POSHEstyle: Holiday Gift Guide - KARL WHO? Sweatshirt

It's the season of giving and over the next couple weeks I'll be sharing some of my picks as the perfect gifts this holiday - starting with the chicest, coolest, and most comfortable sweatshirt I own ;) 

Clearly you can tell I have a real obsession with this brand...I've featured it on the blog a couple times, but I truly can't get enough of The Karl Who? sweatshirts from Socialitte! They are my favorite go-to for casually-chic style this season - uber cool with thigh high boots and skinny jeans, or rocked like this, with boyfriend jeans and kicks. The off-the-shoulder trend has been on the radar all year and will continue into the Spring - warm it up for the colder months and wear as a scooped neck layered over a turtleneck...VOILA! (Use code POSHE20 and get 20% off you order)

Another piece I virtually live and sleep in - these ripped denim from H&M - holy moly are they comfy - I'm addicted!!! A quick DIY tip - I tore them open at the knee but didn't want it to be so exposed, so I used a big safety pin that not only closed it, but gave it an extra edge of downtown chic.

I accessorized the look with edgy-glam details - this amazing choker from Katie Lares and exquisite rings by Solomeina were the perfect touches (FYI, wear them stacked or as separates). These unique pieces can be found online or at the newest and coolest boutique in Soho - Flying Solo. This concept store is home to 40 NYC designers, who own and operate the store themselves...that means so salespersons, personal experiences, and meeting the creators. I promise you won't be disappointed with the awesome gifts you'll find here (including my swimwear - LAPOSHE - shameless plug - lol) 

Final details to my "cool-girl" look were my Chanel Boy (because what's cooler than him), Tom Ford aviators and Zara kicks...mission completed!

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: 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!

POSHElist: Lusting for Fall 2015

What's on my wish list this season? Quality not Quantity - that's for sure! Here are a few pieces I am going absolutely gaga for this fall.  

The black has been a love for a little while now and a necessity for any wardrobe (black boots that is), but this wine color Valentino is fall trend perfection and sure to score major style points this fall. 

Long sweaters aren't exactly a crazy trend this fall but they are always chic and so versatile. I love wearing as a dress with thigh high boots, over a maxi skirt for feminine layers, and with stockings and ankle boots. Kenzo makes some of the best sweaters and this one is no different. 

The lace-up look has been trending all summer and continues into fall. Naturally, as it's cooling down, the close toe, ballet flats is the style of choice and I am smitten with these snake prints from Asos. 

Gimme, gimme, gimme more! I love Louboutin and I dream of these "So Kate" being home sweet home. A leopard print pump is a classic that works with everything, so investing in a pair will serve you well. 

Pleats and leather - a match made in heaven for me! I am obsessed with this 1.State colorblock skirt. It's the perfect blend of sophisticated, edgy and chic. Be sure to include pleated skirts in your fall style...you wont regret it!  

 

What do you think about my lust list....are you loving or leaving this fall?

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day6 - Plaid Culotte Jumpsuit

It was my final day at MBFW and honestly I could not have been happier. Fashion Week is my favorite time of the year. I plan months in advance for the season. It's exciting and fun, but it's also exhausting and at this point I was wiped. 

I saved, what's the hottest trend this Spring and sure to follow through to Fall - as seen on the runways - for my closing piece. This plaid culotte jumpsuit - an original design from my LAPOSHE brand. 

Next to the LAPOSHE maxi coat I wore on day 4, this was my favorite look for the week. I love a classic black and white combination and this plaid print added dimension and interest. The vertical lines elongate the frame and the boned bodice gives support. 

I layered the jumpsuit over a crisp white ASOS button-down shirt, giving it a super chic and tailored element. The coverage also made it more sophisticated and professional. This culotte look can easily transition into corporate style for the office. A silk Chanel coat and black stockings added more layers for warmth and comfort. A vintage leather belt, which defined the waistline, and my Christian Louboutin white python pumps were the perfect pairing. My Chanel Le Boy Bag, Bulova watch and vintage brooch, had subtle accents of gold that popped against the black and white. I am so happy with how this look turned out, I would wear it over and over again! (click to expand)
