A little 90s

Hi guys!

While spending some time on the East Coast with family I decided to shoot this Free People Rolling Stones t-shirt dress on the CT shoreline. We had some unusually warm January weather and my family and I went to our favorite local beach for a walk. I styled this awesome t-shirt dress with red moto jacket from Zara (no longer avail but this Blank NYC one is amazing) and my Spanx black vegan leather leggings, and combat boots.
Everyone loves a little grunge sometimes, styled in the right way. I’m loving all the combat boots everywhere. These look like the Givenchy ones but are a dupe from a little boutique in Paris. I recently bought a similar pair with buckles and a small heel in white, too. Check out my LIKEtoKNOW.it page for this look linked with alternative price point dupes as well as the actual items!

Who said staying warm couldn’t look cute, too! This look would also pair well with coat and a beanie.

Sparkle Holidaze

Hi there! 

Happy New Year! We rang in the New Year 2019 and I’m so grateful for what this year will bring and all that happened in 2018 for me... it was truly a monumental year and I never say that. There’s more details as to why that was on my saved story on my Instagram profile!

Above is the look I wore to a fun New Years party in Los Angeles (my new home)! It’s still so strange to say that he he. But even if we are no longer in the holidays we can still sparkle for a night out, so I wanted to feature this look now available at Topshop. The top is Topshop (psst the petite one is on sale)! And the pants are Nordstrom (Blank NYC jeans but I don’t think this specific pair is still available). My booties are H&M and the little matching clutch is Tory Burch (an oldie but goodie). 

Have a fabulous night out! You don’t need the holidays to step out and have some fun. I love making future plans by buying tickets ahead of time and knowing I have that night out to look forward to. I have musical and concert tickets coming up that I’m so excited to go to!

Tartan & Velvet Christmas

Hi guys!

Merry (almost) Christmas! How do you like to prepare for the holidays? No matter what you celebrate, I always love how this time of year brings togetherness amongst loved ones and a joy and spirit of giving.  

In terms of wardrobe I always have in mind Nobel fabrics like velvet and leather (in my case vegan leather) and prints that feel Christmassy like tartan plaid! My look here getting ready for the holiday is vegan leather moto pants by H&M, tartan oxford shirt by JCrew, a vintage black velvet blazer, and Aldo riding boots! Finally, since fashion to me is always fun and never too fussy I just did simple makeup and a festive red lip, plenty of highlighter for a warm glow, and messy natural hair with some texturing cream for that French not-trying-too-hard feel. My dark red nails add an edge to the traditional red holiday nail look too.

I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday season! Next week I’ll be talking about a couple fun New Years look ideas, so stay tuned for that!

Boho Bombers for Spring

  

Wearing my Spell Designs blue skies bomber, Rebecca Minkoff mini love Crossbody with her pink embroidered guitar strap, H&M vegan leather moto pants and platform lace-up booties.  

Hi there!

I’m obsessed with the bomber jacket trend (I almost like it more than my moto jacket craze which will never get old)! I’m feeling this Spell Designs bomber jacket because it has a floral pattern to make it a little boho, and it’s very lightweight so it can be worn under a jacket or as a thin layer over a tank only. I styled it with H&M vegan leather moto pants and lace-up platform booties to give it a little edge, as well as my Rebecca Minkoff mini love Crossbody bag with RM embroidered guitar strap.  

As always I favor a bohemian rock and roll look, but this one is updated and so easy and fun to wear. 

Happy (almost) Spring!

Vintage Band Tee Leather & Metallics

Hi there! 

This week is devoted to the classic Rock & Roll band tee. I worked with designer Tasch on this post. I just love her stuff since she repurposes a classic band tee. In this look she has added holes and burnt others into the oversized black Nirvana tee I’m wearing. I styled it with my Blank NYC vegan leather leggings, H&M metallic ankle booties and Bebe leather moto jacket, finishing it off with my new YSL medium Kate purse in all black. 

I love the way a band tee can add edge to any outfit, and since this t-shirt is oversized I wanted to pair it with a legging and jacket and add an ankle boot. The all black edge gets funky with a metallic boot which is a huge trend at the moment. This classic yet edgy look is timeless. 

Hope you are having a groovy weekend!

Cold Shoulders & Ruffles

 

Hi there! 

Wondering what to wear this holiday season? I’ve got you covered. A cold shoulder sweater like this one from Express in fall’s hottest color (vibrant red), and with bell sleeves is perfectly festive yet comfortable. I styled this sweater with my vegan leather skinnies from Nordstrom by Blank NYC and a vintage black double strap suede pump. I finished off the look with my Rebecca Minkoff blush pink studded drawstring bucket bag. 

The holiday season is among us, let’s get festive!

Vegan Leather, Faux Suede & Winter Neutrals

In my Catherine Malandrino faux suede grey over the knee boots, Nordstrom vegan leather skinny jeans, white Free People sweater (now on sale), and Valentino rock stud bag at the movies. Photography by Francisco Graciano. 

Hi there, 

 I recently purchased some gorgeous things on the Nordstrom site, including the outfit in this post. I scored the Catherine Malandrino thigh high faux suede grey boots at a Nordstrom Rack.  The link here is for the black ones but the grey are available at Nordstrom Rack and they were a steal! I went with black and neutrals for this look beginning with the grey boots, and I paired the boots with my new Hue leatherette (aka vegan leather) black leggings from Nordstrom online as well as a Free People winter white sweater tunic with bell sleeves which is now on sale. It can be worn with any tank underneath and it so comfortable, cozy, and stylish. 

In the winter I love to be warm and cozy as well as stylish, and this look utilizes different textures but with a dressy, elegant finish. The faux leather leggings even have a warm fuzzy lining inside too! Perfect for a date night like my recent date night to the movies with Francisco, when we went to see La La Land. I also wore my fuzzy free people winter white scarf for more layering and texture and my black long puffy coat from Guess. 

I hope you're staying warm, cozy, and stylish!
