POSHEstyle: Lace Dress + Belted Scarf

The snow may finally be behind us, but this was the first day of Spring - and what a white one it was! 

Nonetheless, it was a lovely day. Central Park's beauty transcends seasons. Whether with its lush greens and blooming gardens or as a Winter wonderland, it's always a scenic and serene escape from the concrete buildings and busy streets.  

Crochet is a huge trend for Spring and so are white dresses. I've had this H&M number for a little while but like I always say - invest in piece that can stand the test of time (classics first) and then add the trends here and there (trends after).  

The micro length of the dress made it the perfect candidate for my thigh high boots by Monika Chiang. Wearing a mini shift dress with thigh high boots leaves only a hint of skin exposed, making it more fashion-forward and sophisticated. 

The belted scarf has also been a popular look, and I've been doing it for a while but hadn't document. This Oudifu scarf is so warm and chic with the elephant prints. I love that it is reversible between predominantly burgundy or predominantly white. I wore it on the white side for a more all-white subtle look, with the elephant print complementing my burgundy David and Young fedora. 

Even with all the snow, it wasn't a super cold day, so I layered with a light coat from Forever21. What I love most about this coat is its feminine style. It also looks great worn as a dress - I'll do a post on that look as well soon. 

The final details to this look were my Chanel J12 watch, Tiffany & Co bracelet and Ray-Ban aviators.

POSHEstyle: Bold Stripes + White Denim

It seems stripes return to the spotlight every year, but this season's play on the motif is bigger and bolder then ever - from mod zigzag to sailor motifs this print will be a hit on the streets for Spring/Summer 2015. 

Stripes can be tricky however, as they don't compliment every body type. When shopping, keep this in mind - horizontal stripes can widen a body frame and vertical stripes can add height. If the bold is too much for you, I recommend trying thin stripes. They are sophisticated and timeless, and also a great staple that pair well with almost everything. 

White denim is also back and more transitional than ever.  Though a summer favorite, white  has become a year round basic, and we'll be seeing much more for 2015. 

I wore this high-rise pair by Levi's with a cropped sweater from Forever21, and an oversized Forever21 moto jacket. A classic pair of Christian Louboutin pigalle and Gucci soho disco bag complemented the neutral color theme of the outfit. Final touches included; vintage brooches, a Sara Designs Swarovski crystal wrap bracelet and America Eagle mirrored aviators.

POSHEstyle: Sequins to the Office

Sequins to work? Sure you can!

I love to experiment when it comes to corporate style by wearing pieces that aren't generally associated as office appropriate. Wearing sequins to the office is one such situation. Many fear wearing sparkles during the day or believe it's too much for work, but this shimmery fabric - if done right - can really make an outfit.   

The main trick is to rock sequins in a casual-glam way that looks effortlessly chic. Mix your sequins with something more casual or classic, to offset and balance the glitz. Another tip - especially if trying this look for the first time - stick to the darker hues of a color, such as, navy blue, black, maroon or a deep purple. The darker the color the more subtle the sequins. 

The pencil length of this sequins skirt naturally gives it a sophisticated flair and is a great choice for an office look. Though I originally purchased this Forever21 skirt for a dressy event, I decided to add a little pizzazz to my day and wear it to work instead. Why not? 

I paired the skirt with a crisp white shirt from ASOS and a Forever21 navy blue turtleneck sweater-vest with the most interesting cut-out side details. For more corporate chicness, I added a white blazer from H&M with white Christian Louboutin pigalle pumps. 

I kept the accessories at a minimum with my Hermes watch, Tiffany & Co bracelet, diamond rings and one of my favorite pieces, a delicate evil-eye necklace.

The final touch necessary to pull together your corporate style and truly make it work appropriate is your bag. I love Coach's assortments. The styles are clean, classic, contemporary and a great price point. It's a classic brand with a solid reputation and a great choice for work. This Coach double zip bag has multiple compartments, is a great size and the neutral blue color works with everything. I even took a break from the office, as you saw in the video above, to visit the store. I'm on the hunt for a new classic black work bag.

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day5 - Rose Gold + Nike Sneakers

I've lived the majority of my adult life at least 4 inches above ground but 2014 gave me a new perspective on ground level when I transitioned sneakers from workout gear to casual style. 

"Fashion sneakers" have been a major style trend over the past few seasons and I even featured the look as a fashion editor in my watch-list last Spring, but my obsession with heels prolonged the inclusion into my personal style. However, by day 5 and with a schedule from 10 am to 9pm, my feet were in need of some serious TLC and these Nike sneakers came to the rescue. 

What I love most about these sneakers, is how the neutral tones of gray, black and white, contrast with the pop of pink. They are not only chic and comfortable, but contrary to my position years back, also stylish and fashion-forward. 

Now to the outfit! I've had this rose gold jeans from BCBG for a few months now, but didn't have the right complement nor occasion to wear it. I found this faux leather rose gold cropped top at Forever21 right before my Jamaican vacation, and thought this was it but didn't get the urge to wear the outfit until Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Though the smallest size in the top was still big, I decided to buy it anyways and have it altered. I always advise my clients to do the same when they're having difficulties finding the right fit due to their body structure. 

Not only am I conscious when it comes to baring skin in a cropped topped, but I was also dressing for winter so I layered the rose gold set with a classic white boyfriend shirt from Joe Fresh. I layered that with a camel boyfriend jacket from Forever21 and accessorized the look with my Chanel Le Boy, Bulova watch and American Eagle aviators, keeping the jewelry very minimal given the overall metallics. Initially, I had planned to pair the look with my Christian Louboutin white python pigalle heels but my feet had different ideas and I conceded. I did however switch into them for the final shows that evening, ending in true poshestyle.
