My new favorite item for the summer has to be a flowing kaftan. It's perfect to wear to the beach as a cover up, over jeans for a casual vibe, or paired with some sexy sandals for an evening look. No matter how you wear it you'll look so chic and it's such an easy look to pull together. No effort and all style!

Romper Room

Since the temperatures are close to 80 degrees here in NYC today, I think it is safe to say that summer is right around the corner. You know what that means? It's time to dig your rompers out of the closet...and stock up on some new ones! Stylish like a dress, practical like shorts. In my opinion rompers are a must have piece for warmer weather.

Geneva Dress Coat available at Brooklyn Industries- $198 $129.99

Take Two...

scarf: gift/shirt: H&M/skirt: Brooklyn Industries/tights: H&M/booties: Silence + Noise available at Urban Outfitters

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and hopefully you're enjoying the day off and relaxing...I know I am. I was all set to do a little photoshoot outside today, but then plans changed. As soon as we went outside it was way colder than I thought it was going to be, and insanely windy. If you thought I was going to take my winter coat off for a little outfit shoot, you have got to be kidding me! So photos inside our apartment will have to do (and I seriously hate doing indoor shoots...as you can see from my face in that first photo). 

Oh well...

I really wanted to show off this adorable skirt I picked up at Brooklyn Industries about a month or so ago. Isn't it just darling? Not only are the straps removable, but it also has pockets! Instant love. 

I realized that I need to get more scarves in my collection (and start wearing the ones I have more often). If you are in need of some scarf inspiration I suggest checking out this YouTube video by Wendy's Look Book. Here she shows you 25 ways to wear a scarf in 4.5 minutes. It's an old video...but one of my favorites! Simply brilliant.

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday!!!

Look of the Day- Feeling Festive

1) Wool Coat with Lapels available at Zara- $169

2) Mercer Red Lace Cocktail Dress available at Pixie Market- $120
3) Cream Lip Stain available at Sephora- $13
4) Valentina Lace Up Tassel Heeled Sandals available at Missguided- $56.98

5) 120 Denier Opaque Tights available at Urban Outfitters- $14

To me there is nothing more festive than a bright red dress! Perfect for the holidays, parties, and holiday parties...there is never a bad time to wear something red. Don't you agree? I'm loving the lace detail on this cocktail dress...it makes it even more special.

Are you all starting to get your looks together for your upcoming holiday parties? 

I have two to attend so far...and I need to get on my "A" game...

Trend Alert: LWD

Just because winter is right around the corner is no reason to stop wearing white. Ladies, push your little black dresses to the back of your closet and make room for the LWD (little white dress). Over the last few weeks I have seen this look worn constantly on the red carpet and at events by celebrities. And I have to say, I kind of love it. Here are some of my favorites...

Keira Knightly in Chanel Couture

Kate Beckinsale in Zimmermann

Nicola Peltz in Gucci

Love the LWD look but don't have the budget for a top designer piece? No worries! I put together a must have list of little white dresses...all of which are priced under $80. So get ready to start shopping!!!

Lace Dress available at H&M- $29.95

Plunge Asymmetric Mini Body-Conscious Dress available at ASOS- $41.69

Cooperative Long-Sleeve Text Dot Inset Dress available at Urban Outfitters- $79

Sancha Long Line Asymmetric Zipped Tux Dress available at Missguided- $66.48

60's Shift Dress in Rib with 3/4 Sleeves available at ASOS- $56.85

Which style of a LWD will you be wearing this season???
