Unconventional Convention
[[MORE]]
If you haven’t already noticed, I absolutely love blazers!
Whether dressing-up traditional office wear, or an everyday pair of jeans, blazers are a great way to add sophistication and style to any ensemble.
For extra impact, try one in a bright color- a perfect way to twist the rules of convention.

Spoiler Alert: Project Runway's Winning Collection
[[MORE]]
Having the honor of attending the Project Runway finale taping was an amazing experience in itself, but sitting second-row was priceless!
Here are some shots I took during the show last month, at New York Fashion Week, of the collection I hoped would win, and actually did!

Emerald at Dusk
[[MORE]]
Nothing takes a date night ensemble to the next level like a body-hugging top and sky-high pumps.
This top is actually a shirt-length dress, which I of course could never wear, so why not transform it into something that works for me? Besides, one girls mini-dress is another girl’s longline top!

Currently Coveting: Classic Sophistication
[[MORE]] I don’t know what it is about Fall, that makes me covet a more sophisticated style than other seasons, but right now, I’m loving the subtle, chic-appeal of a classic tote and flats. (These beauties are from Ivanka Trump’s collection via Nordstrom- I see a shopping trip in my future!)
Does your style slightly or dramatically change season to season, or...

Shimmer
[[MORE]]
A little shimmer goes a long way, and a lot of shimmer goes even further.
A sequin top is perfect for a night out on the town, a dinner date, or even a Holiday party.
Will you be wearing sequins this season?

Chambray & Denim
[[MORE]]
I love the denim-on-denim affect of a chambray button-down with jeans.
I’ve been wanting to add something chambray to my wardrobe for a while now, and when I spotted this one at Target over the weekend (on sale for $16.99), it was a no brainer!
What I especially love about this particular type of woven fabric is its ability to be dressed-up or down, and look just as...

I can’t wait until the weather in my hometown goes from warm days and cool nights to 24/7 cold. With that kind of weather, I could wear outfits like this everyday.

Currently Coveting: Suede & Leather Satchel
[[MORE]]
This beauty by Tory Burch has been on my wish-list from the moment I spotted it. I’m loving this shade of brownish-orange for Fall, and the suede only adds to the loveliness and gotta-have-it appeal. Best of all, it’ll practically go with everything!
What are you currently coveting?

As hard as it is wearing a dress in cool weather, the wind makes it even harder! So on days like this one, tights are a must, and not just for obvious reasons. Opaque tights not only protect from the cold, they add a sense of chicness...
