For what seemed like an eternity (especially for poor Bugsy), I spent endless hours debating and comparing the most negligible difference in paint colors, meeting with vendors, visiting Home Goods, trolling Wayfair and Overstock in order to get our apartment upgrade underway. We had decided to stay away from any major construction (no demo and…

Trend Alert: The Teddy Bear Coat
What do you ask is the “Teddy Bear Coat”? Well, it’s this season’s IT COAT and must have for ensuring that your winter style is totally insta/pinterest-worthy. A cousin of your beloved faux fur and perhaps a more subtle and versatile version of last year’s must have leopard coat, the super soft and fluffy Teddy Bear…
Unexpected Pairings: Checked Double-Breasted Oversized Blazer, Black Silk Cami, Black Leather Skinnies, Gray Suede Point Toe Pumps, Grey Round Bag and Gold Pendant Earrings
For a recent Thursday night out for some casual bites and drinks, I wanted to wear something post work appropriate, but with a little edge. After all, Thursday is practically the weekend, and I can’t think of any good reason to hold out on weekend worthy looks for any longer than is necessary. To…
Winter Prep: Striped Sweater with Flared Sleeves, Raw Hem Boyfriend Jeans, Green Ring Belt, Tweed A-Line Blazer, Black Backpack and Sergio Rossi Combat Platform Boots
As I prep for another year, I’ve been slowly cultivating a list of New Year goals. Among too many is my resolve to push the limits with my own style – to cultivate looks that are less predictable, less on trend (yes, I said it) and challenging myself to wear silhouettes that I don’t often…
Parisian Holiday: Caramel Beret, Sienna Crochet Knit Top, Black Pleated Midi, Gucci Web Belt with Double GG Buckle, Patent Stiletto Pumps, Black Cape and Gucci Padlock Supreme Bag
Lately, I’ve been challenging myself to create looks with pieces I already own (no easy feat for a gal who loves buying all the new trend items). Creating something new, fresh and still on trend with older pieces can be challenging, but succeeding is not only fun (at least for me), but a testament to…
Monochromatic Holiday: Heather Gray Two-Piece Dress, Velvet Navy Over-the-Knee Boots, Two-Tone Cocoon Coat, Chanel Vintage Earrings and Brooch, and Slate Round Double Handle Bag
I love a classic holiday look – red, green or sparkles. But, this season, I’ve tried to be more inventive in my interpretation of festive and relied a bit more on texture and tone to create looks that are more modern. For a mid-week, post-work, holiday dinner, I decided to create a monochromatic silver/gray toned look. During NYFW SS18, I attended an awesome event…
Floral Fusion: Cold Shoulder Floral Midi Dress, Chanel Classic Flap Bag, Black Single Strap Suede Heels, Nandel Paris Gold Cuff Bracelet
A few weekends ago, cousin SX (now SM) celebrated her recent nuptials to MH at a beautiful traditional Chinese Wedding banquet dinner and I was torn about what to wear. Typically, female guests, especially those closest to the bride and groom, wear cheongsam or qipao to such formal affairs, but I decided to go for something a…
Trend Alert: The Beret
Yes, I know…berets have been widely worn since the early 19th century, but right now, they are totally on trend and your fall must-have accessory (say goodbye, at least for this season, to those wide brimmed fedoras). Just about every one of your favorite celebrities and street style stars have been spotted wearing this classic accessory…
Shades of Gray: Slouchy Cable Knit Sweater, Ribbed Knit Pencil Skirt with Button Detail, Open Front A-Line Blazer, Prada Camera Bag and Silver Stiletto Ankle Boots
Day 2 of NYFW started early with morning shows and I wanted to be sure that my first outfit could take me through the greater part of the day. To create a versatile look, I layered a number of classic neutral pieces that could be taken off or worn together. Here’s how I put together…
Fall Fringe: Cashmere Suede Fringed Jacket, Black Lace Detail Cami, Black Leather Skirt, Padlock GG Supreme Shoulder Bag, Missoma London Necklaces and Black Suede Block Heel Ankle Booties
I am not complaining about 70 degree weather in October, but Fall has had a surprisingly slow start. Luckily, warmer temps mean staving off tights season for just a tiny bit longer and I was excited to put together a look for Night 2 of NYFW that incorporated some of the best Fall/Winter trends without having…
A Twist on Classics: White Crossover Off-the-Shoulder Button Down Top, High Waist Denim Pencil Skirt, Cap Toe Slingbacks, Red Tassel Earrings, Cat Eye Sunglasses and Black Satchel
Who said that errands can’t be done in style? A major apartment upgrade is underway (so excited) and I’ve been running all over NYC picking out art, furniture, fixtures, paint, etc. So, for a few appointments last weekend, I decided to leave the usual leggings and sneaks combo at home and put on something a…
Military Gold: Blue Leather Jacket with Military Details, Pink Silk Top, Floral Pencil Skirt, PINKO Love Bag, McQueen Black Double Bridge Sunglasses and Large Gold Hoops
The arrival of Fall temperatures also means leather jacket season and I could not wait to wear the most gorgeous PINKO military inspired leather jacket for a late weekend lunch with the girls. A few weeks ago, we talked about power dressing on the blog and what exudes power like military inspired details? For this look, I…
