Shine On

Metallics are very in this spring 2012, you can pair them up with neutrals and even patterns. Your outfits will shine a bit brighter with metallics paired with blacks, white, and browns to keep an even balance. The sky is the limit with your metallic pants, shorts, and skirts. They will sparkle like a starry night! Golden moments happen with sequin shorts and an oversize blouse or sweater. High gloss and sparkly metallic pieces are the perfect mix of luxury and glamour. Raise your glass and toast to a chic, champagne-colored skirt. Cheers!

This past weekend Will took these photographs in New York and the idea of seating on stoops and wearing flats is no longer miles away since the weather is getting a tad warmer.

As I live on suitcase, I always have to plan my outfits carefully to make sure I take all the accessories, shoes, bags and everything else that goes with every outfit I plan to wear.

A black top is always a good idea and adding this fantastic necklace (bought in New York) added color and fun to my head-to-toe black outfit.

Loose top from Zara, skinny jeans from Marciano and Michael Kors chronograph gold watch. Tory Burch flats (classic reva ballet flats) and Marc by Marc Jacobs classic Q Hillier hobo bag.

Inside my Bag

What is inside my bag? A bundle of essentials I need to carry with me every day! My Marc by Marc Jacobs Q Hillier bag has been one of my best purchases. It is quite spacey to house all of my favorite things. My Longchamp ‘Le Pliage’ 2-Tone Pouchette holds all my make-up and first aid essentials (I will reveal on an upcoming post). I also carry the latest issue of Vogue or JCrew’s catalog, icebreakers and/or gum, a notepad to house all my blogging and work light-bulb moments, business cards holder, Ray-Ban sunglasses, mini sewing kit, umbrella, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, blackberries, Louis Vuitton card holder and Tory Burch embossed continental wallet.

My Friday outfit is usually pretty casual – skinny jeans, stripe shirts, comfy jackets, and flat boots to go to the office or run errands. But when I’m heading out to a dinner party and late night cocktails, I tend to stick with my red skinny cropped pants that are super comfortable but still feel dressed up for the occasion.

This JCrew stripe shirt is one my latest JCrew stripe finds and I absolutely love it! It goes great with pants, skirts, shorts, seasonless really. Adding my favorite Gap navy blue blazer is perfect so I don’t need multiple layers to keep me warm.

Layering different prints makes an outfit fun, take my Steve Madden leopeard pointy flats for instance. Effortless look and comfy to the T. Earrings are from Forever21 and bracelet from Mint Julep.
