Faux Fur Vest

I have been lusting for this vest for a few months now and my mom surprised me with it for Christmas! I love the mixture of purple and black faux fur on the mid-thigh silhouette. I also love that it's not entirely fur. I find that fur really engulfs you if you don't carry yourself in a very sophisticated I-rule-the-world kind of manner. I want to wear the fur, not the fur to wear me. I thought it would also be fun to match it with my...

Goodbye 2013 Trends! You Won't Be Missed!

2013 has been a year of some interesting (to put it politely) trends. I think I've rejected more of the popular trends this year than in the past and gladly so. A lot of the trend inspiration in the past year was drawn from the 90s, which was definitely not a decade of great style. Have you ever looked at your childhood photos from the 90s and cringed? Well, that's what you're going to do in 10-20 years when you look at your photos from 2013. Let's...

Shoe Crush Saturday: Jean Michel Cazabat Loafers

My inner six-year-old is tugging on mommy's pant leg begging her to buy me these Jean Michel Cazabat sequined leather loafers. I can't remember a time when I didn't love anything pink and sparkly and these shoes are certainly no exception. These sparkly pink loafers instantly caught my eye amidst the hours I spend online "window" shopping. There's nothing I don't love about these shoes other than that I don't own them yet. I love the fuchsia shade,...

Merry Christmas!

Sorry I've been totally MIA this week - I'm on vacation in Woodstock. For all of you out there that celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends, and food! One of my favorite holiday traditions, even though I don't actually celebrate Christmas, is going to Woodstock with my entire extended family and watching Santa come to town. I can't imagine a Christmas not in Woodstock. Everything here in the catskills is...

Pop of Black

I'm so sick of wearing black all the time. I can't remember ever wearing black as much I do now that I have a big-girl job. Just because I'm in the working world, doesn't mean my outfits have to be monotone. Today I refreshingly switched it up. The only black I'm sporting is my shoes. It was warm enough to wear ripped jeans so I paired the loose boyfriend pair with a more fitted bright green shirt and a delicate, silver, silk vest. I...

Shoe Crush Saturday: Sergio Rossi Closed-toe Slip Ons

Damn, these shoes are so hot. These Sergio Rossi pumps are the perfect finishing touch to any holiday look. If you can manage to walk in them, the 4.5" heel will make your legs look killer. The pointed toe will also elongate your legs. I am obsessed with the metaic blue color, which is certainly unique compared to the standard black patent leather winter heel. Rock out in these shoes for the holidays, especially NYE. Even make them your go-to party...

All That Glitters is Gold... Or Maybe Silver

It's clearly been a week of fun tights for me. I think I'm more obsessed with these than the metallic ones I wore the other day. These are so perfect for the holidays. They scream holiday spirit. Since I won't be at work all next week, I wanted to dress for the holidays today. This is such an easy and versatile holiday look. My cozy winter white angora sweater, flared skirt, sparkly tights, and colorful accessories make it a...

Save Loehmann's

If you know me personally, you know I am OBSESSED with Loehmann's. It's my go-to store for everything and the reason I can't pay full retail price for practically anything. Most of my wardrobe including some very high end pieces such as Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, and Helmut Lang, are from Loehmann's and I wouldn't even have enough clothes for  a style blog without it. Well, I just found out that Loehmann's is bankrupt and closing down. Imagine the sadness and panic going on in my head right now. Me without Loehmann's is like a car without...

Last Minute Gifts

If you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet, well, you're not too late. Honestly, Black Friday sales are nothing compared to the sales the week before Christmas. Yes, stores are picked over and you might not get your top picks, but you'll definitely save a lot of money, which I personally think is really important since it's the most expensive time of the year. You have one week left to snag some great items for your family and friends at some...

Navy + Black

Navy and black, once seen as a fashion faux pas as far as color combinations go, is now a smart style choice. Don't overdo it with when you're sporting this color combo. I would recommend adding one or two more colors to your outfit to make it more cohesive. Navy can be mistaken for black if it's dark enough and you never want to look like you mismatched blacks (that would give me a bigger heart attack than all those people claiming...

Liquid Metallic

"Liquid metallic." That's what American Apparel calls my tights. I was a little hesitant to wear these when my mom bought them for me for Chanukah (because she knows metallics are in thanks to me), but I'm glad I didn't make her return them because once they stretched they were subtle enough for me to wear, but still bold enough to make a metallic statement. I wanted to really use how fun these tights are to play up my outfit....
