Vogue Made Me Do It

Today's post will be short and sweet, like my little chub of a french bulldog, Waffles who was too busy spazzing out to be captured in this photo (I blame his Mother, who had the genius idea of taking these pre-dog park).

Lately I've been obsessed with graphic tee's, and who can say no to a vogue inspired fashion one? Not this girl, that's who!

Holy Sale

Holy Sale Alert…
Happy Friday! C.wonder and Shop Bop are both having their annual gianourmous sales, so big that I have resulted to making up words! I just wanted to take a second to share some of my favorites.

C.Wonder

If you haven't been shopping C.wonder you are seriously missing out.
The perfect mix of pop & preppy are portrayed in bright colors with nautical nods. Some of my all-time closet favorites including this dress and the matching shorts all came from the perfection that is C.wonder store.

His & Hers - Bucketfeet

So today's post is kind of fun and cheesy all at the same time because my boyfriend/photographer/best friend, Paris is crashing this post! Plus I'm introducing a new section of my blog (I'm not sure if Paris knows this is going to be a thing now... Surprise!): His & Hers.

This summer I want to wear white and only white …
all day, everyday, non-stop white! 

Oh and when I say white, you know I mean white, with a whole mess of bright colors and geometric patterns, right?

Summer in the city brings out a different side of me in all elements, including my style. I don't usually get tanner (I'm addicted to SPF and terrified of skin cancer) but my sunglasses get bigger, shorts get shorter (hopefully not too short) and my legs actually stay shaved -- well most days, so of course my color palette needs a complimentary makeover and my sights are set on bright white.

Macarons & Mimosas

This weekend I decided to host a little blogger gathering for some NYC gals ! It was a great chance for me to meet some of my favorites that I stalk from afar (creepy) and to catch up with some of  my blogger bffs while stuffing our faces!

I honestly had far too many macarons, I am only slightly ashamed (and strangley proud) to say my count hit the double digits. Macarons are such perfect dessert because they aren't too too sweet and are perfectly portioned so you can stuff your face without feeling too guilty.

To the Gym & Beyond

I think there is absolutely no reason not to look cute at the gym! Back in my dancing days (did you know I was a competitive dancer? friends/colleagues of mine have even gone on to dance and star on glee, compete and win SYTYCD and even dance on tour with Beyonce and Lady Gaga!) I always had to get ready for class, even if I was just going to sweat it up! I am a firm believe that if I do not look my best, I can't do my best! When I used to do Yoga the girls I would take with would always make fun of me because I would always show up in no makeup except for my red lipstick, wearing a headband or bow in my hair without fail … so yes, looking your best at the Gym or wherever you work out is a must!

As Good As Gold

A little gold can go a long way, but what about a lot of gold? Well today I am pushing the limits of this metallic color by piling it on! You can't ever have too much gold right?

Oh and because I'm dripping in gold and going to share an embarrassing confession from my past at the end of this post (stay tuned) I request that you read this post while playing the Goldfinger theme song from Austin Powers in your head. Cue music and Beyonce voice,"Solid Gold"

Stripey Stroll

Okay, so there might be a chance that my stripe obsession is a wee bit out of control … and maybe this post is the proof. Today Waffles and I stole 5th avenue in non-stop stripes

Seersucker Safari

Today we're going on a little style safari by pairing two different prints together, with a twist! I'm wearing Safari prints & seersucker - two contrasting patterns, but keeping it monochromatic in summer blues!

A Carrie Moment

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with Carrie Bradshaw - she will always be one of my favorite TV fashionistas (along with Blair Waldorf). Carrie changed fashion for everyone and I look to her style almost everyday for inspiration. Every time I twirl through NYC in tulle I think of CB! Today was no different, so I had to share this very, Carrie moment filled with stripes, tulle and of course, stilettos.

The Tropical Romper

Everyone has those lazy days, where you don't want to get out of bet, let alone out of your Pajamas - for me, those days are called wednesdays.... Well today today I'm wearing my Pajamas, yes Pajamas, in public and I don't care who knows it! 

Lemon Drop

I've been keeping it rather casual for the weekend lately, and this weekend was no exception! Waffles and I wandered about wearing my sum mer go-to's while, running errands, testing out my new bucket bag and stopping to play with other Frenchies. The West Village is crawling with these little bug eyed monsters and Waffles is loving it, a little baby french even moved in across the street… named Mr. Smith - too cute!

Little Red Pineapple

Sporty styles are here to stay! I've packed my stilettos away in my kitchen - yes, I keep my shoes in the kitchen… I order take out like its my job so I had to fill my empty kitchen cabinets with something - and started stepping into crazy-cool slides!

Summer Statements

It's official summer - but I'm not yet wardrobe ready, uh-oh!

So today we're talking summer statements and showcasing a few ways to make a big splash with your seasonal style!

A Statement Shade

Summer is a fun, and playful season where anything goes! Now's the time to test out those giant cat-eye frames - they'll protect you from the sun while serving as the perfect accessory to spruce up a simple white dress! I double dog dare you to pick a statement shade in a powerful color for two-times the impact! If you're up for the challenge, just remember to tone down the rest of the look by wearing neutrals and simple silhouettes so you don't over do it!

Featuring:

Kamali Kulture Square Cat Eye Sunglasses in Pink

TopShop Textured Crop Skater Dress in White

Anjolee Woven Diamond Eternity Ring

Or you can create your own custom Diamond wedding ring via Anjolee, swoon!

Black Bardot Crop Top (similar black sweetheart shoulder crop top)

Tory Burch Laken Clear Lucite Box Clutch

J.crew Lilien Metallic Silver Sandal

Dolce & Gabbana the Lipgloss Intense Colour Lipgloss in Raspberry

Lauren Ralph Lauren Silver Ball Stud Earrings

A Statement Skirt

Just like Spring, Midi Skirts are a Summer must! They look fab, work for day or night and help keep you cool in the summer heat. And since flamingos are having a major moment this season (what took us so long), I don't see any reason not to show off your stems in a flamingo printed skirt.

Shop the Look:

Alice and Olivia Hale Flamingo Puff Skirt

Nasty Gal Metal Heart Sunglasses

Marc by Marc Jacobs Enamel Daisy Ring 

Halogen Patent Leather Stripe Clutch

Gumdrop Kate Spade Small Square Studs in Black

Heartbreaker Two Part Heel Sandals from TopShop

A Statement Print

Big, bold prints work great for summer. Invest in a strikingly printed maxi dress to pair with neutral sandals and matching bag. The end result will be effortlessly chic but still fashion forward and help you make a big summer statement!

Featuring:

Harven Black and White Striped / Chevron Dress

Mango Contrast Beige Bucket bag 

Loren Stewart Pearl & Gold Wire Choker

Ray-Ban Folding Clubmaster Sunglasses in Black

TopShop Nowhere Nude Strappy Black Sandal Heels in beige

Anchor and Rope Necklace from C.wonder Store

A Statement Color

I have never felt the laziness of summer until I moved to NYC. Somedays, it's just too dang hot. I'm from Arizona, so I know heat - but the shorting New York humidity is a whole different animal that drives me bananas! Somedays I just want to throw on a simple skirt or dress and call it a day - that's when a statement color can really come in handy. Instead of reaching for black or white on those too-hot-to-care days, pull on a pink wrap dress, bright blue maxi or orange skirt! These brights will help make a cool summer statement and help hide the fact that you're trying not to melt into a colorful puddle.

Shop this look:

Michael Kors Pleated Chiffon High Low Orange Skirt

Flower Bud Tassel Pendant from J.crew

Ann Taylor Peacock Stackable Rings

White Metallic Laser Cut Beach Tote Bag 

Mango Textured Sleevless Croptop

The Skort Suit

This summer, I'm skirting, no skorting the rules! It's far to hot for a full suit, so I switched things up with a skorted suit. If that wasn't enough, I'm also adding a pop of pink to brighten everything up!
