Now this is how you mix graphic pieces this season! Try a black and white blouse with an abstract print, unbuttoned just so and tuck it into a skirt with contrasted piping. It's a major plus if it's asymmetrical or has a tie-front detail as we see here.
Blogger Kelly Framel is ultra-chic in head-to-toe luxe neutrals. Her caramel croc-embossed skirt looks phenomenal paired with her billowy white cape sleeve top and sexy gladiator-style heeled sandals.
It's been a long winter and if you've got the itch to bust out your shorts a bit early, go right ahead! Editor Joanna Hillman demonstrates how to get away with wearing shorts in the spring by pairing them with a cool, cropped moto leather jacket and a luxe white tee.
I have always been incredibly loyal to all the makeup bags I have had in the past, only updating when I absolutely had to due to a rip or broken zipper. My most recent was metallic pink with a top zip that I had used for the past six years, and with it being on its last legs, I set out to replace it. I knew I wanted something black and monogrammed, since I had gotten really tired of the pink and wanted something more elevated. After over a month of searching I happened to bring it up at work and someone mentioned Cuyana as an option. I had completely forgotten how cool their designs are and the fact that they monogram. I went back and forth between the Leather Zipper Pouch and the Leather Travel Case Set, but decided to go with the set since I could use the bigger one when traveling and they both sit upright as opposed to slouching like my old one. Once they arrived, I couldn't have been happier—both were perfectly personalized and felt super luxe making them a definite must-have in my book.
Talk about black and white done right! Elena Perminova ups the ante on street style in her statement sunglasses, cropped mock neck top, slit skirt layered over a sexy lace slip and strappy pointed-toe flats. This outfit is head-to-toe chic in every possible way.
Blogger Sheryl certainly knows a thing or two about how to wear suede for spring. Her suede jacket instantly adds a luxe feel to her Ray-Ban sunglasses, white tee, boyfriend jeans and pointed toe heels.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley nails airport style yet again. Loving her oversize sunglasses, grey coat, skinny jeans and suede boots. The leopard bag gives the ensemble a perfect dose of edge and the right amount of detail in its pattern.
If you're not down for the overall trend just yet, try it out first with the feminine version: the overall dress. Perhaps one of the most versatile of transitional pieces, this dress allows for quick layering or the arms-out approach for summer. Fashion blogger Anh shows us how to style the trend by layering a v-neck faux suede Tibi dress over a short sleeve button up. She added details in with a girly heel, mini bag and retro-inspired sunglasses.
When it comes to cozy coats, nothing beats shearling. The fluffy material continues to blanket outerwear for F/W 2016, from floor sweeping coats to shorter styles. Actress Keira Knightley is effortlessly urban-luxe in her Acne shearling leather jacket, Givenchy bag and knit beanie. Absolutely a winter look worth recreating!
The lovely team at The Real Real recently reached out to ask what my dream date would be, who it would be with, and what piece from their covet-worthy site I would pick to wear on said date. I immediately knew what my answers were for each question and this is the exact outfit I envisioned featuring my top TRR pick. Date and look details below...
WHO/WHERE
My dream date would be with my fiancé in the city of Paris.
THE PLAN
Aimlessly stroll the beautiful streets, take photos, indulge in sweets and pastries from different patisseries, scour flea markets, people-watch in the parks, have a romantic dinner, and end the day with a concert (preferably The Kills or Feist).
THE REAL REAL PICK
I've been crushing on the Saint Laurent Sac de Jour bag for so long and know it would be the perfect companion since it's incredibly chic and practical.
Taking notes from this updated classic and cool look. The cropped jeans add great flair to the black trench coat, simple luxe t-shirt and Isabel Marant ankle boots.
Crushing on this pink faux shearling coat. It goes perfect with sleek accessories, edgy black jeans, and must-have boots. Add a few luxe beauty touches and it's good to go!
This asymmetrical printed skirt from Neiman Marcus makes quite the statement. For fall, I thought it would be great styled with a luxe camel sweater, chic sunglasses, a simple silver watch, and a classic quilted bag. As for the shoes, rather than go with an expected pair of lace-up heels or ankle boots, I went with sleek white sneakers give the look a laid-back cool feel. Top with a bright red-orange lip, and you've got a comfy, yet chic fall look!
My apartment is coming along slowly and lately I'm trying to focus more on the bedroom. This neutral chic space in New York City recently caught my eye as inspiration. I love the crisp white linens, textured walls, exposed beams and nude lamp shades!
