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!

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. 

What do guys think about the rocker-chic look? We'd love some feedback and subscribe to our blog to keep up with our posts.

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day1 - White Knit Sweater + Black Leather Skirt

With just one show scheduled off site, the Yuna Yang Fall 2015 collection, my first day of Fashion Week was a breeze. I decided to go with a look that was simple and effortless. It was a very chilly evening in NYC and I wanted to feel cozy and comfortable. For what was to be a light and relaxed night, a classic black and white monochromatic look was a no brainer. 

One of my favorite items right now is my pencil leather skirt from my clothing line LAPOSHE. You'll see I wore a few pieces from my collection throughout the week and will have them up on the shop for pre-orders soon. 

I paired the skirt with a sleeveless turtleneck sweater vest from Forever21 and a sleek, fitted heat-tech top from Uniqlo. Layered over that was my vintage fur coat, which keeps me so warm I would wear it everyday if I didn't consider that a fashion crime. Aldo ankle booties with gathered socks, and my trusted Gucci Soho Disco bag finished off this feminine yet edgy look. (click images to expand) 

 

My photographer wasn't available this evening so these pics aren't my usual high quality, but I didn't want to not document the look for your guys, so I made due with what I had. Leave a comment below if you like this classic combo.

POSHE Travels: Crochet Midi Pencil Dress

Eat. Pray. Love.

Portland, Jamaica. 

With just a few days before heading back to NYC, I took a day trip to Portland, Jamaica. This to me is one of the most beautiful, lush and scenic parts of the island. If you haven't visited Jamaica, and specifically here, I suggest you add it to your bucket list - I promise you won't be disappointed. 

Frenchmen's Cove

In San-San, Portland, you'll find Frenchmen's Cove - a very unique beach often referred to as "paradise" and rated one of the best in the world. What makes this beach so magical is the amazing way the river meets the ocean in the cove. 

The day was a bit overcast but I wouldn't make that spoil the adventure and the elated feeling of actually fitting in a visit. I had planned to take a dip, but instead decided to just enjoyed the scenery, read some magazines and have some "dry" fun. I wore one of my favorite dresses, a crochet, midi, pencil fit dress from Joe Fresh. It's one of those pieces I've dressed up and worn to dinner resulting in heads turning and lots of compliments; and dressed and worn casually with flats, like today. It is super comfortable and very chic. I like to belt it, like I did here with a Delia's belt, to give more definition to the waist. Usually, I wear little to no accessories with it. Today, I paired it with my Bulova watch, a delicate pearl ring and my American Eagle aviators. 

My visit was too short but oh so sweet. I can't wait to go back to Portland for an extended stay. I've yet to try the renovated and transformed luxury hotel, Trident Castle. I've heard nothing but rave reviews so it's definitely on my list. I had an amazing vacation in Jamaica - there is just no place like home! 

Let me know if you guys have visited as well and how your experience was. Also, if you need any recommended spots as a first-timer or return visitor, I'm happy to share my "must-do" and "must-see" lists.

POSHE Travels: Printed Romper

Eat. Pray. Love.

Treasure Beach, Jamaica

It's day two of our serene getaway in the beautiful Treasure Beach, St.Elizabeth. After a late night and subsequently late morning, we went straight to lunch. Our friend took us to a cool restaurant on the beach called Frenchmen's Reef, with lots of energy and some great vibes. It was relax, chill and chat time!
 

I love a cute romper, especially for the tropics. It's such an easy pull together look you can wear day or night. It's no hassle to style because you already have a full outfit and it's generally flattering to a range of body types. The soft neutral tone of this romper from True Light makes the colors of the floral pattern really pop. The keyhole design is perfect for a sneak peek worn over a swimsuit, or bralette similar to the Kensie I am wearing. I liked the contrast of the animal print - a neutral in my book - against the floral print on the romper.  The American Eagle aviators added some cool edge to this cutesy look, and Bridget's "Rose" sandals were the perfect complement of casual-chic. 

My girlfriend, Kaysian, went with a feminine sheer top worn over her Despi swimsuit. She paired it with denim shorts from Abercrombie & Fitch, and accessorized with her French Connection crossbody bag, keeping within a fresh blue color palette. Bridget's sandals, a Michael Kors watch, Ray-Ban sunnies  and Jamaican brand made, Happy Beads bracelets, completed this easy, breezy look.  

Our friendship is over a decade long and we always have such a great time hanging out. Ironically, we met wearing the same thing to the same party and instantly connected. Though we have our individual styles, there is definitely an overlap and mutual respect for each other's unique aesthetics. Best friends don't only play together, they style together too. Stay tuned for out next Eat. Pray. Love adventure.....

Eat. Pray. Love.

Treasure Beach, Jamaica 

During my trip to Jamaica in January, my best-friend, Kaysian and I decided to take a few days away from the hustle and drama of the city, Kingston,  to get some peace of mind, body and soul in a more natural and organic part of the island, Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth. This was extra special for me because it's where my mom was born, and where I have some of my best childhood memories. 

Our first morning there, we had breakfast at Jake's - an ultra luxurious, relaxing and gorgeous resort. The food was delicious and the ambiance was so calming and peaceful. Usually, we're chatting away non-stop about random topics, but this time we both were content in being silent and really taking in the beauty that surrounded us. 

I wore a mint green knit tunic from Free People over high waisted floral shorts from Forever21, with the cutest ruffles. My American Eagle mirrored sunglasses - which was a staple the entire vacation - and Jamaican-made Bridgets "Rose" sandals. The sandals are a coveted and sought after item in Jamaica and are sold all over the world. The quantities are very limited however, so it's not easy getting your feet in a pair. I'm working on having a curated collection available on the store for summer, so let me know if you guys like them. 

Kaysian is wearing a floral shirt dress from Free People with Bridget's "Cutaway" sandals and a blue French Connection crossbody bag. She added some cool girl factor with a pair of Ray-ban sunnies. 

We spent the rest of the day exploring the area, talking with the locals, swimming at another hot spot Jack's Sprat and hanging by the pool with a little music, magazines and some Pinot Grigio. 

It was a relaxing day, nurturing to the soul, that ended with a magical sunset.  I can't wait for our next "Eat. Pray. Love" adventure.
