If there’s anything that filled the Fall/Winter runways and streets this NYFW, it was statement cuffs and I’m living for it. Statement sleeves have been a thing for a few seasons now, but the focus is now on the cuffs, especially on coats and jackets. In fact, the trend has become so popular that detachable…

Sweater Dress Season
Did someone say sweater weather? There’s a reason why the sweater dress makes a showing every Fall/Winter – its versatility. Dress it up or down, with sneaks or heels, the perfect sweater dress can be worn a million different ways. Luckily, right before the temps took a dive this Winter, I nabbed the perfect knee…
Contemporary Classics: Refreshing Classic Pieces
Even the classics need an occasional refresh to be sure your look stays current. And no, I’m not talking about vintage looks… I’m talking about the mistake we often make by assuming that a clothing item does not require updating by virtue of it being “classic.” You know what and who I’m referring to – that…
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…
Trend Alert: The Sock Boot
I’m OBSESSED with SOCK BOOTS. They’ve been a thing since at least Spring 2017 (cue the Balenciaga Knife Boots hitting the SS17 runway clip) and luckily for me, the trend is still going strong. What are they you ask? Well, exactly what they sound like (I know, we all wish the trend sounded as sexy as…
Cozy at Home: Welcome to Our New Living Room
Welcome to our new living room! I’ve been teasing parts of this space on Instagram over the last few weeks, but am so excited to finally share all of the details with you in this dedicated post (especially since so many of you have been asking about where to purchase various items). This space…
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…
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…
Sweater Weather: Chunky Cable Crop Sweater, Leather Pants, Python Booties and Classic Wool Coat with Fox Collar
This weekend, I couldn’t wait to go to the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show with fellow blogger and total sweetheart, @FashionRoll. Anyone who knows me knows that I A-D-O-R-E vintage costume jewelry and accessories. So, I was really looking forward to nabbing a few classic pieces to add to my ever-growing vintage collection – perhaps another…
