Scarves: The Cold Weather Essential

11 Nov

Scarves are a cold weather staple!  They can be dressed up or down and are not only cozy and functional, but very fashionable too.  From sheer to knit to colorful prints, there are so many scarves to choose from.  Besides my boots, my scarf collection is my favorite part of my Fall/Winter wardrobe.

Baroque Trend! Do You Dare?

11 Sep

Ok ok I’m breaking from my Spring/Summer 2013 NYFW coverage to talk about this trend that is HOT right now for Fall!  The question is…..will you wear it?  I may try it but I’m a bit scared. The baroque style brings so many things to mind……17th century, opulence, luxury, royalty, gold, DRAMA!  With plenty of elaborate details and wild ornamentation this trend can seem difficult to pull off, I think the right person CAN though. Like any fashion lover I would DIE for a Balmain jacket, but that may be the only baroque piece I would wear or is it?????  Hmmmmmm, While I’m not completely closed off to the notion, I’d just have to find the right piece, something that speaks to my heart. A jacket or a clutch???? Maybe a T? or Jeans?

Some inspiration……

All baroque doesn’t have to be gold, these jeans are very wearable.

The Year Round Blazer: White

13 Aug

Looking for a trans-seasonal blazer that will complete any look?  Look no further, a crisp white blazer will be there for you when you’re in fashion need and  can be dressed up or down.  White blazers are just as much a wardrobe essential as are black blazers and can be worn over dresses, with shorts, with jeans(wide leg or skinny) or anything really.  With Fall just around the corner, there is no need to put away your white blazer, this is a great piece that carries over into Winter and beyond.  I know we’ve all heard the saying…. but, no white after Labor day is an outdated fashion rule that’s not only been broken on countless runways in the last decade, but has practically been re written; hello! Winter white. It is A-okay to wear white after labor day!!!!!! 

Below are some great ways to rock a white blazer anytime of the year.

Some blazers for you to shop.

1. Linen blazer($88) 2. Cropped blazer($59) 3. Knit blazer,petite($59) 4. Patterson J. Kincaid blazer($198) 5. Blazer,plus($54.90) available at Nordstrom.

Fall Preview: My Favorite Fall Trends

9 Aug

I couldn’t be more excited about Fall,  it’s my favorite time of year for fashion and I feel like I’m able to really dive into my wardrobe.  I love coats, boots, rich colors, texture, layering, bold accessories, you name it!  Every year I look forward to the upcoming season,  some years are better than others and this year is GREAT!!!!!  I am so excited to shop these amazing looks and even more excited to wear them.  As you know I do not believe in “fashion rules” and I feel like sometimes trends are exactly that; a trend, while other trends last far into the next season and stay in your closet for years (those are my favorite kind).  I also know that certain trends are not for everyone, with that being said I will only be discussing trends that I love in this post!  If you have money to blow, splurge a little but by no means do you need a Fat bank account to be styling’ this Fall.  Let’s get to the fashion!!!!!!!
