Pencil

When it comes to chic office outfits, I tend to go with pencil style pieces. It’s very simple, the high waist of the pencil style elongates your body, it’s fitted and has a subtle way to mesh with your body. The pencil style accentuates your waist, hugs your curves and pushes you to pay more attention to your walk. So you know ladies, get your strut on!

Pencil style is such a classic look, it’s timeless and you can wear it up or down depending on the fabric and added items you decide to wear your outfit with. Make sure the fit is right on the waist and hips, the rest will fall into place by itself.

My look: Asos Midi pencil dress, Zara shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs Q Hillier bag, Mint Julep starfish earrings and Rayban aviators.

Whether you’re mixing a patterned pencil skirt with a solid color shirt or have a solid pencil skirt and a solid color shirt, just follow your instinct, be confident and stay comfortable. You’ll see how easy it is to make a pencil style outfit work.

Bring it Back

As I continued the pre 4th of July celebration, I decided to bring back to my closet an old oversized white tank and wear it as a beach dress. It worked perfectly, it wasn’t too tight, white always looks good when you’re tanned and it’s a casual look. I added my straw hat and golden accessories to give it a feminine chic twist.

Going to Wainscott, Ditch Plains, Cyril’s and around East Hampton makes me want to get on a surf board and enjoy the waves at another level, who knows maybe this summer I will actually attempt to get on a board.

My Look: Big tank top shirt (old), Mint Julep Starfish Earrings and bracelet and Rayban aviators.

Blue, Red & White

The 4th of July festivities have doubled this year, whether you celebrated the holiday watching fireworks off Sag Harbor last weekend and continue to Montauk this upcoming one, you can’t seem to skip the blue, red and white all over.

This blue, red and white outfit is a casual look to stroll down a beach town. I added my favorite gold accessories and striped flats to give a feminine touch.
