Cozy Capes, Pretty Ponchos, & Big Blanket Scarves!

Posted on by

The seasons have certainly changed (at least here on Long Island) & my wardrobe has been flipped to prepare me for what’s to come! Some days I can still get away with wearing my denim jacket when heading out, whereas other days, I’m in need of something a little heavier to ward off the dropping temperature. Here’s where a cape, poncho, or blanket scarf enter the stylish picture. Not only are these popular gift items for the holiday season, but they’re must-haves for any fall afternoon. I hate the bulkiness of my coat when I’m running around on the weekend, especially when the stores are packed & I start to get hot, so a cape, poncho, or blanket scarf get me through the hustle & bustle. Also, I always bring one with me when headed to the movies for date night just to make sure I’m comfortable in front of the big screen.

They serve as perfect outerwear to pair with boots, as well as with a turtleneck & skinny jeans, layering tops & leggings, & a sweater dress. Check out these affordable options & all the different color/pattern combinations to make your coziest fashion dreams a reality.

09/22/2015 Darling of the Day: Gwyenth Paltrow’s Monique Lhuillier-Inspired Look for Less!

Posted on by

Gwyneth Paltrow is always one to watch when it comes to celebrity style, never failing to impress since she made her red carpet mark back in the 90s. Lately, the actress has been turning heads with hints of skin, wearing bold head-to-toe monochromatic looks, & she continues to set trends for future Style Darlings. During her appearance at The Broad Museum Black Tie Dinner, she choose a modern take on an evening look with a boxy blouse & wide leg pants, both by designer Monique Lhuillier, & styled her ensemble with chandelier earrings by Norman Silverman & black pumps by Brian Atwood (which I would love to see, but I couldn’t find the pic!).

Splurge Or Save… On A Striped Maxi Skirt!

Posted on by

Most of my spring go-to looks consist of black & white outfits, but as I’m trying to find a balance between lightweight & frilly separates, while warding off the chill from cooler nights, I’ve been thinking a lot about maxi skirts. They’ve been all over storefront windows lately & I’m loving the idea of a modern skirt that can be dressed up for a date or made casual chic with gladiator flats.

Even though I’m usually a fan of black & white in polka dots, houndstooth, or zebra print, I’m getting on board the stripe trend for spring, especially since there are so many different versions of this skirt to pick from. This includes the plus size a.n.a. striped maxi skirt ($19.99) from JC Penney & Dress Barn‘s Roz & Ali two-toned striped maxi skirt ($30.00), which will pair nicely with solid tops in red, pink, or mint. You can find the third option @Forever 21, which is the striped jersey maxi skirt ($15.80), available in sizes XS – L.

My fourth selection is the BCBG striped knit maxi skirt ($48.30) from Last Call by Neiman Marcus, which has been marked down from its original $98.00 price tag. Lastly, the TWO by Vince Camuto nautical stripe maxi skirt ($79.00) from Zappos offers a summer-ready look for boat shoes & a crochet tank.

Which striped skirt do you like the best? How much would you spend on a maxi skirt this season?

Super Style Wishlist: Building An All-Nordstrom Look With Vince Camuto Cap Toe Pumps!

Posted on by

After a short series adorable & exciting flirtation tweets back & forth with the Style Darlings at Vince Camuto, I’ve decided to revisit Super Style Wishlist with the challenge of styling the fabulous VC Signature ‘Priscilla’ pump ($225.00) in port from Nordstrom.  The cap toe trend just isn’t going away this season & the combination of the lush suede against the metallic accent makes for a polished & unexpected finish to any look.

I love the idea of mixing rich gem stones in a colorblocking way, which is why I was immediately drawn to the Trina Turk ‘Monarch’ sheath dress ($298.00) in velvet green.  The seams & waistband are perfect for any shape- not to mention that it’s the perfect dress to wear from the office to happy hour.  Since it’s fall & time for texture, I was very drawn to the Mcginn ‘Cass’ tweed jacket ($435.00) in navy, which makes the transition from day-to-night even more stylish.

Also, I wanted to add some extra splash with accessories like the Lauren Ralph Lauren leopard print calf hair belt ($72.00) & Expressions NYC ‘metallic wave’ box clutch ($48.00) in bronze. As for jewelry, I wanted to play with complimenting hues & was able to achieve this when I found the Kendra Scott ‘Allegra’ bib necklace ($195.00) in zodiac, Juicy Couture ‘Pretty in Pink’ stud earrings ($42.00) in lilac/gold, & Tory Burch ‘Column Resin’ statement ring ($95.00).

Of course the total for this entire look runs over $1400.00, but that’s why we have wishlists! How would you wear the cap toe pumps? Which fall trends are you following?
