Started this post while prepping for my trip to Paris for PFW. And now that fashion “month” is over, I’m excited to do a quick fashion week SS20 recap, share my OOTD’s and NYFW/PFW experiences, and everything else that happened in between. 😉
Tote bags are an essential part of my ‘everyday’ outfit look. Going to meetings or just doing errands, they are my bag of choice to hold everything that I may need in one place! Because tote bags are used regularly as well as in a variety of situations, I’m careful to select a tote that is classic, well-made and in a neutral/ versatile color. Most importantly, the tote needs to be lightweight. I often carry my laptop or books so the lighter the bag, the better!
Tote Bags for Work and Play: My Faves
The Louis Vuitton ‘Neverfull’, Saint Laurent ‘Shopping’ and the Goyard ‘Saint Louis’ totes shown below are my fave classic totes that I use on rotation. Not only lightweight, these are all minimal in their design resulting in a clean, uncomplicated look. My tote du jour is the Saint Laurent. In classic black, it is elegant and timeless.
I use my bags on a daily basis for years, so I’m willing to spend a little more to make sure that I get one that I will love to use. Below are some totes at a slightly lower price point that I also like… 🙂
It’s been a long time! Meant to post sooner but with summer vacay, the kids (and puppy), and setting up my new office (if you haven’t seen my Instagram stories… yes I have a new office!), I have been busy!! Back to more regular blogging soon but until then, just wanted to jump in here quick to share some of my faves from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The sale has already started and it ends on August 4th! There are so many good picks so head over there as certain items are selling out fast! All prices return to their regular non-sale prices on August 5th.
Below are some of my fave items from the sale. Bought the over-the-knee boots I’m wearing above from Nordstrom during one of their previous sales. A timeless fall/winter boot, also love it for its reasonable block heel. You can also see me wear them in this post. There’s a similar one on sale now that I’ve linked below!
As I get older, my skincare regimen and makeup products are increasingly important to me. It’s not just about the quality of the products/ingredients, but it’s also about how effective they are. With a busy schedule, I only want to use products that I love which serve their purpose or at least make me feel better. 🙂 Fortunately, there are so many great beauty products to choose from, and the diversity and quality seems to be improving year after year! This post is a round up of my current favorite skincare and makeup products that I use regularly(mostly daily) and love. See below for my review…
Hi there! Now that the weather in New York is getting consistently warmer (finally!), I’m so excited to pull out my spring looks! There are so many trends for this season that I love. Of course there are the beautiful pastels that show up every year, but this spring neons make a bold statement. I also love the relaxed power suit (jacket and pants worn separately as well) look and some of the animal prints that are so hot right now. These snakeskin print boots are my current spring trend obsession. THEY are the shoes you need now.
See below for the details on these boots as well as some of my fave pieces to buy for spring.
Hi! Somehow it’s already mid-March, and I’m still wondering what happened to January and February! I don’t know about you, but this year (so far…) has been going by too fast for me. In part because we got a puppy over the holidays (yay!).
A collection of feminine looks with a vintage vibe that also incorporates a modern aesthetic, the Jill Stuart fashion line is a brand that I have loved for years. So when Jill Stuart Beauty launched in the U.S. in the Fall of 2018, I was excited to try their products and recently, I did. A few weeks ago, I visited the Jill Stuart Beauty showroom in Soho, NYC to discover the brand… It was everything and more than I expected. 🙂
I’m a warm weather person, but I definitely prefer cold weather clothing and accessories. There are just so many more options with fabric, styles, etc. and, of course, layering can get just down right creative as well as practical! It’s really cold in New York (where I live…) right now as I’m writing this post. The winter temps here can extend well into April and even May, so if you’re here or live in a similar climate, now is a great time to update your cold weather looks if you haven’t already. Hopefully, you can take advantage of any post-holiday or late-in-the-season sales.
In this post I am sharing some of my fave winter coats, jackets and cold weather accessories. Fashion-forward as well as functional, these items are available now; but many are selling out fast. Find the pieces you love and fit you well, so they can be worn for the next winter and hopefully several more. 😉
