Black and white are a storied duo and so often the secret of excellent style.  Perfect all year round, these contrasting hues are the headliners of today's color story.  Biased I may be, but nevertheless, I find that French girls do it best by effortlessly combining the two in striking ways that require no further explanation.  Some of the pieces I'm currently coveting to capture the look with are these which, coincidently, would work perfectly for casual or glam days.  These high-waistecd shorts have been on repeat in my closet mostly because they work so well with just about everything I own and are easy to style in so many ways.  A soft, flowy peasant style top and an unexpected pair of shoes like these come together for an easy laid-back look.  I also love the vintage feel of this black and white check shirtdress.  Pair it with a great nude heel, cat eye sunnies and this new silhouette bag from the most-craved Mansur Gavriel.  Here's to the start of a chic week…Happy Monday!

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…

With radiant orchid leading the way towards Shades of Femininity and a fresh breath of spring {we can dream that it's almost here, right?}, I find myself so in love with all things pink.  Specifically, the gorgeous shade of blush.  From chic accessories and girlie beauty treats to crush worthy and covetable wish list wants, the romantic shade seems to be covering the landscape.  Inspired by the happy hue, I've made a list of all my heart's desires…




What color is on your heart at the moment?  Have a happy Monday and thanks so much for stopping by and sharing a smile!

Night & Day

Faux fur comes out to play for night and day.  Two chic looks that embrace one key piece are effortlessly achieved with a few simple tweaks and shiny additions.  Simply start with a favorite staple like your favorite skinnies.  From there you can add a great splash of color like this teal shade that I am so loving right now.  Next, get your daytime look going with sweet adornments like playful stud earrings and a delicate bangle bracelet.  Slip on your favorite ballets, grab your classic big bag and you're out the door.
When night falls, take the look to the next level by trading classic comfort for sexy style by adding patent heels and a shiny chain link purse.  Embellish the look with some sparkle on your wrists and a great pair of stunning stud earrings and you're ready for a glam night out.

So which of these two do you prefer?  When the transition from day to night is this seamless, I say let's just do both.  
Happy Monday girls!

XOXO,
Kelly

A Day Spent in the Country





It's that perfect time of year when the hills are ablaze with gorgeous colors, the air is crisp and apples and pumpkins accessorize many a country lane.  All this Americana leaves me yearning to take a trip to the countryside, style and polish in tow.  These easy pieces make doing so a cinch.  Some might even say it's effortless, when you combine autumnal colors with classic fashion favorites like these seen here.  Grab a cozy sweater to layer under a fun, take me anywhere utility coat and a great classic bag.  Pair these pieces with a do-it-all pair of boots, add a pop of color via a scarf and belt.  Then complete the look with a small bit of classic adornments and you're all set for a perfect fall day of fun!

Have a wonderful weekend!
XOXO

Don't Let a Gray-Day Forecast Shade Your Style...











Neutrals are easy to pair and love the lift that a patterned piece can so easily give to them. Since chilly spring days call for a little cover up, why not take advantage of a fun piece like this leopard print scarf. It keeps the look neutral while taking it beyond basics. A gold accented shoe and accessories take it further to subtly complete the overall look.
