Transitioning from summer to fall is always a bit of a challenge for me. Part of it has to do with me being quite claustrophobic when it comes to layering, and the other part is well, I don’t really like winter clothes… So that’s probably why this BCBG is a staple in my wardrobe right now. It keeps “most” of my body warm and it has the layering effect without really layering anything.  The feminine lace with contrasting collar and cuffs is perfectly polished and the open back detail is subtly sexy without trying. I’m actually really glad for the small cutout in the back because I tend to sweat really easy when I’m all clothed up in tight clothes, so thank you BCBGMAXAZRIA for thinking of us gals who has sweating issues. I love you for that! :)

For me this look is bold, vivacious, happy and a tad sassy all combined in one. I love the idea of mixing colors and prints (separately) but I was pretty happy that these two combinations fit together so harmoniously and actually looks like a dress. But the separate piece is also versatile on it’s own!

With the slightly midriff baring crop top, I decided to keep the skirt longer for a sexy yet classy look. I wore this outfit to a party over the weekend and it made me feel extra confident and empowered. This green with the delicious hue of pink is a definite fashion staple, not to mention the leopard print on print makes a bold eye catching statement!

One of the things that I love about NY is the fact that there are as many bodegas as there are photo ops conveniently located at every corner. Whether it is an alley way, next to a dirty glass door, against random brick walls, a dumpster, or even in front of 99 cent City, everything just looks a little bit cooler…

I wasn’t going anywhere important on this sunny and warm day , just down the street and around the corner to my favorite Caribbean fast food joint, Golden Crust (actually that was important). I wanted to test out these booties to see how comfortable they are before I actually wear them out at night. The verdict? Umm, not so comfortable after say 45 minutes, but they are so freakin’ sexy it’s worth it. Sorry feet.

I’m all about midi skirts lately. They are so sweet, elegant and can be styled in so many different ways. I made this in three of my favorite colors (blue, green and fuchsia) but this color and styling is probably my favorite of the bunch, a close tie to the blue and the green I think…I just can’t decide!! Which color is your favorite?

On days when I have no energy to get dressed, I find that this little black midi skirt is the perfect-no-fuss simple piece in my closet that can dress up anything. I wanted the simple yet elegant look so I paired this skirt with a basic black top. To keep things interesting, I added a statement necklace, threw my hair in a bun and wore red lips. With just a few minor additions, a simple outfit was transformed into something a little more exciting and no one could even tell I got ready in 15 minutes… well now you do. :)

Hope you’re enjoying your Monday so far. I’m not, I hate Mondays. I wish it was Saturday again. xo
