POSHEstyle: The BCBG Maxi Dress

There are so many reasons to love a maxi dress....let's count the ways....

A long flowing dress is the ultimate statement of feminine sophistication. Its soft, elegant silhouette brings an aura of easy, breezy, beautiful. This BCBG maxi was a treat for the final day of NYFW, and the last days of summer. The pastel colors are fresh and striking, and the flowing hemline was like walking on cloud 9 instead of the bricks and concretes of NYC. 

It's the perfect summer attire and though not popularly worn, a great transitional piece for fall. The trick is to treat a maxi dress as a skirt; layer with a blazer, a leather jacket, a comfy knit sweater. I wore it with this linen boyfriend blazer by Comptoir des Cotonneirs. It added an element of effortless chicness, and was airy enough for a cool summer day. 

The racerback cut at the back of the dress is sporty and flirty. I personally find a detailed back very alluring and one of the sexiest cuts a woman can wear.

 Another great thing about a maxi dress - it elongates the body - so if you want to look a couple inches taller, add a pair of heels and let your inner model shine. These gold gladiator sandals by Guess surely did the trick for me!

I kept the accessories gold, wearing a vintage Chanel bag, Bulova watch, and a clinched belt to define the waistline.  The metallic accents picked up the shimmer in the blazer, and was a neutral complement against such a colorful dress. 

I couldn't have closed NYFW any better way than wearing this beautiful, elegant dress - I got so many compliments, and sweet gestures as I ran between shows on the streets on NYC. I felt like a real life princess - a maxi will do that to you...try it!

POSHEstyle: Boyfriend Jeans + Kimono

Spring is here...Finally! Yes, at 60 degrees I am in celebratory mode and ready to pull out the tank tops and show some bare skin. 

I think I can safely say for many - this winter has been a mental struggle and a true test of our threshold for the cold and living in NYC. But, it seems the bi-polar weather is behind us - fingers crossed - and it's time to fall back in love with the city that has captured our hearts.

Spring is a time to get out and smell the roses - venture outside the proximity of our NYC square footages and come alive again. It's time to lose all the layers and gravitate towards feeling light and airy. And, what better way to do this than with the classic blue jeans and white shirt combo? It's just so fresh, so clean! 

Denim is on the hot list for Spring, but not your typical skinny jeans. It's all about having a variety this season, and the Boyfriend jeans is a must for your closet - it's chic, comfortable and scores major cool points on the style radar. I scored this pair from Forever21 two years ago - back then it was a little looser - which I prefer - but it still fits nicely, so not too much complaints here. The ripped details are also hugely trending this Spring, so if you have an old pair and don't want to spurge on this look, grab those scissors and start snipping away. I paired it with a simple white tank from American Apparel, white python Christian Louboutin pigalle, my Coach tote and Ray-Ban wayfarer. 

What's also back for the season - KIMONOS. From boho-fringe to asian inspired, these pieces add an extra oomph for a casually chic look. I love this piece from Ecote I bought last year at Urban Outfitters. It's super trendy now, but its subtle print and classic color gives it staying power even after the trend has passed. It can also be belted and worn as a dress - talk about multi-purpose and budget-friendly! 

I kept the entire outfit in a monochromatic blue and white color tone, giving it a very easy, breezy, beautiful feel. Can someone say - Covergirl? (click images to expand)

POSHEstyle: The Boyfriend Shirt

No closet should be without the versatility of a button down shirt and the “boyfriend shirt’ is merely an oversized version of this classic piece worn by a woman with confidence and grace. There is an undeniable sexiness about a woman rocking a menswear inspired look that I personally find captivating and empowering.

I found this steal of a boyfriend shirt a few weeks ago at JoeFresh while on a makeover excursion with one of my clients (see post “Make Me Over”). Even though it already had a boyfriend fit, I bought it a size up from my usual as I often do with oversized clothing as I prefer the looser look. 

On what was a beautiful fall day, I wore it with a pencil leather skirt from my clothing line Laposhe (contact here to pre-order) to keep the tone of the overall look strong but still sophisticated and elegant. A pair of white Christian Louboutin python pigalle polished the look and my Ray-Ban wayfarer sunnies kept the cool factor present. I added a little glitz and glam in the mix with a bejeweled necklace from our shop (coming soon) and kept the other accessories minimalistic; wearing only my Chanel J12 watch, diamond stud earrings and a few midi rings. 

I loved the simplicity and ease of this look. It’s an interesting paradox when a look considered masculine can make a woman feel so feminine.
