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: NYFW - Shades of Love

Valentine's Day is suppose to be all warm and fuzzy, right? Well, in NYC this past one was cold and icy! Nonetheless, it is all about what's on the outside, and the record low chilly temperatures didn't stop the heat from turning up for many ;) I spent my day doing something that I LOVE...getting lost in next season's collections and falling madly in love with a few hot thangs. 

This red and plum combo had me feeling all kinds of "lovie-dovie" - too bad I didn't exactly have a special someone to be all mushy with -  but I did get some gorgeous roses from an admirer, and they were a warm surprise after a frigid day. I'm a big romantic, and though it may sound cliche, I love the idea of so much love floating in the air :)

A long maxi skirt with an oversized sweater is one of the chicest combos a woman can wear. It's feminine and effortless, and can work casually with flats or sneakers, or dressed up with heels. Pleats have been a big trend for fall/winter, and so has this maroon/burgundy color, so it's double touch point with this beauty from Anthropologie. 

A red/burgundy oversized Missoni sweater broke the monotone color when layered with this faux leather moto jacket from Hou5e Boutique. If you don't own a moto jacket as yet, it's a must for every closet - trust it opens a world of style possibilities. You can wear anything, add a moto jacket and it's instantly cool. 

I love when shoes are a work of art and these Monika Chiang mohawk pumps are no disappointment. The color, gold accents and unique feature make it quite a standout. Other final details to my NYFW "Shades of Love" look included a Mansur Gavriel coin purse that doubles as a clutch - now that's something that makes my heart smile :)

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: The HOU5E Leather Moto Jacket

A little glam, a little rock and a whole lot cozy - I'm all for it! 

This faux leather moto jacket was a Christmas gift from the 2 sisters that own HouseofFive (HOU5E) Boutique. I'm a huge advocate for supporting other young women, but this jacket speaks for itself, and needs no feminist movement behind it. It's in the color for the season, a great fit, and the quality is truly impressive. I seriously had an "Ahhh" moment when I opened the package - it's just so gorgeous!  

The poncho has been a major trend since the fall, and understandably after the severe winters we've had - who doesn't want to walk around wrapped in a warm blanket? I found this one with hints of burgundy, and the "new black" - grey, at Burlington a few months ago. It was a pretty chilly day so I layered it with a grey long sleeve top for added warmth, and by-passed the "no white after labor day" rule with these skinnies from J. Brand. 

It just happens my jacket fits perfectly with these Franco Sarto booties - quite possibly the most comfy pair I own - and adding this cute pom-pom from Zara to my Chanel Classic Flap tied the whole look together.
