If I could purchase any bag right now, I think it would be the PS11 by Proenza Schouler. I’d go for it in black for its versatility and since it’s been forever since I’ve done a Styled 3 Ways post, I figured no time like the present to imagine how I’d style this bag if it were mine. 

First up: My go to uniform: silk blouse, boyfriend jeans + a simple pair of heels.

Secondly, a sassy little cocktail dress for an event that calls for more than just your average clutch.

 

And finally, a look that easily transitions from work into happy hour or even a bit more of a dressed up Saturday for brunch at Pastis followed by some Meatpacking shopping.

Which is your favorite look!?

See more ‘Styled 3 Ways’ posts here. (Psst…I have the Marc by Marc polka dot top above and I absolute love it. Paid for itself time over time)

As far as I’m concerned, next to my family, my bff is next on my gift list each holiday season. They’re there for you year-round and deserve a pretty little thing to say “thank you” and “you are the absolute best” so I wanted to pull together some gift ideas for that best friend in your life.

Want more holiday gift ideas? Well, why here you are!

What are you getting your bff this year?

I love when fashion comes together with a great cause. To commemorate the discovery of the AIDS virus 30 years ago and ignite a new wave of awareness about the AIDS pandemic with the next generation, I partnered with Kenneth Cole, MTV International’s Staying Alive Foundation and amfAR for the Come Together Campaign.

I am wearing Kenneth Cole’s reinterpreted version of the AIDS ribbon, which now features a double loop symbolizing the coming together of individuals and the re-doubling of efforts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. You can purchase one of your own here! The ribbon will be sold through December 31 and 100% of net profits go to AWEARNESS, the Kenneth Cole Foundation in support of the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.

I encourage you to buy & sport a ribbon of your own to show your support…it’s time to #cometogether.

I’ve had hardly any time recently to snap photos of my outfits so thought it may be fun to take a little walk down memory lane today as I head into a busy week with two client events (one taking me to Canada as well). So many watches, so many bangles, so little time!

More outfit posts available here. Hope you all have a fabulous week! xo

While I’m all for arm parties and bangles for days, I’m recently loving the beauty in very simple wrist looks of single, metal bangles and over-sized watches worn solo. How pretty are all these looks?

As mentioned in this post, I just did a little project for Kooba’s Tumblr and their 5 looks, 1 bag feature! I was honored to be asked to work with them as I have loved their bags for years and years- they are stylish, cool and timeless and I loved having the chance to style up their stunning leather & suede Maci.

Pop on over and see the whole feature here.

Huge thanks to Kooba for having me as part of this blogger series and letting me tote around tone with one super sassy bag!

I’m more of a fan of delicate jewelery than your louder, clunkier necklaces, etc. so when Accessory Artists reached out to me to introduce me to their site and send me a piece, I was instantly drawn to this delicate gold leaf necklace. It’s a perfect subtle addition to any look and I’m excited to be giving one away to one lucky reader.

This is a little first glimpse at something I’ve been working on with the awesome team over at Kooba. Isn’t this bag a dream? Her name is Maci. More on that soon!

In other news, picked up this dress from Anthropologie this past weekend after falling in love with the color palette which is so perfect for the new season. Oh and these new booties? I blame Helena. (But it’s ok really because I am totally in love with them and can’t wait to pair them with so many things this fall & winter.)

Hope everyone is having a great week! One of my best friends comes to visit today and I can’t wait!

psst. don’t forget.
