I never really plan my outfits in advance (which is maybe why I’m perpetually running late), but I like to start my day off feeling like a blank canvas.  Some days — like today — my outfit ideas start off soft and feminine and end up more forward and fierce.  Case in point: a fun floral dress that was completely transformed by a little leather and a pop of neon.  Take a little time to experiment with your wardrobe and I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised with all the possibilities!

luxe for less.

September 30, 2013

Wonder tortoise link necklace; C. Wonder snakeskin skinny bangle; Gorjana & Griffin alphabet disc bracelet; Juicy Couture pave pyramid bracelet; Pour La Victoire Mai patent black wedge pumps

I hate to admit it, but I was one of the maniacs that stayed up until 4:30 AM for the release of the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collections a few weeks ago. When the packages came in the mail, I couldn’t decide whether the sleep deprivation was worth it.  But once this outfit came together, I felt a little bit better about my life.  I’m all about creating luxe looks for less.  And while the real 3.1 Phillip Lim is still on my wishlist, I’m glad I get to have a few fun pieces from the designer collab to call my own.  Did you score any pieces from the collection?  I would love to see how you styled them!

city meets country.

September 27, 2013

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; fall outfit photo; how to wear a brown leather skirt; Forever 21 maroon gingham button up shirt; Le Tote brown leather skirt; Le Tote gold hardware leather cuff; C. Wonder tortoise square link necklace; Hello Fab gold glam sequin clutch; Diane von Furstenberg DVF April leopard calf hair pumps

Okay, so I’ll be completely honest here: I don’t really do country and I don’t do rodeos.  Truth is, I once bought a pair of cowboy boots … and then only wore them once.  Needless to say, I’m much more of a city girl that is occasionally inspired by the country spirit.  So maybe my interpretation involves sequin and leopard — would you expect anything less?
