POSHEstyle: The Pleated Skirt + Karl Who? Sweatshirt

The accordion pleated skirt is back with a vengeance this spring - from maxi to mini - this look is being seen all over the racks and is a must this season.  

This off-white Zara pleated skirt is the perfect way to bring some leather into spring. The color is light and airy; the length is classy and chic; and the "leather meets pleats" is a good balance of timeless and modern. 

Now, who says you can't wear a sweatshirt to work or to drinks...even to dinner?! Well, I would be comfortable (literally) wearing this outfit in any of those settings. The high-fashion style of the Karl Who? sweatshirt makes it an easily transitional piece, and its sports-luxe look is very on trend. I've team up with the creators once again to offer a 20% discount with code POSHE20 at checkout - so head over to the site shopsocialtte.com to get this and other super chic styles ;) 

You can never go wrong with a classic, sleek Prada bag for work, it denotes "boss-lady" and usually means business. It also works equally well as a day bag with jeans and a t-shirt for that chic, effortless style. A timeless choice!

As Marilyn Monroe said - "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world." These Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps definitely make me feel like I have superpowers every time I put them on. A red pair of pumps will do wonders in spicing up your closet, and adding a touch of va-va-voom to any look. 

And, not to forget it's all in the details! I keep my accessories standard for the most part, but have fun with it if that's your style. For this look, I paired a cool pair of RayBan wayfarers, my Hermes watch and a few vintage rings.

POSHEstyle: The Linen Blazer

Born an island girl, linen is one of my favorite fabrics to wear. It's cool, clean, chic, and a great transitional piece from summer to fall. 

I had been coveting this Banana Republic jacket from in the Spring, but it wasn't until late summer, and an awesome sale, that I got my hands on it.  The boyfriend fit is relaxed, and brings a casual element to a typically structured piece. It's easy to wear and great for layering. 

Blue jeans and a white shirt is quite possibly the easiest look anyone can throw together, and that's exactly what I did for this NYFW look. This soft, chiffon top by Liz Claiborne gave the outfit a feminine touch, against the more rugged, distressed Current Elliott denim shorts. 

Layering Sara Designs tribal necklaces added a pop of color and playfulness, especially complemented with this beauty of a shoe from Zara. The lace-up look ruled the pave walks all summer and walked its way right into the hottest trends for fall too. 

Now, to my favorite new item! On my recent European trip (posts still to come) I stopped in Paris for a couple days and made a visit to the LV flagship store. Needless to say, the Louis Vuitton Capucines BB returned to NYC with me. Its compact size and classic style is perfection. The arm handle and the shoulder strap make it versatile, and the nude color goes with everything! 

Living in NYC, I don't wear shorts as much as I did in my island days, but layer a boyfriend blazer and add a pair of strappy sandals - and viola -  short shorts are city chic! (click to expand)

POSHEstyle: The White Tee

Sometimes the simplicity of a white tee is all you need to take an outfit from bland to ultra stylish. It can be paired with everything - jeans, skirts, slacks, shorts - and my ultimate favorite, dresses - for a tres chic ensemble. 

However, keep in mind not all white tees are the same, and different fits work for different silhouettes and styles. Choosing the right tee isn't as simple as it sounds - I'll be sure to do a post on that soon ;) 

With a wardrobe that is mostly filled with blacks, white, neutrals - it's refreshing when I wear a little color. I found this high-waisted skirt at H&M with the prettiest floral print. It's a great length without being too exposed, and the high-waist elongates the legs and clinches at the smallest part of the waist for a very flattering fit. 

Pairing a printed skirt with a crisp white t-shirt keeps the skirt the focal point, and the look effortlessly chic. This American Apparel v-neck fitted tee hugs the figure for a seamless silhouette that is feminine and flirty. A more dressy alternative would be a silk top in white or any color from the skirt's palette. A sweet, soft blush color would be my next choice. 

I hate to face it, but Fall is not too far away and I am already in planning mode. I am very big on shopping smart and investing in pieces that are transitional throughout seasons. Taking this look from summer to fall is easy with a layered blazer. This coral piece from H&M is a sweet addition. 

I recently launched the POSHEshop (be sure to check it out) where I will be bringing capsule collections of things I wear, exclusive designers, original pieces and a host of goodies including this mint LAPOSHE clutch in a variety of colors. I had this one personally monogrammed with my zodiac sign "Gemini" and I absolutely LOVE it! 

 

Blocked heels have been a big trend this season and these nude beauties from Kensie have been a life-saver for me. I have worn then repetitively with their versatility and comfort. 

The final details included; a Bulova watch, American Eagle aviators, stacked mixed metallic rings, and a mint beaded necklace. Accessories are the special touches that brings an outfit to life - whether it be minimalist or art-deco, over-the-top glam - and these mint colors play so well with the floral skirt and on the white shirt for a cohesive and dynamic look.

POSHEstyle: Fit & Flare

You know that silhouette or color you always go for? Well, I'm guilty too! As I showed my friend a shopping haul earlier last week she said to me, "you always go for that style" - that style being the fit and flare, and she was dead on!

I love the feminine, sophisticated feel of this cut. I am truly at my most comfortable wearing it, and that in turn makes me feel confident - and we all know there is nothing sexier than confidence! 

I'm just not a body-con kinda girl - every time I wear one I am pulling and tugging at the hems. The body-hugging silhouette makes me feel over-exposed and uneasy; though I look at other women and think they look amazing. But, it's important to find what works for you, what makes you feel beautiful, confident and at your best. Whenever I work with a client, I try to get to know their personality first, before even making a suggestion of figure-flattering fits, or skin tone color complements. It is when we dress for our personalities and body types, that we express our optimal personal style. 

This jacquard dress was an affordable find from H&M. The fabric is sturdy and good quality, the fit perfect, and the neutral color works year-round. My favorite part was the pockets and with that I was sold!  

I kept the accessories clean and elegant with a pair of Christian Louboutin pigalle pumps, Chanel J12 watch, Chanel classic flap bag and Chanel sunglasses. For a touch of drama, I added a statement necklace with emerald-esque crystals, leather and chain details. 

This is one of my favorite blogged looks to date because it reflects who I am from the inside out, and with that my night ended with this endearing compliment -  "you were sexy tonight without trying" - aim accomplished ;)
