May Flowers

May 7, 2016

They say April showers bring May flowers, and New York has definitely seen its share of cold and rainy days recently. Even despite the nasty weather, I’m looking forward to the return of sunshine and spring.

This year, off-the-shoulder tops and dresses have become some of the most popular silhouettes for warmer weather. I styled my off-the-shoulder blouse with oversized pink earrings (and matching mani) for a girly and glam look.

Outfits

Graphic Tees

May 2, 2016

Being from the South, I always found myself to be more of a sundress girl. However, since living in New York, I have a new-found appreciation for throwing on a comfy t-shirt with a pair of jeans for ease. Of course, I still dress the combo up with a cute pair of heels and usually a blazer or leather jacket. I think it adds a bit more polish and style to a work-day outfit.

I have a couple graphic tees that I wear on rotation, including a vintage Adidas and super soft Pink Floyd shirt left over from a commercial shoot I worked on. But my absolute favorite is my Hall & Oates concert tee that my husband got me when we saw the duo on tour this year. Jason and I adore H&O, so every time I wear the shirt, I have happy memories of dancing the night away at the concert. And while even though I don’t wear t-shirts often, I think the personal connection makes it even more special when I do.

Red & Champagne

April 27, 2016

For many people, a red leather jacket conjures up images of Michael Jackson in Thriller. You know what? I’m totally okay with it. Last year, I bought my first real leather jacket – a deep purple Iro that I wear at every opportunity. The leather is so soft and feels buttery to the touch. Since I love and wear it so much, I was ok with splurging on the rockstar red! I think the slightly shrunken fit, combined with the washed-out color makes the look less slick and costumey. While it’s so easy to pair with black, I also love wearing it with grays and nudes. In this particular instance, I paired the structured moto jacket with a slinky champagne slip-dress. The liquid gold number is strappy and sexy, but still comfortable and airy.
