chic Saturday: Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo

Fall is famous for so many things and one of them is chic military inspo. Those great military inspired looks, complete with structured design and shiny button detailing can elevate an outfit from or ordinary to off the page. Another thing I just love about this look is the way it so happily marries menswear with feminine touches (think attention to detail and slim, well-fitted silhouettes) to create a unique sense of chic. This flounced sailor skirt is the perfect example. I'd love it with a body con black or white turtleneck, this newsboy-like cap and these ankle boots. So fresh! I also have my eye on this Isabel Marant striped top and this jacket from Olivia Palermo's Banana Republic collection. (Be sure to check it out! I've linked and shared a few of my favorite pieces above and below.) Pops of color round out the overall look and take it to .

As this post is a nod to my love of our beautiful country on this somber day, I also hope it finds all our friends and loved ones in both Florida and all areas of the southeast safely sheltered as the hurricane proceeds. My thoughts and prayers are with you all...stay safe!!

Sweater weather has officially arrived on the east coast and I could not be happier! Chunky, oversized, turtleneck and lace-up styles are just a few of those I'm currently loving at this moment. The options are endless and the days are handpicked for each one of them. This peek-a-boo back option by Olivia Palermo has definitely caught my eye. The hue, drape and elegance each up the interest factor of this day-to-night must-have. A more casual take in yet the same shade is this lace-up number. Wear it with jeans and sneakers or skinny pants and stilettos. Your day, your way...make it amazing. I'm also thinking of buying a new, soft and cozy caramel cashmere turtleneck which will undoubtedly give me miles of wear. This one looks delicious. You can shop each of these lovelies in the links below along with my other favorites for fall. Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday!

Happy Friday! The weekend's here and I love planning all those great date night outfits and layered fall looks. One of my favorite go-to pieces that never fails is the faux fur vest. There are so many ways to wear it, no wonder I keep falling in love with it over and over again. If you want to get the most out of this piece as possible, try it on in a neutral tone as it plays best with all the pieces you already own. Distressed denim, dark skinnies, jewel-toned bottoms, black leather and even skirts all work with this wear-with-all choice making it the most wallet friendly of options. Black is always a chic and elegant way to go and this one is no exception. I love the long drape of it and where it hits on the body, drawing the eye down and away as it elongates the silhouette. Textured prints and patterns can be fun too. This grey patterned one is easy to wear and works with blacks, winter whites and neutrals. It even looks good over a printed dress giving it extra wow appeal. I'm all about mixing prints and adding in unexpected colors. To me, it's those unique combos and color pops that let my individual style stand out. If you've never worn a faux fur vest before you're going to love giving these a try. Hope you have something fun planned for the weekend…have a lovely Friday!

One of the tried and true looks you'll never fail to see (or get tired of with so many ways to wear it) is the trench coat. Classic and oddly elegant, this piece just says springtime to me. I'm always transported to Paris and London whenever I see it street style. And, when done with a casually fabulous flair, it's surprisingly not all that tricky to pull off. I personally love the basic camel trench paired with the French closet staple aka the white and navy striped tee. A pair of dark denim skinnies, a tiny handbag, round black sunnies and a red ballet skimmer are perfect together. They give just the right amount of jet-set appeal, with all the ease and elegance a girl needs. I also love the idea of a black version too. I could so see it with a sweet pair of black capris, a gingham blouse, cat-eye sunnies and a tote on my shoulder, filled with my favorite fresh blooms. Later, turn that look from day to night by pairing it with your favorite lbd, a chic pair of heels and this gorgeous clutch. Ready, set, sparkle!

Hope you are all enjoying a lovely week!

So many looks are catching my eye right now as I prepare my closet for spring and black and white is definitely one of them. The chic factor alone is enough to have me saying yes to several of the designers takes on the duo. With the cold snap we're enduring, sheer fabrics and playful prints are kinda out of the question. That being the case, black and white are the perfect way to segue into spring without sacrificing warmth right now. This duster coat is the perfect topper over a super soft turtleneck like this one and your favorite black skinnies (these are such a steal). The look also works so beautifully with the perfect nude heel or a fun pair of trainers. Can't believe how much I'm enjoying this pair. A great pea coat is always an easy go-to with an immeasurable pay out. I'm loving this one paired with wide leg white trousers à la Olivia. As the warmer weather approaches, I'm also planning on pairing this cropped white turtleneck with my favorite pleated midi skirt. What are you dying to wear now and wear later?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
