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: NYFW Day2 - Zara Jumpsuit + Vintage Moschino

How's this for a late New York Fashion Week post? I've been busy working on a project that I'm launching soon. Super excited and scared at the same time because I hope you dolls will love it. Anyways, I think this post was worth the wait :) 

Royal blue is one of those colors that looks great on EVERY skin tone. Its deep vivid tone is eye-catching and flattering. If you haven't already, include this color in your wardrobe and let the compliments roll. 

This wide leg jumpsuit was a great find at Zara. It was the last in the store, on sale and a size small..can I just say, lucky me :)  I love how light and easy it is. Plus, it sometimes looks like a maxi dress as well - score!

I went with a monochromatic all-over blue look by layering with this vintage navy Moschino blazer I found on ebay. Yes, that's a shopping secret of mine, I've found some amazing vintage pieces online from consignment sites, luxury resellers and ebay. The bicycle accents won me over instantly. They're so quirky and chic. 

The final details were a lace-up sandals also bought on sale at Zara, a vintage Chanel bag, mirrored aviators from American Eagle, Bulova watch and few midi rings.

POSHEstyle: The White Tee

Sometimes the simplicity of a white tee is all you need to take an outfit from bland to ultra stylish. It can be paired with everything - jeans, skirts, slacks, shorts - and my ultimate favorite, dresses - for a tres chic ensemble. 

However, keep in mind not all white tees are the same, and different fits work for different silhouettes and styles. Choosing the right tee isn't as simple as it sounds - I'll be sure to do a post on that soon ;) 

With a wardrobe that is mostly filled with blacks, white, neutrals - it's refreshing when I wear a little color. I found this high-waisted skirt at H&M with the prettiest floral print. It's a great length without being too exposed, and the high-waist elongates the legs and clinches at the smallest part of the waist for a very flattering fit. 

Pairing a printed skirt with a crisp white t-shirt keeps the skirt the focal point, and the look effortlessly chic. This American Apparel v-neck fitted tee hugs the figure for a seamless silhouette that is feminine and flirty. A more dressy alternative would be a silk top in white or any color from the skirt's palette. A sweet, soft blush color would be my next choice. 

I hate to face it, but Fall is not too far away and I am already in planning mode. I am very big on shopping smart and investing in pieces that are transitional throughout seasons. Taking this look from summer to fall is easy with a layered blazer. This coral piece from H&M is a sweet addition. 

I recently launched the POSHEshop (be sure to check it out) where I will be bringing capsule collections of things I wear, exclusive designers, original pieces and a host of goodies including this mint LAPOSHE clutch in a variety of colors. I had this one personally monogrammed with my zodiac sign "Gemini" and I absolutely LOVE it! 

 

Blocked heels have been a big trend this season and these nude beauties from Kensie have been a life-saver for me. I have worn then repetitively with their versatility and comfort. 

The final details included; a Bulova watch, American Eagle aviators, stacked mixed metallic rings, and a mint beaded necklace. Accessories are the special touches that brings an outfit to life - whether it be minimalist or art-deco, over-the-top glam - and these mint colors play so well with the floral skirt and on the white shirt for a cohesive and dynamic look.

POSHEstyle: Red, Blue & White - Happy 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day to my American friends and family. Let's get this party started!!

I welcome any reason to celebrate and share positivity, and there is nothing more dynamic and exhilarating than a fireworks show. I wasn't born an American but it's been a second home and love for the majority of my life. It's partly responsible for my passion for fashion and creative expression. Living in NYC inspires me, pushes me, and molds me everyday. We are all products of our experiences, and I'm happy to have the US be a apart of my journey of self-discovery and development. 

I know many of us refrain from the cliche color code of national holidays and celebrations, but the trick is knowing how to coordinate an outfit that's wearable without looking like a billboard for patriotism. Think waving the flag versus wearing it!

I found this chambray overall on the sale rack at H&M for $20 last week (score), and given my obsession with jumpsuits I had to have it. It's perfect for the summer - light, cool and easy to wear - and a great alternative to denim because it's more flexible. It's also blue, so fitting for a 4th of July inspired look. 

I have been coveting a Mansur Gavriel bag for over a year and last week that dream came through. My lovely friend and FIT alum, recently started working with the company and was sweet enough to hook a girl up...thanks Ali!  

If you don't know by now, these gorgeous, utilitarian, Italian made bags are on the "must-have" list of every fashionista and style influencer. They are constantly sold out and have garnered Birkin-esque waiting lists, so getting your hands on one is major. Suffice to say, I was very happy to snatch this red bucket bag and just in time for the holiday weekend. 

Now for the white! Wedges are a summer stable and this season is no different. I've had these Charlotte Russe espadrille style wedges for a few years and I hope they give me a few more. They are super high but super comfy - a rare combo and heaven sent for a woman who loves heels as much as I do. 

This is a very relaxed outfit that's perfect for a barbecue or a casual day out, but can easily transition to a rooftop fireworks viewing party. I kept the accessories minimal with a pair of RayBan wayfarer, a Bulova watch and a few rings. 

So, there you have - my red, blue and white - 4th of July inspired outfit. It's chic, effortless, wearable and still says "Happy Birthday America!"  (click images to enlarge)

POSHEstyle: Little White Eyelets Dress

The warm sunny days are finally here and all I have to say is bring on the LIttle White Dresses!  

Every woman knows the rule of thumb of the "Little Black Dress" - it is the powerhouse of dresses and closet staple with its timeless, classic and versatile characteristics - no closet should be without this piece. But, the "Little White Dress" is a force of style not to be overlooked. It is the quintessential summer perfection with its light, feminine and effortless chicness. 

Not to forget mentioning, it looks great on every complexion and with so much variety of styles and fits, every figure can find a dress that flatters. I am particularly partial to the flared A-line cut. It is sweet and feminine, works for every body type, and a great option for women who want to camouflage their stomach and thighs - areas I have found with many of my clients to cause major frustration. 

This white cotton eyelet dress that I found at a steal shopping at Marshall's, screams summertime fun - it's the perfect complement to the season and a must try, so get to shopping and find your eyelet closet addition.

For the overall look, I went for a low-key, minimalistic, boho-chic vibe - pairing earth tone elements with the dress. Last year, I was invited to participate in a focus group as an industry influencer and fashion consultant for a Brazilian brand called Schutz, entering the US market and newly launched in NYC. I was given a gift certificate to go to their Madison Avenue flagship store to evaluate the shopping experience and products. Needless to say, I was very excited walking out of the store with not just one, but two beautiful pairs of shoes, including this woven gem of a boot. 

I'm not a big fan of the fanny pack, but I found this super adorable belt bag by Michael Kors a couple years ago and it has finally made its debut. I love how sleek and compact it is. The python texture, woven belt and gold details makes it a true stand-out piece. With the boots and the bag being such unique, eye-catching statements, I kept other accents very minimal, wearing a gold Bulova watch, a gold ring and a beige-framed Ray-Ban wayfarer - keeping the look cool, calm and collected ;)
