How to Elevate Your Basics

With new seasons, come new starts, including opportunities to refresh, update and elevate your wardrobe. Perhaps its a function of getting older and simply having less time and space for highly disposable fast fashion items, but I’ve definitely noted a shift in the way I shop and dress these days. With an eye towards better…

Button-Down Shirt – Two Ways

With a closet full of beautiful clothing, it’s hard to pick favorites. But the ones I love and wear most are undoubtedly the ones that offer versatility. During these warm summer months and as my body continues to evolve, I’ve been loving oversized button down shirts that are light, breezy and versatile. From classic white…

Trend Alert: The Slip Skirt

We’ve all been in love with the slip dress for at least a few seasons, but it’s time to up the versatility with a slip skirt. The skirt version of our beloved silky frock is the current trend to try. Wearable all seasons, dressed-up or down, solid or printed, paired with a cami, sweater, crisp…

Parisian Polka Dot Pretty

At the start of every season, I look for style inspiration to guide the season’s wardrobe. And this Spring/Summer, I was determined to achieve french girl style (especially after binge watching Plan Couer). If you’ve ever been to Paris or anywhere in France, you know exactly what I’m talking about (because you, like I, came…

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…

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…

Sunday Suiting

Power suits aren’t going anywhere in 2019. From oversized to tailored to embellished to neon, the possibilities for dressing powerfully are endless and I’m all about it. For someone who wears some form of suiting almost every day for work, it may be hard to imagine that I’d have any desire to put on a…

The High Waisted Wide Leg Trouser

The key to looking great is understanding your body and how to wear pieces that create the most attractive silhouette. No one’s perfect, but looking beautiful doesn’t require it. For me, being petite (I’m barely 5’2″) and having athletic legs create challenges. Some examples – it’s nearly impossible to buy a pair of pants that…

Spring Transitioning

It’s officially Spring and I couldn’t be happier! Cheers to longer days and warmer temps, but during these early days of Spring, I often find my wardrobe in a place of transition. In an effort to prolong my beloved winter wear and to accommodate fluctuating temps, I’ve been putting together looks that pair cold with…

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…

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…
