POSHEstyle: Mod Inspired + Thigh High Boots

How do you wear thigh high boots running from show to show during NYFW?? First step - make sure they are comfy! 

After closing down and taking a break, Monika Chiang is back with a focus on shoes. These boots were a score from her previous collection and I am obsessed with them. The lace-up design at the back keeps them snug on my slender legs, and the height is perfect with a little dress or equally chic with a pair of jeans. Thigh high boots are a "must-have" for fall with suede styles taking the lead roll, but leather is never far behind. 

This season is all about retro references, and the moment I saw this Zara dress I thought 60s mod. The shift cut, geometric print and peter pan collar were no brainers for this look. 

I added a pop of the season's "it color" burgundy with a H&M fedora and Sephora lip color in rouge. I rarely wear a dark lip but when I do, I gotta admit, I feel a little like a kick-ass vixen. POW! 

The final touches: a Versace marble sunnies, Chanel J12 watch and Chanel Classic handbag pulled the mod look together, making me a happy wannabe Twiggy for the day :)

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day2 - Zara Jumpsuit + Vintage Moschino

How's this for a late New York Fashion Week post? I've been busy working on a project that I'm launching soon. Super excited and scared at the same time because I hope you dolls will love it. Anyways, I think this post was worth the wait :) 

Royal blue is one of those colors that looks great on EVERY skin tone. Its deep vivid tone is eye-catching and flattering. If you haven't already, include this color in your wardrobe and let the compliments roll. 

This wide leg jumpsuit was a great find at Zara. It was the last in the store, on sale and a size small..can I just say, lucky me :)  I love how light and easy it is. Plus, it sometimes looks like a maxi dress as well - score!

I went with a monochromatic all-over blue look by layering with this vintage navy Moschino blazer I found on ebay. Yes, that's a shopping secret of mine, I've found some amazing vintage pieces online from consignment sites, luxury resellers and ebay. The bicycle accents won me over instantly. They're so quirky and chic. 

The final details were a lace-up sandals also bought on sale at Zara, a vintage Chanel bag, mirrored aviators from American Eagle, Bulova watch and few midi rings.

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: The Originals - Converse All Stars + Adidas

I never thought I would see the days that I wear sneakers and flats on a regular basis - but boy are my feet happy! The "Sports Luxe" trend has made athletic wear chic and stylish - perfect for summer's everyday look. 

With my new found love of being closer to the ground, I invest in pieces that can transition after a trend is long passed. As a magazine Fashion Editor, I work hard to keep up with the current edge of fashion, but I never get consumed with being trendy. True style is about self expression, not wearing what's popular - so make a trend relevant and fitting to you!

Converse "All Stars" are like the cool kids in school we all want to be friends with, or the sorority we want to be a part of. If you don't own a pair, it's a great investment that adds a laid back, effortless look to your wardrobe. 

Adidas is a classic with a long heritage and strong positioning. It has stand the test of time to remain a core brand in almost ever wardrobe. This t-shirt is a contemporary spin on the original, with a very fashion forward python pattern and mixed animal print design. Tres Chic! 

I complemented the sporty look with some edgy accessories of mixed metallic midi rings from H&M, my Cartier ring,  a gun mental bracelet and my Chanel J12 watch. The perfect Mansur Gavriel bucket bag finished the outfit.

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 ;)
