POSHEstyle: Blushing Nudes + Christian Paul Watch

Spring is in the air and we can feel Summer coming - with such sweet anticipation! But, though the season brings with it blooming beauties and clearer skies, it's also that time of the year for April showers and erratic temperatures - so don't put away all your warmer pieces just yet! 

That's what makes this Jessica Simpson trench coat so ideal - it gives an extra layer of warmth without the bulk and the pastel color is trend bullseye. 

Monochromatic nudes and blush tones are another "YES" this season. The all-over soft tones create big impact without being over-the-top. I'm obsessed with this BCBG rose gold skinny pants - the glitter effect makes it festive for night time fun, but it's subdued enough for daytime wear.  

L'amour is a gift - that's the truth - just one of the many reasons I am in love with Le Motto brand. The line of motivational and inspiring messages on basics, is super chic and classy. Just beware... you'll find it hard to choose which one - so be prepared to snatch a few. 

If you keep up with the blog, you've seen this Luana Italy satchel, but I've been living in it all Spring - with plans to do the same all summer. It's just such a perfect size for day-to-night and it's stunning! 

I saved my favorite part of this look for last. My ultimate obsession is not shoes or bags...it's watches. So, you can image my excitement when I received this beautiful marble and rose gold timepiece from Christian Paul Watches. The brand is out of Australia and the entire line is to die for. The chic combos and styles are perfect for everyday wear, and stylish enough to dress up all fancy. Another added to the collection makes me a happy gal :)  

What do you guys think about this look? Does it make you blush? I'd look to hear your thoughts...leave a comment below...xoxo

POSHEstyle: NYFW - Shades of Love

Valentine's Day is suppose to be all warm and fuzzy, right? Well, in NYC this past one was cold and icy! Nonetheless, it is all about what's on the outside, and the record low chilly temperatures didn't stop the heat from turning up for many ;) I spent my day doing something that I LOVE...getting lost in next season's collections and falling madly in love with a few hot thangs. 

This red and plum combo had me feeling all kinds of "lovie-dovie" - too bad I didn't exactly have a special someone to be all mushy with -  but I did get some gorgeous roses from an admirer, and they were a warm surprise after a frigid day. I'm a big romantic, and though it may sound cliche, I love the idea of so much love floating in the air :)

A long maxi skirt with an oversized sweater is one of the chicest combos a woman can wear. It's feminine and effortless, and can work casually with flats or sneakers, or dressed up with heels. Pleats have been a big trend for fall/winter, and so has this maroon/burgundy color, so it's double touch point with this beauty from Anthropologie. 

A red/burgundy oversized Missoni sweater broke the monotone color when layered with this faux leather moto jacket from Hou5e Boutique. If you don't own a moto jacket as yet, it's a must for every closet - trust it opens a world of style possibilities. You can wear anything, add a moto jacket and it's instantly cool. 

I love when shoes are a work of art and these Monika Chiang mohawk pumps are no disappointment. The color, gold accents and unique feature make it quite a standout. Other final details to my NYFW "Shades of Love" look included a Mansur Gavriel coin purse that doubles as a clutch - now that's something that makes my heart smile :)

POSHEstyle: All Grey & Repousse "Bamboo" Necklace

All over grey has been trending for some time now - it's such a cool, calm alternative to the ever chic, but strong, all-black, and a great neutral for plays on pops of color. There is a certain essence of elegance, and reserved confidence when wearing this muted color that I find quite enduring. 

If it isn't obvious by now, I revel in the challenge of mixing high-low fashion and making affordable pieces "high-style" worthy. I paired this fitted H&M pencil skirt with a sleek Zara turtleneck for a very sophisticated and feminine silhouette. 

I get a shopping high when I find a really great bargain and that's what happened with this H&M coat on sale for 29.99!!! No really...talk about a score!

Ok, so this is where the "high" comes in - invest in quality accessories that you'll wear over and over for years to come. Classic, timeless pieces you can even pass down to your kids and grandkids -  like this beautifully crafted necklace from the Repousse Jewelry "Bamboo Collection." The fine sterling silver piece has a modern spin in its design that makes it a perfect gift for any woman. 

Pairing the grey with some black created some "cool girl" contrast. High-rise calf booties are also a trend this season and so is suede...this BCBG pair covers both and will last winters to come. My classic Chanel flap bag added another element of "high-style" timelessness. 

Final touches included my Chanel J12 watch and Ferragamo aviators - making a high-low outfit fit for the finest...don't you think?

POSHEstyle: BeYoutiful T-shirt & OTK Boots

What's the most beautiful thing a person can be? Themselves - and I found the perfect tee that expresses just that. 

Nothing says beautiful like confidence and self-love, accepting yourself as you are and living your life with a positive, healthy attitude. That's exactly what BeYoutiful Designs and its products stand for, and I'm all for it. This long sleeve tee is great for layering in the fall/winter months and light enough to take you straight into the spring time.  

I don't know about you but personally, I can not have enough leather - I find a way to rock it year round - season after season. This cropped moto jacket by Bebe is great for the lighter days of fall, and those "I cant believe it's winter days" when the weather is just too good to be true - so happy to be getting some of those in NYC so far.....

A big trend this season has been the blanket scarf. I've been a fan of this look for awhile now, and bought this checkered red and black at H&M last winter. They are so versatile worn as a chunky, cozy wrap scarf, a belted poncho, or just draped as a shawl. I paired the python pants with the scarf to created a chic contrast by keeping the colors in the same spectrum and  playing against the print sizes. 

And what about OTK boots dominating the streets this season - from the suede rockstar Stuart Weitzman (still on my wishlist...hint..hint) to leather options like this Guess pair I found at Burlington at 50% off...talk about a score!

With such a strong color combo and outfit in general, I kept the accessories minimal - wearing only my everyday classic, timeless pieces - Chanel J12 watch, Cartier Love bracelet, Ferragamo aviators, Gucci Soho Disco bag, and my stacked diamond rings. 

 Not your typical delicate and whimsical definition of beauty...this outfit is strong and edgy with a fierce attitude....but no less BeYOUtiful.

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 :)

Bonus.....get them at 20% OFF until December 31, 2015 with code POSHE20 or at 33% OFF and &49.99 select styles today!
