Coming from a private school educational background, I never would’ve thought that I would end up in a skort by CHOICE, especially considering all of the memories I have about the years of being confined to a uniform. That said, things change and style evolves so when I came across this raw edged denim piece, I was instantly intrigued. As it is still Summer and showing off bare legs is pretty much an everyday occurrence, I like finding new pieces that can give me more options outside of standard cut-offs or dresses; and this item did just that. Because this skort is a dark wash, the options were endless in terms of what I could pair it with. After much thought, I decided to accentuate the metallic D-ring belt detail by reaching for a champagne colored blouse. For me, this piece was simple enough to keep the overall look sleek while still adding a bit of drama with the ruffled sleeves. Though I was off to a good start, I still felt like this outfit was missing something and my snake print flats provided the extra bit of interest I was looking for. Mules, and other various forms of “slip-on” footwear, have been extremely popular over the last couple of years and I personally loved how this particular pair tied the look together with the color scheme as well as adding another element of texture. To finish off the ensemble, I decided to accessorize with my aviator readers and nothing else. There were so many focal points to this look, I didn’t feel as though a bag would’ve added anything extra. For me, it’s important to show diversity within the outfits I choose to wear so that getting dressed never feels like a mundane chore. Let me know in the comments below what you do to stay excited about your personal style. Until next time!!

This post is sooooo long overdue, but I’m quite thrilled to finally be back in the groove of things! To be honesty floaty, and what I like to call “grandma dresses” really aren’t my usual style, but this season I have really taken a liking to them! This dress in particular stood out to me because of its daintiness, as well as the super feminine details such as the cold shoulder and open back. Needless to say, the moment I saw that it was on sale, it was MINE! Initially, I wanted to style this garment with some minimal heels and really play up the “girly” vibe. Yet, being the lover of contrast that I am, I decided to go in a different direction and instead throw on my chunky “birkenstock-esque” sandals. I much preferred this look with the flat shoes because it added an element of coolness that in my opinion was needed. In efforts to keep the emphasis on the dress, I accessorized very slightly with simple silver band rings and my aviator sunglasses. I definitely feel like this piece was beyond worth the money and who knows, it may be the start of a new style evolution for me. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see; until next time! 🙂

There’s no better way to accentuate a fresh pedicure in the summer than with an eye catching pair of sandals! The days of basic flip flops are long gone as statement sandals have become one of the most popular accessories when it comes to the warmer months. Take a look at some of the sandals I’ve rounded up below and don’t forget to click the images to shop my picks. Happy shopping!

What initially drew me to this jumpsuit was by far the vibrant tomato color. I’ve seen this hue quite frequently this season and while I try not to make a habit of letting trends dictate my wardrobe, I don’t mind playing into them if I find a piece that I genuinely love. This tailored showstopper is so eye-catching that minimal accessories are all that is needed. From the illusion layering to the peek-a-boo cross back, I couldn’t have been happier with this garment. It’s rare that you find a piece with so many elements that still work together uniformly, without overpowering the item. I chose nude as my accessory color, since I didn’t want to style anything that would take  away from the seamless flow of the ensemble. My love for jumpsuits is continuing to grow, almost as rapidly as my collection itself. I mean seriously, what other piece of clothing can bring sophistication, chic-ness, comfort, and ease all in one look? You can’t beat it, nor should you try! Until next time! 🙂

It brings me great joy to say that this is the first shoot I’ve done since I’ve started my blog that didn’t involve me complaining about being cold lol. We actually shot this on two separate days, first in the lower east side then in midtown, and both were sunny, warm, and beautiful! Though I am still working on my gym routine, I was delighted to show a little midriff with this furry cropped sweater. I pretty much built this ensemble around the “care bear-esque” looking piece and ended up with a look that was somewhat on the icy side. I loved how the different washes of denim and the baby blue top came together to form a monochrome inspired outfit, without being too matchy.
