Happy Fall! #TGIF It’s the weekend!

It seems we are finally experiencing some fall weather here in NYC! Fall is one of my favorite seasons and also just a really fun time to get dressed! I love it when the weather cools down a bit and it feels like the time to throw on some layers & an amazing jacket….So…..with that in mind it seems like the right time to think about this coming fall season & what my new Fall Favorites will be. Right now I’m loving bright Red paired with Black & Grey neutrals. Also loving bold plaids and leather looks too….

Here are some of things on my fall wish list. It’s always fun to add a few great new pieces each season that can be mixed & matched together with the classic items that are already in your closet.

MY FALL FAVORITES:

Clockwise from top left:

1. Faux Leather Jacket with Studs / Pistola 2. Red Plaid Tote Bag/ Think Royln 3.Faux Leather Shirt/ pushBUTTON 4. Plaid Pants/ Michael Kors 5. Snakeskin Boots / Chloe 6. Crossbody Bag/ Rebecca Minkoff 7. Pleated Skirt/ We11Done 8. Plaid Print Blouse/ Sanctuary 9. White Booties/ Sam Edelman

February 17, 2018February 17, 2018Leave a comment

It was that time of year again….and NYFW just happened!

As a designer & trend hunter, part of my job it to keep up on all of the latest & emerging fashion trends and to be able to translate the styling, colors, fabrics & details (a year ahead of time) into different categories to create new & exciting styles that people will love to wear & want to buy. Sounds simple, but it’s not always that easy…. and like much in life, timing is everything….

All in all, it’s so exciting & inspiring when the new collections come out and all of the top designers show there visions, hard work & creative craftsmanship to the world.

This season I’m loving……

“Work It Girl!” Your Work Out Style Guide….From the Splurge to the Steal…all the #Outfitinspo you need for your #Workout – The Look #35

January 29, 2018January 30, 2018Leave a comment

One of my big goals that I set two years ago was to make exercising a regular (as in a 3-4 times weekly) practice….. and right now I’ve officially completed 2 years of following through on that commitment!

I can honestly say I have hit the gym at least 3 Times each week ( with the exception of sick & travel days), and it feels sooooo good to say that! I feel so much better mentally & physically now & regular exercise helps me feel more productive & motivated.

I have to say though that at first it was hard and sort of unfamiliar to keep this kind of routine, but it truly is a great feeling to follow through on your goals and to really show up for yourself no matter what! Once you have truly made that commitment to yourself, nothing can stop you!

I think that one of the reasons it was so good to accomplish this is because I really got so tired of letting myself down with all the various projects that I would start and then stop over the years… After a while it just gets really old to live like this and…. just as you wouldn’t want to disappoint your loved ones, then why would you want to disappoint yourself ? If there is something you really want to do, the first step is the commitment in your mind (make that promise to yourself), and the second step is to just do it by finding a workout you love & taking the small steps towards what you want to do and sticking with it, either daily or weekly,…. but really just being determined to show up for yourself without worrying about the end results….trust me, you’re worth it!

Wether you are hitting the gym all the time or just getting started, there are so many cute clothing & accessories options out there in all different price points. I find that wearing neutrals mixed with fun brights or pastels are what gets me in a good mood and prepared for that workout or yoga session! Staying motivated can be a challenge but having the right outfit will keep you on point & focused…..

Lets do this….

Here are some of my favorite work out looks from the splurge to the steal:
