POSHEstyle: Denim Overall + Polo Shirt

There is no doubt about it! Denim overalls have made a full transition from frumpy farm wear to mainstream, fashion-forward chicness. 

This trend from the 1980's has been revamped for 2015 with cuts that are more modern, fitted and stylish. Now, there is an effortless, cool girl factor about rocking overalls. It's a versatile piece that looks great dressed down with flats and a casual t-shirt, or styled more glam with heels and a flowy top. You definitely can't go wrong with stripe tees or crisp white blouses with an overall.

I wanted to try something different from what I've seen in the magazines, on the blogs or in the streets. I went for a casual meets glam look by pairing a Rue21 overall with an Aeropostale polo shirt and Christian Louboutin So Kate heels, keeping a red-on-red color pop against the denim. 

The overall was the focal point of the outfit, so I kept the accessories subtle by wearing silver and gunmetal jewelry, including my Chanel J12 watch, Tiffany & Co bracelet, Cartier ring and a few H&M rings. My Ferragamo aviator is quite possibly my best purchase for the season, and this Monika Chiang chain bag is just such a work of art and "on-trend" with its fringe details. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this look or how you're rocking your overall this Spring. Leave a comment below and subscribe to the blog for more. (Click images to expand)

POSHEstyle: Lace Dress + Belted Scarf

The snow may finally be behind us, but this was the first day of Spring - and what a white one it was! 

Nonetheless, it was a lovely day. Central Park's beauty transcends seasons. Whether with its lush greens and blooming gardens or as a Winter wonderland, it's always a scenic and serene escape from the concrete buildings and busy streets.  

Crochet is a huge trend for Spring and so are white dresses. I've had this H&M number for a little while but like I always say - invest in piece that can stand the test of time (classics first) and then add the trends here and there (trends after).  

The micro length of the dress made it the perfect candidate for my thigh high boots by Monika Chiang. Wearing a mini shift dress with thigh high boots leaves only a hint of skin exposed, making it more fashion-forward and sophisticated. 

The belted scarf has also been a popular look, and I've been doing it for a while but hadn't document. This Oudifu scarf is so warm and chic with the elephant prints. I love that it is reversible between predominantly burgundy or predominantly white. I wore it on the white side for a more all-white subtle look, with the elephant print complementing my burgundy David and Young fedora. 

Even with all the snow, it wasn't a super cold day, so I layered with a light coat from Forever21. What I love most about this coat is its feminine style. It also looks great worn as a dress - I'll do a post on that look as well soon. 

The final details to this look were my Chanel J12 watch, Tiffany & Co bracelet and Ray-Ban aviators.

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day6 - Plaid Culotte Jumpsuit

It was my final day at MBFW and honestly I could not have been happier. Fashion Week is my favorite time of the year. I plan months in advance for the season. It's exciting and fun, but it's also exhausting and at this point I was wiped. 

I saved, what's the hottest trend this Spring and sure to follow through to Fall - as seen on the runways - for my closing piece. This plaid culotte jumpsuit - an original design from my LAPOSHE brand. 

Next to the LAPOSHE maxi coat I wore on day 4, this was my favorite look for the week. I love a classic black and white combination and this plaid print added dimension and interest. The vertical lines elongate the frame and the boned bodice gives support. 

I layered the jumpsuit over a crisp white ASOS button-down shirt, giving it a super chic and tailored element. The coverage also made it more sophisticated and professional. This culotte look can easily transition into corporate style for the office. A silk Chanel coat and black stockings added more layers for warmth and comfort. A vintage leather belt, which defined the waistline, and my Christian Louboutin white python pumps were the perfect pairing. My Chanel Le Boy Bag, Bulova watch and vintage brooch, had subtle accents of gold that popped against the black and white. I am so happy with how this look turned out, I would wear it over and over again! (click to expand)

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day5 - Rose Gold + Nike Sneakers

I've lived the majority of my adult life at least 4 inches above ground but 2014 gave me a new perspective on ground level when I transitioned sneakers from workout gear to casual style. 

"Fashion sneakers" have been a major style trend over the past few seasons and I even featured the look as a fashion editor in my watch-list last Spring, but my obsession with heels prolonged the inclusion into my personal style. However, by day 5 and with a schedule from 10 am to 9pm, my feet were in need of some serious TLC and these Nike sneakers came to the rescue. 

What I love most about these sneakers, is how the neutral tones of gray, black and white, contrast with the pop of pink. They are not only chic and comfortable, but contrary to my position years back, also stylish and fashion-forward. 

Now to the outfit! I've had this rose gold jeans from BCBG for a few months now, but didn't have the right complement nor occasion to wear it. I found this faux leather rose gold cropped top at Forever21 right before my Jamaican vacation, and thought this was it but didn't get the urge to wear the outfit until Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Though the smallest size in the top was still big, I decided to buy it anyways and have it altered. I always advise my clients to do the same when they're having difficulties finding the right fit due to their body structure. 

Not only am I conscious when it comes to baring skin in a cropped topped, but I was also dressing for winter so I layered the rose gold set with a classic white boyfriend shirt from Joe Fresh. I layered that with a camel boyfriend jacket from Forever21 and accessorized the look with my Chanel Le Boy, Bulova watch and American Eagle aviators, keeping the jewelry very minimal given the overall metallics. Initially, I had planned to pair the look with my Christian Louboutin white python pigalle heels but my feet had different ideas and I conceded. I did however switch into them for the final shows that evening, ending in true poshestyle.

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day2 - All Leather Romper + Thigh High Boots

Officially my first day at the Mercedes Benz tents (second for NYFW) and I'm already feeling nostalgic. Over the past few seasons I've covered multiple shows as the Fashion Editor for Triple The Focus magazine, and had the experience I always imagined before moving to NYC. I've heard many talks about the great times at Bryant Park, and with Sex and the City being an all time favorite, I can surely respect that; but Lincoln Center gave me my first fashion week high and for me it will always be home. 

On my second day I was scheduled to see MONGOL and Mark & Estel (reviews of all the shows will be in the next issue of the magazine and I will post each here as well).  Outfit planning this season was a challenge with the brutally cold weather but fashion always prevails no matter what! (click images to expand) 

I decided to do a rocker-chic look this day; ready for Fashion Week domination. I bought these amazing Monika Chiang leather thigh high boots before my month long vacation in the tropics, so I was aching to wear them. As we all know thigh high boots are having a major moment this Fall/Winter season. I paired them with a leather romper from Forever21, a classic ripped knit turtleneck sweater from the New York & Company and an edgy leather moto vest by 6 Shore Road. The look was accessorized with a pair of Ray-Bay wayfarers, an ASOS beanie, Moschino leather belt, Bulova watch and Gucci Soho Disco bag. My vintage SAKS Fifth Avenue fur coat was the final piece for a fashionable but functional, freezing second-first day.
