Tough as Leather

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Leather has always been a Fall/Winter staple but this year it’s everywhere from panels in trench coats to skirts. Here are a few pieces that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe. Leather jackets are great because you can wear it with pants or dresses. If leather jackets are not your speed, why not a leather skirt with a pretty blouse? Leather is a good way to add polish and edge to your outfit. Give it a try to see how you feel, you might just like how you look!

What leather styles are you willing to try?

Have a great day!

Casual Friday/On the Road Again

TGIF!

This weekend, I’m heading home to New York City (Bronx born and raised!) to visit family and attend the BlogHer conference (I’m so excited about going!).  Whenever I go home I take the bus because  a) driving to NYC is a pain in the butt  b) New Yorkers drive INSANE (yep I said it!) and  c) there is no parking in my sister’s neighborhood.  Plus, I don’t like to drive at ALL.    If I had my way people would have the ability to beam everywhere like they do on “Star Trek”!

Whenever I travel in the summer, I either wear shorts or a maxi dress for comfort.  Since I’m  leaving right after work, I went for the maxi dress.  This  Old Navy maxi dress is colorful, lightweight and very comfy.  I got it a year ago for my family vacation to Las Vegas  and it quickly became my favorite dress.  I   paired it with my multicolored beaded necklace from the Avenue and wood cuff.  When I initially bought the necklace, I didnt have anything to wear with it, so it just sat in my drawer.  When I got the dress, I instantly thought of this necklace and the rest was history!

What do you like to wear when you travel? Have a wonderful weekend!

Dress: Old Navy

Necklace: the Avenue (I bought it a year ago)

Stepping Up

TGIF!!!

This past week, I was going through my sandals and I noticed something…they were all FLAT! Over the years I convinced myself that I would fall if I wore wedges or heels, so I shied away from them. Now Ive decided to move outside my comfort zone and add some height to my summer shoe wardrobe. Here are a few pairs of shoes I’m loving right now.

Are you going to give wedges or heels a try this summer? Have a great weekend!

Maxi Summer

Happy Hump Day all!

One of my favorite summer items is the maxi dress. The maxi dress is so versatile and comfortable. Add heels and a fun clutch and you have a date night outfit . Add a light blazer or sweater and you have the perfect casual Friday outfit.

Here are a few maxi dresses I’m currently loving. Which dress do you like and how would you wear it? Have a great evening!
