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)

POSHEstyle: Mod Inspired + Thigh High Boots

How do you wear thigh high boots running from show to show during NYFW?? First step - make sure they are comfy! 

After closing down and taking a break, Monika Chiang is back with a focus on shoes. These boots were a score from her previous collection and I am obsessed with them. The lace-up design at the back keeps them snug on my slender legs, and the height is perfect with a little dress or equally chic with a pair of jeans. Thigh high boots are a "must-have" for fall with suede styles taking the lead roll, but leather is never far behind. 

This season is all about retro references, and the moment I saw this Zara dress I thought 60s mod. The shift cut, geometric print and peter pan collar were no brainers for this look. 

I added a pop of the season's "it color" burgundy with a H&M fedora and Sephora lip color in rouge. I rarely wear a dark lip but when I do, I gotta admit, I feel a little like a kick-ass vixen. POW! 

The final touches: a Versace marble sunnies, Chanel J12 watch and Chanel Classic handbag pulled the mod look together, making me a happy wannabe Twiggy for the day :)

POSHEstyle: NYFW Day2 - Zara Jumpsuit + Vintage Moschino

How's this for a late New York Fashion Week post? I've been busy working on a project that I'm launching soon. Super excited and scared at the same time because I hope you dolls will love it. Anyways, I think this post was worth the wait :) 

Royal blue is one of those colors that looks great on EVERY skin tone. Its deep vivid tone is eye-catching and flattering. If you haven't already, include this color in your wardrobe and let the compliments roll. 

This wide leg jumpsuit was a great find at Zara. It was the last in the store, on sale and a size small..can I just say, lucky me :)  I love how light and easy it is. Plus, it sometimes looks like a maxi dress as well - score!

I went with a monochromatic all-over blue look by layering with this vintage navy Moschino blazer I found on ebay. Yes, that's a shopping secret of mine, I've found some amazing vintage pieces online from consignment sites, luxury resellers and ebay. The bicycle accents won me over instantly. They're so quirky and chic. 

The final details were a lace-up sandals also bought on sale at Zara, a vintage Chanel bag, mirrored aviators from American Eagle, Bulova watch and few midi rings.

POSHElist: Lusting for Fall 2015

What's on my wish list this season? Quality not Quantity - that's for sure! Here are a few pieces I am going absolutely gaga for this fall.  

The black has been a love for a little while now and a necessity for any wardrobe (black boots that is), but this wine color Valentino is fall trend perfection and sure to score major style points this fall. 

Long sweaters aren't exactly a crazy trend this fall but they are always chic and so versatile. I love wearing as a dress with thigh high boots, over a maxi skirt for feminine layers, and with stockings and ankle boots. Kenzo makes some of the best sweaters and this one is no different. 

The lace-up look has been trending all summer and continues into fall. Naturally, as it's cooling down, the close toe, ballet flats is the style of choice and I am smitten with these snake prints from Asos. 

Gimme, gimme, gimme more! I love Louboutin and I dream of these "So Kate" being home sweet home. A leopard print pump is a classic that works with everything, so investing in a pair will serve you well. 

Pleats and leather - a match made in heaven for me! I am obsessed with this 1.State colorblock skirt. It's the perfect blend of sophisticated, edgy and chic. Be sure to include pleated skirts in your fall style...you wont regret it!  

 

What do you think about my lust list....are you loving or leaving this fall?

POSHEstyle: The White Tee

Sometimes the simplicity of a white tee is all you need to take an outfit from bland to ultra stylish. It can be paired with everything - jeans, skirts, slacks, shorts - and my ultimate favorite, dresses - for a tres chic ensemble. 

However, keep in mind not all white tees are the same, and different fits work for different silhouettes and styles. Choosing the right tee isn't as simple as it sounds - I'll be sure to do a post on that soon ;) 

With a wardrobe that is mostly filled with blacks, white, neutrals - it's refreshing when I wear a little color. I found this high-waisted skirt at H&M with the prettiest floral print. It's a great length without being too exposed, and the high-waist elongates the legs and clinches at the smallest part of the waist for a very flattering fit. 

Pairing a printed skirt with a crisp white t-shirt keeps the skirt the focal point, and the look effortlessly chic. This American Apparel v-neck fitted tee hugs the figure for a seamless silhouette that is feminine and flirty. A more dressy alternative would be a silk top in white or any color from the skirt's palette. A sweet, soft blush color would be my next choice. 

I hate to face it, but Fall is not too far away and I am already in planning mode. I am very big on shopping smart and investing in pieces that are transitional throughout seasons. Taking this look from summer to fall is easy with a layered blazer. This coral piece from H&M is a sweet addition. 

I recently launched the POSHEshop (be sure to check it out) where I will be bringing capsule collections of things I wear, exclusive designers, original pieces and a host of goodies including this mint LAPOSHE clutch in a variety of colors. I had this one personally monogrammed with my zodiac sign "Gemini" and I absolutely LOVE it! 

 

Blocked heels have been a big trend this season and these nude beauties from Kensie have been a life-saver for me. I have worn then repetitively with their versatility and comfort. 

The final details included; a Bulova watch, American Eagle aviators, stacked mixed metallic rings, and a mint beaded necklace. Accessories are the special touches that brings an outfit to life - whether it be minimalist or art-deco, over-the-top glam - and these mint colors play so well with the floral skirt and on the white shirt for a cohesive and dynamic look.
