camel chic

now that it’s fall, i need easy go-to outfits for work. in the summer months i grab a dress and cardigan so for some reason this season feels particularly challenging when it comes to dressing for the office.

this is definitely where your wardrobe staples come in. black pants. turtleneck. trench coat. you really can’t go wrong! this look was inspired by these lovely ladies:

it is also a classic look that really channels audrey hepburn – it’s that era of pearls, trench coats and little black dresses.

here is my take on the look – opt for a camel turtleneck, black trousers that fit perfectly and a red pump. keep the jewelry simple with a gold watch, pearls and a long necklace that hits in the middle to lower bustline:

getting ready for fall

with cooler temperatures (note “cooler” not “cool”) beginning to creep in on the nyc metro area it has me thinking about moving my summer wardrobe into an early fall look. how do i take my summer uniform of distressed cuffed denim jeans, a white t, and nude peep toes into the fall?

easy! throw on a cropped blazer in a sweet and girly hue and a pair of fantastic camel pumps to wean into the fall spirit. hey, it’s better than thinking about all of the cozy sweaters that i’ll have to write about soon once the weather truly breaks! plus i’m not quite ready to part with my summer uniform.

creme de la creme: get the look

i’ve seen this look floating around pinterest for weeks and just cannot get it out of my head. it’s a great, easy-yet-chic, weekend look that can take you from running some quick errands to brunch to a late lunch before getting ready to go out. throw on a glitzy top for a quick day-to-night (in a pinch) change and you’re evening ready in a jiffy. top it off with a big ballerina bun!

street style inspiration and girl crush – my style pill

fear not color, dolls. a little pop can go a long way. case in point, christine from my style pill, who so frequently fearlessly rocks color. i stumbled on this image on pinterest, scooted over to jcrew and found the blythe blouse. once i clicked through to the canary post on my style pill i realized it was the exact blouse christine is rocking in this set of photos. 1 for me!

so here is your homework for the weekend – throw on a little color and spice it up!
