Had a blast at Chanel Le Rouge learning about all the different Chanel fragrance and beauty products! Wearing this gorgeous red dress from Zara - perfect for the holidays, Valentine’s Day and even Lunar New Year! I love the fabric as well as the tie front detail. I wear this to work and have gotten many compliments. I paired it with my favorite over the knee boots from Stuart Weitzman in suede. It’s so hard to find a high quality pair that fit perfectly around my calves. I’m looking forward to my next SW purchase.

Soaking up the sun in this super cute two-piece set. This crop top has the cutest tie front detail and the shorts are high waisted. I really adore black and navy color combos so I paired it with this lovely Tory Burch handbag. I love the chain on this bag as it elevates the overall look. You can dress up this look with black suede heels for a cute date night outfit or dress it down with combat boots or sandals!

Winspring vibes in this fun, flirty dress!

Hey Everyone! It was actually quite warm last Friday here in NYC. I wanted to share this little number which was perfect for the near 60 degree weather we were experiencing! I love how soft & cozy this two piece feels. Layered it up with a leather jacket and infinity scarf for a rocker chic vibe.

This cute printed floral dress is perfect for the holiday season or even for resort. Pair the dress with over-the-knee suede boots for a chic holiday look. For resort season, nude ankle strapped heels would go perfect with this dress and weather.

It’s the first day of snow in NYC and I’m finally feeling in the holiday spirit. I just wanted to share some holiday inspo for the season.

One of the things I like about Fall is that it's leather weather! These pants are a must have staple for Fall and Winter. I got these from Aritzia and just love how it hugs my body. Wearing these pants with a lace off the shoulder top adds interest. The lace details of the top makes this look a proper badass, elegant with an edge. Perfecting the look by adding the pop color handbag from Valentino creates another layer of interest.
