One of my favorite aspects of traveling is the ability to collect unique jewelry and clothing pieces to introduce into my wardrobe. Not only do they become a memento from travel, but they are often different from anything I would find at home. While exploring Varenna on a rainy day, I came upon the loveliest…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Spring Florals: Floral Jumpsuit, Powder Blue Heeled Mules, Pinko Love Bag with Scarf Detail and Pearl Tassel Drop Earrings
Spring has finally sprung in NYC and this gal couldn’t be more excited! Rooftop drinks, outdoor seating, spring/summer soirees, weekends in the park and the list goes on and on… Earlier this week, I met up with a few of my favorite bloggers for Nudwear’s showcase of their new swim and loungewear collection at the…
Trend Alert: The Wide Leg Trouser
This Spring, the super wide-leg trouser is the go-to pant silhouette. Finally, a refreshing change from the super skinny pant silhouette, which I find so difficult to pull off due to my not so skinny, but rather athletic legs. Back in the day, circa late 90’s/early 2000’s, I think these babies were better known as…
Pajama Party: Silk Pajama Shirt, Skinny Black Trousers, Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket, Slip On Smoking Shoes, and Burgundy Wide Brim Fedora
I can’t remember the last time I tried to pass on jammies as outside clothing (other than on my weekend trips to Duane Reade), but who am I to stand in the way of a fashion trend that promotes comfort? [Much like my obsession with the athleisure trend]. I’ll be the first to admit…
Leopard Lovin’: Faux Fur Leopard Coat, Oversized White Short-Sleeve Button-Down, High Waist Skinny Trousers, Black Suede Platform Booties, Black Leather Bucket Bag
A few weekends ago, I met up with the girls for dinner at one of our fave tapas bars, Sala One Nine (amazing to think that I’ve been coming here since my NYU college days), for our monthly standing date and a little late birthday toasting for our JY. Since I was heading over straight from the…
Sneaker Sophisticate: Grey Mock Neck Knit Mini Dress, Burberry Trench Coat, Adidas Superstar Shoes, Nude Quilted Crossbody and Blue Mirrored Sunglasses
For weekend errands that included meeting up with friends (all the way downtown) to a little retail therapy (all the way uptown), I wanted a stylish, but relaxed look that could take me from the bank to bloomies, effortlessly. Two unexpected, but very welcome trends as of late are the “sneaker” (check out my previous…
