Carpe Diem

Today I play and mix different styles with a relaxed light-weight sweater over top of a printed skirt. (Not to mention, I love the inspiration) I love the way the burnt color brings out the foliage on the skirt. Finishing the look with a nude pointed flat and studded neutral bag. 

Sweater: Banana Republic, Skirt: French Connection (similar at Topshop), Flats: C Label, Bag: Furla (same bag, different color here), Bracelets: Alexis Bittar, Stella & Dot, J.Crew. 

Lunch Date

The past week and a half was a whirlwind and I have never felt so loved! I wore this hot pink DVF dress to my bridesmaids luncheon and felt sassy yet sophisticated. I paired it with a simple nude ankle strap heel and a few baubles for the ultimate in upscale brunch-wear! 

Dress: DVF, Heels: French Connection (slightly different color here), Clutch: Tory Burch (similar here and on SALE!), Bracelets: David Yurman, Alexis Bittar (similar), J.Crew

Bright Brocade

The marrying of mint and gold on these pants is so beautiful and vibrant! Perfection for spring! As to not take away from the pants, I went with a low-key chambray top and a white braided skinny belt.

Ruffles

It's true that you can't go wrong with an LBD, but why not add daring details? I consider the ruffles on the dress a statement piece, but on my shoulders! This is my go-to LBD because of the fitted waist, chic shoulder details and pleated sides that make for one flirtatious frock! (Did I mention the exposed zipper on the back? LOVE!) I'm dying over the ankle strap trend and the sandal pairs so easily with the rest of the look because of the minimalist features, thin ankle strap and the snakeskin back!

#Thankful

If I had to write all of the things I'm thankful for on this blog, you would be reading for days! This is a photo of my stylish sisters and I on Thanksgiving morning!

Feeling Fancy

Brrr! As we say sayonara to any last glimmer of warmer weather, it's time to pull out cold weather essentials such as tweed, tights and quilted Chanel bags (Ok, so you will most likely survive the chill sans Chanel) A high-waisted skirt works because it creates a soft A-line look and cinches just at the right part above your hips. The tulle accents on my top add an element of fun and you can't go wrong with tweed! (I don't care what the critics say, I'm a huge fan of winter white!) Lastly, my vintage Chanel purse was a rare find but probably one of the best purchases I ever made. It adds luxury to any attire and I kind of die every time I switch out purses to this one!

Fall Foliage

The yellow butterflies are fluttering and leaves are slowing descending from the trees, which means Fall has officially arrived! The berry, mustard and ruby colors in the skirt remind me chilly days to come. (PS- A little Chanel can make any girl feel fancy!)
