It's one of those weeks where it's going to be really busy! For those of you in DC and in Baltimore, I will be on air on your local ABC affiliates chatting it up! It's always great to be out and about in a different market. When I travel it's about comfort but also being able to hit the ground running. Roll over the above images and find out why I'm obsessed with this easy look that's perfect to wear when you have a million in one things to do. In terms of apparel, the Valerj Pobega top and Plein Sud Jeans. I'm loving the neutral color palette as well as the fun accessories that complete this look including Sergio Rossi, YSL, 3.1 Phillip Lim, CC Skye, Joomi Lim and Victoria Beckham.

Trendy Thursdays ~ Spring Escapes 2013
Although the first day of Spring kicked off yesterday, this in between weather makes me think about taking a proper getaway and when that happens - you have to go warm weather and beaches as far as the eye can see! With that in mind, I present to you the 10 items that are an essential when it comes to looking amazing. What I love about these key items is that many of them can be interchanged with your looks even when you're back battling the temperatures. You'll love some of my faves from maxis from Mark, Ombre Ikat scarf by Echo Designs and a fab classic bikini by Burberry.

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Accessories I'm Loving
In the world of accessories, it's so hard for me to have a favorite as I'm always embracing a new pair of heels, a bracelet, necklace etc. As many of you know, as an Accessories Expert, I always lead Accessories Forward! I pick my outfits based on these gems and love the whole process of finding the perfect mix. This time of year finds me doing a number of activities within short time frames whether it's styling a client, working on my jewelry line, checking out presentations and more. It's all about an outfit that works and ensuring that accessories keep me feeling completely in my element!
Leggings and jeggings are a major component to my look and I love a great shirt whether it's a button down or tee. I love these DSquared Slim Jeans which are a great pop of color and of course showcases the colors of my brands. It's all about an ode to old school with this fab ruffled shirt by Sara Roka.
This is such a crisp look that with fabulous accessories can really make your look phenomenal. I love these Sergio Rossi Painted Python Heels which is a great way to make a number of your looks come together without a doubt!. Never one to shy away from fun bold accessories, here are my top picks! Balenciaga's Arena Giant Rose Gold City is a fabulous touch whatever you're wearing. My readers know that I have been such a fan of this brand's bags and with so many colors that are available, how can you not find a favorite! A recent fave has been Kimberly McDonald who has so many pieces that has come on my radar. I love geodes and have been rocking a few pieces from a number of designers but her 18kt Rose Gold Geode and Diamond ring is such a fab item. Arm candy is an essential and I have a number of bracelets from Charriol and love their pave bar diamond wrist love.
Complete this look by a few more dazzling details. Lucifer Vir Honestus Diamond Trofeo Bracelet is a dynamic piece that works well whether you're dressing something up or taking it to the next level. Although I'm not a watch girl, there are times when it seems appropriate - this would be NYFW as I'm always running from one show, showroom, etc to another and getting just enough time to hang out with my girls. Movado's mother of pearl watch with diamonds is perfection. Finally, my sunglasses are everything! NYFW has some early call times when I'm backstage and events go well into the night. To ensure that I rest my eyes, I'm always looking for the perfect pair and I have been in love with Tom Ford's Rhi sunglasses which bring out your inner Charlie's Angel to be sure!

Wearable Wednesdays ~ NYFW Must Have Accessories
My tech is pretty important to me no matter where I go but during NYFW it's such an essential that I double check to make sure that I have everything. Although I'm so fortunate to live a few streets away from Lincoln Center (one of the areas that NYFW takes place), I can't bank on being able to swing by my apartment when I'm off to shows, presentations, gifting suites and so much more. So I ensure that everything is not only fashionable but I can run my office from anywhere and still hang out with my girls as we touch base between sushi and cocktails (love TB'ing with Raijean, my sister, Makeda, Kitty and more).
So to stay fab and connected, I suggest the following! Like many my iPad allows me to do a number of things from staying on schedule, taking notes, taking some pics etc. Keep it fab by including it in my Linea Pelle (love that they are sponsoring me this season and that you will see me rocking their bags, belts and of course my case) Dylan Croco iPad Case. I'm not an orange girl per se but it's Paul's fave color and I love rocking hues that he loves seeing. I love the Go Smart Stylus which allows me to work on my iPad without using my fingers and to accurately selecting what needs to be done. As I never know when I'm traveling, my passport is always on hand and I enclose it in a vibrant holder by Lodis. All of this can fit into my Bottega Veneta bag which is a fab hobo in a caramel color.
My key accessory is a scarf and I love this one by Guess that works well with a number of looks or if there is a slight chill in some of the presentation areas. I am a huge fan of sunglasses and love this retro oversized pair by Miu Miu. Since I love to do touchups or to build upon a look, I always bring a few more cosmetic items than normal and this cosmetic case maintains a great pop of color by Givenchy cosmetic case. Finally, it's all about a fab wallet as you'll be pulling it out a number of times for whatever reason - no need to stop accessorizing, love this one by Alexander McQueen.
UPDATE: We have a special giveaway for our bloggers - Go Smart Stylus wants to give 4 of their fab instruments away! To enter to win, you must leave a comment below that includes your name, your blog and your Twitter handle. 4 winners will be selected to receive the Go Smart Stylus which allows you to navigate your tablet! We will announce a winner on Feb 7th (the first day of NYFW FW2013).

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.

Wearable Wednesdays: His Style ~ Homeward Bound
We love working in our remote offices during the holiday season! A chance to be out of the city for a bit as well as to gain a new perspective! His Style is about taking it preppy with fab accessories. We're huge fans of Rugby and although we're focusing on this striped cardi which is all about retro athletic style, we're loving everything else about this look too! As you head home, make sure to bring some other fab finds with this Saddle Weekender Bag from Ralph Lauren Purple Label as he'll want to cart his gifts. Pop on this super warm scarf from Bally which continues the stripes. We love fingerless gloves by Tyro with a great jersey stitch and finally, complete the look with Gucci aviator sunglasses which are always in style.

Swoonfest Saturdays: MFW SS2013 ~ Bottega Veneta
One of my favorite lines hit the runway today in Milan, during Fashion Week - Bottega Veneta! What's not to love in their shows with phenom colors for dressed, drool worthy handbags (personally obsessed with the yellow clutch) and oversized sunglasses! Anna Wintour of Vogue also attended this presentation - I would have loved to have seen her sunglasses as she always has great style.

Wearable Wednesdays: His Style ~ Packs Light
I love when it's time to travel (as you saw yesterday) and I love planning his outfit too. I love keeping it simple as you want to be able to access everything as well as to ensure that he's comfortable. I love these mustard stretch skinny jeans by Topman. Pair this up with a white tee by Vstr Visitor and is available on Swell. Let him slip into this Gucci leather drivers which are as comfortable as one can be on a flight and then hitting the ground running! With Tom Ford's sunglasses the look is nearly complete and a guy in aviators is never a bad thing!
Being a guy on the go, I'm all about protecting his iPad and interestingly enough, I make sure he has a number options. For this look, I love how he's rocking caramel and mustard tones so mobileexpressions by LuxMobile's textured iPad case is exclusively available at Target. They have you covered for a number of your most important tech items. He can slip this into his Obey Messenger bag which keeps everything stored and within hand reach!

Mingling Mondays ~ West Coast Bound
Vacations seem to be few and far between but I am constantly traveling! Tomorrow I will jet off to LA to mix business and pleasure together! I'm excited to be with my boyfriend on his Social TV conference that he produced and will be on panels for, I'll be working on a number of items involving the ever growing Kimmie brand and of course taking some much needed down time/ I'm loving that I will have a chance to enjoy some time by the pool!
When it's time to have some pool time, I believe in rocking it out! First you have to start with the bikini, I'm loving DVF who has an awesome zebra beaded ensemble which is perfect! Make it look super cute by slipping on a pair of shorts by Rag & Bone. Super cute shorts beg to have fab heels on and when in a bikini, I love rocking wedges and this pair by Brian Atwood is amazing! Rock on a pair of sunglasses with Tom Ford and finish it off with Bottega Veneta's woven leather satchel which is the perfect way to take much needed down time - when you can!

Wearable Wednesdays: NYFW FW2012/2013 ~ Sabina Les
While I attended Theia at Style 360, I popped by to see my friend Sabina of Sabina Les was showing outside of the show. As an Accessories Expert, I'm always looking for what's in, what continues to be a mainstay and how to translate that into my audience. Sabina's scarves are not only able to be worn in a number of ways but there are a number of prints that are perfect to add a pop of color into your look. Throughout the many years that I have known her, her attention to detail, quality materials and creative nature continues to ensure that these scarves keep getting major press and new devotees as well! These scarves took animal print to another level by placing them in a tasteful way. Every time I started focusing on a scarf from this new collection, I realized that I fell in love with it! With a revamped website, you have to check out all of her offerings, her press and so much more!

Wearable Wednesdays: His Style ~ Cold Weather Mix
Um, all I can say about yesterday's weather is - brrrr! How can it be that we have had phenom weather over the past few weeks and now we got a sudden burst of chilliness in the air! Today, we want to make sure that His Style reflects the need for cold weather accessories to brave the temperatures that will soon be the norm as we make our way in and out! I'm loving that we start with a down coat (loving that I just got one a few weeks ago that has come in handy) by Paul Smith. This coat has that great grey distressed hue and a wool with leather detail. This ensures that when you pop your color, you get to have this fab flare. I'm a firm believer in protecting your eyes by wearing sunglasses when you're outside. Rock this pair of Mosley Tribes to bring out your inner aviator. This dual grey color scarf by D & G will keep his neck warm and looking glam no matter where he happens to be. I'm also loving that his hands can still maneuver his smartphone thanks to Echo Design which has fab innovations that allows you to glide your finger across the screen. Rag and Bone has one of my favorite pairs of boots for men that mixed fab leather with a grey wool in the side panels on this cap toed shoe. Finally, he can lug all his necessities around with the Aidan Carry All Tote by UGG Australia. Together, his cold weather look will definitely ensure a double take.

Mingling Mondays : Kimmie's 5s ~ Citrus Spring
I hope everyone had an amazing holiday and I know that many will still continue to gift others and continue to enjoy the festivities. This week, Kitten Lounge looks to 2012 as it is bound to be an exciting and hectic time. It seems like we'll be in warm climates and the fact that everything that I saw on the runways during NYFW SS12 from color, prints, cuts and more are now available - I'm already looking how to include it within my wardrobe! I am a big believer in kaftans and this year, I will have a number of opportunities to rock this look whether I'm on the East Coast on fabulous beaches in the south in between meetings or on the West Coast! Note that kaftans are not just recreational but can be worn as complete looks which have been recreated here. The biggest takeaway of color to incorporate this season is Citrus - specifically: Clementine, Tangerine and Coral. These hues dominated the runways for men and women and whether you place it within your apparel or your accessories, you will be on trend without question.
Begin your look with your canvas which is this Babajaan maite grey kaftan with fringe. I love this hue and to truly make this neutral look pop, it's time to add citrus! Oliver People's is one of my fave brands when it comes to sunnies as they have a retro flare that I embrace. This oversized look creates a bit of a nod to a 70s flare which is always on trend no matter the look. Tiffany & Co presents a citrine ring which is the perfect cocktail to carry whether it's that time of day or not. Include this bracelet by Alexander McQueen which pops in the pyramid rivet style on a brass cuff. Slip on a pair of cork pumps with spikes by Christian Louboutin. Finally, a look isn't a look without a fabulous bag and I am officially in love with Michael Kors' ostrich embossed leather satchel bag which is full of color and texture in a vibrant tangerine.

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.

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!

Treasure Tuesdays: Event ~ Coach Carriage House Archives
Last night, I headed to the west side to see the upcoming Coach Spring 12 collection! Although I have been to the showroom, Legacy Stores and more, this was the first time (as well as American press) that I had been to the Coach Carriage House Archives! It was quite a treat as everything that you see which is in cases has been cataloged much like a library and goes back to the beginning of the heritage of the brand - which started with men's! They are one of the the few American leathergoods that does this! I enjoyed seeing one of the first kits that men held their shaving items in (which included an old box from Gillette) as well as a ball and catchers mitt from way back in the day! They also had many suitcase sets that were chic and items from newer collections of Coach and Poppy that were on display. Many people looked for their first bags within these cases.
Of course, Spring 12 was on display and I loved seeing this gorgeously blue woven bag which I think every girl will want to have on their arm, these super cute almost pill box satchels which is another nod to a mod era brought current as well as an amazing collab which will be available within the mens stores although it's totally unisex. It's an ode to NYC and is reversible which I love! The images on his bag showcase sunglasses (which you see everywhere in NYC), coffee cups (the fuel that we use in NYC) and handcuffs (so not touching how or why but it's an image he has). Take some peeks at the images from above and the archives which is rather an extensive area!

Swoonfest Saturdays: NYFW SS12 ~ Prism Presentation
So much for the weather report that threatened fashionistas everywhere with the possibility of our biggest series of days of getting rained out! Today, temperatures rose and my sister, Paul and I headed to Le Bain at the Standard Hotel. As the sun beat down on us on the deck and the astro turf, we were treated to a presentation by Prism which included vibrant bikinis, bathing wear for men and sunglasses! The models sunned and baked on the waterbed pods and even had a hot tub to jump into. Guests enjoyed Svedka Vodka cocktails, crepes with various options and mini popsicles in cucumber, beet and fudge. It was definitely fun to mingle with others and then head downstairs to the Standard Grill to enjoy a few beers and to cool down from the heat.

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Beach Brunch
When it gets super warm in NYC, my thoughts turn to SoBe where it's even warmer but totally acceptable to parade around in bikini infused looks! Here you have to have a coverup whether it's a gorge kaftan, sarong or a number of other looks. The cabanas are plentiful and you can meet your fellow gal pals there as you're fed grapes, order drinks and of course nibble on whatever happens to be on the menu. With that said, today's selection is a fab reversible bikini which is a HUGE essential for the summer in a vibrant fuschia color by Tooshie Tooshie (love the name), oversized pseudo translucent sunglasses by Dior, jellies redefined into these thong sandals by French Connection and of course everything can go in your brightly colored Cleobella Mexicana Clutch with your cards and info at the ready!

Wearable Wednesdays ~ His Style - Rising Temps
We've had some days here and there that are only a promise of the hot temperatures that are bound to be apart of our everyday norm! So in addition to carry the proper SPF and staying hydrated, having simple pieces that are perfect for running errands, grabbing lunch and more are an essential. The classic cargo short is a mainstay in many guys closets and should be one that you have in a number of colors. Keep it simple with fun tees, simple sandals and of course - sunnies are an absolute must to keep your eyes shielded! I'm also loving that these Lacoste sunglasses features in today's post was one of many goodies that can be found in the Accessories Council top picks that are perfect for Father's Day as well!

Fashionable Fridays ~ My Jet Set
As you read this, I am doing last minute errands as I get prepped to go to Austin for SXSW! I'm definitely traveling a lot and when that happens, I have my go to jet set outfits. I love and own this Paul Frank shirt - I have been a fan for years and have had this shirt for probably 2 and yet it's always my fave to travel in (although I'm also quite partial to my Lakers tank). I love yoga pants as well - anything form fitting but jersey to make it easier when you're going through TSA. To top it off, a cute hoodie (obsessed with PINK) so that I'm not to chilled on the flight and with better weather around the corner, flip flops by Havaianas are a must! Top everything off with a large pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses and the look is complete! I can't wait to see all my pals in Texas and to share PHENOM designers and boutiques with you there.

Swoonfest Saturdays ~ Outerwear Updated
What do I love most about this time of year? Beyond the fact that today is Christmas (Merry Christmas to everyone as we're only a few days away from the end of the year), it's about updating and pushing the fashion envelope. Our outwear takes on a new role as we are seen more in this gear then anything else. I find myself wearing amazing coats, shoes, etc as I pop in and out of showrooms and I can wear something very simply but I would rather people see how amazing certain coats, sunglasses, purses and boots look. In addition, with all the traveling coming up for HSN appearances, brand discussions with design topics and spokeswork - no matter how fab the temps will be - I will still have to board a plane out of NYC to get there!
With that said, this is what I am hoping is under one of the trees that I will visit. If not, I will definitely take the first 2 weeks in January acquiring these items that will be a major staple in my wardrobe. I believe when you're in cold weather, you need a chic coat so a Shearling one will be essential and with a number of pics being taken before you can even shimmy out of your coat - it has to be perfect. A great pair of boots that are over the knee will keep you warm and of course an amazing bag becomes the central focus of a look. Capping it all off with oversized sunglasses allows you to remain classic while being very chic. This is the winter signature look for me and as I get these items, I know you will see them in upcoming pictures!

Wearable Wednesdays ~ His Style Travels Well
It's all about moving around with ease and when he travels, there's no excuse to not be pulled together! If you know that you've got a flight whether it's a couple of hours or for much longer, learn to work a look that allows you to be comfortable while also showing that you don't throw your style out the window when you're moving and grooving. Now, I love to be cozy when I travel as planes can be chilly and I like to be cozy so I love this hooded cardigan (which you can totally steal for your own look as it's a good look on you - lucky lady) which is fab in grey! Under this, put on your favorite v-neck (James Perse, Gap Favorite T, etc) and then a nice pair of slim fit jeans in the wash of your choice. I am a huge believer in rocking a pair of Converse with this as a guy I once knew always travels with this footwear. Finally, the watch is an amazing way to wrap up this look. To fully look fab, rock your sunglasses and you're ready for whatever flight and if someone happens to snap a few pics you definitely won't be embarrassed!

Wearable Wednesdays ~ His Style #NYFW or A Night Out
Last week I let you in on a fab look that I am a huge fan of Wall Street! This week with NY Fashion Week kicking off tomorrow, I am sharing a fun look with you that works well when you are heading to the shows as well as to meet up for drinks, dinner and brunch. It's all about effortless dressing but at the same time showing fab style. Just like the whole boyfriend sweater for girls, this look is perfect for guys. It's a mix of collegiate wear from another era with a bit of that Geek Chic that is so amazing. To show that the style is definitely there, I love the idea of pairing it with a large gorgeous bag that is not a crossbody or something that looks anything like a backpack.
This look is fab since it simply requires a great pair of jeans, a collard shirt, a tie and a cardigan. You can pair this with boat shoes, driving shoes or even Italian sneakers - anything that is sleek. To complete the look, you can pair it with fab sunglasses and a watch and you're all set! I'd also suggest pushing back the cardigan sleeves and if you have an interesting sleeve, style it up and you're all set! I can't wait to see how many people wear this at the shows and this is a great look heading into the fall as well.

Mingling Mondays ~ Put it On & Educate
A few weeks ago, I was introduced to Gebo Mana, an Australian based company that creates limited edition (short run) T-shirts that assist in educating underprivileged children around the world! For every 5 shirts that are sold, a child is educated for an entire year via the Gebo Foundation! That's something worth sporting and supporting without a doubt! The shirts are 100% certified organic cotton and are from India. Each shirt displays images that are a mix of modern fashion and traditional tribal designs. The craftsman print, paint, embroider and stitch each one! This is the shirt that I received in the mail and I loved its minimalist packaging; however, there are a number of images that you can choose from on their website! When you receive your shirt, make sure you enter the information from your tags in to the system as each one is numbered. You can also reach out to their community by contacting them via Twitter @GeboMana as well as joining their GeboMana Fan Page on Facebeook!
I love my Mondays as these tend to be the only days in the week that I can work straight through without any events to interrupt my day! With that said, I may be on the balcony, heading to Starbucks, etc so my dress is super casual. Today's look incorporates the GeboMana shirt which I truly believe in, a pair of my new shorts, the Sebago shoes that are part of my summer/fall wardrobe as well as some other fab items. I don't know what today will bring but having the perfect tote where I can put my clutch laptop in it is key as well as the perfect accessories. I'm obsessed with the Farah Fawcet style sunglasses that allows me to embrace my inner Charlie's Angels as well as the fab octopus ring and leather cuff! Keep it cool and get things done!

Wearable Wednesdays ~ Coach's Fall Poppy Collection From Oasis Days to Crisp Nights
Last week I presented the question of whether everyday could be Poppy, if you missed it then you need to check back to find out about Coach's Poppy Fragrance collection. Now in addition to this amazing launch of Poppy's first fragrance, I'm super excited to be apart of Coach's MYNY Poppy campaign launch for fall! For those that are not familiar with Poppy, this is a fun fresh line that came out last year! How excited am I to show you guys the two images that I shot for the brand? I am always inspired by 70's elements, Audrey Hepburn and Barbie (don't ask) and I think these inspirations tie into both of these looks and yes I would definitely spritz a little Poppy to add to that whimsical but sexy sense of style. I have to say that I fell in love with the pieces that I wore because this collection has elements that you can still wear to the Hamptons, South Beach (my little oasis), etc - it's the perfect summer look! But I'm also excited about the fact that they have fab pieces for the Fall that will be perfect for brunches, crisp walks, Fashion Week and so much more. The only items that were missing in my looks were a fab pair of sunglasses as it's a great way to add an instant change to your overall look!
In the summer I love having a bit of that Boho Chic meets Miami so it's all about light and airy colors! A great way to add pop into the outfit are those nice goddess like qualities such as fab sandals. The Poppy Leather Glam Tote in Gold is beyond phenomenal and I do plan on wearing it to a blogger trip that I will take next month to SoBe, imagine having it at the Delano sitting poolside. It's roomy and fun and whatever the weather happens to be, the sun is always coming from you! I also love the Poppy Lightening Bolt Necklace which has Swarovski Crystals that are afixed to a black thunderbolt. Fun and edgy and works well in the fall as well. I love that this works well whether I'm in NYC or jetsetting!
Now I also received the fab Tyler Moto Jacket in Bordeaux is so chic, I love the Farah Fawcet feeling I had as soon as I put this jacket on! I am all about super cute heels (yes my little Jimmy Choos), a great pair of skinny heels, a tank and an awesome jacket which has fab zipper embellishments! This is something that can really work with my wardrobe and can travel well! Let me just say that when I opened the bag the jacket came in, it was definitely super luxe!
I'm so glad to be apart of this fun campaign and seeing that this is the second time that we have been apart of Coach's fab collaborations I'm excited to see the new collection and to introduce it to you!
