Star-Spangled Style

The 4th of July is just 5 days away and maybe it’s all of the World Cup fever that has me wanting to shout USA! Or maybe it is a verifiable excuse to coordinate some red, white and blue in my wardrobe or even better, hightail it out of the office for a very short week. I think I’ll go for the latter. Just a forewarning that I received from the weather man, this is going to be a very hot and humid week. And when it gets hot, my brain feels like fried cheese. I tend to call it the summer blues, where the color du jour is blue and loads of comfy, casual, and cool clothing reigns supreme, and the spectacular outfits that I love... Read More

Trench Dressing

New York in the summertime. Ahhh.. the dog days. The weather is usually sunny with a chance of thunderstorms at any given second and that’s where we will remain until September. It’s always a conundrum. One of my favorite pieces that sort of solve this issue not to worry about my hair, and this lightweight denim trench. It is the perfect throw on for summer showers or chilly beach nights.

Going Solo

I just unpacked from my weekend trip oversees, and I am proud to say that I brought nothing but a few slips of lingerie, shorts, a blazer, a pair of jeans, and my daughter. Before I departed, I vowed to take nothing but what I could fit in my carry-on bag, and when I arrived, I still found that there was no reason to pack anything other than white sneakers and a pair of heels. As far as accoutrements go, I only packed one earring and one necklace to lighten my load. A single oversized earring? Yes, and the best part was when I had a conversation with somebody, they immediately stared at my ear and asked if I was missing something. “Yes, I have one earring on... Read More

Get the Look for Less

During this crazy hot weather we have been having, all I want to do is streamline my life and make getting dressed easy and breezy. No-fuss dressing is my motto for the summer months. Style doesn’t have to be expensive. With this in mind, here is a sample of what I wore the other day including some of my favorite brands like Asos, Zara, Mango, and Topshop, now on sale!, hitting my top list. Of course, adding an accessory like these slides below and a cool earring is my way to personalize it even more. Hit the plus signs on the photo to shop the look right to your doorstep. More on this coming soon. Happy Shopping!   Photography: Lydia Hudgens

Travel Secrets

Quite the busy bee, I am jetting off to Europe for a few days this week with a fun-packed itinerary. It will be a non-stop trip with lots to see and do. I am definitely going to make time for some downtime, though, as that is the best way to see a new city. More importantly, I thought it would be a great idea to share which pieces will make it into my suitcase, and some tips for being a chic traveler. Want to know how to be a good traveler? My advice is to pack less stuff and just enjoy the experience. Leave your crap at home, too much stuff ruins trips. I will pack a plain white t-shirt, a pair of my favorite jeans, a... Read More

Statement Sunglasses

Summer is nearly upon us, rain, rain go away!, if the upcoming Father’s Day weekend is nothing else a time to celebrate your dad, but also a marker of many mid-June festivities on the imminent horizon. Did you know on average, men buy new underwear once every seven years? I have trouble every year figuring out what to get Dad, I’m not about to go here, so this year I am getting him a pair of these sunglasses and a Nutribullet. Go Dad. Make us proud. The sun will be shining this weekend, guaranteed by the one and only Weather Channel, wear sunscreen, and unless you are a FBI agent, there’s really no excuse to be sporting a pair of boring sunglasses. I prefer shades that make... Read More

In the Details

I love spring fashion because I am able to revel in the fact that I am in short or no sleeves at all, and don’t have to cover it up with a jacket. Case in point, this Suno ultra-feminine pleated boxy top. Pair this fancy-ass top with a pair of normcore denim digs and by adding some red lipstick to the look, it would serve so many different purposes, whether for work or after-hours. This season, I want to highlight the importance of making one piece stand out from the rest. For my look below, it’s all in the details. I love this top with its pleated peplum hemline, exceedingly low-cut neckline, and stylish duel buttons at the front. And check out this ultimate choker that make... Read More

Out of the Office

I have a love hate relationship with June. On the one hand, it’s my favorite month weather-wise. The days are long, the sun is shining, how nice was this weekend?, and I have the entire summer to look forward to taking up surfing lessons, and relaxing with a book by any body of water that I adopt as mine for the day. On the opposite side of the spectrum, there’s recitals, prom, packing for camp and last-minute trips, graduation and wedding ceremonies, bridal showers, and still managing to keep up with the routine of food shopping, some type of body movement, business meetings, blogging, etc. etc. etc. I know some of you just get what I’m saying, right? Are you with me? Knowing what the... Read More
