Street Chic OOTD

Hey Babies!!

Happy Monday! Let's start off the week with some of my favorite things - namely black, faux leather and my Nike IDs. I hope you enjoy this look.

Outfit Deets:

Bodysuit: American Apparel  [here]

Pants: H&M  [similar]

Sweater: Zara [last season]

Sneakers: Nike IDs (customized)

Autumn Plaids

Hey babes!

Saying that I'm obsessed with plaid would be a ludicrous understatement. There's something about the leaves falling and a good plaid shirt that just makes me feel warm and cozy inside. We had a few warmer fall days in NYC last week so I seized the opportunity to wear a pair of shorts for what would probably be the last time this year. I opted for faux leather black shorts with a pair of stockings just for some added wind protection - after all it's not exactly summer anymore. This outfit is easy breezy and cozy, I hope you like it.

28 Days of Style: Day 5 - Subtle Details

Hey lovelies!!

Today I'm sharing with you what I wore last night for my Day 5 look. (Yes I skipped over Day 4 because it was a super casual, lounge-at-home-all-day-type-of-day).

Yesterday, although the weather was terrible I had previously made dinner and a movie plans and definitely wanted to keep them. I would usually opt for heels and a nice blouse for something like that but I decided to stick to a more casual and overall warm look. Especially considering our recurring snow storms in NYC the last week or so.

I had to throw in a pop of color via my sneakers. Hey, I'm all for all black everything but it's been a long winter and I do miss wearing bright colors! Also, yesterday was the perfect excuse to try out my new jacket. I love it for it's versatility, although I still haven't figured out all the various ways you can wear it. (I'm going to have to study the 10+ pictures on the website to see my other options) It IS technically a men's jacket but having grown up with 2 older brothers I'm no stranger to wearing boy clothes, and you can't beat the comfort!

When it comes down to it, this outfit for me was all in the subtle details. The netted stripes on the sleeve of the sweater paired with the mesh panels on the leggings and the edgy gold accessories all added visual interest to the look. It was the details that really took a plain all black casual look to the next level. Hope you enjoy this one!

Rings: All from H&M except the rose midi ring is from Daily Look

Watch: Michael Kors

Bracelets: Various

Necklace: Aldo

Praying for better weather soon so I can wear some of the new pieces I've been accumulating for Spring. =0]

Until tomorrow,

28 Days of Style: Day 3 Dark and Glamorous

Hi Beauties!!

Today I'm sharing with you my outfit from last night. I had hoped to get it up yesterday but I got back home too late to prepare this post. In the end, it worked out perfectly because today I've just been home in pj's all day. I woke up feeling under the weather so I decided to take it easy today and gather back my strength. So unfortunately I have no stylish Day 4 outfit for you guys but I hope you enjoy what I wore last night.

I received a last minute invitation to a Brooklyn Nets basketball game last night and had to rush to pull together an entire look in about an hour. Being a Brooklyn girl born and raised, missing the game was not an option. To cut corners I stuck with quick messy top knot for my hair and a simple smokey eye with a bold red lip. For my outfit I was feeling dark and glamorous as I attempted to channel my inner Beyonce. Overall, I was happy with the final look. What do you guys think? What did you wear yesterday to start off your week?

28 Days of Style Challenge: Day 1 Leather Sweetheart

Happy Februaryyyyyyyy!!!

The month of love is finally here!! I especially like February because it reminds me that spring is right around the corner. In celebration of that beautiful thought, and as a way to share some love with all of you, I came up with the idea to do a fashion challenge this month. I'm calling it the 28 Days of Style Challenge!!

Each day in the month of February my goal is to upload a new outfit blog post to share some fashion inspiration with all of you! You guys can join in on the fun also. I'll be uploading preview and teaser pictures to my instagram page with the hashtag #28DaysofStyle and I encourage you guys to share your style with me as well. If you decide to recreate any of my looks or you just want to share your own OOTD with me then use the hashtag #28DaysofStyle so that I can see your looks. I'll be sharing my favorites on my own instagram page every week, or maybe every couple of days if you guys really wow me with your fashion sense (which I'm sure you will!).

I hope you guys like this idea! I thought it would be a cute way to interact with all of you. Now, without further ado I present to you Day 1: Leather Sweetheart...
