Swoonfest Saturdays: Sponsored Post ~ Tights Can Be Right

I am not a stockings girl to be honest unless there is a chill in the air as it's something that I remember my mom telling me when I was younger! Thanks to Hanes sending me a variety of legwear, I selected a pair that was a tonal hue as I wanted my black dress to pop. Hanes has definitely expanded their offerings within their collection as they have footless legwear, convertible legwear (such a smart idea for those who would rather have a legging option), texture, designs and more! In addition to tights being a great look option, there are amazing hidden benefits including - creating a slimming look, keeping dresses down that would tend to ride up if they didn't have something to rub against to stay down as well as to lengthen your look. Regardless of whether you use them all the time or not, it's always good to have these classic staples at the ready in your closet just in case and the fact that they're under $6, it's an easy item to have on hand! Roll over the above images to see what I'm wearing and why I love it!

I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective, and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Accessorize For Easter

Easter is a few days away and the first post today gave you a peek into what my Easter basket is like for those who come by. Now, I want to share a fab look for when you're all gathering around the table whether it's going out for brunch, having dinner or beverages. Growing up, Easter meant ruffled socks dresses with a lot of bows and of course the perfect hat and Mary Janes to bring it all together. Thankfully, I have long left those days and prefer my version of rocking the perfect outfit.

THE LOOK

With it being Easter, the one styling element that I do like tying is the fact that Easter reminds me of pastels and vibrant color. When I wear lighter hues, I love pairing them with darker ones and you know that grey is my favorite color to wear. Mint has been a powerful color and trending very well over the past few seasons and when I decide to wear this, it would be in this very manner. I love something easy as I find myself on this day running around, checking on things that are going on and sharing what's new in my world. As many of you know, I'm a Tablet Crew member and was sent a Samsung Tablet to share how I use it in my day to day life. Whether it's doing my workouts, passing time on my flights in countless airport terminals or letting family members scroll through some sneak peeks of what I have coming up with a number of campaigns, this is definitely going to be put to great use this weekend.

ACCESSORIZE THE LOOK

Roll over the images to see how I accessorized this look with mint, Swarovski Crystals and more. As always, these are pieces that you'll love seeing in a number of your outfits throughout the year! What's your Easter Sunday look?

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Accessorize With Yellow

Yellow is a great hue and this vibrant tone is definitely one of Pantone's Spring 2013 hues that dominated the runway! I love that just by wearing this color, you have an extra spring in your step and as we continue to have longer days and warmer weather, why not shake up your wardrobe with some fun additions? This is the perfect look for the weekend, casual days in the office or of course when you're working from home. This definitely falls within my category of "nuvo glam" as it's an effortless style of dressing that can be worn to a number of places without having to change.

THE LOOK

Start out with this Rag and Bone tank top which has a nice flare to it paired with these Victoria Beckham denim leggings which have a slightly yellow hue. Keep it cozy with this striped yellow and white cardigan by Splendid.

ACCESSORIZE THE LOOK

Complete the look with fun accessories including these vibrant heeless shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti. Add a yellow sapphire by Jade Jagger which is the perfect cocktail ring. This gold plated and onyx necklace by Just Cavalli. Adorn your wrist with this fab Alexis Bittar cuff which is frosted with crystals. Finally, complete the look with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Q hobo bag.

Swoonfest Saturdays: NYFW FW2013 ~ Rafael Cennamo

Earlier today, I headed to The Box at Lincoln Center to check out the Rafael Cennamo presentation. I think the Box is one of my favorite spaces within the shows at NYFW since you're able to view the collections within an hour and to take pictures and take in all the details. In addition you can step back and see how the entire collection works together. The theme of the Fall/Winter 2013 collection was "21 Shades of Gold" which was "inspired by the passage of time with the ornate and golden aura of The Hall of Mirrors". The collection brough together regal elements with baroque elements and decor. As an Accessories Expert, I love embellishment and bling and it was definitely brought here! From fabulous chunky sweaters with a sprinkling of gold to add visual texture, sequin leggings, gold metal paillettes, ball gowns and more it was definitely a fantastic show. In addition, Zoya had phenomenal lacquers that were custom for this show which will be out for Fall/Winter 2013 - Amgelina (a rich chocolately hue), Goldie (I'd say a Grecian antiqued gold) and Dea (a caramel) hue which you should keep an eye out for next season - I loved that these came within our goodie bags as we left the show.

Enjoy my fave images from the show and you can also see Rafael Cennamo himself as well as a snap of the upcoming hues from Zoya.

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Pre NYFW Wrap Up Meetings

We're a little over a week from the kick off of NYFW. What I love about this season is that right before the shows, there are a number of activities that are taking place that I'll be hosting, supporting others and more. I'm spending my time running to showrooms to finish styling my clients who will be attending shows, brands who I'm styling their shows and some clients who will just be in the city as NYFW ends on Valentine's Day. How do you dress when you're in work mode and running around like crazy? I love to do it with the look above! I obsess over the perfect white shirt over a pair of leggings, fab over the knee boots scarves and some fab accessories! This takes me from me showrooms, event spaces, cocktails with friends in the city and those coming in and my fab clients that love grab sushi and cocktails. This is a great day to night look and one that works as you go.

I start with the basics - I love a short sleeve tee that's draped this is great to layer but even in this freezing weather, I opt for no sleeves this shirt by Armani Collezioni that can be paired with these faux leather pants (sexy) by Generation Love which elongates the leg. I love that you can add a cozy layer with this infinity scarf by by Swell. Complete the look with my go to, over the knee boots by Sergio Rossi.

Bundle up against the cold with these super cute earmuffs by Coach and this fabulous purple coat with fur trim by Alberta Ferretti - how cute is it when this is all together.

Now it's all about the accessories. My eyes are sensitive in the sun in the winter as the cold air definitely makes me tear up. Rock these oversized sunglasses Givenchy frames. Karl Attens has a fabulous pair of fingerless gloves accessorized with fun Swarovski Crystals. Since I'm always on my phone, it's easier for me to rock this look as opposed to having completely covered fingers. Finally, it's all about the bag. This Michael Kors satchel is the perfect way for me to bring everything I need. This is the perfect item for those fashionable errands, meetings and the tent.

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Signature Hue

Growing up, I was all about black and grey - they were my favorite hues. I felt that it looked super chic and although I was right, my closet was devoid of a lot of colors that are necessary for a well rounded wardrobe. Then I moved on to college and I definitely fell in love with grey to such a point that I began to banish black and go the other way with this heathered tone. It was coming to NYC a little over 10 years ago where I learned balance and embraced other hues. When Kitten Lounge came along, I eventually came to the logo that currently sits on the site. To be honest, I was not a fan of pink; however, it's become a color I have embraced to such a point that I have it on in some way whether it's my accessories, tech accessories and beyond. This look is all about rocking 2 hues that continue to run throughout the outfit. I don't do it often so it's fun when I opt for this style. With NYFW being around the corner, I have a number of appointments in showrooms whether I'm previewing a line or am working on styling runway shows for this time of year. I live for fab blazers, leggings and great pieces that let me wear an outfit from day to night regardless of how my schedule evolves through the 24 hour clock.

As much as possible, I have begun to add pink within various apparel choices and if there is a signature event that I am attending, I definitely wear this as this color now works across all the brands that I have in addition to Kitten Lounge! I'm a huge fan of Vince hot pink silk shirt which is perfect in all seasons as it can be layered or worn alone. Pair this over black J Brand leather leggings which is another staple in my closet. Complete the layered look with this fab Celine blazer (love the button detailing). I love rocking a fab scarf and have to admit that that portion of my closet just continues to grow, this one by Marc by Marc Jacobs is perfect.

I then think of my fun pieces and in this case, I'm loving these Alexander McQueen grosgrain heels with a bow - it's sweet and yet edgy. Geometria is in full swing with this Laura Bohinc sun and moon ring which is a conversation starter without a doubt. Ivanka Trump's necklace adds in a bit of heft and old world glam while these fingerless gloves by Imoni bring edge as well as allowing you to work on your phone as you're running around - I'm never without fingerless gloves.

Finally it's all about the bags. iPads are necessary in all that I do so keeping them safe while stylish is essential. This Burberry Prorsum metallic pink leather case is perfect and fits within this 3.1 Phillip Lim bag with a great slight foldover detail. Together it's a fab look or a great way to think of pieces that you wish to add into your look but to rock another way.

Wearable Wednesdays: His & Hers Style ~ Cobalt Pre Holiday

Can you believe how amazing the weather has been this week and the fact that it's December and we're enjoying 60's weather! Nothing is cuter than when couples rock matching hues and go all out to ensure that their puppy looks equally as fabulous! So I love the idea of rocking black and cobalt blue as it looks fab. I'm a huge fan of wearing skinnies whether it's Cushnie Et Ochs in leather leggings for her and these fab Dsquared2 slim fit jeans for him which look amazing! I am a big fan of black tees - for him, I love this Nell Barrett V-Neck (double) and for her, OBSESSED with this LGB Vibration sleeveless t. How can you not love this gold thunderbolt (it's like The Flash) and to accent, either person can rock this Botto Giuseppe scarf. This blue color continues to your shoes with heels by Jerome C Rousseau (exclusive to Intermix I love these booties) and he can rock uber sexy Prada kilt lace ups that also have blue. Once again, play twinsies with this fab cap by Eugenia Kim and for her, rock this Gucci White Gold ring which is FAB! Finally, we're loving that the gold thunderbolt shows how fab you can accessorize with your pooch with this Couture by Sophie fabulous bag for your puppy, matching leash and this jacket! We love this line as it was apart of Shoe Week during NYFW and TODAY will be making its debut at a fun trunk show this evening. Check out more from Couture by Sophie's, Icon Collections at D Pet Hotels in Chelsea (104 W 27th St Btwn 6th/7th Ave from 7 - 9pm). Shop, nibble and sip and RSVP at Chelsea.NYC@DPetHotels.com. We also love it as this bag is cruelty free as it's a high vegan leather grade AND the fur is faux - who doesn't want to walk around the city with this fab and uber chic family?

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Charcoal and Pink

One of my favorite color combos is charcoal and pink fused together! It's fun to wear if you're off to work, running to meetings or even to have drinks with the girls. I'd say rock this look out with the following items - start off with this fab pink ruffled blouse which is the perfect femme quality to add to this look by Moschino Cheap & Chic. Pair this with fabulous skinny jean leggings by
Adriano Goldschmied and add a bit of texture with this charcoal and pink blazer via Paul Smith! Of course it's all about fabulous accessories which will up this look to a whole other level. I'm loving this fabulous ring by
Mossa by M.g. which has a bit of a caged look with this pink quartz ring. Continue this look by adding in this large fan charcoal bracelet by Alexis Bittar and add a bit of a rocker edge with Camilla Skovgaard as we're a fan of spikes and love how fabulously pink these heels are.

Mingling Mondays: FW2012 Trends ~ Carly Rae Jepsen

This Thanksgiving, we got a fab surprise, we actually saw the parade from our windows. I loved being able to see the preview as it made its way down 6th avenue! As many of you know, Hello Kitty is one of my favorite characters and seeing her balloon glide down the street was so much fun! As is typical during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (which was in its 86th year of running on a gorgeous day in NYC), there are a number of performances that take place. Carly Rae Jepsen sand one of her songs and bundles up while showcasing pops of color! Many times when people think of what they will wear, it becomes a little tougher when it comes to dressing for colder temperatures. To show pops of different colors, how about rocking spring/summer tones in the fall/winter - it's a great way to stand out and for Carly, it keeps her looking sweet!

I'm loving these Marc by Marc Jacobs coral leggings which are comfortable to stand at long periods on a float, traveling or shopping. When it comes to your outerwear, how can you not love this Michael Kors cape style, double breasted belted coat. I think this is such a timeless look and provides structure and comfort to the outfit. This way, she is able to perform while showcasing a specific style as opposed to one that suggests that she is wearing a coat to stay warm. Lengthen your leg and show the look pulled together with these over the knee boots by Steve Madden. We love that she is popping in a rocker style element to her look and these boots with their buckle detailing will assist in the look. If you're singing, you have to have a fab statement ring as your hand will be on the mike - so I suggest this multi stone ring by Stephen Dweck. Finally, a hat is a fab way to cap off your look. I am not a fan of the black hat that Carly wore and would have opted for this Mischa Lampert Beanie XL Hat which blends in grey (yes I love mixing neutrals) and this coral hue!

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ A Sandy Free Weekend

So if you're glued to the news or the Weather Channel, you know that Sandy is traveling up to the North East and for those that are in NYC, we are slated to feel the effects between Mon and Tues. With a hurricane that is coming by, many of us spent our weekend enjoying the weather. The last hurricane that came by (Irene), I was in Tampa heading out of NYC to make my way to HSN to get on air. Today, it was about being out and about and resting while being cozy. I love pairing these TopShop leggings with a fun tank from BCBG and having this cozy oversized, cashmere hooded cardigan! Pair this up with suede over the knee boots from Michael Kors boots with a wrap bracelet from Chan Luu and brass onyx ring from Pucci. Make sure everyone stays safe as you can never be too cautious!

Fashionable Fridays: Editor Pick ~ Black & Tan

A day full of meetings on Friday means that it's time to rock a fabulous look as we close positive things for Kitten Lounge, Style Tweetup, Mani Week and Shoe Week. As the Editor in Chief, it's amazing the number of things that I'm running to do in the midst of all the other things! SO when you have to looks uber fashionable and brave the elements - this is my favorite look - Black and Tan!

When it's raining a trench coat is expected but what about a shearling trench coat from Burberry paired with simple leggings from Topshop. Since it's all about the meetings, my iPad must be accessorized in a studded Christian Louboutin ipad case. To finish this look, rock Hari Jewels fabulous Cabochan cocktail ring with this Nixon watch and of course, Charlotte Olympia with these suede and leather ankle boots.

Treasure Tuesdays ~ My Go To Looks

Now that we're in the fall, I'm all about one of my go to looks, skinnies, a tank and a fab blazer! I never know where the day will take me but this ensures that I am dressed and ready! Today it's all about Citizens of Humanity jeans, paired with this sequin gold tank by Pinko. To add an extra layer, I like this Elizabeth & James blazer which is trimmed in leather as a nice touch. Rocking these out with Roberto Cavalli over the knee high heel boots allows me to stay chic while being able to enjoy my day with meetings. Finally, when it comes to accessories, this citrine ring by Nehita is a great signature to wear with Paul Morelli cluster bracelet. Finally, keep the basic necessities with this watersnake clutch by Hugo Boss. What's not to love with this look and when you're going out, you can take your blazer off and let the sequin shine with this simple look.

It was an amazing time and I love the fact that there is nothing better then having a weekend with bridal runway shows and brunch as well! Being chic is always an essential and can be done with these fun pieces with this brocade jacket by Stella McCartney and pair it with these leggings from Theory. Accessorize it all with these fabulous Ralph Lauren burnished calf boots, Clementina ring and gorgeous Balenciaga bag with rose gold hardware.

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Rocking Bohemian Western Style

Sometimes I love to rock a western style look and mix it in with a little western flair! Instead of rocking a number of accessories, I opted for this Etro button down shirt which has a number of fab colors and paired it with these Sylvie Schimmel leggings which are fabulously sleek. You've seen me rocking my Linea Pelle bag over the past few days and I OBSESS over how I can bring a number of items without having multiple bags. Lanvin has this fab Tutti Frutti crystal cocktail ring. Finally, these burnt orange suede Diane Von Furstenberg boots which are perfect for jazzing up any look!

Fashionable Fridays ~ Alacran Inspired

Over the past few weeks, I have enjoyed sipping Alacran Tequila cocktails whether it's mixed with seltzer or cranberry. The black matte bottle contains white tequila which is very smooth. This bottle inspired this fab look which is one that you can see me rocking when I'm out and about. Start off with a fab pair of Rick Owens leggings which can be paired with a simple top such as this white and cream one by Elizabeth James. Rock bracelets with a large python bangle by Ted Rossi as well as another fave, Linea Pelle. I'm always known for my rings and this aquamarine Alexis Bittar and these fabulous blingtastic sling backs, Gianmarco Lorenzi. Together this look definitely embodies the nature of this fabulous bottle.

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Night To Day

I'm not going to lie, I am a huge fan of taking night looks and rocking them in the day. The essential classic night shirt is perfect to wear later in the evening but how about bringing it in the day? Brulee currently has a sample sale and this shirt is phenom to rock in the day for meetings, errands and to board a flight! Pair this with Zero+ Maria Cornejo which has a crop knee legging which is super cute. Pop on a pair of Rupert Sanderson yellow and black laser cut butterfly heels! I love Cathy Waterman's citrine ombre beads. Pair this with Fendi's cuff and rock this Elliott Chandler cocktail ring.

Fashionable Fridays: What I Wore ~ Kimmie & May HSN I

Today's the day! If you're reading this by now, I have already finished the first of 2 segments today on HSN! As many of you know, I'm a spokesperson for Sebago's women's collection as well as I designed a collaborative line with the brand known as Kimmie Smith x Sebago Spring 12 collection! Some of you have already checked me out at 5am this morning and you can see me on air again at 3pm today!

What I Wore Today for this first segment is a fun outfit. I am a HUGE fan of Butter London and I am breaking out of just wearing on shade - today, you saw me rock then Branwen hue. I rocked a fab pair of leggings that were made by TS (you can get the same effect with Mcq by Alexander McQueen. I have two tanks layered as I am a huge fan of racerbacks I suggest for the bottom layer, something like a white tank from Delia's and then layer it with Kimberly Ovitz's mesh ribbed tank which adds a little edge. My look is nothing without the right accessories. Of course you know I have my large and fave onyx ring from Ana Reign Designs (you'll see this by the time I have pics from behind the scenes) but I am excited about the bling that I brought in thanks to the generous people of Ross-Simons. They sent me Charriol pieces which are perfect as there are femme and whimsical elements with a mix of edginess to it. I'm loving my Charriol bandles which have a great amount of bling and then I also have the ring that has pave diamonds on it as well!

To complete this look, I'm rocking my gingham (yes they are navy and white) Kimmie Smith x Sebago Spring 12 collection which is such a great way to have a comfy casual shoe! Of course this pair is also available in tan as well which is also available! I'll see you guys at 3pm and thanks for all the love and to those who purchased - woot!

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Travel Ready

I love finding my perfect outfitr to travel in so that I can hit the ground running when I land. On Thurs, I will head out to Tampa for another series of shows on HSN. I always take the same flights out and back. I love an early morning flight to Tampa so that if there are delays, I have plenty of time since my shows never start until the next day. Upon landing, I always meet up with my rep as we catch up, then we do a training session, I go back to my room to lay everything out, pop back out for lunch, spend some downtime and then go out for a reasonable dinner and then back to the room to prep. Because of this schedule, I never really change out of my clothes. Here in NYC it's rainy and in the 60's and I'll be heading down to 90 degree Tampa so I like a convertible outfit.

I'm loving these Alexander Wang pointelle leggings paired with this twist racerback tank from Rag & Bone. These can be worn alone but when you hit the flight, I love this striped Haute Hippie black and cream cardigan which is cozy and will look fab with a scarf to make everything super cozy on a flight. Finally accessorize it up with this Marni cotton and gold toned brass necklace. Slip on this Giuseppe Zanotti tubular ring and complete the look with this fabulous pair of Chrissie Morris striped sandal which is such a fab look!

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Caramel & Grey

I'm loving this caramel and grey combo of style that's perfect for a Saturday afternoon that is springy! I'd definitely love to have this Donna Karan oversized sweater that's a 3/4 length! Pair it with the American Vintage Heather grey tank that can be worn with a number of looks and pop in a colored legging from TopShop! Of course as you're heading to brunch, there needs to be some fun pieces like Devon Leigh's Amber and quartz necklace which adds depth and an unexpected pop of color. Ankle boots are an essential in your closet and this Raphael Young panther pair are a nice way to complete the look. Finally, loving this bag which is so lush by Christian Louboutin and is known as the Sybil Springbock Fur Tote.

Trendy Thursdays: NYFW FW2012/2013 ~ Emily Cho Presentation

I ended my first day of NYFW FW 2012/2013 at the Empire Hotel for a fabulous presentation of Emily Cho handbags. Lauren Rae Levy (LRL Group) who I always love seeing at the shows and in between, hosted a fun evening of presenting the collection and having the opportunity of being able to talk with the designer. As an Accessories Expert, I'm always looking for the next piece, brand and designer that should become apart of my must haves when I am curating as well as appearing on segments. This season's collection focused on jewel tone bags that are made of calfskin and are full of texture. In addition, I love that the models were styled with over the top cocktail rings (which I rock all the time) as well as hoodies and leggings that were in fun hues! What a great way to show how luxury can enhance the most casual of outfits! These are clutches that I definitely will include on this site and with my clients for future styling!

Mingling Mondays ~ Crisp Accessorizing

With new year wishes still being uttered we're hitting the half way mark of this month. If your week is anything like mine, you're going to be super busy and you don't know where it's taking you. So in my case, I leave my house prepared for those requests to grad drinks, a quick bite and more. I love the idea of taking a clean and simple look such as this white oxford tunic from Cold Water Creek - the embroidery is a nice touch but I am loving the leggings which are a mix of jersey and leather by Rick Owens. Dannijo's tiered Swarovski choker. Slip on Alexis Bittar's Emerald encrusted gunmetal ring which is so fabulous. Of course you can bring in a bit of the rocker chic by having Linea Pelle's wrapped bracelet which creates great layers. Slip on these fab caged heels by Christian Louboutin and to continue the fab pop of green - why not rock Ghibli python satchel.

Mingling Mondays : Kimmie's 5s ~ Caramel Accessories

As mentioned yesterday, from now until the end of the year I will share with you my Top 5's (known as Kimmie's 5s - as an Accessories Expert you'll find the best way to complete your looks) within various themes as this is the time of year of lists after all! Today's look is inspired by the upcoming Winter Solstice and the dip in temperature being 27 degrees yesterday! We're still running around gifting, going to dinners and so much more! With that said I am all about caramel and rich brown tones! How can one dress up their outerwear and leggings which is a staple in my look when it comes to colder weather. I'm obsessed with the Prairie Hideaway Coat available at Modcloth. I love that it mixes in caramel, grey, black and cream and has a fun texture! In addition, this can be paired with any legging and of course, I have chosen the black pair by Alberta Feretti!. With that said, here are the top 5 caramel focused accessories that are fab for your closet and to complete this look!

Necklaces are essential and of course if it's from Virgins, Saints and Angels - I know that it's going to take your look to another level. Although this Magdalena piece is available exclusively at Nordstrom, it's tiered and drop pendant look is perfection for this look! Keep your fingers warm with fingerless gloves by Portolano. Keep your legs warm by slipping on Naughty Monkey's over the knee boot which is perfect for the season. Keep your eyes protected from the wind with Fendi's Zucca sunglasses which is all about being oversized and amazing. Finish the look with Prada's White Pebble Leather Convertible Satchel! Together - this is a super cute and clean look which will keep you warm no matter where you are off to.

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Python Holiday

With all the holiday commercials that have magically hit our screens, this is a time where we not only think about gifting but reconnecting with friends so that we can see them prior to the end of the year. After a hectic Thanksgiving and getting items ready, I am super excited that I can squeeze time out to hang out with friends. I'm off to a fun afternoon of drinks and nibbles with a friend. With that said, we need to grab fun, easy outfits that will allow us to laugh for hours without worrying about our comfort!

I'm love this Chloe yellow and python top which can be paired over French Connection's stretch leggings which are a staple for any wardrobe. With such a dynamic top, I'd definitely suggest that rocking more of a monotone look would be the best suggestion. Fun peep toe boots by Camilla Skovgaard adds an edge without going over the top. Slip on this cuff from one of my favorite designers Ted Rossi and this ring which is beyond fab Sevan Bicakci which has carved citrine. Finally, make sure that you have a super cute clutch like this fold over option by Balenciaga which has a pop of gold in it to add some oomph to the overall look!

Wearable Wednesdays ~ Turkey Day Fashion 3

This week you've seen fab looks that you can rock on Thanksgiving! I started with my fave look which is Turkish/Moroccan inspired and is so easy to wear and full of color, yesterday it was all about the neutrals and keeping it cozy - today I bring you sleek and chic!

I love American Vintage's top which is a fabulous nude hue. When paired off leggings from French Connection it's a fabulous look. Pull it together with a little sass by pairing it with a Gianni Versace Vintage cropped blazer. Rock those ankle bootie heels by adding Giuseppe Zanotti and has a fab cut look. Add in a bit of turquoise flavor by popping on this Tiger Lily gold wrapped necklace and of course, it's all about the ring by having Zariin's gold ring that also adds in green agate.

Fashionable Fridays ~ Fashion Walk

It's so hard to dress for this weather. It's all about layers but sometimes you dressed a bit too warm for a day when the temperatures rise to 68/70 even when it's not the same level of humidity as it was in the summer. Other times, it gets super chilly and there is something about wishing you had grabbed another layer. This is a fab look when I love getting back to the coziness of the staple in my wardrobe for years, black.

My latest (one of many) obsessions is this Navajo cardigan style from Yigal Azrouel which is eye popping on its own and can paired over a simple pair of leggings. Slip on a pair of these Rider boots from Frye which has their logo on the side and presents a bit of that edge that we all love seeing. As you're running into the streets, rain or shine you need Chloe oversized black sunglasses. These are the perfect way to navigate the streets or to take a nap while traveling on a flight. Slip on Ted Rossi's J'amour Noir Python cuff which adds a pop of edge along with Kara Ross' Onyx, Hematite and Sapphire ring which is a conversation piece to say the least. Now you're ready for wherever this look is taking you!
