POSHEstyle: The Pleated Skirt + Karl Who? Sweatshirt

The accordion pleated skirt is back with a vengeance this spring - from maxi to mini - this look is being seen all over the racks and is a must this season.  

This off-white Zara pleated skirt is the perfect way to bring some leather into spring. The color is light and airy; the length is classy and chic; and the "leather meets pleats" is a good balance of timeless and modern. 

Now, who says you can't wear a sweatshirt to work or to drinks...even to dinner?! Well, I would be comfortable (literally) wearing this outfit in any of those settings. The high-fashion style of the Karl Who? sweatshirt makes it an easily transitional piece, and its sports-luxe look is very on trend. I've team up with the creators once again to offer a 20% discount with code POSHE20 at checkout - so head over to the site shopsocialtte.com to get this and other super chic styles ;) 

You can never go wrong with a classic, sleek Prada bag for work, it denotes "boss-lady" and usually means business. It also works equally well as a day bag with jeans and a t-shirt for that chic, effortless style. A timeless choice!

As Marilyn Monroe said - "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world." These Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps definitely make me feel like I have superpowers every time I put them on. A red pair of pumps will do wonders in spicing up your closet, and adding a touch of va-va-voom to any look. 

And, not to forget it's all in the details! I keep my accessories standard for the most part, but have fun with it if that's your style. For this look, I paired a cool pair of RayBan wayfarers, my Hermes watch and a few vintage rings.

POSHEstyle: NYFW - The Luana Satchel + Faux Fur Stole

We've heard it over and over - accessories can make an outfit. This truly is a golden fashion rule....but what's more important is choosing the right accessories that can bring your look from sweet to superstar - just like that! 

A budget-friendly outfit can look like a million bucks when paired with carefully selected accents. I'm a very conscious shopper when it comes to clothing - the majority of my wardrobe are bought at fast fashion or mid-priced stores - and my designer pieces are generally a steal at sample sales or major discounted finds. But, accessories I will spend a little more on...because they are the most versatile part of a look, and can stand the test of time - or at least long enough to be worth the splurge.

The classic yet modern look of this Luana Italy leather satchel instantly caught my attention. Its elegant style screams old-hollywood glam, and the edgy hardware detail balances the right touch of contemporary. The best part - the price is accessible and won't break the bank. Talk about affordable luxury at its finest! 

A fab fur stole (faux preferably) has been a major trend for fall/winter. I bought this from an independent designer around November, and trust, it was no easy feat waiting out the debut until NYFW. I adore the contrasting sides of stripes and hot pink, the touch is simply divine, and overall, it is just a stunning, eye-catching piece. Here I showed three (3) way I like to wear it - double draped, over-the shoulder, and as a bag accent ;)  

Ok, so let's get back to basics of this look. Simplicity can be so stunning, and this American Apparel black turtle-neck, and Zara high-waisted pencil skirt form the perfect team in achieving sophisticated ease. 

To keep the vintage-glam homage of this look, the final touches included my Christian Louboutin pigalle pumps, classic Chanel oversized sunglasses, and a timeless Hermes watch.

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?

POSHEstyle: The Linen Blazer

Born an island girl, linen is one of my favorite fabrics to wear. It's cool, clean, chic, and a great transitional piece from summer to fall. 

I had been coveting this Banana Republic jacket from in the Spring, but it wasn't until late summer, and an awesome sale, that I got my hands on it.  The boyfriend fit is relaxed, and brings a casual element to a typically structured piece. It's easy to wear and great for layering. 

Blue jeans and a white shirt is quite possibly the easiest look anyone can throw together, and that's exactly what I did for this NYFW look. This soft, chiffon top by Liz Claiborne gave the outfit a feminine touch, against the more rugged, distressed Current Elliott denim shorts. 

Layering Sara Designs tribal necklaces added a pop of color and playfulness, especially complemented with this beauty of a shoe from Zara. The lace-up look ruled the pave walks all summer and walked its way right into the hottest trends for fall too. 

Now, to my favorite new item! On my recent European trip (posts still to come) I stopped in Paris for a couple days and made a visit to the LV flagship store. Needless to say, the Louis Vuitton Capucines BB returned to NYC with me. Its compact size and classic style is perfection. The arm handle and the shoulder strap make it versatile, and the nude color goes with everything! 

Living in NYC, I don't wear shorts as much as I did in my island days, but layer a boyfriend blazer and add a pair of strappy sandals - and viola -  short shorts are city chic! (click to expand)
