A perfect summer afternoon outfit....

I have a real addiction to white linen pants...I own like 5 pairs.  I love wearing them after work in the summer or on the beach.  Here is a perfect summer outfit starting with a pair of linen pants and a flower smoking tube top, perfect balance between tight and loose. Linen pants are super versatile and can be dressed up or worn casually with flip flops. Anyway you do it....it's a great effortless look. 

To Matte or Not to Matte?

Hi all....I know I haven't blogged in a while.  It's been a super busy few months and I can finally get back in the swing of things.  "To Matte or Not to Matte?" is from a fellow blogger herself and a friend.... this is a good one and she will be contributing to my blog once in a while.

I must admit, my obsession with nail polishes became aparent to me last summer when I did a pedicure in every bright color under the sun all throughtout the months of June, July and August.  Once my painted toe nails were done I would pick some bright color, not necessarily matchy matchy for my hands.  The joy I got from seeing my nails all bright and shiney.. I LOVED IT.  At some point in the summer I was introduced to matte nail polish.  I hated the look, no shine - no way!  When I bought a few polishes that were matte (by mistake of course) I would quickly put some clear polish to make then shiney! On my recent pintrest adventures I see the mattee look is in.. could it be?  I think I like them now.. check out these cool polishes - I love these looks.  What do you think?  To matte or not to matte?

Love pleats?

I know it's been a week since I've last blogged.. Its been a busy week and I have a lot of fashion on my mind. I was thinking about how much I love pleats. I use to have a love/hate relationship with pleats since its so hard to keep them in line (literally). I hate wearing pleats to work since as soon as I sit down it become one winkled mess. But they definitely bring back the memory of school uniform days, when my mom use to spend a good deal of time ironing my uniform so that my pleats are perfectly aligned. I was definitely the neatest child in school everyday. My mother....

Here are some pleated looks I love. A total reformation from school uniforms. Don't you think?

Pretty Pastels

Spring is here and it's time to bring out the pastels.  Pastels provide for the ultimate feminine look, with the light shades of pink, blue and green.  It's also very romantic and works well for date night outfits.

Two of my favorite pastel looks are seen below.

I love the pairing of a neutral/beige shirt with a pastel top, I think it gives the ultimate soft romantic look.

Parisian inspired attire

Lately I've been in love with French fashion. This could be because fashion week in Paris just ended but I love how French women have maintained this chic sophisticated look for decades. They have been the pioneers of fashion from Chanel to Ives saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton to Givenchy. They're skilled at wearing the wardrobe essentials stylishly as well as defining their personal fashion style.

You can easily notice their graceful sophistication even if they are faking it. Check out some of my favorite French style inspirations! I've always loved how they accessorize with beautifully tied scarves.

Color Me Bold

This year COLOR is in! I live in NYC so fashion surrounds me..I've seen a lot of women walking around these streets with bright bold colors even NEON is in.  A word to the wise..if you see a yellow dress or a green pant even a bright color accessory, don't pass it by.  You don't wanna pass up an opportunity to become a fashion star.  Try some of these combinations...

A Neon Doily? who would have thought..I would have saved them from my mom's kitchen table if I knew you could do this with it.
