The best thing about winter is breaking out the floral, and this year’s Baroque-inspired florals are dark, moody and romantic. I especially love Top Shop's blazers. Wear them over a dress with jeans or do like Suno and mix your floral patterns!
Someone once told me to save my clothes because fashion is cyclical and things always come back in style. This could not be truer for the drop waist dress. And while I will not be sporting my mom’s drop waist dress from circa 1985, today's more updated versions are flirty and chic. With the holidays fast approaching, why not update your party style with one of these beauties?
While living in London, one of my favorite places to shop for chic home goods was Zara Home. Already being my ‘go to’ place for amazing clothes and shoes, it was no surprise that I would fall in love with Zara’s home goods concept. Being a student and/or working in my first job, I had limited funds but still wanted my space to be as stylish as financially possible. The great thing about Zara Home is that it offers a designer feel for an affordable price. Now that I have moved back to the US I am very happy that I can fill my new life with an old favorite. Visit Zara Home's new US website here, and check out all of the amazing pieces!
At the beginning of the summer, while strolling through Forever 21, I spotted a rhinestone collar necklace. Four months later, it has become my most worn piece of jewelry. The most chic way to wear this piece is layered under a buttoned-up collared shirt. These necklaces add instant detail and dimension to any outfit.
Any fashionista will tell you that she cannot own just one coat. Once the cold weather comes around your coat will be what every stranger on the street and rider on the train will see. Don't get stuck into the boring black coat rut. My advice is to invest in one classic coat, think charcoal grey or camel, as an alternative to black. If you have a bit of extra cash, also invest in a trendier coat; the military-style comes back every season. I also love the idea of a classic coat updated with leather sleeves or trimmings. Good quality will ensure that your coat will be with you for many seasons. Accessorizing your outerwear is just as important as styling any normal outfit and can change the look of your coat. Don't let your winter wear be an afterthought. Find inspiration to make those cold days more stylish than ever!
One of my favorite actresses of all time is Audrey Hepburn. I grew up watching old films with my mom and sister and fell in love with the glamour of the Hollywood stars. I feel like my style has two very distinct personalities. On one side I am very classic, tailored and paired down. On the other I tend to be more experimental with my look, for example, pairing a blue peplum top with leopard pants here. If all else fails, I channel my style icon, Audrey.
Every season it seems as if the equestrian trend is resurrected in some capacity. I remember a few years ago horse print was the thing, and I purchased a beautiful dress from Zara covered in a fox-hunt scene. It looked like one of those paintings you would find in an old pub. Someone even stopped me and asked, "Are those horses on your dress?" Yes they were, and I loved it! This year it seems as if the trend has focused on the fox. That sly little fox is making his appearance on everything from scarves to bracelets to the front of your sweater.
