POSHEstyle: {LBD} + Life Lessons of 2017

“One Is Never Over-Dressed or Underdressed with A Little Black Dress - Karl Lagerfeld”

Another year has come to a close. My 2017 was filled with extremes - from major challenges I had to overcome - to amazing gifts from the universe I didn't see coming. What a year and what lessons to take forward into 2018.

Protect your Peace - nurture your life, relationships, surroundings in a way that they bring you calmness and make you more centered. Avoid chaotic situations and volatile energies.
Pick your Battles - not everything is worth a fight, sometimes you just have to let things go. Select what is worth investing and directing your energy towards.
Stepping Back isn't Giving Up - life gets overwhelming - period - especially when you have big dreams and grand envisions. You will feel like you're failing, but it's essential to detach yourself from the hustle, regroup, re-strategize and make your comeback.
Take Time for You - Work on your inner being, clear negative thoughts, self-doubts, fears, insecurities. Make time for things that bring you joy and nurture growth.
Compete with Yourself - do not compare your life to someone else's and judge yourself based on their highlights. Focus on your self-improvement and evolution. “Comparison is the death of joy.” – Mark Twain
You are Enough - do not let anyone make you feel inadequate - ever! This does not mean you are perfect and flawless - it means you are special how you are, deserve to be treated with love and respect, and do not require someone else's validation.
Trust the Universe - we can't foresee what will happen next, but the energy and manifestation you project will bounce back. Once you really let it, the universe will give you what you want.
Collect more Memories and less Things - we all need (and want) things - but don't overcrowd your world with tangibles, because material satisfaction is fleeting. Life experiences create a story, a memory that can be relived over and over.
Kindness doesn't mean Weakness - a giving heart, gets bigger returns. We live in a world that makes it easy to be cold and self-absorbed. Being caring and considerate builds true character.
Create your Life - You have the power to steer your life, don't give away that control. Life does not owe you anything. Take charge of its direction and make it what you want.

POSHESTYLE: Denim on Denim + Fall Feelings

Fall is quite honestly my favorite season - not only because it gives me the challenge of creatively layering and styling - but more so because it ignites a fire within me to close the year having made progress, and to prepare for an even better year ahead. I know....talking about the new year already....what??....well September has always felt like the real start of everything new for me...so HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It is also the time that I reflect most on the year I have had, and what I need to work on - personally, professionally, physically and mentally. I tend to draw back socially and take time to myself to go through a self and life analysis. This year in particular has been filled with extremities. Personally - I finally let go of someone I loved dearly and held on to in my heart for years, but oddly it's been one of the most exhilarating things to feel at peace with your past. Professionally - I've successfully contributed to building the business of a very reputable brand, whilst I've struggled with the growth of my own...including this one...but I love what I do and I'm one determined woman so it will happen! Physically - I was awaken to the reality that my metabolism isn't invincible and it's time to get disciplined and serious about my health, which also excites me because who doesn't love all the cute gear - everywhere! Mentally - there have been some real headaches, but I've realized that what's most important is focusing on the positives, living in the now, and being unapologetically true to you no matter what life throws your way.

Ok...I've been all up in my feelings - so lets talk some fashion now. Denim on denim is more a classic look than a trend, but the combo is hot on the radar right now - especially with how "warm" the weather has been. Denim is the perfect transitional fabric...it's great for laying on a cool day. This oversized jacket is perfect because it can be worn with a t-shirt when the temperature turns up, or with heavier knits when it gets colder. The python print adds a very chic touch to these Rock & Republic jeans, so I knew instantly they were a must have - add a simple white tank it's a perfect complement.

As for the added touches of paired accessories - python Louboutins and minimal classic jewelry like this Hermes Heure H watch - took this look from streets to suites. The backpack is the ultimate chic carry along, and this Mansur Gavriel makes a very clean and clear statement. A pair of RayBan aviators pulls this ultra cool - effortlessly glam look together.

What do you guys think about this look? Are you feeling the denim on denim? Can anyone relate to my "fall feelings?" - Would love to hear your thoughts and don't worry I can take it ;)

POSHEstyle: Ripped Jeans + Metallics

Every time my mom sees me wearing these jeans she asks "why do you look like you were attacked by a wild animal" or "like you are homeless and can't afford a good pair of jeans" - she kinda has a valid point..LOL! But, I love a good cool, distressed, rebellious look every now and again.

I swear by how comfy these Zara boyfriend jeans are - they are my go-to #airportstyle when traveling and are so airy and cool for the summer. I wear them with kicks, heels, sandals - dressed up and dressed down.

This top is from one of my all time favorite designers - Daniel Silverstain - his style is so NYC - cool, chic and collected! The leather is light and the mesh details breathable, making it wearable in warmer times, but a perfect laying piece for cooler temperatures. The bag is from Katie Lares - she uses unconventional household hardware as accessories - like the handle on this petite beauty. The ring is from the Solomeina collection and makes a statement all on its own - no other jewelry necessary! All these amazing designs are available at Flying Solo NYC - a collective in Soho (434 West Broadway) owned and operated by the designers - that's pretty amazing!

I literally live in these Kensie shoes, and I am seriously on the hunt to find the exact pair - because I regret not buying a backup. They are neutral, stylish, comfortable - every standard passed for shoe perfection. If you see them anywhere - GRAB THEM!!!!!

I couldn't finish this post without talking about this mural wall I found in Soho - a little boy on a small bicycle challenging the older, aggressive, mean-looking competition on their motorcycles - making his own luck! It wasn't until after seeing the images, that I realized how dynamic and inspirational the message was - and how coincidentally perfect the wall was for this look - rough, rugged jeans and an armor inspired stop - the law of attraction! In life, you can't sit back and be fearful - waiting for things to go your way - you have to be ready for the challenges, ready to fight for what you want, ready to prove your magic - ready to "Let It Rip!!"

POSHEstyle: Pretty in Pink - DateNight Yes or No?

Ok guys, so I have a lot of catching up to do - I have been so MIA this year with my blog posts because life has just been craaazy!!! But, I'm back with a vengeance of backed up posts and some killer new content to make it up to you ;)

So, my colleague wore a flowy, shift dress to work yesterday. She looked so elegant and feminine, I asked if she "had a date later." She replied by saying "in this, no - I would be in a more fitted dress." This spiked the conversation as to what to wear on a date. I generally go for a fit and flare style, or highlight my legs or my shoulders - I feel flirty and feminine. Her "go-to" look is a form-fitted dress or a pencil skirt and top - she feels sexy, yet sophisticated. So the question is, which is more appealing for the man? Hmmm....

A week ago, I met up with my ex-boyfriend for a friendly dinner after work. I wore this pretty pink floral dress from H&M. They say you should always be on "10" when an ex sees you, but I was feeling so casual and relaxed, I didn't put much thought into it. It wasn't until 5 mins before meeting up with him I thought, "I probably shouldn't have worn this frumpy, practically fully covered, no shape defining dress." However, to my surprise, he gave me more compliments on my outfit that evening than he ever had. Needless to say, my "grandma-esque" dress was a hit!

That just goes to show, that as women, we shouldn't put such stress on what we think a man will or will not like - just be ourselves, be confident and if he is worth it, he'll appreciate it! There is no hard rule on what to wear for a date-night, but make sure you present "you" in a way that makes you feel at your optimal from the inside-out - whether it be "the girl next door", "the sexy vixen", "the fairy princess", "the tomboy" - own it and rock it!!

To pull this sweet summer look together, I paired Vanessa Wu color-block heels with this dress. They are so comfy and versatile for day to night plans, and also comes in a striking maroon and black combo. For daytime, I suggest carrying a nice lady bag and for evening a pretty clutch like this one from Kalamarie Handbags. They are both available at our designer collective - Flying Solo - located at 434 West Broadway in Soho. Yes we moved...to a gorgeous new space...previously occupied by Roberto Cavalli - how fab!!!

What is your "go-to" look for a date night? Comment below and tell us what you have experienced makes the best impression for you. I would love to share some of your "date tales" with my followers on instastories. That should be fun :)

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)
