Hi there!

I'm so sorry for the delay, I've been working on a musical (West Side Story) on the Connecticut shoreline both as performer and dance captain so I've been completely overwhelmed with that lately! 

I was recently in Europe on vacation and wanted to take the next few posts as a style and travel blog of my looks in the cities I visited. In this Parisian look I tried to embody the classic Parisian laid back chic with some up to date trends like embroidery, ripped pants, and the loafer mule Gucci has made so popular.  

I styled a casual Free People embroidered floral black and blue top with a black H&M ripped skinny jean and my recently gifted Aldo loafer mules that I have been living in! I finished the look with my Ray Bans and my Celine Nano Luggage Tote (check out my Poshmark store I've listed my Celine to sell recently as I'm currently downsizing my wardrobe a bit)! 

Mules were super comfortable to sightsee and go to the museums in, and have a cappuccino and croissant on the street... man I love Paris!

Stay tuned for another Paris look next before we venture to Positano then Capri on the Amalfi coast of Italy!

Hi there! 

If you follow my blog IG @carolinasantosread you might remember one of my Spring/Summer NYFW inspirations from the Altuzarra (and others) runway involved the citrus fruit trend for Spring 2017. There's something very Italian about this trend and I wanted to feature it in a resort segment.

The look above is from DressLilly.com and is a complete steal under 20 bucks! Definitely the look for less. I love a two piece like this that can be worn separately or together, but there are so many other ways to wear this trend such as on a top, dress, or just the accessories like a lemon earring with a red dress. It makes me want to cruise up the Amalfi coast in Italy. It's fun, flirty, and fresh instead of just bright colors and florals for Spring. I accessorized it with Jack Rogers sandals and Celine bag. 

I'm currently in Austin, TX on a girls trip and will be blogging some more resortwear next, but of a more Western variety. Stay tuned! 

Xo,

Burberry & a Military Trench

Carolina Santos Read

Hi there!

Did you survive Storm Jonas? I always love walking in New York's Central Park after a snowstorm through the fluffy snow and seeing the glistening trees on a sunny day with blue skies.  Today was that kind of day, a beautiful aftermath of the storm.  Of course this couldn't be done without the right outerwear, and if you're anything like me you want to be properly outfitted without sacrificing style.

I paired my traditional plaid print Burberry rain boots (lined with Hunter fleece boot socks) and matching Burberry scarf with my army green Zara military long pea coat in a trench coat style.  I love the way the army green pairs with the beige tone of the scarf and boots to add to the military color palette.  Also the look and feel of a traditional Burberry plaid is very iconically British as is a military style coat: a likely pair.  I styled it further with my Urban Outfitters black beanie, Ray Ban sunglasses, and beige Celine Nano crossbody bag.  Burberry plaid is a very obvious print so keeping the rest of the outfit neutral and solid colors is key with a more traditional look (especially when I want the print to pop).

I love the details of this coat including the buttons on the back and sleeves as well.  Here you can see my Hunter fleece rain boot liners in red to match my Burberry rain boots. Photography by Francisco Graciano.

I really love the details on the back of this coat!  The buttons on the back of the waist sash as well as the four buttons on each coat sleeve really make this coat unique and traditional in an old military trench coat look.  It's warm and so much fun to wear, and dresses up any outfit.

In the two above photos I wanted to showcase the Celine Nano crossbody bag's details.  I just love the architecture of this bag.  Modern, sophisticated, versatile, yet unique which is why I suppose it's become such an iconic bag.  The large Celine Nano luggage tote is beautiful too, but I like the side strap versatility of the smaller crossbody version. 

Today's blue skies made me want to look up and appreciate this cold yet beautiful winter day!
