Sheer determination.  A fashion challenge that gave me a lot of freedom and creativity. I wanted to style with this skirt because 1. I love a fashion challenge and 2. It pushed me to be comfortable in my choices and skin.  To balance the sheerness of the skirt, I paired full structure on top.  A great tailored blazer and a high neck tank along with a dash of color.

The essence of summer captured in a dress and blazer! I’ve been obsessed with Sezane lately.  Just a small glimpse of their summer Éditions collection and it’s not hard to see why.  Today, I’m sharing a few of their standout pieces – a sculptural dress and velvety-soft blazer.

3 ways to style a white blazer! Just a few of my favorite ways to wear a crisp ivory blazer. Your browser does not support the video tag. Your browser does not support the video tag.   I love a great double-breasted blazer.  Double-breasted (vs single-breasted) to me is much easier to dress up or down.  I keep reaching for this Zara blazer over and over again.  I love it so much that I actually got the matching straight leg pants.  In my humble opinion, both are true classics that will last years and years. Outfit Blazer + Pants Zara blazer with matching pants.&nbs ..read more

I feel like I’ve learned the hard way and what they say is absolutely true – the nights are long but the years are short. From the last post to this post, please meet our light and joy, Kinsley.

Fall fashion colors and embracing the bump with super soft and comfortable knitwear. Pregnancy style?!  I had to type that a few times to let it really sink in!  Dressing lately has been challenging, but I do love a fashion challenge.  Even before pregnancy, I had a hard time wearing pants.  If you take a look at my older posts, I don’t wear pants often.  There’s really no delicate way to put this… The reason why I don’t like pants in general is that it rubs against my crotch and pelvic area.  With my bladder disease, constant UTI and pelvic pain, I just don’t li ..read more

Something different, something fresh and a little something to welcome fall! A tonal look with crisp textures and sleek details. As you know, I love monochromatic looks – all red here, all gray here, all silver here, all blue here, and many more!  I find that tonal looks are so clean, chic, and fun.  For autumn, I love the combination of beige with leg lengthening silhouettes and a dash of interesting textures.  This striped beige blazer + pants set is made for fall!  The beige color adds warmth while the pinstripes and wide-leg shape gives this overall set a familiar yet ..read more

Cafe + market + wine shop together in one place!  This little gem just opened in the West Village a few months ago.

The perfect companion to this cafe = this voluminous tiered ruffle dress.  Equally romantic and charming, this darling piece also comes in white and a floral print.  It’s truly a timeless piece that’s perfect for this summer season and m ..read more
