Glad to be Plaid

Hello there!

It is my well overdue first post of 2015 but I would love to wish you all a Happy New Year!!!

We are very close to ringing in a New Year, which this calls for some major reflection on the past year and plans for the New Year. Personally this year has had a significant amount of ups and downs but in retrospect, has made me appreciate those small happy moments.

DAY TO NIGHT

Let me start by wishing everyone a delightful Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone can think of at least one reason to be thankful today!

Today I am channeling a cool sophisticated vibe. Wearing a beautiful black jumpsuit with lacy details and a plunging "V" back for a hint of sexiness. A compact metallic clutch for a little sparkle and a blazer gracefully draped around my shoulders sums up the chic look. Sound right?

In reality this is probably something you would catch me in after one of my "I don't have a thing to wear" or "I didn't plan ahead" moments . After rummaging through what my sister calls a "hoarder's closet" for endless possibilities for the perfect outfit; trying the fourth outfit and incessantly checking the time because I have only 30 minutes for hair and make up before I have to get out of the door (you working ladies can relate). I usually end up with one of my go-to outfits that never disappoint- Jumpsuits.

I have been on the jumpsuit bandwagon since...well, forever. And the love story still continues. I own a lot of jumpsuits- structured, strapless, sequined (wearing here) and they are always work. This holiday season, invest in a sparkly or structured piece that can make you look like a million dollars without trying too hard. Not to mention, fast style for the girl on the go!

Happy Thanksgiving!

ALONG THOSE LINES:: STRIPES, GRIDS AND OTKs

Hello Loves!

As my obsession with thigh high boots continue, so does my obsession with white and black. I was extremely delighted when I came across this striped dress from forever 21 and although it had a very sexy plunging neckline (a little risqué for me), I knew I had to have it. Playing with patterns, I paired the striped dress with a grid patterned jacket which turned out perfectly.

Try mixing these two patterns for your next styling adventure. This works well dressed for work, as well as for a more dressy event- as evidenced here. Have fun with it.
