’. Well while it may be weird to some, it’s fashion to me 😉 That’s what personal style is all about! I also attempted to put my hair up for a photo…I was digging it till my brother aka my photographer simply said ‘no’ while shaking his head…so the hair down it is.While I love denim shorts for a great casual look, I thought, why not dress them up with a simple white blouse and a crisp white blazer for a sophisticated look? Well here it is! To snazz up the white and denim basics, I paired my look with one of my obsessions, the Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag (I have two…both monogrammed with my initials…I may or may not have a slight designer addiction). Did you know that Louis Vuitton monograms all of their bags for free in store? Yea, I discovered this years after buying mine and they still did it for me! Now that’s customer service!My shoes were sent to me from Carolinna Espinosa. I love these sandals because of the thick block heel…we know what that means, comfortable! They are called the ‘Allentown‘ sandal and they are available now at Nordstrom.My white blazer is from my favorite line of blazers…LC By Lauren Conrad. Seriously all of her blazers fit me perfectly…I have yet to find another brand that suits me so well. The denim shorts? Abercrombie! Their shorts always fit me perfect…pretty surprising considering I’m not a 16 year old girl which is usually who wears their clothes, but hey I think Abercrombie is stepping up their game! My simple white printed blouse is from Old Navy (probably a clearance find…I never spend regular price there! I always find a coupon or a deal when it comes to Old Navy).Shop My Look <3

Say My Name…

August 19, 2014

Happy Tuesday Loves! Can you tell I was listening to Destiny’s Child while writing this post? ‘Say My Name’ is one of my favorite songs and my other bit of inspiration for this post was Bravo’s new series called ‘Jersey Belle’ where Jersey native Jaime Primak Sullivan leaves the world of cannolis and the Sopranos for the preppy and fully monogrammed town of Mountain Brook, Alabama. I love how there was an entire episode just about how much southern women love their monograms. Bath towels, shirts, even underwear…all with their monograms…a little overboard, but nonetheless I’m kind of obsessed myself! Shop Dandy has all the monogramed pieces you are craving (they are a Southern boutique, so it’s only fitting they stock up on monograms!). I bought this lucite pencil holder (which I so cleverly turned into a places to store my makeup brushes) and an oversized signature key ring…it solved the whole loosing my keys in my oversized purse problem instantly 😉 I also love C wonder for great monogrammed pieces. I’ve gotten signature cuffs and jewelry boxes from them. Helps me remember who I am on days that I get so busy I practically loose my mind 😉 I also love Graphic Image New York / GiGi NY for some great leather and monograms…clutches, planners and phone cases…all with my stamp of approval, my initials <3Shop My Picks Below <3

From Day To Night…

August 18, 2014

Happy Monday Loves! I hope you had a fun filled weekend like I did…lets’ just say it involved some shopping, outfit shoots and…blogging. Just Kidding (not really), but I also spent some quality time with family and friends and ventured out on Long Island. So I learned while working in NYC that it is essential to have a great day to night transition look. A great outfit to wear from 9-5 but that can easily be ‘glammed’ up or down for happy hour. I think I finally found the perfect ensemble. I’ve seen a lot of ladies rock crop tops to the office…while I think it’s daring, I still opt to make the look a bit traditional by adding a chic black blazer paired with a printed high waisted skirt like this one from Prabal Gurung for Target (love a great Look For Less collab). I always have to add a ‘Pop Of Color’ to every look, so queue the cobalt blue quilted clutch. I scored this bag on sale at Lord & Taylor last year, but everyone always assumes it’s designer…don’t you love when that happens? My first pair of shoes for the ‘day’ look are from Nine West. These black booties are simply stunning and they are comfortable too. A great shoe to wear year round. Now for my ‘night’ portion. Not much changes except loosing the blazer and adding an even sexier shoe.My shoes are also Prabal Gurung for Target (I found similar one’s from Nine West available now). These are my ‘sexy’ shoes. Comfortable for a night filled with dancing, but also classy enough for a nice dinner. I simply love this look, now I just need somewhere to go!Shop My Look<3

Weekend Wish List: Fall…

August 16, 2014

6 Comments

Happy Weekend Loves! It’s time for another weekend wish list and this weekend’s theme is all about fall! I am super excited for fall fashion…not necessarily fall. What can I say I’m a summer gal 😉 {Click Each Item To Shop Direct}

Just because I love summer doesn’t mean I’m not looking forward to some fabulous fall looks…which I will start putting together this weekend (tons of outfit shoots in the works)! I’m currently lusting after a few pieces for fall…can you blame me? New seasons = new excuses to buy things!

I love the Pashli bag from 3.1 Phillip Lim, especially in the orchid color shown above. Yes, I know a bright purple is more summer than fall but hey if I can make it work, I will. I also love a great nude lip for fall and actually year round, this Tom Ford shade is flawless…just what I needed. It wouldn’t be fall without a chic moto jacket…luckily my pick above is from Forever 21! Affordable and stylish…now that’s fashion at it’s finest 😉

Funday Friday…

August 15, 2014

TGIF! Happy ‘Funday’ Friday Loves! While this casual Friday ensemble wasn’t shot on a Friday, it was definitely shot on a Fun Day 😉 haha ok so that was corny I know…want to know where ‘Funday Friday’ really came from? Well…it’s actually a sarcastic comment from my trainer at the gym…Friday’s are cardio day AKA…Funday Friday.I don’t even want to think about what today’s work out has in store for me…so instead let’s focus on this cute chambray look 😉 Better distraction if you ask me! My chambray button down top was a ‘Shop Genius’ find from Nordstrom Rack. I love Chambray and it’s a great transition piece from spring to summer to fall to winter…wear it with absolutely everything and anything. My white cotton shorts are from Abercrombie. I’m trying to get in my fill of summer clothing before fall hits NY. Shoes always make the outfit and I LOVE these silver Converse kicks. It’s crazy to believe they have been hiding in the back of my closet ever since freshman year of high school! To know me means to know how obsessed I am with neon! This neon Cambridge Satchel is another oldie but goodie…I got this when I was a freshman in college. I guess I like mixing old and new what can I say 😉I truly love all of these shots because I enjoy being by the water, especially on Long Island during the summer. These photos were taken on the ‘Nautical Mile’ in Freeport NY if any of you guys are familiar. It’s a perfect Long Island summer spot. Shop My Look Below<3
