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…

Florals for Spring: Tiered Floral Dress, Square Caviar Leather Handbag, Gold Block Heel Sandals and Pearl Accessories
How to Wear Florals This Spring I just can’t get enough florals for Spring and thanks to SS/19 runways (Prada, Louis Vuitton, Versace, etc. etc.), we’ll be seeing an endless variety of floral manifestations this season – from classic roses and rosettes to retro oversized patterns to Hawaiian motifs. In other words, there’s a floral…
Trend Alert: Satin Everything & Embellished Hair Pins
The New York, Paris, Milan and London catwalks have spoken and a few fashion trends are about to take over your insta feed if they haven’t flooded it already. Among my favorite fashion trends for 2019 are satin everything (tops, trousers, dresses, shoes, etc.) and embellishedhair pins & clips. A few other trends have also…
New Year, New LBD
Happy New Year my loves! Welcome to 2019! Is it me or did 2018 fly by? It’s hard to believe we’ve made another trip around the sun, but so glad we did it together. For my first post of the year, I contemplated the usual new year, new me topics (i.e. list of impossible resolutions),…
Pretty Plaid: Sheer Mesh Plaid Turtleneck, Tapered Tailored High-Waist Trousers, Forest Green Wool Blend Double Breasted Coat, Gucci Mini Dionysus Chain Wallet, Metallic Green Pumps, Rhinestone Buckle Belt, and Pearl & Crystal Statement Earrings
The holidays are winding down and so are the festive looks, but there’s no better way to wrap up the season than to share my favorite holiday look that will be cute well after the ball drops. For a recent holiday dinner with colleagues turned friends, I put together my favorite (subtle) holiday look of…
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…
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…
Sweet Boho: Frilly Embroidered Top, Faux Suede A-Line Skort, Saint Laurent Sunglasses, GiGi New York White Embossed Python Crossbody and Schutz Pearl Sandals
Nothing says summer like a classic eyelet dress, skirt or top. No longer relegated to grandma’s table and buffet coverings, eyelets have become more of a trend item. But knowing how to pair and elevate this breathable, lightweight, summer fabric is key to creating a modern, but still playful look. For our last night out…
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,…
Still Sweater Weather: PINKO Varsity Style Cardigan, Lace Trim Bodysuit, Raw Hem Boyfriend Jeans, Orange Croc Belt Bag and White Manolo Blahnik ‘BB’ Pumps
The weather in NYC has been less than ideal lately – rainy and cold for what seems like an eternity (where are you Spring?). So, it’s safe to say, I’m suffering from an episode of seasonal funkiness, but I’m not letting it dampen my style. So, on a recent midweek day off, I tackled a…
