POSHEstyle: The James "Twiggy" Jeans

When it comes to jeans, we're all looking for that perfect fit, and these come pretty close...

During Fashion Week in September, I was invited to a blogger event by a brand - James Jeans - out of L.A. I had never heard of them, but after a little background check realized it was a 10-year brand, sold in some of the most premium stores in the US, and a not-to-miss event. 

The result of that dedication - a goodie bag that included the "Twiggy" skinny jeans. I'm crazy about these jeans and now a big fan of the brand. The fit is great, fabric is comfortable, and the high-waisted look is super chic. I feel so at ease and light in them- a rarity - and the special dart design feature on the back pockets really does help to shape those ass-ets ;)  

I bought this "We are all cool kids" t-shirt a few months ago and if you know me, you know I love any and everything inspirational and uplifting. Le Motto does just that with its positive messages t-shirt line.  Being born in Jamaica, I grew up with the principle of "One Love" for all humanity. I am extremely anti-bully and live by the notion of an inclusive society, where no one should feel like an outcast. It breaks my heart to see the state our world and its people are in, and this t-shirt is just a little reminder we are ALL special. 

I layered the outfit with a metallic tweed bomber jacket by Petticoat Alley, and finished the look with a pair of wine red BCBG pumps, my everyday accessories - Bulova watch, Cartier Love ring, midi rings - and another obsession of mine, the Gucci Soho bag. 

This is an outfit that is not only chic but equally comfortable...so much so, I think I may wear it again today :)

POSHEstyle: The BCBG Maxi Dress

There are so many reasons to love a maxi dress....let's count the ways....

A long flowing dress is the ultimate statement of feminine sophistication. Its soft, elegant silhouette brings an aura of easy, breezy, beautiful. This BCBG maxi was a treat for the final day of NYFW, and the last days of summer. The pastel colors are fresh and striking, and the flowing hemline was like walking on cloud 9 instead of the bricks and concretes of NYC. 

It's the perfect summer attire and though not popularly worn, a great transitional piece for fall. The trick is to treat a maxi dress as a skirt; layer with a blazer, a leather jacket, a comfy knit sweater. I wore it with this linen boyfriend blazer by Comptoir des Cotonneirs. It added an element of effortless chicness, and was airy enough for a cool summer day. 

The racerback cut at the back of the dress is sporty and flirty. I personally find a detailed back very alluring and one of the sexiest cuts a woman can wear.

 Another great thing about a maxi dress - it elongates the body - so if you want to look a couple inches taller, add a pair of heels and let your inner model shine. These gold gladiator sandals by Guess surely did the trick for me!

I kept the accessories gold, wearing a vintage Chanel bag, Bulova watch, and a clinched belt to define the waistline.  The metallic accents picked up the shimmer in the blazer, and was a neutral complement against such a colorful dress. 

I couldn't have closed NYFW any better way than wearing this beautiful, elegant dress - I got so many compliments, and sweet gestures as I ran between shows on the streets on NYC. I felt like a real life princess - a maxi will do that to you...try it!

POSHEstyle: The Linen Blazer

Born an island girl, linen is one of my favorite fabrics to wear. It's cool, clean, chic, and a great transitional piece from summer to fall. 

I had been coveting this Banana Republic jacket from in the Spring, but it wasn't until late summer, and an awesome sale, that I got my hands on it.  The boyfriend fit is relaxed, and brings a casual element to a typically structured piece. It's easy to wear and great for layering. 

Blue jeans and a white shirt is quite possibly the easiest look anyone can throw together, and that's exactly what I did for this NYFW look. This soft, chiffon top by Liz Claiborne gave the outfit a feminine touch, against the more rugged, distressed Current Elliott denim shorts. 

Layering Sara Designs tribal necklaces added a pop of color and playfulness, especially complemented with this beauty of a shoe from Zara. The lace-up look ruled the pave walks all summer and walked its way right into the hottest trends for fall too. 

Now, to my favorite new item! On my recent European trip (posts still to come) I stopped in Paris for a couple days and made a visit to the LV flagship store. Needless to say, the Louis Vuitton Capucines BB returned to NYC with me. Its compact size and classic style is perfection. The arm handle and the shoulder strap make it versatile, and the nude color goes with everything! 

Living in NYC, I don't wear shorts as much as I did in my island days, but layer a boyfriend blazer and add a pair of strappy sandals - and viola -  short shorts are city chic! (click to expand)
