There are so many amazing ways to combine tastes and styles and Paris meets New York is definitely one of mine.  The allure and mystique of elegant French girl style mixed with a bit of that New York City edge get me every time.

This sweater can easily go either way.  Black cashmere is always a must and never disappoints.  Pair it simply with your favorite jeans (loving these lately), a black wool trench, this scarf and bring on the fall.  As an unexpected twist, I say add in these super chic little black boots.  They are so amazing in this color but come in a lighter neutral shade as well if you want to add them to your cognac, ivory and taupe looks.

A classic trench of the wool variety absolutely hits the mark right about now.  I love it in navy as well as the black version.  Either would work for this look.  It's really just a matter of one's personal preference.  For me, I love that little bit of richness and unexpected mystery the navy option exudes.  So chic.

Of course, no look is ever quite finished without some brilliant accessories.  This bag clearly fits the bill.  I really love this brand for its simplicity that always adds just the right touch of class.  These sunnies are new and a must-have for my collection.  It's been a while since I invested, haha.  Gold hoops, this watch and of course a beret round out the look giving it the perfect Paris meets New York feel.

Ahhh, I can not wait for the day when we can all travel freely again! How about you guys? What cities spark your wanderlust?

In the meantime, thank goodness for style journies!

Classic outwear is such a closet staple come this time of year.  Whether we're talking about a chic little blazer, biker style moto or belted coat, there are so many fun and well-styled ways to wear them.  Today I'm highlighting one of my favorites, the wool trenchcoat.  Now, not only is this a gorgeous piece, when you turn to it in the color navy, all bets are truly off.

For whatever reason, navy blue never seems to get its due love or admiration.  Perhaps, a lot of us really do enjoy this color and it doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles.  Or maybe it is just naturally a quiet classic.  Either way, I do adore it and that is why I've chosen to design several ways to wear it here today.  

Okay, so since this is a classic coat, it is quite fitting that we first put together some classic, dare I say preppier, pieces to first go with.  This sweater has been seen here before.  That in itself is suggestive of a tried and true piece that pays you back with each wear.  And, with every great classic sweater comes the perfect partner...a flattering pair of jeans.  Is it just me or has denim gotten really, really good (make that great) lately?  I suppose that is a whole other post but I digress, haha.  

So, jeans are such a wonderful partner in crime to nearly every look there is.  Whether it's an autumn take like this one or a springtime feel of a t-shirt and sneakers.  Jeans always work.  And work well. This look is no exception.   

The navy wool coat agrees and the proof is right there in the lovely way these few simple pieces take things down that classic cobblestone road.  Simple stripes, neutral colors and a pair of classic sunglasses make for quite an effortless look.

But, there are days when we may want to change the vibe up a bit and happily, this coat can handle that.  So for example, you may find that you're in the mood for something a little more sporty, say a comfy hoodie perhaps. This one is ultra-soft and I may want to warn you that once you slip into it, you may find yourself not wanting to ever take it off.   That's okay really, because like I said, this dream coat doesn't care.  It's up for almost anything.  

I love the look of a hoodie peeking out from beneath a great trench. And black denim always takes the lead role once again in bottoms here with this look.  Then when it comes time to accessorize, I think that a fun little beanie (love this one), a classic check scarf and a sporty crossbody round out the whole look.  Of course, these sneakers are one of my favorite pairs.  I love them so much with so many of the looks I enjoy creating.  And I just happen to think that they work wonders with this autumn outfit above.

And there you have it.  Two ways to wear this gorgeous gem of a coat.  If you all fall in love with it as much as I already have, please let me know and I'll be happy to suggest more ways to wear it.  

Thanks friends and have a wonderful Wednesday!

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!

Hello Wednesday!  Time for some midweek inspo that's perfect for now.  I recently wore this outfit and got compliments everywhere I went.  So, I decided to share these simple pieces and show how to turn them into a complete look.  When it comes to sweaters, it's all in the details...primarily the simple details.  Side slit hems, cropped sleeves and drop shoulders all come together to make this one a great staple.  I paired it with these wide leg cropped jeans and these cognac ankle boots, another wardrobe workhorse.  I added in my favorite bucket bag, this hat and topped it all off with a beautiful plaid coat and was toasty warm and ready for a casual workday.  Don't you just love when things come together so easily like that?  I thought so, me too!!

I've linked all the pieces below for you in case any of this has caught your eye.  Hope everyone is enjoying  a wonderful Wednesday and for those of you getting a long weekend, enjoy!

Black and camel has always been such a classic combo and still remains as one of my all time favorites. It speaks of old school glam and gives a nod to the origins of Chanel.  Hello, Grace Kelly.  Today's look is a modern take on this much-loved go-to as it pairs the perfect neutrals and creates the sexiest looks for fall.  This black bodycon dress hugs all the curves as it leaves a sense of mystery and allure while never revealing too much.  Pair it with these over the knee boots (obsessed!) to extended the look and give the illusion of long and lean.  A gorgeous suede jacket gives a little extra warmth and adds a sweet bit of sass.  This one is always in the rotation for me because it works with sooooo many of the pieces I own and lets me create multiple autumn looks.  Add in a few cute camel (or gold) accessories (this bag, this belt and this hat would each do the trick) and you have the perfect polished look that can take you anywhere while looking amazing.  

Hope you're having a wonderful week and have a happy Halloween!

Hello friends and happy September! Ahhhh, my favorite time of year has arrived and I couldn't be more excited!  The fall season is so special to me for many reasons and absolutely love each one.  A chill in the air, apple and pumpkin picking weekends, football games, Sunday suppers, cozy campfires and gorgeous rolling landscapes are only the beginning.  The shapes and shades of our closets are also autumn-inspired with fresh prints and rich jewel toned colors.  One of those prints I'm currently super excited about is the much loved leopard.  Animal prints have been hot the past couple of years as they've become the new neutral.  They pair so well with black, brown, camel, ivory and gray and can be easily incorporated in a variety of ways.  

For the less adventurous, these earrings are perfect with a low pony, a cashmere sweater and some wide leg capris in pretty camel or ivory shades.  If you want a bit more, I say go with a pretty animal print scarf, blouse or great pair of loafers.  But if you are uninhibited in your love of leopard then definitely try on a fun skirt or slim pair of pants topped with a black balloon sleeve sweater to easily balance out the look.

Chocolate, desert and rose-toned eyes and lips are the perfect choice for complementing any of these looks.  They're also another one of my favorite changes come fall.  How about you guys?  Are you all into the animal print look as much as me?  I'd love to know your thoughts and faves!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far...thanks for reading and see you Friday!

Happy Friday loves!  Time to kick the weekend into gear.  I'm doing it with these less traditional fall looks inspired by this post.  Soft colors, gentle plaids and oh-so-creamy neutrals carry the perfect look and feel that set up beautifully against Mother Nature's gorgeous blazing landscapes right now.  This scarf is such a good focal point piece that can be the foundation of any casual outfit.  I love it paired with an easy white turtleneck sweater or tee, light blue denim and caramel booties.  You can also mix it in with a furry faux vest, mini skirt and OTK boots.  Pull in some neutral accessories (love this cap, this bag and these glasses) and your femininely finished and ready for fall fun.

Speaking of that, what does everyone have planned for the weekend?  I'm so excited to go out to the pumpkin patch.  We're doing one of those haunted hayrides so they'll be plenty of hot cider and cinnamon donuts to go around afterwards, haha.  If you've never done one of those rides, definitely give it a try.  They are the best for getting into the Halloween spirit!

I'm also seriously eyeing everything cropped and all things flared when it comes to bottoms.  These pants are so flattering on all body types and can be paired in any way you wish to make the most of what your mama gave ya.  While summer may be waning, style is forever gaining momentum.  Make the most of it!  Have a wonderful day everyone!

Fall has so many things I love about it {think gorgeous landscapes, hayrides and pumpkin spice lattes} and trying on new styles is definitely always one of them!  One of the latest looks I'm really loving right now is The Culotte.  Aka the gaucho pant, this look has some history and high-fashion moments behind it.  What was once known as beachwear has recently become the go-to look of the fashion forward.  I think for me, Eva Chen's pronouncement of it as a hot trend of the upcoming season was my selling point.  Not because I gravitate towards what's trending but because I simply love what's chic.

These looks I'm sharing today epitomize what I mean.   Effortlessly they portray the beauty of simple styling that speaks volumes.  Another thing I love is that the look can take you from late summer through late fall without fail.  While temps continue to climb, try pairing yours with a cropped top or silk short-sleeved tee and your favorite strappy sandals.  On crisper days, I love wearing a black pair with a great gingham blouse, booties and military style jacket.   Tweed versions along with sweater tops and leather motos will also be perfect for taking the look into late autumn.

I know this look is going to be a favorite for me.  What on-trend moments are you looking forward to this coming season?  I'd love to know.  Have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks so much for reading!

With so many of us feeling ready to wave goodbye to our summer wardrobes, I'm feeling like it's the perfect time to say hello to the long cardigan.  Such a staple for nearly any season, this piece is always the first thing I reach for as the weather begins to turn cooler.  This season I'm loving it in shades of grey, basic black and this amazing aztec pattern that is so right now.  Before I need to layer up with heavier weights, I always start out with thinner pieces like this lightweight option.  Later on into the fall, I love wrapping myself up in cozier choices like this gorgeous chevron knit shawl sweater  from Vince and this soft rib-stitch open cardi.   Ahhh, all this talk about cozy clothing has me wishing fall was here!  You can shop more of my favorites below….Have a wonderful  weekend!
