redefined classics

AYR Tank and Pant / Elizabeth and James Backpack / Mules (on sale!)

Whether you're having a styling block or just need something simple on-the-go, reaching for those "redefined classics" will always steer you in the right fashion direction. One of my favorite brands for just that (and that also happens to be quality made without a hefty price-tag) is AYR. This NY favorite always delivers on clean denim and easy suiting, simple camisoles and comfy trousers. I am madly in love with their "shadow pant" (worn above) that has a drop crotch for added cool and fabric that looks refined but feels amazing. Another no-brainer styling piece is a leather backpack. With it's rise to fame, brands have developed various silhouettes and shapes to suit your fancy. I loved this Elizabeth and James one with a furry flap. Shop the links above <3

Baja in the City

Velvet by Graham & Spencer Top / AYR Shorts / Aska Sandals

A major heat wave in NYC has people sprinting towards any available water (or AC) source. I'm just pretending we're in SoCal. Baja knit, oversized linen shorts, and therapeutic looking sandals complete a look that so effortless summer... just completely mis-planted in the middle of the West Village. Working like a crazy person so excuse the delay and shorter posts but shop the links, enjoy, and also keep eyes on Insta & an occasional Snap story.

Well Suited

AYR Blazer & Pant / Forever 21 Blouse / Miista Shoes

I recently did a closet sweep and realized I was missing two key items any reasonable "fashionista" should own: a suit and a statement bootie.

SUIT -- The suit has been around for ages. I mean those 80s shoulder pads and ill fits of the 90s? Needless to say, the suit silhouette has been through the ringer over the past 50 years. Thank GOD as of late, it has made a revival in a slim, minimal, sexy style. Insert this AYR pairing I found in an unexpected navy with a bit of sheen. I could rock this suit with a tee and Cons, a camisole and pointy pumps, or like I did here, with a tie neck blouse and fun booties. My two main points to preach when finding your perfect suit? QUALITY AND FIT. There is nothing worse than an ill-fitting suit. Period. And like I said, suits have been and will be around, so this is not an area to "skimp". Buy a quality suit, in quality material, in a timeless silhouette. It will last you a lifetime.

Statement Bootie -- I fell in love with these embossed booties from Miista that have detailing all the way down to the heel. Red is my go-to for any pop of color in an accessory but I've never scored anything quite as unique as these. They add the perfect contrast to the suit here and are a closet staple to amp up any minimal or normcore look . Shop the links above to add these two essentials to your wardrobe.
