POSHEstyle: The James "Twiggy" Jeans

When it comes to jeans, we're all looking for that perfect fit, and these come pretty close...

During Fashion Week in September, I was invited to a blogger event by a brand - James Jeans - out of L.A. I had never heard of them, but after a little background check realized it was a 10-year brand, sold in some of the most premium stores in the US, and a not-to-miss event. 

The result of that dedication - a goodie bag that included the "Twiggy" skinny jeans. I'm crazy about these jeans and now a big fan of the brand. The fit is great, fabric is comfortable, and the high-waisted look is super chic. I feel so at ease and light in them- a rarity - and the special dart design feature on the back pockets really does help to shape those ass-ets ;)  

I bought this "We are all cool kids" t-shirt a few months ago and if you know me, you know I love any and everything inspirational and uplifting. Le Motto does just that with its positive messages t-shirt line.  Being born in Jamaica, I grew up with the principle of "One Love" for all humanity. I am extremely anti-bully and live by the notion of an inclusive society, where no one should feel like an outcast. It breaks my heart to see the state our world and its people are in, and this t-shirt is just a little reminder we are ALL special. 

I layered the outfit with a metallic tweed bomber jacket by Petticoat Alley, and finished the look with a pair of wine red BCBG pumps, my everyday accessories - Bulova watch, Cartier Love ring, midi rings - and another obsession of mine, the Gucci Soho bag. 

This is an outfit that is not only chic but equally comfortable...so much so, I think I may wear it again today :)

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.....

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 Day4 - Grey Maxi Coat

I have an absolute fascination with anything "maxi" - dress, skirt, pants - and ultimately, coats! 

This day was one of the most frigid for fashion week, and with my schedule running from Vivienne Hu at 10am to FTL MODA at 7pm, I had to prepare for what was going to be a very long and cold day. It was also the premiere weekend for the movie, "50 Shades of Grey", so with all things considered I decided to go with a long maxi coat I had designed, which coincidentally, has different shades of grey.

Grey was a major color for Fall/Winter 2014, but what was distinct about this fabric to me is the plaid print, which was also a hit trend for the season. I love how the one piece merged different "on-trend" elements together - shades of grey, plaid and a pop of green - in such a subtle and chic way. 

I wanted to keep the coat the focal point and therefore styled it with monochromatic shades by pairing it with grey skinny jeans from Rag & Bone and a grey Equipment turtleneck sweater, layered with my black vintage coat for added warmth. Monika Chiang thigh high boots and a Chanel Le Boy bag elevated the look with a classic edge, and a vintage lion brooch and my American Eagle mirrored sunnies added minimal accents to the overall look.

This was one of my personal favorite looks of all the outfits I wore for NYFW because I like working trends into my wardrobe in a way that is uniquely my style, and tailored in such a way that it can remain current even after the trend has passed. 

What do you guys think about this look? I'd love to hear your feedback on the coat I designed and send me an email if you are interested in owning one of your own.

POSHE Travels: White Shirt + Blue Jeans

Eat. Pray. Love

Montego Bay, Jamaica

One of the most infamous combination, the classic white shirt and blues jeans is an iconic style. It's the most stylish yet basic go-to look that has the versatility to be dressed down or dressed up. The exact elements can go from one extreme of casual to the next of high-fashion on the style spectrum. Tell me I have 15 minutes to get dressed and I don't think twice about what works. 

After a day of lounging and relaxing at Iberostar Resorts in Jamaica, my appetite was at an all time high. This look was a quick fix for a mellow night of dinner and dancing at the hotel's private club afterwards. 

The white boyfriend shirt from Joe Fresh was cool and casual. A pair of navy blue skinny jeans from Forever21 balanced out and worked great with the oversized shirt. Red Christian Louboutin 'So Kate" pumps elevated the look to dressy and added some sex appeal. An edgy fringe purse from Monika Chiang complemented the overall look. I accessorized with my gold Bulova watch, diamond studs and a cute pearl ring from the Union Square holiday market. (click images to expand)
