And We're Back

The Kooples Blouse & Jacket (coming soon AW16) / DL1961 Denim / Steve Madden Shoes / Dannijo Choker

Dudes. Sorry for the hiatus. Needless to say juggling styling, blogging, NYFW, and social media can get a bit time consuming!! I'm so excited to be back to share my favorite fashion week looks and trends I'm pumped about for Fall 2016.

I always find (especially during February FW) that the coat and shoe are the makers or breakers of the look. My failproof pieces for an elevated OOTD (and with some added Kate Moss vibes) are point toe lace ups and a fur topper. I'm a sucker for point toe in general as it tends to lengthen the leg and the lace up detail adds that extra sex appeal. Everyone has an opinion so no matter which (faux) fur you prefer, it can take virtually any outfit and turn it into something amazing. Silky detailed blouse by current favorite, The Kooples, highwaisted skinnies, and a sick choker finish off a chic monochrome look. And what's more New York fashion than all black?

Goodwill Hunting

Goodwill Faux Vest (similar) / DKNY Leather Jacket / Asos Tee / A Gold E Skinnies / Asos Boots (similar)/ BumCake Vintage Choker (similar)

Goodwill has gradually become one of my favorite thrift/vintage stores that exists nationwide. In college, it was the home of many "date party" outfits with taffeta and sequins galore. Towards the end of my term, I started reworking its denim into awesome cutoffs. As the years go by, I find myself discovering gems in the back corner of what I used to think only housed tacky outfits. This vest= case in point. Approximately $15, faux, but it pretty good shape! Hands down one of my favorite finds from Goodwill, I love pulling it out of my winter wardrobe. Here, I bumped up this all black look by adding the vest on top. Wearing it over a leather jacket ups the cool factor and keeps you warm while your at it. Moral of the story is to go to your local Goodwill. You never know what you might find!
