Leopard Lady…

November 11, 2014

Happy Tuesday Lovers! So I am freaking out because today I am going to meet one of my biggest inspirations and the only man who can make me laugh and smile on a daily basis…Andy Cohen! He is signing and promoting his newest book ‘The Andy Cohen Diaries’ at a local book store near me…I have butterflies and can’t wait to be a total fan girl and snap a picture with him for insta…hey if it isn’t on insta it didn’t really happen right? haha I digress…I had no idea he was heading to the Island until I was talking to my brother and I said the word ‘Mazel’ which my mom who was listening to our conversation right away responded with…speaking of mazel, Andy Cohen will be here tomorrow…love how my whole family is familiar with the WWHL logo 🙂While I still haven’t chosen what I am going to wear tonight to meet the fabulous Andy himself, I have put together a little leopard look for ya’ll today. Everytime I wear leopard I feel fierce…my animal instincts come out but don’t worry I always act like a lady…well sometimes…oops.I scored this faux fur leopard vest on clearance from Karen Kane at Lord & Taylor…while it was purchased last year, I found a similar one for under $30 at Forever 21 here. Whenever I wear animal print I like to keep the rest of the look neutral like I did here with my black dolman sleeve top (here) and my black pleated skirt (here).My black strappy sandals are the ‘Lavania’ sandal from Coach (available here) or you can shop them on my Poshmark closet here. Although sandals are traditionally for summer, I like to transition them into the fall as well (as long as the weather permits).So ok maybe I lied about wearing more than one animal print…I paired this leopard look with this Michael Kors python clutch…it’s subtle, chic and reminds me of a Stella McCartney bag (always looking for an affordable version of luxury items). My perfect fall bling? A signature black leather bracelet, like this one from Vince Camuto and a great ‘nailed it’ bracelet available for under $5 here! (Yes…under $5 people and it’s even blinged out!)I’m contemplating a side pony with a touch of leopard tonight for Andy…what do you guys think (anyone who loves Andy Cohen and WWHL as well as me knows how much Andy loves a gal with a side ponytail!)| Click To Shop My Look |

Mixing Moto…

Happy Friday Loves…or should I say happy feisty Friday! I’m feeling a little feisty today with my mix of leopard print and faux leather in this outfit post. I always associate moto jackets, faux leather and leopard print for fall…mix them all together are voila…today’s look is born!I wanted to make your Friday a little sweeter with a friendly reminder that you can still enter to win a piece from the Dora Landa NY collection (including this fabulous leopard print dress I am wearing here)…who doesn’t love the chance to win a gorgeous piece of clothing (that normally retails for around $200!) I know I sure do 🙂I decided to take this cute little dress and make it a bit edgy by adding a moto jacket (this one is from Karen Kane but I found a similar one from Blank NYC here). Instead of opting for heels…time to add a chic little bootie like this Nine West one here. I feel like this look is a mix of biker chic and girly girl…the best kind of looks in my opinion.My brown envelope clutch is from SuSu Handbags and is definitely unique and a must have for fall (shop it on Poshmark here). It’s an easy everyday clutch to hold your keys, wallet and lip gloss or you can dress it up with jeans, a blazer and pumps for a fun night out.I loved this shot with a few little roses (perfect for Melissa Rose…get it haha my middle name is Rose…a little fun fact about me!)| Click To Shop My Look & Enter The Dora Landa NY Giveaway HERE |

Furry Friday…

TGIF! It’s been a long week my loves and the shot above shows exactly how I feel now…ready for a nice, relaxing weekend…sometimes after a hectic week it’s necessary to be able sit back and just live in the moment (so hard to do not going to lie…but I try). Fall means many things to me…one of my favorites? It’s finally time to wear my beloved faux fur vests from Karen Kane like the black one I am wearing today! This vest is no longer available from Karen Kane but I found a similar one from Express here. My white button down blouse and reptile printed pants are both from Old Navy! They are from a year ago so the styles have changed, so I found great alternatives from GUESS and Banana Republic here & here.Now to break down my shoes, accessories and bling…My black leather bucket bag is vintage Coach from my mama…I tend to enjoy raiding her handbag collection every now and then…oops (insert monkey covering it’s face emoji…can I just say I wish emojis could be inserted on the computer and within my blog posts…they would totally add to the tone of the post right?!). Payless always has me covered when it comes to footwear trends on a budget. Open toe booties with a wooden heel are very ‘in’ for fall…they are the perfect casual shoe for fall and I got them for a steal. I found similar ones here from Dolce Vita since I believe these Payless ones are no longer available.My gold Kendra Scott ‘Ivy’ bracelet was a gift from the Kendra Scott team at NYFW at the Reward Style party and it is stunning as you can see. I never tend to wear red nail polish but I caved in for one week only and I’m kind of warming up to the idea of red nails…for some reason red nail polish reminds me of something an older mature woman would wear…I’m mature butttt I have my immature moments 😉 Now I’m off to some weekend planning…and outfit shoot planning…blogging never sleeps and apparently neither do I haha But when you do something you love it doesn’t feel like work right?Shop My Look<3

Happy Thursday Loves! I often times take a bunch of outfit photos at a time and they pile up within my iPhoto Library sometimes not getting touched for weeks…this look is one of them. While browsing through tons of looks I came across this shoot from over a month ago…yea…I’m running a little behind oops! This shoot was a favorite of mine and not just because of this chic black and white ensemble but because of the great laughs that happened while Sarah shot me! The gal can always make me laugh which was a refreshing change from my typical serious poses I do when my brother shoots my photos. As you can see…we had a little bit of fun 😉 My black and white color blocked button down top was from a little boutique on Long Island, but I found a great top from Karen Kane here (one of my favorite designers) that looks just like this one! My black skater skirt with faux leather trim is from Kohls I believe but I found a similar one from Nordstrom here. I love a simple black skater skirt for fall…they can be dressed up or down and are flattering on almost everyone!My black reptile tote is from Last Call Neiman Marcus…I’ve been wearing it well before fall began and it will never go out of style…black is always in! I love these nude lace up booties that the team at Pink Basis so nicely sent me! Unfortunately they are no longer available, but I found a similar alternative from Nine West at around the same price point. Once again rocking my favorite Kendra Scott ring from the Reward Style NYFW party…isn’t it gorgeous…I’m a bit obsessed <3Now for a fabulous outfit out take…cue laughter…I was celebrating my love for blogging…or Sarah was telling a really funny joke…either or this happened.

NYFW Day Two Day Time Look:

Happy Wednesday Loves! Finally sharing my NYFW diary part 2 from my day two adventures at NYFW! It was a busy day…there was the Storefront X RePop Room Brunch where I stopped by to see my friend Marrin Costello and her fabulous jewels…then I was off to Fashion Shenzen a runway show at Lincoln Center showcasing different Chinese designers and their impeccable designs. After visiting Lincoln Center I was off to the Kendra Scott showroom where I tried on some bling and even got to keep a beauty as well 😉 Lastly, the day wouldn’t be complete without an outfit change for my last event with Simple Skin Care and Caravan Studios at the Carlton Hotel! Wouldn’t be a brunch without starting off with a little green juice…in a shot glass 😉 I love Marrin’s pieces they are gorgeous with the druszy’s…I’m slightly obsessed. I actually connected with Marrin Costello through my blogger gal pal Cara…that’s what I love about blogging…networking and always meeting new people and making new friends, especially friends that are talented jewelry designers 😉 Next up Fashion Shenzen. They had a show at Lincoln Center and a presentation at the Hudson. Personally, while I love a classic runway show…for blogging purposes, presentations are so much nicer to snap pictures at! After some fashion came some more bling at the Kendra Scott showroom. At the Reward Style party, Kendra Scott gifted bloggers this gorgeous druszy ring and invited us to their showroom the next day for some more sparkle…naturally I had to take a photo of my bling. After getting blinged out it was time for an outfit change and I was off to the Caravan and Simply Skin Care party that took place in the penthouse of the Carlton Hotel on….Madison Avenue, Missy made her way back to Madison ;)!
