SWAG for him & her...




Ladies and gents, you'll find this amazing head piece at Zara's for only $20.  It's under men's fashion, but I did find it hard to resist so I purchased one for myself as well.  


There is something so sexy and alluring about wearing men's clothing or accessories especially when it belongs to your significant other.  Happy Shopping & Sharing!

At Last MOMA...



My trip to see MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) in NYC was a long anticipated one.  Since the beginning of last year I wanted to go.  At last my birthday was coming up again and I decided to make the trip a reality.  The museum is very contemporary and seamless in design.  I have to say my favorite art collection was Monet.  There was something about entering the room, seeing his work and instantly feeling a veil of calm cascade over me.  It felt like serene bliss as my eyes roamed around the beautiful colors and patterns of his murals.  It was exactly what I needed because it was so unexpected and mesmerizing.  For my outfit I decided to wear an edgy and sleek coat from BCBG, it is on sale for more then half off.  I paired it with a high waist pants and a blouse from ZARA and my hot pink pumps purchased a while ago from Marshalls.

Color me RETRO

 


Hat: BCBG (on sale at Lord & Taylor)
Dress: ZARA
Coat: ZARA
Purse: Burkshire General Store (http://www.berkshiregeneralstore.com

Feeling very retro 60's fashion today with this very affordable dress from ZARA.  The coat seems to fall into the whole ensemble and I absolutely adore this hippie bag which was a gift.  It's okay to play with different prints, textures, and colors to create a unique look that is all your own.

Luxury Struts in with Faux Fur...






Necklace: BCBG
Vest: Lord & Taylor
Belt: Francescas 
Skirt: Top Shop

What's winter without a luxurious looking fur purchase...  The faux fur vest is on sale at Lord & Taylor.  
My four tips today on purchasing faux fur:

1.  Look at the quality of the fur.  Make sure it looks and feels real even if it isn't. 

2.  Make sure you choose a timeless color that works well with the pieces that it will be worn with.

3.  Be sure to wear items that are tight underneath the fur since fur tends to appear voluminous.  For this outfit I sported a belt to cinch the waist of the vest and provide a more slimming silhouette.  

4.  Be sure to rock your fur with confidence, head high with pizazz.
