    The Knit Blazer

    Jackets are one of the quickest and easiest ways to create a polished appearance. You can dress them up if you want to be dressier or wear them with denim for a more casual vibe. This soft knit blazer in the almost-navy color is perfect for Spring. You can wear this jacket with a number of colors…black, white and a variety of bright and pastel colors. It would also would look great over a dress. With jackets, I expect a bit more from them and want them to last so I tend to spend a bit more than I do on tops or dresses. I take good care of my jackets and have had some for over 5 years and wear as often as once a week!  Available at www.neimanmarcus.com

    A New Party Top

    For those impromptu moments when your husband wants to grab a cocktail or your girlfriend wants to have dinner, it is nice to have a pretty top to throw on. This beautiful silk top from Joie is an excellent choice that will transition between the winter and spring seasons. I styled it with white denim for this shot but another fun look would be to wear with distressed denim…the contrast between the dressy and casual fabrics will create a fashion forward appearance. Available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

    After a fun and festive holiday season, I am in the mood to get back to basics…which means lots of salads, new goals and intentions and also fresh wardrobe updates. While glitz and glamour is perfect for the holidays…clean, crisp styles are appealing to me right now. White shirts are a staple of mine and I have quite a few in my wardrobe. Classic and versatile, you can wear them with a number of different pieces…they can be dressy or casual.  These pieces are fresh updates to the styles already in my closet.

    Sometimes I like to have a fancy dinner party…other times, a cozy supper and sometimes just champagne and an amuse bouche (sounds fancier than it is). For any of these occasions, I like to feel comfortable pouring drinks, serving food and either mingling around or cozying up on the sofa. Here are three looks that that are ideal for entertaining at home and feeling comfortable at the same time.

    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

    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

    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.

Top available at www.zara.com, pants available at www.shopbop.com.
