How to Style: Leather and Lace

s

Awhile back, I had a conversation with a friend discussing how I would like to get a pair of leather leggings.  Living in Florida, it is tough to really justify purchasing a pair since I would wear them fairly infrequently. However, I love how leather looks paired with lace, cozy sweaters and other soft pieces. She said she did not feel comfortable wearing leather because she believed it would look too edgy or super trendy and I convinced her that you can create non-intimidating fashion forward looks with all kind of leather pieces. The conversation inspired me to create these three leather and lace looks that are feminine and flattering for almost everyone. 

 

The Leather Skirt

s

s

This black leather skirt is a classic and will last for many years. Pencil skirts are notoriously flattering and this one is no exception. This beautiful white lace top with dramatic sleeves makes this a look that will turn heads. The skirt is available at www.neimanmarcus.com and the top is available at www.nordstrom.com.

 

The Leather Top

s

Black leather is notoriously edgy but the lace detail and flattering silhouette make this leather and lace peplum top from BCBG a chic dream.  Pair with denim or black pants and a pointy toe pump and you are ready for happy hour with friends.  Available at www.saks.com. 

s

The Leather Jacket

s

ss

This berry colored Rebecca Taylor leather jacket is a fresh take on a leather jacket. The color is far more versatile than you would think and works perfectly with this floral printed lace top.  The jacket is available at www.bloomingdales.com and the top is available at www.nordstrom.com. 

s

I hope this gives you some inspiration on pairing leather and lace together!

 Elegant Thanksgiving Looks 

s

s

As I type it, I am in disbelief that is it almost here…Thanksgiving. The kick off to the 6 week holiday season. I love the holidays and feel it is truly “the most wonderful time of the year” and am excited for all of the gatherings. We have some great content coming to you this season so stay tuned for more. If you have not decided what you are wearing for Thanksgiving…look no further.  I have created three elegant looks to help you look fabulous for your Thanksgiving soirées. 

s

s

Bodysuits are an excellent option when you want your shirt to look pretty and polished. Since Thanksgiving gatherings tend to be longer than a typical dinner or cocktail party, you do not have to worry about your blouse staying tucked in. This gorgeous floral printed bodysuit is perfect in the shimmering copper color.  I paired it with dark denim, a thick gold chain and suede pumps. This and other great bodysuit options are available at www.zara.com.

s

s

Since velvet is a key trend this season in everything from clothing to footwear to accessories…I thought it was important to create a look that featured a unique velvet piece. These A.L.C Velvet Pants have a wide leg and are incredibly soft and comfortable…perfect for a large Thanksgiving meal. I like how this black top looks with this ochre color. Top available at www.zara.com, pants available at www.shopbop.com.

s

s

If you are feeling the urge to dress up a bit, this beautiful A.L.C. floral printed dress is an excellent option. It is not overly dressy but feminine and flattering. Wear with tall suede boots and you are set! Available at www.intermixonline.com.

 

Hope these looks give you some inspiration for your Thanksgiving ensembles!

Fall 2017 Outerwear Edit 

s

‘Tis the season for layering up. Now that fall is in full swing, temperatures are dropping and staying warm is top priority. Since I live in Miami, I typically do not need a lot of coats except when I am traveling and I usually wear something basic and black. However, I have been seeing a number of fashion forward coats this season and am highlighting my favorites below! 

s

s

Since I love all things blush and all things Joie, I could not resist this long car coat. This versatile piece can be worn over dresses for nights out or with jeans and a tee shirt for casual days. The color is flattering on almost all skin tones and the nice wool fabric will keep you warm. Available at www.joie.com. 

s

s

The perfect coat to wear while grabbing coffee with friends. This faux fur coat may not work for the coldest days of the year but is the perfect piece for those times when you need a lighter option and don’t want to sacrifice style.  Available at www.nordstrom.com.

s

s

Classic and covetable…this Iro leather biker jacket is a staple that will last for many years. This beautiful silhouette comes in a several colors but I love the softness and versatility of this taupe hue.  Available at www.netaporter.com.

Fall 2017 Sweater Edit 

s

It is sweater weather..even here in Miami and I am excited to start wearing soft and cozy styles! Growing up in the Midwest, I am accustomed to seasons. While I am happy with our sunny skies almost 365 days a year…I do miss the fall season from time to time so, when the weather cools, I like to start layering up. These pretty options are sure to add some newness into your sweater rotation.

A Classic Cashmere Sweater 

Sometimes I want a sweater that makes me feel feminine..which can be a challenge when trying to stay warm. This off-the-shoulder cashmere sweater manages to do both between cream color and cashmere yarn. Available at www.clubmonaco.com.

Cute and Cozy Loungewear

These cute and cozy loungewear looks will make you want to stay home and relax.

It does not get much cozier than this…I have this sweatshirt in black and cream…I love the dramatic sleeve detail. It is actually an amazingly versatile piece..I also wear it with jeans, boots and a scarf. With flare leg pants being a key trend, I was excited to find these flare leg lounge pants for casual wear since I already own a ton of leggings. Both pieces available at www.freepeople.com.

Luxe Leopard Looks

Our fall photoshoot was shot at MC Kitchen in the Miami Design District.  I was inspired to shoot there one evening while dining on their absolutely delicious Wild Salmon Crudo, Bibb Lettuce Salad and Center Cut Swordfish. MC Kitchen is an upscale, yet approachable, neighborhood restaurant in the Design District area of Miami. The ambiance and food make for an enjoyable evening out. They also have a charming cafe next door with delectable coffee, pastries, salads and sandwiches.
