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: We Are All Cool Kids - 1950s Style!

There's a retro evolution this season that has made vintage-inspired styles mainstream contemporary. From the 1950s sophisticated glam to the 1970s free-spirited expressions, old is the ultimate new! 

I've always been fascinated by old hollywood's classic movies and tales of glitz, glamour and high-fashion. The days when women and men always put their best foot forward; making sure they made a good impression and commanded any room they entered. It's this underling attitude that I encourage my clients to adapt - having pride in their personal presentation and communication to the world. Times and styles may have changed, but the essence of being the best version of yourself should always remain! 

I saw this retro-inspired, scooped neck t-shirt by Le Motto on Instagram a few weeks ago. I immediately decided to scoop one up for myself and was so excited to receive it. I love and support the movement it stands for, "Because Your Words Have Power. Wear and Share Good Words." I bought the "We Are All Cool Kids" shirt because it's along the same inclusive philosophy I govern my life and work by, but there are definitely a few more on my "POSHE List" to get.  

With a 1950s inspiration, I paired the scooped neck t-shirt with a full midi skirt by H&M, keeping the look monochromatic in black and white with accents of gold. The skirt is fun, feminine and gives the casual t-shirt a sophisticated, retro punch. 

This gorgeous purse is very special to me, as it belonged to my aunt who passed last year. That's what I adore about vintage pieces, there's a history, a life, a piece of soul connected to each piece. I think she would approve of how I'm wearing it and that's a pleasant thought to have. 

I kept the other accessories very minimal as well; my Bulova watch, a gold ring, vintage belt and Versace sunglasses. The look was finished off with a pair of classic Christian Louboutin pumps for an effortless feel. 

I styled the white t-shirt with all black not just because it's chic, but because I wanted the main focus for this outfit to be its message. I strongly believe words are powerful and we should all make more effort to express them in a positive and uplifting way to ourselves and to others.

POSHEstyle: I'm 99.9% Sure I'm A Disney Princess

How many of us grew up on the fantasies of being a Disney princess? From the fashion, to the handsome prince/shining savior, to the happy ending - these dreams stay with us from that very moment, no matter the realities of life.  But frankly, I say - keep dreaming, keep wishing and keep believing - because though it may not be a disney replay, we can all have our own magical stories. 

This post itself has a cute and warm storyline. A few months ago, I posted a picture of a mug on Instagram with this exact phrase, and captioned it "So Are You!!" - because I believe we genuinely all are. There is beauty and magic to be found in all of us and that's why the underlining manifesto of my brand and blog is "One Love. One Heart. Different Style". My best-friend, upon a trip to London, saw this Disney t-shirt, with the same phrase, and remembered my post. It was such a sweet surprise and a gift I truly cherish - she's awesome!   

Some may think this message overbearing or conceited, but on the contrary I find it empowering and liberating. Why shouldn't we regard ourselves just as special as these characters we've been taught to idolize? You're a princess and don't let anyone tell you or treat you differently ;) 

When I first thought of putting this look together, my immediate style reference was to do sweet and pretty - a cute tulle skirt, a sleek pencil skirt or a flowing maxi - but then I thought, why go with the ideological notion of a princess. So instead, I went a little more modern and a little more rock and roll. 

These American Eagle ripped jeans are not only cool and edgy, but they are also on-trend this season. I've even done a few DIY projects on a couple old pairs, so you too can easily grab some scissors and shop your own closet to get this look. I tied a contrasting wash denim shirt by Mossimo around my waist for a bit more casual depth and interest

Pairing edgy and classic accessories together resulted in a cool balance - a timeless Chanel J12 watch and Tiffany & Co bracelet, layered with an edgy braided bracelet; a couple metal midi rings, with a Cartier and diamond rings; and a Chanel Classic handbag and Louboutin Pigalle pumps added just the right amount of glam to keep the tone princess worthy.

POSHEstyle: Little White Eyelets Dress

The warm sunny days are finally here and all I have to say is bring on the LIttle White Dresses!  

Every woman knows the rule of thumb of the "Little Black Dress" - it is the powerhouse of dresses and closet staple with its timeless, classic and versatile characteristics - no closet should be without this piece. But, the "Little White Dress" is a force of style not to be overlooked. It is the quintessential summer perfection with its light, feminine and effortless chicness. 

Not to forget mentioning, it looks great on every complexion and with so much variety of styles and fits, every figure can find a dress that flatters. I am particularly partial to the flared A-line cut. It is sweet and feminine, works for every body type, and a great option for women who want to camouflage their stomach and thighs - areas I have found with many of my clients to cause major frustration. 

This white cotton eyelet dress that I found at a steal shopping at Marshall's, screams summertime fun - it's the perfect complement to the season and a must try, so get to shopping and find your eyelet closet addition.

For the overall look, I went for a low-key, minimalistic, boho-chic vibe - pairing earth tone elements with the dress. Last year, I was invited to participate in a focus group as an industry influencer and fashion consultant for a Brazilian brand called Schutz, entering the US market and newly launched in NYC. I was given a gift certificate to go to their Madison Avenue flagship store to evaluate the shopping experience and products. Needless to say, I was very excited walking out of the store with not just one, but two beautiful pairs of shoes, including this woven gem of a boot. 

I'm not a big fan of the fanny pack, but I found this super adorable belt bag by Michael Kors a couple years ago and it has finally made its debut. I love how sleek and compact it is. The python texture, woven belt and gold details makes it a true stand-out piece. With the boots and the bag being such unique, eye-catching statements, I kept other accents very minimal, wearing a gold Bulova watch, a gold ring and a beige-framed Ray-Ban wayfarer - keeping the look cool, calm and collected ;)

POSHEstyle: The Bohemian Blouse

There is something extra special about the month of May - yes, I may be biased - pun intended :) But, apart from it being my birthday month, Spring officially comes into full bloom and there is such beauty to behold. 

The excitement for summer's new adventures, new destinations, new loves. fill the air. The  streets are lined with flower shops and sidewalk dining at every corner. The kids come out to play with warm smiles and cheerful chatter. The busy streets of NYC seemingly slow down enough for us to stop and smell the roses - which for it - is a lot! 

And of course, the light, airy pieces we've anxiously waited to wear all winter, finally has its time of year. This season, the hippie-inspired style is mainstream fashion, and this bohemian, peasant, beauty of a top by Daniel Rainn is by all means on-trend. What I love most about this flowy blouse is how light and feminine it is. The print is soft and subtle, with hints of Spring hues; blue, green and orange. The pleats at the neckline adds an interesting dimension and the tassel detail is an extra touch of boho-chic. 

To keep the printed top as the focal piece, I wore a pair of Bullhead indigo skinny jeans. These jeans are super light-weight and has a little stretch, which makes them easy to wear and very comfortable for the girl on-the-go. 

I told you belles, these gladiator sandals by Fergie would be a repeat offender - they are just such a great neutral that works with everything and I can walk in them for hours - kind of shoe heaven for a heels lover! 

In keeping true to the hippie-style, I accessorized by layering bracelets and jewelry. I never go without a timepiece, so starting with my Bulova watch, I wrapped a charmed bracelet by Sara Designs, creating multiple layers around the watch. I wore another wrap belted bracelet on the other hand, and closed it using a cool take on the tied belt look. For the final touches, I added a few midi-rings, my Valentino cat-eye sunglasses, and this gorgeous orange oversized clutch with a vintage brooch. 

I don't know about you, but this change of season and the arrival of May has me on cloud nine. I can't wait for what this summer has in store and I am super excited for the 25th to arrive - it happens to be Memorial Day but more importantly - it's my birthday!!!!! Let the celebrations begin.....
