Fall Fashion Inspiration

Fall is my absolute favorite season for style!

It's the best time of year in New York City.  The cooler weather is always such a relief since the humidity is so absurd in August.  Walking through Midtown feels like walking over hot coals - I swear.

Sometimes I feel like I'm literally cooking.

Grossness.

But, by Mid-September (right around fashion week!) the heat begins to mellow, and I find myself spending hours, belly-down on my bed, perusing the pages of Vogue and flipping around on shopping websites on my iPad.

Here's a look I'm sure to be rocking this fall:

I'm looking forward to wearing long-sleeved mini dresses from FlirtCatalog.com (my new favorite website for sexy dresses) in a latte shade of cream...

...with bold red lips:

I'm also pretty excited about the recent resurgence of SEQUINS!  They were everywhere on the runways and now I'm seeing them in hot new ready-to-wear collections and I can't get enough.

Check it out...this Ginger Dress by DressThePopulation was worn by Ashley Tisdale at the Rock of Ages premier, but I like the way this model chick pulls it off on Lulu's website:

How cute would this mini look with some fierce statement stilettos like this studded pair from FlirtCatalog.com?

MEOW!

Actually, these heels get me excited for the most ridiculous reason: I love not having to worry about getting a pedicure every week or so during the fall and winter.

What?  I like having more money in the bank for my shopping habit.

As Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing."

Lookin' Good, Losing Money

Hi, Monkeys.

I had a rough week last week.

Which meant a trip to Atlantic City was in order! 

My friends El and Michelle (yes, seriously) had a room booked at Revel in Atlantic City and they invited me along.  Revel is a new Casino and it's smoke free, which was AMAZING!  I hate leaving a casino and smelling like one for days.

Plus it's super unhealthy to be around 2nd hand smoke, kiddies.

Nothing makes me feel better about life than turning my money into plastic chips, and then giving those chips to a stranger in exchange for a few minutes of card-play!  Bye, clothing money!  See ya!

Bah.

At least I looked good as I lost a cool $200.

Here I am posing in the living room of our suite.  There were a ton of quirky toys and books for me to pose with so I took advantage of the situation and decided to blog.

Here I am lookin' for trouble in one of my all-time favorite pieces - a FlirtCatalog.com fish-tail dress. 

I love this dress because it is like an all-inclusive resort for you body parts.  That sounds strange, but straight talk:  there's a bodysuit/leotard inside, so you needn't worry about how you're going to stay IN the dress.

Seriously, I wear a 32 C and there were no awkward boob situations.  Sure, there's a little side-cleavage going on but I like that look.  (Don't you?)

On my wrists I'm wearing a Citrine By The Stones gold-plated bracelet (those bangles are actually one slinky-like bracelet!) and a bone bracelet that my mother purchased for me in St. John, USVI.

I love hi-low hemlines!  And martian guns!  BTW, I'm wearing the same Dolce Vita wedges I wore in my last blog.  I'm obsessed with them.  Sue me!

Here I am on the couch guarding all of the money I'm about to lose, which I kept in my brown and beige bag from FlirtCatalog.com.  Again, I wore this in my last blog but the two pieces are SO versatile.

That's all for now!  Hopefully I'm going to be able to post again soon.

For now, I'll leave you with this instagram of me, El, and Michelle laughing as we fritter away at our savings...jk.

HOT CHILD IN THE CITY!

Hot Child in the City

It is hard to be this adorable all of the time.  This is my version of business casual.  You dig?

Dress from Atlantis Attic - it is a vintage jumper with tiny bows that I like to leave simply knotted.  

Only cost me $5!  SUCH a FIND.

This purse is from FlirtCatalog.com and retails for just $48.00.  I carried the purse with a different outfit to my parent's recent BBQ and all of the older ladies were shocked when I showed them the price online.

You do NOT need to spend upwards of $200 on every freaking handbag you own.

Variety is the spice of life.

Necklace?  Also FlirtCatalog.com.

Shoesies?  DolceVita, baby.

Here's another shot of my new favorite brown baby...is that my iPhone or am I just happy to see you?

Swangin' Chainz.  Drankin' Ice Coffee.  So gangster.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, pumpkins!

Because we can't do anything in a normal way, my family celebrated Father's Day tonight...well...it is Midnight right now...so I mean, last night.

My parents live in Westchester, which is a suburb of Manhattan.  Picket fences, no houses for BLOCKS, all that good stuff.  See below:

Indeed.  That, friends, is my mom's petunia-filled flower box.  #j'adore

For the occasion, I kept it casual.  You can't see cuz I wore my hair huge, but I only wore some simple vintage gold studs in my ears.  Other than that I was jewel-free, which is RATHER unusual for yours truly.

But I couldn't be heel free.  I'm a short little Italian girl (5'5" but I live in downtown NY I'm practically surrounded by statuesque models, people.)

Wha-bAm!

These lovelies are from FlirtCatalog, my most recent addiction.  They're still in stock in coral and black, I think.  Click on the link to buy these Cut-out Platforms.

Here's the full look:  This is me by day, kind of conservative, but you can see I'm still rockin' the sheer. There's something about summer and sheer that's synonymous in my mind...

Werq!

And here's a picture of how I usually stand:

Welcome to the most honest fashion blog on the interwebs.

In any event, this shot of my poor posture actually shows off how cute those lil' green shorties are cut!  (Also from FlirtCatalog, and linked above.)

My top was a hand-me-down from my old college roomie before she left NYC for Swellay.  I'm going to visit her this week so hopefully I'll have time to blog with her as she works for one of my FAVE designers...

Happy Sunday!  I spent Sunday Funday frolicking around lower Manhattan with my friend Janie.  We  went to brunch, then had some cocktails at our friend Erika's house, and wrapped up the evening by getting dinner at the pretty L.E.S restaurant, Ten Bells.  Needless to say, I'm going to be running at least five miles later.

In these fabulous pix I'm wearing my trusty MARC BY MARC bag
my bralette from FlirtCatalog
my sweet new white woven top from FlirtCatalog
sunglasses from FlirtCatalog
black skinnies from Citizens of Humanity
and Dolce Vita wedges (most comfortable wedges EVER) from FlirtCatalog, too.

I guess I was in a rather flirtatious mood.

Short skirts.  Color.  Lollipops and red lipstick.  Frills give me thrills.  I am going to make so many cutie-pants outfits you are going to just die.  (Well not really, duh!)
