choker tee
Thursday, September 1
Loving this Topshop t-shirt's built-in choker detail and how it elevates an everyday basic. Layering it under more sophisticated, structured pieces effects that much desired, thrown together, oh-I-always look-this cool look!

tasseled jeans
Tuesday, August 30
Zara strikes again: I just upped my jeans game with this cute tasseled pair!
the puffer jacket
Tuesday, August 30
Of all the cold-weather trends coming down the pike, the puffer may be the easiest—and coziest—one to pull off! Designers such as Stella McCartney and Marques Alameida are updating this winter staple by rendering them in unexpected silhouettes, vivid colors and retro-spirited prints. My favorites include these by Isabel Marant, Asos, Tophsop, Stella McCartney and Zara.

scarf 2.0
Monday, August 29
Found! Winter's best accessory: Tibi's merino wool scarf. To be clear, it is no ordinary scarf. It can be wrapped around your body a million different ways to keep you warm and chic--I love it tied up like a cardigan, above--and worn with pretty much everything wintry. It comes in black (my fave), white and amber.

style under the sun
Friday, August 26
It was a good thing I was on vacation--off the coast of Hvar, Croatia, to be exact--when I discovered 100 Grams of Sun's Instagram account, otherwise I would have died from a lethal case of wanderlust! Brooklyn-based Nanda Hampe chronicles her far-flung adventures across the globe, sharing exquisite images of awe-inspiring locales with personal style to match. Take, for example, her Rhodes Resort dress which harmonizes quite beautifully with Bali's verdant rice fields. Seems to me her secret for vacation dressing success boils down to vibrant hues and prints that can hold their own against breathtaking backdrops. Pieces like these from Yumi Kim, Zimmermann, Asos, Frame and ALC! I say wear them back in reality to feel just a little more glamorous!
