Sophisticated Summer: Blue Double-Breasted Blazer, Cream Silk Camisole, White Exaggerated Bell Bottom Trousers, Silver Stiletto Ankle Boots and Handle Bag
Whenever Memorial Day plans are being made, I immediately think “white pants” season. So, in preparation for the official kick-off of Summer, I put together a sophisticated summer look for your chicest post-work rooftop soirees and weekend brunches. I’ll be wearing this look to an upcoming De Beers event celebrating the nuptials of Prince Harry…
Anything but Basic: Black Leather Studded Motorcycle Jacket, Feminist Graphic Jersey Tee, Embellished Distressed Gray Jeans, Metallic Point Toe Booties, Chanel Classic Handbag and Classic Back Cat-Eye Sunglasses
There’s nothing more classic and tried than a great pair of jeans and a simple tee, but for a recent fashion event, I wanted something a little less basic and with a bit more personality. I absolutely love that a loose fitting tee whether plain, printed or graphic is totally on trend right now (worn…
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…
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…
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…
Trend Alert: Racing Stripes
The athleisure phenomenon continues and racing stripes are center stage. All over the runways and on your favorite streetstyle stars for the last few seasons, racing stripes are bolder than ever this season – think high contrast, multi-color and prominent – whether running down a pair of wide-leg or crop trousers or across an oversized sweatshirt or jumper….
Falling for Florals: Fit and Flare Silk Floral Mini with Plunge Neckline, Black Leather Biker Jacket, Black Leather Bucket Bag and Silver Stiletto Heel Ankle Boot
There’s nothing like that short moment of weather perfection between Summer and Fall in NYC … warm enough to still be bare legged and coat free, but just cool enough to wear your favorite leather jacket and boots. This weekend, after a very hectic NYFW (stay tuned for all of my NYFW looks and an insider…
Haute Havana: Palm Print Crop Top, Wide Leg Crop Pant, White V-Cut Mules, Gucci Disco Bag, and Gold Accessories
Ever since traveling restrictions were lessened in 2015, I’ve been dreaming about visiting Cuba. In fact, I spent a sizeable chunk of last week furiously searching for Airbnbs in Havana until I resolved that I couldn’t take any chances with Zika. So, in an effort to scratch my Havana itch, I insisted we grab dinner…
Frill Seeker: One Shoulder Striped Ruffle Top, Distressed Denim Shorts, Gucci Web Belt, Tiered Orb Earrings, Round Rattan Bag and Lucite Heels
PARTY BRUNCH…I admit, I don’t frequent it quite as much as I once did (it’s probably for the best), but when I do, I’m reminded of how brilliant the concept is…breakfast goodies alongside flowing champagne and a heavy side of dancing…what’s not to LOVE? So, when talks of party brunchin’ resurfaced lately, I couldn’t wait…
Vintage Vibes: Gold Pleated Dress, Vintage Judith Lieber Medallion Belt, Suede Platform Lace-Up Sandals, Grey Saddle Bag and Beaded Flutter Earrings
It’s not everyday that we get an opportunity to dress to the nines, but every so often (even when the occasion does not require), I like to push the limits of my creativity to see what I can put together, especially with items I already own, to come up with something visually interesting, unique, but…
