Gigi NY






Hooray for Friday and summer getaways...whether you're packing up for a weekend at the beach or jetting off to the island of your dreams efficient packing has become an art.  With space at a premium,  knowing what to bring, where to stash it and how to get the most mileage out of the fewest pieces are a must for a stress free time.  These are the items I take with me when enjoying time away.  Double-duty items that can be dressed up or relaxed down are vacation lifesavers.  This top does exactly that by pairing perfectly with shorts by day or with a maxi skirt at night.  Versatility is key when talking shoes as well.  These wedges can work with shorts and a ruffle tee while brunching and with this dress when heading out for cocktails at sunset.  Don't forget that beauty sleep is still priceless.  A great little sleep mask like this will help block out extraneous light that could disrupt your sleep cycle.  I've linked these and other vacation packing essentials below.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and safe travels ahead!

Cold weather weekends are always great for getting cozy.  Holiday winter weekends are even better!  This past weekend I was feeling festive in NYC among the tree lights sparkling, wide eyes gazing and skaters dancing.  Such a magically wonderful time!  With that in mind I decided to style up the pretty with some warm pieces that are perfect for a sweet skate date.  A super warm coat is a must for staying warm.  It should also be cute and flattering as it will quickly become the focal point of your outfit that night.  This down parka achieves both and is one of my favorites.  This one is really cute as well and won't break the budget (it is Christmas time and gift-giving season after all!).  Cold weather accessories have always been one of my most-loved.  This pom pom hat is so adorable and these arm warmers are just the thing to keep you toasty.  This vest and these mittens are a glam girl's most-wished for and these pink Hunter boots are just.too.cute.  Shop the looks in the links below and let me know your thoughts too!  Happy Monday!

When it comes to closet staples, certain items are classics.  The white shirt and its tarried history is one of those incredible pieces.  Looking back on fashion's decades throughout history, it's always been there in one way or another.  What I'm loving now, are the different shapes and styles it has again taken on.  This equipment blouse is the perfect must-have for your every wardrobe.  It's easy with jeans and heels and can just as quickly be ready for work with great-fitting pencil skirt.  I also would love to see this version styled with a sleek black tuxedo pant and these gorgeous heels.  This snakeskin tote is the perfect accent for this outfit.  A sleeveless version of the white shirt is a major need.  Wear it with a pair of soft, slouchy draped pocket trousers, these shoes and a clutch and you are chic and ready, set, go.  Finally, I can not get enough of this window pane check blouse.  Wear it casual with your favorite boyfriend jeans and your sunnies on the weekend. So cute!

Hope you're having a great week!

PREPPY CHIC

BOHO COOL


My spring wish list is ever evolving, mostly because I'm forever finding more warmer weather must-haves that will add immeasurable amounts of new and now to your closet.  Since sometimes my style can change and vary depending upon the occasion or mood, I put together both some preppy and boho pieces that have caught my eye.  This jacket is adorable and easy to pair with both your broken-in denim, a white tank, a gold bangle and these ankle boots.  You could also put it together with a white ankle jean, red flats and a great tan leather bag.  Perfect.  This floral dress is just so cute.  I think it would look great with these super chic sandals (my latest faves) and this gorgeous bucket bag.  Grab a great floppy and your favorite shades and you're ready for that Saturday in the city.  

Hope your weekend is filled with all the things you love…enjoy!

One of my greatest wishes when it comes to travel is to spend some time in the city of lights.  Paris and the River Seine are a magical must-see of heaven on earth.  The perfect pairing of culture and beauty. Inspired by my friend, Kat Tanita and her latest journey to the European countryside (shop her incredible travel line designed with Gigi New York here), I've put together a collection of some of my favorite Parisian snapshots.  I love how they capture the joy that the mere thought of this city gives me.  When in Paris, one must indulge their sweet tooth with the gorgeous assortment of mouthwatering macarons. I'm not sure which I love more, the taste or all those luscious colors!  The iconic allure of the Eiffel Tower speaks romance in every language.  Dinner with a breathtaking view of it in the distance is on my list of "would love to experience".  The best way to get around and see the sights?  A candy colored Vespa of course!  So European and oh-so very chic.  Naturally, plenty of great shopping would ensue while there but there are also several favorite travel items I'd be bringing with me.  You can shop them below for wherever your traveling heart takes you…

When it comes to wintertime styling, some things are simply classic pairings.  My favorite is the iconic combo of gingham and pearls.  From casual Saturday to demurely dressed up Sundays, this is always a perfect choice.  Personally, I love a great gingham blouse paired with a classic pearl bundled necklace and a glam faux fur vest.  Layered perfection.  Your favorite checkered topper layered under a cozy sweater is another great way to go.  Playfully cuffed sleeves allow for some adorable arm candy to sparkle and shine (this watch and these bracelets here and here - on sale! are a few of my favorites).  Mix and match color accents pull the look together while really making it pop.  This berry shade clutch is just right for doing that.  After all, who doesn't have a bit of a color crush?

Hope you're having a lovely Wednesday and enjoy these chic ways to stay cozy!

I don't know about you girls but when it comes to handbags I find there's always a new style to covet and crave.  Right now that certain one is The Crossbody by Gigi New York.  With styles that range from casual to modern glam, these bags are perfect for so many occasions. This Madison crossbody is the such a classic  in just the right shape and size to throw on while running around town doing errands.  I also love this slightly larger version with its softened edges, exterior zip pocket and python embossed finish.  It also has a detachable strap which makes it easy to convert to a fun evening clutch.  As a long time lover of all thing Hermes, this Elle cross body has such a luxury feel yet is only a small fraction of the price.  Classic yet current it embodies tradition while being effortlessly on trend.  Yes , it's on my wish list this holiday.  As if having all these gorgeous options for the perfect bag to suit your style wasn't enough, every Gigi bag can be personally monogrammed making it uniquely your own.  It doesn't get much more well suited than that.  Which style is your favorite?

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for sharing the day!

Labor Day Weekend Sales are hot and ready.  So many of my favorite designers and brands are featuring end of summer steals you won't want to miss.  Here are my favorites:



Tory Burch is offering 20% off when you spend $300, 25% off when you spend $500, and 30% off when you spend $750 using the code LABORDAY14. This is the time shop as Tory doesn't often go on sale AND this sale includes EVERYTHING online not just end-of-season savings.  If you want it, this weekend is your chance to get because you won't find a better deal on her items for the rest of the season! So many beautiful, brand new styles are available and definitely worth checking out.


If you've been following me for anytime now, then you likely know I'm a huge fan of Nordstrom's.  The  Nordstrom Labor Day Sale is another one of my picks for the best sale of the weekend and here's why.  Their amazing anniversary sale last month is always the place to score your best pre-season steals.  And now, they've marked down those same designer pieces to even less than the anniversary sale price.  This sweater coat from Vince is a must if you haven't scooped it up yet (it's 33% off!) A hundred pages of other great markdowns are all there for the taking.


Here's a snapshot of other sales going on this weekend:

J.Crew: 40% off final sale, free shipping on all orders over $100
J.Crew Factory: 40-60% off everything
