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 :)

POSHEstyle: NYFW - The Luana Satchel + Faux Fur Stole

We've heard it over and over - accessories can make an outfit. This truly is a golden fashion rule....but what's more important is choosing the right accessories that can bring your look from sweet to superstar - just like that! 

A budget-friendly outfit can look like a million bucks when paired with carefully selected accents. I'm a very conscious shopper when it comes to clothing - the majority of my wardrobe are bought at fast fashion or mid-priced stores - and my designer pieces are generally a steal at sample sales or major discounted finds. But, accessories I will spend a little more on...because they are the most versatile part of a look, and can stand the test of time - or at least long enough to be worth the splurge.

The classic yet modern look of this Luana Italy leather satchel instantly caught my attention. Its elegant style screams old-hollywood glam, and the edgy hardware detail balances the right touch of contemporary. The best part - the price is accessible and won't break the bank. Talk about affordable luxury at its finest! 

A fab fur stole (faux preferably) has been a major trend for fall/winter. I bought this from an independent designer around November, and trust, it was no easy feat waiting out the debut until NYFW. I adore the contrasting sides of stripes and hot pink, the touch is simply divine, and overall, it is just a stunning, eye-catching piece. Here I showed three (3) way I like to wear it - double draped, over-the shoulder, and as a bag accent ;)  

Ok, so let's get back to basics of this look. Simplicity can be so stunning, and this American Apparel black turtle-neck, and Zara high-waisted pencil skirt form the perfect team in achieving sophisticated ease. 

To keep the vintage-glam homage of this look, the final touches included my Christian Louboutin pigalle pumps, classic Chanel oversized sunglasses, and a timeless Hermes watch.

POSHEstyle: Herringbone & Chandrah Beads

It's the first week of 2016 and I'm starting the year off with a "go BIG or go HOME" attitude, and this outfit is the definition of a woman who is strong, confident, determined and ready to "get sh*t done!" 

Winter has officially made its appearance. January is off to a chilly start so layers on top of layers are a must. My cold season strategy is to not bulk up, but rather layer smart. I don't own a down or poofy jacket - I invest in warm fabrications like wool and cashmere. This J. Crew jacket is one such piece. Its structured clean lines are minimal and modern, the long length provides extra coverage, and the deep pockets keep blisters away. 

Herringbone is just one of those patterns that has a classic presence, it may be silent at times or trending at others - a big trend for 2015 - but never out of style. I bought this Zara turtle neck jacket on Black Friday, so it was a score.  I love when I find a piece and get super excited about all its styling possibilities and this jacket certainly gave me the jitters. 

I kept the outfit in a monotone grey on grey - my most worn shade this fall. Layering a turtleneck from Zara under the jacket for added protection around my neck, and pairing denim from Forever21.

One of my "resolution" for 2016 is to do more yoga and mediation. Living in a fast pace city like New York, it's rare that you slow down and balance yourself - it also doesn't help that I'm a gemini whose mind is always going, and who wants to do a million things at once. I received this Chandrah bracelet during the Christmas, and it's the perfect reminder that I need to make more effort to train my mind to be calmer, and more focus, so I can reach my optimal potential.  

I finished the look with my Ferragamo aviators, Chanel J12 watch, Tiffany & Co ID bracelet and these killer thigh high boots by Monika Chiang that screams "I mean business!"

POSHEstyle: Plaid, Fringe & Suede

I started this blog November 2014 but 2015 was the year of its blossoming. It's a wonderful feeling seeing a dream developing with promise of a positive future. This is my last post for the year and looking back I feel so grateful and proud of where POSHESTYLE is today.

 I have always said 5 is my favorite number and 2015 was good to me - I'm more confident in the woman I am and still becoming, had amazing experiences, traveled to new places, formed new relationships, became more humble, appreciated the smaller things even more, and found deeper, truer meaning in the value of life. Life is a journey, not just a destination.....and I'm ready for 2016...so lets ride!

I'm closing the year in a little plaid and a touch of fringe. It just so happens, I'm also in the festive color of the season and another favorite of mine - RED - another little fact about me.  

The shirt has a subtle mixed plaid contrast that's very chic. I paired it with a suede skirt with fringe details that's trendy and fun to wear. The wrap style adds a classic touch to the mix. 

I have a tendency to wear each bag for a moment of time before switching to another, even though I have a fair selection. The bag of the month has been this red bucket style from Mansur Gavriel. I was hesitant to buy the large size but boy has it come in handle - even my laptop fits. 

The final touches to this finale post included one of my favorite jewelry brand - Sara Designs  - the watches are the superstars of the line and another thing to know about me - I am obsessed with watches! This wrap watch is creative, unique and a cool way to rock statement jewelry. Just keep everything else minimal and make that the focal accessory. 

BCBG booties, Rayban wayfarers, a color block fedora and a bight smile filled with gratitude for 2015 and opened arms to 2016 completed this look :))))  

Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR loves!!!!!!!!

POSHEstyle: Nude on Nude

The all-nude look is the definition of understated elegance - the soft palette and bare illusion create the perfect complement of sexy sophistication. 

Bare legs in December in NYC is practically outrageous, but this taupe and black sweater dress happened on a "warm" Winter day. With this unbelievable weather, we're either having an extended Fall or an early Spring but whatever it be - I'm not complaining! 

The bodycon fit is a rarity in my personal style but when I do it's usually tea or pencil length, has upper body coverage or made with thick quality fabric - all features that enhance the elegance of a body hugging cut. This dress accentuates all the curves, in all the right places, without being too revealing. 

Keeping the nude theme, I wore a pair of Christian Louboutin pigalle,  and my newest handbag addition - the  Louis Vuitton Capucines I got this past Summer in Paris. It's my first Louis Vuitton piece and I'm in love. I'm not a hugely fond of monogrammed prints but the clean, solid style of this LV bag had me at "hello"

What do think of my nude behavior? It's crazy to think this is one of my last post for 2015...this past year has been a delight sharing my personal style and fashion experience with you. I'm super excited for what's to come as we take POSHESTYLE into 2016 and feel truly blessed and grateful to have you along for the ride :)
