I put away all my black clothing for a few days to bring you an all white everything outfit.
End of Summer vibes…

Stripes and White Denim
…and lots of chains in this look. I pulled my hair back, tied up my shirt and was ready for this week’s heat wave alongside my vintage Gucci bag; a shopper makes it so much easier to carry around your personal belongings. You can do like Fabolous does, and just throw it in the bag!
How are you all handling the heat in the N Y C? Do you keep cool in denim like I do?

Go Shorty
…it’s my birthday (week)! Thank you all so much for the birthday shout outs. I’m really looking forward to my 30’s!
I represented my day in a number 22 jersey (my birthday is June 22nd), a pair of short shorts, killer heels, red lips and red hair!
Weekend is around the corner!

I let my hair do all the talking this weekend, wearing a black bodycon dress, my season after season booties and a pop of white to welcome Summer!
What do you think of my new look? 🙂

Rough Road
There’s a lot of construction going on in the city, but I always seem to get my way through it -in a fashionable manner. Bodycon isn’t always the answer, but black definitely is when it’s hot and sweaty outside.
For those cooler times of the day I like to wear a classic denim jacket to keep just that -cool. You can always find a perfect timeless piece like this one at the Gap and you know you’ll have it for a long time.
Do you run back to black as much as I do all year round?
What are your favorite throwback outfits?

Peaches and Cream
They don’t call it Transformation Tuesday for nothing. The weather went from gloomy to beautiful instantly yesterday, I had no choice but to dress for the better part of it. I took a risk with cream colored flared pants. Normally a higher waist and a darker shade are much more flattering, but hey you only live once! I went with same color palette in a vintage snakeskin print semi-cropped bustier that only showed a tiny bit of skin and the nude favorite that go with everything. No black in sight. I suited it off with a DVF jacket. The rest of my lunch break I spent strolling through the streets of SOHO with my sister. Even went into Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams home store for inspiration. In love with their Bastille Chair!
How do you think I did with a light monochromatic look?
Will you ladies be wearing cropped tops this Spring/Summer?
Happy Hump Day! Happy Earth Day AND Happy Administrative Professionals Day!

Loosened Up My Buttons
I’m baaaaack! A casual look is the best way to welcome the warmer temperatures, albeit temporary.
I’m passing by quickly today with a 5 piece suit: button down shirt, boyfriend jeans, ankle strap shoes, a cuff bracelet and stud earrings that I recently purchased at the LOFT. I left my button down shirt with an extra button undone to sweeten up my boyfriend jeans. Normally I wear dainty necklaces to distract from the open buttons, but this time I let my still going strong tan shine through. Wearing my jeans cuffed or frayed (which I did to these Levi’s pair) at the bottom with these Rebecca Minkoff ankle strap shoes gives the look a little more character. I think this may be my go to off duty look, what do you think?
What is your off duty look? How do you wear your button downs?
