POSHEstyle: {LBD} + Life Lessons of 2017

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

REV_3473.jpg

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. 

  1. 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. 
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 
  4. 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. 
  5. 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
  6. 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. 
  7. 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. 
  8. 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. 
  9. 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. 
  10. 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: 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 :)  

What do you guys think about this look? Does it make you blush? I'd look to hear your thoughts...leave a comment below...xoxo

POSHEstyle: NYFW - Shades of Love

Valentine's Day is suppose to be all warm and fuzzy, right? Well, in NYC this past one was cold and icy! Nonetheless, it is all about what's on the outside, and the record low chilly temperatures didn't stop the heat from turning up for many ;) I spent my day doing something that I LOVE...getting lost in next season's collections and falling madly in love with a few hot thangs. 

This red and plum combo had me feeling all kinds of "lovie-dovie" - too bad I didn't exactly have a special someone to be all mushy with -  but I did get some gorgeous roses from an admirer, and they were a warm surprise after a frigid day. I'm a big romantic, and though it may sound cliche, I love the idea of so much love floating in the air :)

A long maxi skirt with an oversized sweater is one of the chicest combos a woman can wear. It's feminine and effortless, and can work casually with flats or sneakers, or dressed up with heels. Pleats have been a big trend for fall/winter, and so has this maroon/burgundy color, so it's double touch point with this beauty from Anthropologie. 

A red/burgundy oversized Missoni sweater broke the monotone color when layered with this faux leather moto jacket from Hou5e Boutique. If you don't own a moto jacket as yet, it's a must for every closet - trust it opens a world of style possibilities. You can wear anything, add a moto jacket and it's instantly cool. 

I love when shoes are a work of art and these Monika Chiang mohawk pumps are no disappointment. The color, gold accents and unique feature make it quite a standout. Other final details to my NYFW "Shades of Love" look included a Mansur Gavriel coin purse that doubles as a clutch - now that's something that makes my heart smile :)

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: 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 ;)
