POSHEstyle: NYFW - Karl Who? Sweatshirt

What a start to 2016 it has been...I've been a little MIA over the past few weeks with juggling work, moving to a new apartment and NYFW all at once, but I did manage to catch a few great shows and those reviews will be up over the next few days. But first up is "What I Wore!" and this is a good one ;) 

Who isn't obsessed with Karl Lagerfeld? I will never forget my visit to the Chanel headquarters in Paris and seeing him - always cool, calm and collected. This ultra chic take on the Karl pandemonium instantly caught my attention. The Karl Who? collection of luxury sweatshirts, t-shirts and phones cases are the perfect addition of versatile style to any wardrobe. Dress it up, or dress it down, and still look effortlessly stylish either way. 

I saw endless possibilities when I received this royal blue sweatshirt from Shopsocialitte,  and couldn't wait to rock it at fashion week because though it's in actuality a basic, it sure does scream high-fashion - and based on the response to it, I'm not the only person who thought so.  

Now, here comes the good part! I've teamed up with the makers of this cool line to offer my readers and followers a chance to own a piece from the collection. One winner will receive a Karl Who? t-shirt which retails for $128, and trust me, though the brand is new, they can not keep up with stock so get in on this! Follow @poshestyle and @shopsocialitte instagram accounts, like the photo with the giveaway details and tag friends for extra entries. Ends March 1st ;) 

Ok, enough with my Karl Legerfeld obsession - Let's get to the rest of the outfit. I wanted to give the sweatershirt some dimension so I layered with a stripe oversized button up shirt from JoeFresh. It was historically one of the coldest weekends NYC has had, so I wore a long J.Crew coat and leather gloves. Keeping the relaxed boyfriend theme, I paired these distressed jeans from J.Brand and wore calf high suede BCBG booties to add a dressy touch to a casual look. Chanel sunglasses, Chanel j12 watch and Gucci Soho finished off this NYFW look.

POSHEstyle: Herringbone & Chandrah Beads

It's the first week of 2016 and I'm starting the year off with a "go BIG or go HOME" attitude, and this outfit is the definition of a woman who is strong, confident, determined and ready to "get sh*t done!" 

Winter has officially made its appearance. January is off to a chilly start so layers on top of layers are a must. My cold season strategy is to not bulk up, but rather layer smart. I don't own a down or poofy jacket - I invest in warm fabrications like wool and cashmere. This J. Crew jacket is one such piece. Its structured clean lines are minimal and modern, the long length provides extra coverage, and the deep pockets keep blisters away. 

Herringbone is just one of those patterns that has a classic presence, it may be silent at times or trending at others - a big trend for 2015 - but never out of style. I bought this Zara turtle neck jacket on Black Friday, so it was a score.  I love when I find a piece and get super excited about all its styling possibilities and this jacket certainly gave me the jitters. 

I kept the outfit in a monotone grey on grey - my most worn shade this fall. Layering a turtleneck from Zara under the jacket for added protection around my neck, and pairing denim from Forever21.

One of my "resolution" for 2016 is to do more yoga and mediation. Living in a fast pace city like New York, it's rare that you slow down and balance yourself - it also doesn't help that I'm a gemini whose mind is always going, and who wants to do a million things at once. I received this Chandrah bracelet during the Christmas, and it's the perfect reminder that I need to make more effort to train my mind to be calmer, and more focus, so I can reach my optimal potential.  

I finished the look with my Ferragamo aviators, Chanel J12 watch, Tiffany & Co ID bracelet and these killer thigh high boots by Monika Chiang that screams "I mean business!"

POSHEstyle: All Grey & Repousse "Bamboo" Necklace

All over grey has been trending for some time now - it's such a cool, calm alternative to the ever chic, but strong, all-black, and a great neutral for plays on pops of color. There is a certain essence of elegance, and reserved confidence when wearing this muted color that I find quite enduring. 

If it isn't obvious by now, I revel in the challenge of mixing high-low fashion and making affordable pieces "high-style" worthy. I paired this fitted H&M pencil skirt with a sleek Zara turtleneck for a very sophisticated and feminine silhouette. 

I get a shopping high when I find a really great bargain and that's what happened with this H&M coat on sale for 29.99!!! No really...talk about a score!

Ok, so this is where the "high" comes in - invest in quality accessories that you'll wear over and over for years to come. Classic, timeless pieces you can even pass down to your kids and grandkids -  like this beautifully crafted necklace from the Repousse Jewelry "Bamboo Collection." The fine sterling silver piece has a modern spin in its design that makes it a perfect gift for any woman. 

Pairing the grey with some black created some "cool girl" contrast. High-rise calf booties are also a trend this season and so is suede...this BCBG pair covers both and will last winters to come. My classic Chanel flap bag added another element of "high-style" timelessness. 

Final touches included my Chanel J12 watch and Ferragamo aviators - making a high-low outfit fit for the finest...don't you think?

The down jacket is a must for the really cold days. Go for a bomber style or clinched waist for a more figure flattering look.

Tailored coats give a more polished and sophisticated feel. Go for a neutral that will work with everything or make a bold statement with a bright solid color.

POSHEstyle: Oversized Sweater and Thigh High Boots

About 8 years ago I developed an obsession with thigh high boots. I wanted a black leather or suede pair and was on the hunt for one that would fit my college budget.
