Winter Style: Black & Yellow

Bright Yellow Coat & Black Accessories

Yellow Coat // Striped Sweater // Paneled Leggings // Pom Pom Beanie // Backpack // Rain Booties

I don’t blame you for wanting to stay snuggled in your bed today.  Winter is here and it’s back with a vengeance.  With a high of 27°F in the NYC, you’ll likely find me bundled up in a thick sweater, a pair of leggings and rain booties.  I wish I could say a bold coat could brighten up my outlook, but let’s be real — it’s going to be a puffer jacket kind of day/week/winter.  I hope you’re staying warm today!

Bonjour 2015!

Plaid Blanket Scarf & J.Crew Coat

Hello 2015!  Even though we’re already five days into it, today feels like the official start of the new year. Maybe it’s because I spent all of New Year’s Day hungover in bed.  Or maybe it’s because I’m finally back to work and blogging after a long weekend.  Yeah, let’s pretend it’s that.

Plaid Blanket Scarf & J.Crew Coat

To kick off the New Year, I’ll be sharing some of my outfits from my trip to Europe over Christmas break.  I sported this blanket scarf and this faux fur hooded coat on our visit to the Louvre in Paris.  The fiancé navigated our way through the selfie-obsessed crowds in front of the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo and wandered through as many halls as we could.  We could’ve spent all day there and still not have seen everything so now I’m counting the days until we get to go back!

What to Wear: New Year’s Eve

 

Skirt The Rules // NYE Outfit Ideas // Pink Sweater & Sequin Skirt

Chic Night In: Sweater // Sequin Skirt // Earrings // Faux Fur Scarf // Pumps

I used to dread New Year’s Eve.  It’s a high-expectation holiday (like Valentine’s Day), where you feel obligated to jump through hoops and pay unjust amounts to “have a good time.”  Well a few years ago, my friends and I decided to lower our standards and see where the night would take us.  We got dressed up, went to the first dive bar we could find and ended up singing the night away with a bar full of new best friends.  It was one of my all-time best nights ever because I wasn’t focused on having fun, but rather on the moment itself.

Big Night Out: Sequin Dress // Earrings // Faux Fur Clutch // Cocktail Ring // Heels

So in anticipation this year’s festivities, I put together two outfits to help you make it to midnight.  For a chic night in with friends, I love the idea of pairing an oversized blush sweater with a sequin skirt.  The faux fur scarf adds another layer of texture but keeps things ultra cozy.  For a big night out, it’s all about this gold sequin dress.  Enough said, right?  Pair it with a cocktail ring and dangly earrings and you might give the Times Square ball a run for its money.  Whatever you choose to do tomorrow night, I hope it’s full of magic and sparkle! xx
