I had the pleasure of meeting Elie Tahari at one of his fashion week presentations about two years ago and have been a fan of his clothing ever since. I was so excited to see his collection at Bloomingdales, my favorite department store in NYC! I was on Bloomingdales.com doing some of my fall shopping and per usual, oversized knits and leather were at the top of my list. I came across this outfit while browsing through the latest arrivals from Elie Tahari and fell in love with both this leather skirt and merino wool sweater.

We all know Bloomingdales is one of my favorite “go-to” stores for beauty and fragrance but lately, I’ve been spending more time shopping for chic and trendy outfits. The Bloomingdales flagship store is conveniently located four subway stops from my apartment so it is the ideal place to shop. I was walking through the women’s department and came across the latest collection from Donna Karan. First of all, let me start of by saying I am a huge fan of Donna Karan and have attended a few of her New York Fashion Week shows. I am always impressed by how she is able to keep her collections looking classy yet trendy at the same time.
The leaves are slowly starting to change, there is a slight chill in the air so I think it’s safe to say that fall has officially arrived. This is the time of year where it’s not quite coat weather but it’s ideal for oversized cardigans. Cardigan and oversized sweater season has officially arrived! Below are some of my favorite finds so far this season:
Mad for Plaid this fall and every fall! I just can’t get enough! The best part about fall is the change in season, colors and the need for booties, leather and suede! Plaid is all the rage this season and I am not mad about it, I’m mad for it! This dress is ideal for fall weather because the fabric is heavy enough for a chilly day but also perfect for a sunny fall day. Layer this look with a suede jacket and you are ready to wear one of the hottest fall trends of 2018! Below are some of my other favorite plaid items:
What’s there not to love about a chambray jumpsuit? In general, jumpsuits are the ultimate style statement. They are far beyond a simple dress and create much more of a striking look! Also, I must say, it’s probably one of the easiest looks to pull off. All you need to do is make sure to accessorize correctly! I decided to keep this look casual and paired my jumpsuit with a large tote as well as complementing earrings and flat sandals. If I wanted to dress this look up, I would have opted for statement earrings and a pump or high-heel sandal. Either way, this chambray jumpsuit is ideal wether you dress it up or down. Below are some more of my favorite jumpsuits:
Back in the big apple, back to school today and back to reality…The best part about September in NYC is that the weather is still fabulous; not too hot, not too cold! Are you wondering what to wear on the first day of school? lol…well, how about a simple and chic cotton wrap dress? I paired mine with sneakers for the walk to school and then put on my heels for my meetings! Back to the hustle and bustle of the city! Have a great day y’all!
When in doubt, slip into something red! Trust me, it will brighten your mood and and outlook. Not sure what to wear!? Go bold or go home! This slip dress is available in many colors and under $60! This will be your go-to dress for the rest of the summer. Below are my favorite red dresses under $100!
Remember when these holy jeans became all the rage back in the day and your mom would always say “sweetie, you have a hole in your jeans“. MOM!!! That’s the style!! Well, we have evolved quite a bit from those days (to say the least). Nowadays, I feel as though it’s actually hard to find a pair of jeans that aren’t distressed! The good news is there are plenty of option at various price points. Here are some of my current favorites:
