    The holidays are here! I am not quite sure where the year went but I am excited for next month. Cold temperatures get me in the Christmas spirit and I want my wardrobe to match. Long gone are the days of faux fur feeling inexpensive and coarse, these pieces are super soft and luxurious.

    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

    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

    The Leather Jacket

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ‘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!

    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.

     Leopard prints are always classic and elegant. My favorite time of year to wear them is in the fall.  I often wear leopard as a neutral…as a pump, bag or scarf but, this season, I have found amazing clothing styles and have created these 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.
