Chilly-Weather-Wear

Even though we haven't reached Thanksgiving yet, New York has been feeling especially chilly.  And yes, I am completely referring to the rouge snowstorm we had last weekend!  Once I felt the snow hit my face again, I cringed at the thought of winter weather. However, until we reach sub zero tempurtures, I'm going to try and enjoy the chilly weather and layer up with chunky knit sweaters, bow blouses and preppy collared shirts.  Ah, living the life.

Fall In Love With Neon

Fall has arrived in the city and today marked the first day wear I really noticed people leaving their bright colors behind and opting for New York City's cold-weather uniform of head-to-toe black.  I'm not going to deny it, I too adopt that uniform when the sky is that certain shade of grey and I feel completely uninspired with the contents of my closet.  Speaking of inspiration, I had an obsession with neon this summer that I am happily carrying over to fall with the help of Etsy seller, Spike the Punch.  I love these necklaces because they pack a lot o' punch (pun intended), with out breaking the bank.  I'm planning on using them to dress up basic tees and chunky-knit sweaters--my go-to tops for fall.  How will you wear them?

Style by Rachel Rose

Summer is certainly in full swing here and the city and the weather has been unreal lately so classic silk shirts have been a go-to staple for me.  These pretty shirts by Rachel Rose would be a perfect addition to my ever growing closet, and yours.  Bonus, each shirt is hand painted by Rachel so no two shirts are exactly the same.

High - Low

I feel like my style has really changed and solidified over the past few months.   I once said that my style was like Audrey Hepburn with a bit a "dirt" rubbed in.  Honestly what on Earth was I thinking when I made that comment-- Audrey and "dirt" never belong in the same sentence.  Please forgive me and embrace my newfound style. 

 My personal style now is a combination of Audrey Hepurn, (obviously) Elle Fanning, and anything Mui Mui all wrapped up in a green and gold Kate Spade box.  I have fallen in love with polka-dots, bright girly patterns and anything with a Peter Pan collar.  Which is why I was so happy when I found Etsy seller Lana Stepul, a mother and daughter design team based out of New York.  My favorite pieces are their dresses with a high neck and low back.  Tres chic.

How would you describe your personal style?

rompers, bows, and tulle. oh, my!

Swoon! Every so often you find that Etsy shop that is so perfect- it's like it was made for you.   That's the feeling I got today when I happily stumbled across Alexandra Grecco.  I can honestly say I'm in love with this shop which is filled with wonderfully girly pieces that should be in my wardrobe.  I know there are a lot of pictures- but how I could possibly narrow it down anymore then this?
