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: All White - Denim Shorts + Snow!

We all have to admit that no matter how cold or slippery and gross the snow gets; it's a real beauty to behold when it's freshly fallen and it makes us feel like a kid again! 

Given this was the first day of Spring - yes, this post is long overdue - I decided to make the best of what was hopefully the last snow day for the season. 

With that said, I put on my winter boots by Etienne Aigner, a pair of white denim shorts from Guess, a cozy Xhiliration sweater, a sleeveless shirt dress by Forever21 and an infinity scarf from Joe Fresh, and headed to Central Park for some scenic snow. Typically, this isn't my everyday style but I wanted to do something fun and different for the day.

The all-white look was very cool and casual. The different textures in the fabric added dimension to the outfit. I especially liked how the midi length of the shirt dress added some coverage layered over the short shorts - that's the conservative side of this Gemini talking and nowadays she wins! 

I finished the look with silver accessories - a Michael Kors watch, Cartier Love ring, Tiffany & Co bracelet and Ray-Ban sunnies. 

It was a lovely day in the park and surprisingly not too cold. But, seriously now - can we move on to Spring?! I have some chic looks coming your way for the season :)

POSHEstyle: Lace Dress + Belted Scarf

The snow may finally be behind us, but this was the first day of Spring - and what a white one it was! 

Nonetheless, it was a lovely day. Central Park's beauty transcends seasons. Whether with its lush greens and blooming gardens or as a Winter wonderland, it's always a scenic and serene escape from the concrete buildings and busy streets.  

Crochet is a huge trend for Spring and so are white dresses. I've had this H&M number for a little while but like I always say - invest in piece that can stand the test of time (classics first) and then add the trends here and there (trends after).  

The micro length of the dress made it the perfect candidate for my thigh high boots by Monika Chiang. Wearing a mini shift dress with thigh high boots leaves only a hint of skin exposed, making it more fashion-forward and sophisticated. 

The belted scarf has also been a popular look, and I've been doing it for a while but hadn't document. This Oudifu scarf is so warm and chic with the elephant prints. I love that it is reversible between predominantly burgundy or predominantly white. I wore it on the white side for a more all-white subtle look, with the elephant print complementing my burgundy David and Young fedora. 

Even with all the snow, it wasn't a super cold day, so I layered with a light coat from Forever21. What I love most about this coat is its feminine style. It also looks great worn as a dress - I'll do a post on that look as well soon. 

The final details to this look were my Chanel J12 watch, Tiffany & Co bracelet and Ray-Ban aviators.

POSHEstyle: Bold Stripes + White Denim

It seems stripes return to the spotlight every year, but this season's play on the motif is bigger and bolder then ever - from mod zigzag to sailor motifs this print will be a hit on the streets for Spring/Summer 2015. 

Stripes can be tricky however, as they don't compliment every body type. When shopping, keep this in mind - horizontal stripes can widen a body frame and vertical stripes can add height. If the bold is too much for you, I recommend trying thin stripes. They are sophisticated and timeless, and also a great staple that pair well with almost everything. 

White denim is also back and more transitional than ever.  Though a summer favorite, white  has become a year round basic, and we'll be seeing much more for 2015. 

I wore this high-rise pair by Levi's with a cropped sweater from Forever21, and an oversized Forever21 moto jacket. A classic pair of Christian Louboutin pigalle and Gucci soho disco bag complemented the neutral color theme of the outfit. Final touches included; vintage brooches, a Sara Designs Swarovski crystal wrap bracelet and America Eagle mirrored aviators.

POSHEstyle: Sequins to the Office

Sequins to work? Sure you can!

I love to experiment when it comes to corporate style by wearing pieces that aren't generally associated as office appropriate. Wearing sequins to the office is one such situation. Many fear wearing sparkles during the day or believe it's too much for work, but this shimmery fabric - if done right - can really make an outfit.   

The main trick is to rock sequins in a casual-glam way that looks effortlessly chic. Mix your sequins with something more casual or classic, to offset and balance the glitz. Another tip - especially if trying this look for the first time - stick to the darker hues of a color, such as, navy blue, black, maroon or a deep purple. The darker the color the more subtle the sequins. 

The pencil length of this sequins skirt naturally gives it a sophisticated flair and is a great choice for an office look. Though I originally purchased this Forever21 skirt for a dressy event, I decided to add a little pizzazz to my day and wear it to work instead. Why not? 

I paired the skirt with a crisp white shirt from ASOS and a Forever21 navy blue turtleneck sweater-vest with the most interesting cut-out side details. For more corporate chicness, I added a white blazer from H&M with white Christian Louboutin pigalle pumps. 

I kept the accessories at a minimum with my Hermes watch, Tiffany & Co bracelet, diamond rings and one of my favorite pieces, a delicate evil-eye necklace.

The final touch necessary to pull together your corporate style and truly make it work appropriate is your bag. I love Coach's assortments. The styles are clean, classic, contemporary and a great price point. It's a classic brand with a solid reputation and a great choice for work. This Coach double zip bag has multiple compartments, is a great size and the neutral blue color works with everything. I even took a break from the office, as you saw in the video above, to visit the store. I'm on the hunt for a new classic black work bag.
