black and white





 Hello and happy Monday! A return from the weekend always calls for a bit of something comforting yet stylish to begin the week in a fresh and open state of mind.  And with warmer weather now approaching, I love reaching for some nice, easy layers that look sort of effortless yet chic and you can easily remove as temperatures take off.  

Midi skirts are really what I find to be an underutilized piece that almost every wardrobe could get a lot of use out of.  I'm not sure why they are under the radar as much as they are but in any case, I happen to love them in bold color-blocked patterns like this one I'm styling here.

The black and cream colors are perfect for anytime of year quite honestly but of course, I'm thinking about styling it for spring right now.  So with that being the goal, a classic white t-shirt goes to work perfectly with this look.  I love it tucked in allowing for the waist to be showen off a bit.  And, if there is still as slight chill in the air, then an oversized denim jacket is the just right complement to the overall look.  I happen to think this one works not only with this particular outfit but it would also be one you could wear with some straight, high-waisted white or cream denim as well as shorts if the weather called for it.

As you know by now, I love trainers with just about everything nowadays and this look really works well with them to give it a very laid back and casual sort of feel.  A seek low bun, my favorite sunnies of the moment and some gold hoops would finish the look off in grand style.

Need a look that's a bit more dressed up for a spring or summer occasion?  Then this skirt paired with a lovely black tank and some gorgeous nude heels would easily fit that bill as well.

I do really tend to love when my favorite pieces can work overtime in my closet, don't you?  I hope this has given you some new style inspiration to begin your week.  No matter which look you chose, I know you will wear it well.  Thanks so much for reading.  See you in the next post!

Hello and happy Monday!  I'm not sure about where you are living but I can say for sure that spring has definitely spring here in the NYC area....and I'm loving it.  Now when it comes to any season, for me nothing beats the basics.  Spring is no exception and today I want to take a moment to highlight some of the best spring neutrals I'm enjoying wearing right now.

Despite what was perhaps once true, black is not a winter only staple.  Quite on the contrary, I find all shades of ebony to be year round neutrals that work to accentuate and ultimately tie a look together in such a chic and effortless way.  I love that.

This pair of black denim is one perfect example of why.  I love how flattering the high-waisted cut is and the way I can wear them with just about everything from a basic white tee to a gorgeous flowy blouse like this one I'm sharing here.  The full sleeve and soft neckline are both so feminine and easy to wear.  You can either tuck it in to show off the waistline or wear it out for a really easy spring or summer look.

Basic neutrals that are as simple as these really pair well with some equally understated accessories that have maybe just a bit of interest to draw the eye in and make for a really stylish look.  This headband fits the bill.  I am still a fan of this style from time to time and I think that the bit of animal print sort of ties everything together without being at all crazy or overdone.  If this pattern is not your style, perhaps a pearl accented option might be something you like a bit better.  This one is very pretty too.

Mules are huge again this spring and I'm still wearing them a lot.  This pair is so nicely designed and I love the way the black keeps the flow and feel of the look going from head to toe.  s

Of course, sunnies are a part of the look and this pair is my current favorite.  These croissant hoops have also become some of my most worn lately.  They're also perfect for summer coming up and look really, really nice with a low bun all season long.

Finally, my Chloe C mini bag in taupe would be the perfect one to finish off the entire look with the gold hardware playing so well with the earrings and the soft color perfectly complementing the entire black and white look.

Neutrals and basics are a match made in heaven and I absolutely love them all seasons of the year.  Hope you took something helpful away from today's post.  Have a wonderful day everyone...see you in the next one!

I don't know why I’m so drawn to neutrals but if you’re anything at all like me then you know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s something just so inexplicably elegant about a simple palette that has kept women coming back to it time after time.  And, it's fair to say that I am most definitely one of them.


So, when it comes to curating a neutral palette wardrobe, there are a few things to keep in mind.  First off, you need to ask, "Am I a warm-toned neutral lover or is my preference more of that of a basic black and white vibe?"  Now, a true artist might disagree with me in that black and white aren't considered neutrals whereas they aren't colors at all.  But, for the purpose of our work here, black and white are most definitely neutrals.


If you find yourself loving those warmer neutral tones like amber, cognac, khaki, wine, wheat, and ivory then this is most certainly your time of year.  If you are more of a black, white, smoke, heather and charcoal lover then you must be uber chic and absolutely loving that it is October, the month in which theses color schemes take flight.  Either way, it is a win-win and I find myself filling my closet with items from both camps and never looking back.


For today, however, I have put the focus upon the black and white scenario.  I honestly don't know if I love anything more than a really good black sweater.  Chunky, well-knit, oversized and, of course, complete with a cozy turtleneck, this piece will take you into fall and straight through winter will multiple ways to wear it.


One way I love, a lot, is pairing it with a creamy or perhaps tan pair of trousers.  The feel is ultra-comfortable and the look is completely chic to me.  And, while you can always slip on a great pair of flats or ankle boots, I personally love the unexpected twist of styling it with a nice pair of sneakers.  This allows you to wear the look not only to work during the week but to later dress it down with trainers for those more relaxed or off duty moments on the weekend.


Right now, you can get away with topping it with a menswear-inspired jacket like this blazer before the weather turns to terribly cold and chilly.  I also suggest this bag to help finish off the look.  While it is a bit of a splurge, I feel it is worth every penny as it can be put together with an endless number of looks and wears like a dream.  


Again, as you guys all know by now, I finish off nearly every look with a swipe of eye-catching lip color and a beautiful pair of sunnies.  Ready or not, here  I come.


How many of you have been building more neutrals into your closet lately?  I truly love how many incredible options they provide me.  Let me know your thoughts!

Happy Wednesday! Anyone heading to the beach soon?  Here are some chic and simple ways to look gorgeous and feel great.  I love the simplicity of the spectator style and the way it is so easy to pair and wear with everything.  Sun hats, slides and straw bags are some of my current favorites right now.  What about you?  I'll definitely be including one of each in my beach bag.  I've linked these pieces below for you in case you're thinking of doing the same.

Hope everyone is having a great week!  See you on Friday!

Happy Friday girlies!  It's time for some well-deserved weekend fun and I've put together the just-right cozy pieces that are as cute as they are comfortable.  Beanie hats are not just cute, they're super warm too.  This one has a great fair isle print that I love and pairs perfectly with this vest.  I think this check scarf would complement so many basic pieces already in your closet (think black turtlenecks, denim skinnies and camel topcoats for starters).  This Kate Spade handbag is a puddle of luxury and chicly stores all your on-the-go necessities.  All that and it's on SALE.   Great way to start the weekend, no?  And these socks....well, I just might want to live in them all season long.  Enjoy the weekend...make it a great one!

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!

As much I love color and all its beautiful splendor, there's just something so classic and fresh about contrast.  Black and white {or sometimes even a great navy} beckon us back to a bygone era where glam was the rule not the exception.  I love to breathe a little bit of that spectator style into my everyday looks from time to time.  These latest loves do just that.  I'm especially in love with this J.Crew Embroidered scallop dress.  Perfect for summer strolls or for Sunday brunch.  Keeping in touch never looked cuter than with this adorable Kate Spade Scallop Pocket iPhone case.  Finally, a cute tote that goes everywhere effortlessly is the perfect summer grab and go bag.  This one from Tory Burch is on my wish list.  


Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
