Casual Meets Sparkle

January 9, 2014

3 Comments

Leave it up to me to dress up an otherwise ordinary outfit with some brightly colored accessories to make a statement. There is something I love about adding a little glitz and glam to a casual outfit that calls for some glances. This outfit is one of those looks!

I scored this gray H&M sweater for $10…on clearance right before Christmas…yes people a $10 oversized sweater is pretty much a little slice of heaven to me! Naturally oversized sweaters look great with simple leggings like I’m wearing, but I have this thing for adding a little extra something weather it be a blazer, cardigan or in this case a denim vest.

Typically winter is a time for quilted puffer vests or faux fur vests (which if you’ve seen previous posts you know I certainly wear a lot of), but why not break the mold and go for denim…yes the whole point of a vest is a little extra warmth, but with an already warm and cozy sweater I think it’s just fine to go for a fashionable look and rock a little denim in the winter! It’s always a smart idea to think and dress outside the box!

As with every look, it’s all about the accessories. These Old Navy booties have lasted me 2 years of harsh weather conditions and are still as fabulous as the day I bought them. The color goes with practically everything and they are super comfortable! To add to the casual, laid back look, I went for a mini satchel cross-body bag from Rebecca Minkoff. The rose gold color adds a little extra glam to any outfit and it has enough room to fit all the essentials and lays perfectly.

Last but not least, my favorite part of this look…this H&M stunning necklace. I got this on clearance back in the spring and every time I wear it I cause a stir! It’s huge, sparkly and simply amazing! Adding a statement necklace to any ensemble adds a little extra ‘oomph’ that every fashionista desires!

A Splash Of Color

January 6, 2014

Nothing sucks more than a dreary, rainy day in NYC…it totally brings down your mood, puddles everywhere and usually an excuse to dress cozy and warm rather than fun and flirty. So in order to brighten up on this rainy day I bring you some color inspiration thanks to Karen Kane, Nine West and Hue jeggings.

Yes, you caught me, I’m not rocking this colorful ensemble today…simply for the sole fact that I think if I wore this today the ladies in my office would think I had my seasons mixed up, but still I try to always incorporate color into my everyday outfits! This outfit however I love! I spotted this adorable Karen Kane hot pink moto vest on their website and had to have it…because what girl doesn’t like sporting a little pink every now and again?!

I always try to break up the color with some darker, neutral tones, like these great olive colored jeggings from Hue. If you haven’t tried jeggings or Hue…your seriously missing out on life. They fit any figure like a glove and are reasonably priced. Best part? They come in numerous styles, textures, colors and lengths…making them literally perfect for any girl! They are great to move around in whether it’s at the office, at a club…or simply running around town on a busy day.

Another part I love about this outfit? These Nine West gray pumps with neon pick lining and sole. Something I love about all my clothes, shoes and accessories, is that they all have a little story behind them…these babies are no exception. I scored these limited edition ‘Cameron Silver for Nine West‘ pumps for FREE..yes people free, during there Rockefeller Center store re-launch. I was one of the first 9 people at the store when they opened and received a $100 Nine West gift card which of course I used to purchase hot pink shoes because seriously when else does an opportunity arise to score hot pink pumps for free? Uhh never! Also, Cameron, the designer is incredibly social on social media…making me love him even more every time I wear and post his fabulous shoes!

Anyways, I’m off to another busy day at the FFANY office! Don’t let the rain get ya down and shop my ‘Splash Of Color’ look below 🙂

A Bit of Blue & D’Orsay

November 8, 2013

TGIF! I don’t know about you but I am thrilled its Friday and that means time for a 3 day weekend (since Monday is Veterans Day)!

Today’s outfit once again breaks fashion rules. In the spirit of wearing white after Labor Day, I chose to rock these white ‘Rockstar’ skinnies from Old Navy. I love the fit of these, not to mention the fact that they only cost me $6 on clearance!

A little piece of advice, always stock up on spring and summer clothes in the fall and winter season and vice versa. The sweater I’m wearing today I got at Old Navy two summers ago for $10…yes a total steal.

I pulled the look together with casual black D’Orsay flats from the Nine West outlet (see link below for identical ones from Chinese Laundry at Nordstrom).

To top it all off I rocked my new cobalt blue quilted leather bag I got on sale at Lord & Taylor! (Stay tuned for a lust vs. must post featuring the bag that inspired this purchase!)

Now I’m off to another day in the chilly big apple!

Happy Friday Fashion Lovers!
