Sizzling Summer in a Slip Dress

Last week’s post was all about the slip skirt, but now that degrees are hitting 90 in New York City, I’m back to loving the slip dress – light, luxe and undeniably sexy. Even if you’re not a certifiable fashion girl, you should own a slip dress (or three), and here are a few good…

Trend Alert: Neon

Neons dominated the Spring 2019 runways with green, yellow and pink taking center stage, and now that summer is officially upon us, it’s time to give the neon trend a try. The neon trend has been kicking around since Fall 2018, but I completely understand that you may not have been inclined to sport neon…

Summer Suiting: The Gingham Print Suit

Who said you have to shed your power suits for Summer? For my fellow power suit obsessed (e.g. here, here and here) or those whose work attire requires a jacket for the office, I am dedicated to reinventing and finding refreshing ways to wear suits all seasons. Earlier this Spring, to satiate my desire to…

Trend Alert: Bike Shorts

If wearing leggings beyond the gym weren’t controversial enough, what about their cropped counterpart – the bike short? Since last summer, bike shorts have been a bit of a thing (at least according to fashion girls), but given their likely passing popularity, I wasn’t quite ready to commit to the trend. Fast forward a few…

Fringe Benefits

The Spring/Summer 2019 runways told us to expect fringe to make a major comeback and now that the season’s finally arrived, it’s officially time to try out one of this season’s hottest trends. Whether as a subtle embellishment, like a pair of glitzy crystal fringe earrings or a beaded fringe evening bag, or as a…

Paris in New York

If you’re also a hopeless romantic, then you’ve found yourself daydreaming of  walks across Le Pont Alexandre III on a misty day or gazing up at a sparkling La Tour Eiffel at night.  A quick flight to Paris is not always an option, so I often look for ways to experience a bit of Paris…

Power Suits Get Bolder: Blue Double Breasted Pantsuit, Top Handle Prada Bag, YSL Black Cat Eye Sunglasses and Schutz Single Strap Heels

Pant suit season is back and this lady loves serving up some female power vibes. If there is any trend to try this Fall, it’s definitely the pantsuit…and we’re not talking about those dowdy ones that your state legislators or firm partners have been sporting since the mid-90’s without update or tailoring, but POWER PANTSUITS…

Jumpsuits for All Seasons: Polka Dot Jumpsuit, Resin Rectangular Earrings, Schutz Gold Block Heel Sandals, Prada Mini Satchel Bag and YSL Kate Sunglasses

I can’t think of a better way to commemorate the second to last day of Milan Fashion Week than with my favorite look from our trip to this magical city captured in front of my beloved Duomo di Milano. I was so enamored with the Duomo and the piazza that I would stop by multiple…

Trend Alert: Tie Front Crop Top

The Tie Front Crop Top is the IT GIRL trend item of the Summer … and we all know, I’m not one to pass up a trend. From long sleeves to sleeveless, floral patterned to striped, tie front crop tops come in endless variations, but they are not, I admit, the easiest trend to wear…

Trend Alert: Animal Prints

As a Brooklyn native, I’m naturally partial to animal prints – especially leopard – but the runways – from Tom Ford to Victoria Beckham to DVF – have officially made them a 2018 Trend. Animal prints will likely peak this Fall/Winter, but why not get ahead of the trend and start indulging your animal instincts…

Trend Alert: Tie-Front Everything

From tops to dresses to jumpsuits, TIE-FRONT IS THE SILHOUETTE OF THE SEASON. I admit, tie-front pieces can be a little tricky  to wear (expect to go braless or master your stickies) and you’ll have to be willing to show a little extra skin (yes, we’re talking serious midriff exposure) to pull off the look,…

Festival Flare: Black Button Through Dress, Classic Denim Jacket, Studded Western Belt, Embroidered Minaudiere, Lace Up Heeled Sandals, Red Retro Sunglasses and Silvertone Tassel Earrings

It’s Festival Season! Although I didn’t make it to Coachella this past month, I didn’t let that stop me from being inspired by festival styles.  Of course, the Saturday night NYC version must be adapted to the environment, i.e. you won’t catch me with double buns wearing a crocheted one-piece in the middle of Manhattan, but…
