Ann Taylor black leopard dress / LOFT shoes / Zara moccasin / Clutch / Dorothy Perkins metallic purse, $24 / Michael Kors watch / MICHAEL Michael Kors tortoise shell hoop earrings / Stella & Dot earrings
When I laid eyes on this Ann Taylor dress, I instantly thought, this is so versatile, I could wear this with gold or silver. So, I figured it would be a perfect time to show you how. I'm in the process of becoming a Stella & Dot Stylist and I have these gorgeous black and gold earrings on my sample list to bring to parties. So excited! I'm loving these Zara flats as well! Can't wait to pick these up next payday
Which is your favorite look, gold or silver?

Peplum sweater / Banana Republic striped pencil skirt / Clutch / Kate Spade watch / Stella & Dot preppy jewelry / Stella & Dot earrings / Clinique lip treatment
A few nights ago I went to a Stella & Dot jewelry party. I loved a ton of pieces that Stella & Dot has, so much that I'm really thinking about becoming a stylist with them. I purchased the "renegade" bracelet and can't wait until it's at my door! I had about 10 other wishlist items that my Stylist took note of and is going to email my hubby my wishlist, so he can get me some things for Xmas and my bday in January. I thought that was such a great idea! This is also good if I become a S&D Stylist, I know exactly what I'm going to add to my collection to bring to trunk shows. Anyway, I selected this fun red Stella & Dot statement necklace and cz studs to style for work with a fun striped skirt and black peplum top.
How would you wear this statement necklace??

One of my best girlfriends' bday's is coming up and she decided that a bunch of her closest friends and significant others will do dinner and a comedy show to help her celebrate. I can't wait to go out with everyone and celebrate my bestie! Here's what I'm thinking of wearing. A flowy top and some skinny jeans. Statement necklace (would you expect anything less?) and a pair of hot pumps! Depending on the day, and if I'm due for a hair wash or not, I'll do a cute bump and some curls, or a blowout.

Gap red stripe cardigan / 7 For All mankind / LOFT capri / Jessica Simpson pumps / ASOS handbag / Melie Bianco shoulder bag / BaubleBar ivory necklace / J.Crew brown leather belt / Pour La Victoire Mai
Today I found this fun striped cardigan from Gap (I'm on a Gap kick lately I guess) and I decided to show how to style it dressed up for work, and dressed down for a casual Friday. For work a normal workday, I paired it with a pair of black crop pants and mixed print with a leopard belt. When mixing prints, try to stay neutral everywhere else. That's why I chose a neutral purse and shoes. For a casual Friday outfit, I paired it with a pair of skinny jeans and comfortable Jessica Simpson wedges. Both outfits can rock this Baublebar statement necklace, need to get my hands on this one!

Love this new dress I just bought from GAP. It's perfect for work and also a night out. Last week I went to Girls Night Out at the Westchester Mall with 3 of my girlfriends. It was so fun! There was a fashion makeover show with 3 lady's that were in need of a makeover and they ended up looking great. There was a ton of vendors lined up giving out food and wine samples and a lot of the stores were giving discounts to shop that night. It was a great night to get together with my ladies and see the new Fall fashion and try some tasty goodies from nearby White Plains restaurants.

I love a good 3/4 sleeve striped shirt. You can wear it in the summer with shorts and then wear it with a great pair of jeans at night or in the Fall. Put on a pair of brown boots to make it even more Fall-like. Dress it up with this necklace or pearls, or dress it down with a tassel necklace. You can do so many things with a striped shirt.

H&M shirt, $20 / Kenneth Cole faux leather jacket / LOFT stripe skirt / Enzo Angiolini polish shoes / Topshop satchel purse / Kate Spade analog watch / BaubleBar fringe necklace
This would be a perfect outfit for a chilly summer night. Going out to dinner and then for a walk on the boardwalk or through the park afterwards? This is the perfect Kenneth Cold jacket, which you could carry into Fall. I paired it with a statement necklace and cute stripe skirt that you can also wear to work or throw it on with a T-shirt and sandals, and you can wear it running errands. Pulling the pink out of the statement necklace, I chose this Topshop satchel purse. You can wear the purse, this summer, and probably for Spring. I wouldn't for Fall.

LOFT striped dress / Charlotte Russe wedge shoes / Tory Burch beach purse / Tory Burch / Pendant jewelry
We're in the market for a new house, so I wanted to put together an idea of what I would wear if we go to meet with a realtor and check out some houses. I wanted to be comfortable, getting in and out of the car, cute shoes that I could walk a lot in, and a larger purse to hold all our home fliers. A simple pendant and Tory Burch studs and we're good to go. Comfortable, but still classy and put together.
What would you wear to look at houses all day??

I love a good pair of boyfriend jeans. You can dress them up or down. Way down with a t-shirt and flip flops, or way up for a night out with motorcycle jacket and pumps. Today I chose the middle of the road for each. The left side is perfect for a movie date, or shopping with girlfriends, the right side is a little more dressy for going out to dinner, with adding a statement necklace and a fun pair of heels.
What's your favorite outfit with boyfriend jeans?

Forever 21 color block top / American Eagle Outfitters short shorts / Old Navy animal print flat / Steven by Steve Madden tote / Kate Spade white dial watch / Talbots fake earrings / Gap scarve
Since I'm off from work today, it's all about being cozy casual. This scarf is perfect for summer, and you can pair it with some dark browns for Fall. The material of this Gap scarf is so light that you can even wear this with a tank top to jazz up an outfit and not sweat your a$$ off.
Do you have any summer scarves?

Aéropostale long sleeve shirt / Gap / Enzo Angiolini shoes / FOSSIL tote bag / MICHAEL Michael Kors / Lips makeup
Love this summer tote bag from Fossil, you can pair it with practically anything. I chose to style it with my go-to errand outfit. When it's not "hot-as-balls" out, I like to wear my chambray, and found these fun sandals at the Nordstroms Sale. Throw on some pink lipgloss, and you are ready to go pick up your Rx's, grocery shop, and meet a girlfriend for a coffee break!
Have you gotten into the print shorts trend yet!?? If you haven't, you should!

If I wasn't saving for our next trip, I would totally be purchasing a lot from the Nordstroms Anniversary Sale. These statement leopard ankle strap heels would be the first thing in my shopping cart! I def. would wear these to work, and I would pair it with a white blazer and white handbag for summer. They are so versitile, you can wear them with skinny jeans, boyfriends jeans and short shorts for going out too. Can't wait to pair them with darker bold colors in the Fall.

Tinley Road sleeveless top / Gap jeans / Seychelles wedge sandals / MICHAEL Michael Kors , $470 / Michael Kors jewelry
This outfit is a little bit corporate and a little bit rocker. I love mixing pieces that are a little daring for my corporate workplace. This Michael Kors Runway double strap watch is the perfect item to wear to make any boring outfit more fun. I can see myself wearing this to work when I don't have any face-to-face meetings and will just be at my desk all day. Comfortable wedges are another staple item when running around the office and they still look super cute! This outfit would be perfect for teachers as well, and since school's out, I guess I'm talking about summer school haha.

J.Crew stripe top / Michael Stars / Sole Society wedge heels / Blu Bijoux anchor charm / Steve Madden Flipper | Piperlime
Found this anchor rope bracelet online and loved the summer nautical feeling it had and couldn't wait to build an outfit around it. Sometimes when getting dressed, I pick one statement piece and go from there. Other times, it's shoes, or a shirt. This bracelet was my main point of interest this time and thought a perfect striped shirt would pair perfectly. I haven't ordered anything from Sole Society as of yet, but I'm dying to. They have such great looking shoes that I'm dying to own. A purchase might be in my near future.
Are you feeling the nautical trend?

Robin Piccone sheer bathing suit / Vix long caftan / Steve Madden leather shoes / Tinley Road bib statement necklace
A friend of mine is headed to Vegas to have a little fun girl time and that got me thinking what would be the perfect outfit to wear to one of the pool parties. This one-piece from Nordstroms is super fun, sexy but still has a lot of coverage for those that aren't 100% for a two piece. Add a statement necklace and a fun cover-up and you are ready to dance the day away, poolside with a cocktail in hand. Throw your hair up in a bun for an easy out of your face style that still looks put together, no mater how hot/sweaty you get.
