POSHEstyle: Combat Boots + Smiley Face

It ain't easy being a woman in today's world....especially if you're a strong-willed, resilient and independent one. That's why I approach everyday, every challenge, every roadblock the same way - with a fiercely positive attitude and a determination to overcome and succeed! 

That's exactly what this outfit stands for - these combat boots by Aldo are a few seasons back but classic enough to not fade to the trends, and perfect for a #BossBabe on a mission. I've always been big on adding socks to funk up an outfit and these uber-cool "Snoop Dogg" Happy Socks did just that - not to mention - my obsession with their bid to Reggae as a proud Jamaican - Brap, Brap!!  

Ok, so mixing hard and soft elements together is probably my all-time favorite look to style. I love the juxtaposition of merging masculine and feminine touches, and that's where a fun, flirty dress came in ;) This olive green H&M dress is so light and airy - it literally glides with your body, and I always feel so feminine whenever I wear it.

And now, lets talk about this mood booster of a bag - it's sure to brighten anyone's day! I found it at a little boutique and it's brand-less, but there are so many cool graphic accessories trending now - I'm sure an alternative wont be that hard to find. 

The final accessories are most definitely the coolest part of this entire look. These one-of-a-kind rings by IZA are beyond rock & roll. You have to check out the designer concept store, Flying Solo, at 224 Mulberry Street in Soho to find them - beware though - you wont be able to choose easily from all the amazing jewelry at this store. 

As women, we have the pressure of finding a balance between being thick-skinned, strong, assertive, and still being demure, elegant, soft - otherwise we're either taken advantage of, or labeled as too difficult. This outfit is for every fierce, fun, fearless female - who lives her life in "combat boots with a smiley face" - and every man who respects and loves her for being the #hero she is! 

Happy International Women's Day - EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!! ( Just in case you forgot to keep celebrating)

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day1 - White Knit Sweater + Black Leather Skirt

With just one show scheduled off site, the Yuna Yang Fall 2015 collection, my first day of Fashion Week was a breeze. I decided to go with a look that was simple and effortless. It was a very chilly evening in NYC and I wanted to feel cozy and comfortable. For what was to be a light and relaxed night, a classic black and white monochromatic look was a no brainer. 

One of my favorite items right now is my pencil leather skirt from my clothing line LAPOSHE. You'll see I wore a few pieces from my collection throughout the week and will have them up on the shop for pre-orders soon. 

I paired the skirt with a sleeveless turtleneck sweater vest from Forever21 and a sleek, fitted heat-tech top from Uniqlo. Layered over that was my vintage fur coat, which keeps me so warm I would wear it everyday if I didn't consider that a fashion crime. Aldo ankle booties with gathered socks, and my trusted Gucci Soho Disco bag finished off this feminine yet edgy look. (click images to expand) 

 

My photographer wasn't available this evening so these pics aren't my usual high quality, but I didn't want to not document the look for your guys, so I made due with what I had. Leave a comment below if you like this classic combo.
