Jungle Fever

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! We have launched right into summer very quickly here in New York. There is just no escape for the early humidity that sticks to you all day, and it is only June! This little jumpsuit reminds me of the jungle, quite fitting for this current weather condition in the city :P

The Cropped Trench

Hi everyone, hope you are having a great week. I would like to start the blog by commemorating Oscar de la Renta, one of my all time favorite designers. I am deeply saddened by his passing. This great fashion icon and inspiration led me to live in this wonderful city of NY I now call home. RIP ODLR.

As the temperature gets noticeably chillier, I imagine there aren't many more bare leg days to go before having to put on stockings and knee high boots to keep warm. While we are still in this relatively mild and breezy weather, I wasted no time in enjoying my short trench jacket. I absolutely adore them and try to wear them as much as I can during transitional seasons.

Cropped Neon Stripes

Hi everyone, hope you had an awesome 4th of July and are having a great week! It's gotten really hot, really quickly here in the last week or so. There is no doubt that summer is here! Commuting to and from work everyday has become a battle with the humidity and once you get to the office, the a/c is turned on so high that I always need to wear another layer indoors. Dressing for multiple climate conditions can prove to be a constant challenge, so I moved a modest collection of my sweaters, blazers and jackets to the office and built up a small but flexible wardrobe at work :P Luckily, on weekends there's always time to throw on something fun and enjoy the sun!

Blushing Nudes

Hi everyone, hope you are having a great week! One more week and I'm off to Shanghai & Beijing for two weeks! Yiippeee....bring on the holidays :) Work has been so busy that thinking or planning for this holiday has been put on the back burner. Despite this, I am looking forward to a much needed holiday to unwind and spend some quality time with my family! Every spring I like to welcome the season with fresh colors, soft neutrals and delicious sorbet shades to ease myself into summer. This spring is no different. I absolutely adore the color and cut of this moto jacket, super fresh and modern.

Spring Gingham Trench

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! What a beautiful spring day! Looks like we are taking a small break from the April rain for some much needed sunshine. I absolutely adore days like this where the temperature is perfect to throw on a light trench, and who can say no to some gingham? :P I've been a little busy lately with work. Between starting a new job, welcoming a new season and planning the next getaway, life has been a little chaotic. I think a splash of blue might just bring some calm and peace to keep me focused.

Spring Leather

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Over the weekend I invited my beautiful friend Ange, also a long time blog supporter, to do an outfit shoot and she graciously accepted the invitation. This shoot location is between TriBeCa and the Financial District, and particularly close to our hearts. We completed many runs together on this route, caught up on the weekly gossip and shared our love for this beautiful city that we now call home. I thought her outfit was perfect for the upcoming spring season. The weather was gorgeous that day and there were so many runners out enjoying a good run in the sun.

Leather + Leopard

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Here's me enjoying that occasional warmer day in a bit of leather and leopard action :) Feeling inspired from watching the Winter Olympics, I decided to go with this fearless combo of strength and perseverance. I love a great power pairing, and a leather + leopard marriage is a winning team!

Winter Layers

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Battling with the Polar Vortex in NYC, I am bundled in layers and in my trusty faux fur vest. Even in this freezing cold, I got sick of wearing jeans and thought today is going to be a dress day! I can truly say that the best weapon against the cold is layering and Uniqlo's heattech. This stuff really works, and the best part is you don't need to look like a marshmellow when you walk out of the house. I remember jokingly saying to my friend (at the start of winter) that I wanted to try going without heattech this winter, but when the temperature dropped, it didn't take me a second to put on my heattech. You really have to work with the weather and not against it :P

Cropped

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! I'm going cropped today to survive this late summer heat wave. Hopefully soon we will finally have some beautiful fall weather!

Strappy Neon with High-Low Dress

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic Independence Day long weekend, and enjoyed taking some time off to relax and unwind. I went to see the Macy's fireworks and would highly recommend getting there early if you are keen to get a great spot, and don't fancy starring into the back of some tall guy's head. We didn't manage to leave the house early enough, so we were trapped in a sea of bodies, which at this time of the year, is really not a great idea. But, I was still happy just to be part of the action. I love a good show, and fireworks usually tops the chart! :)

High Contrast Bright Canary Yellow

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope your day is treating you well! I'm going back to basics today with a good dose of black and white colors. I really enjoy looking out for outfits in winter that come in textured materials, interesting patterns and asymmetrical cuts. These qualities give that added dimension and life to your clothing, making them not only fascinating to look at but also just that much more fun to wear.

The Modern Studded Denim

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a fabulous day! Despite plenty of sunshine, it's soooooo cold out there today. If you are in NYC...keep warm and bundle up!! =) I took these photos a few days ago when the weather was a lot milder. No doubt having just returned from a tropical resort island, I was already thinking about spring! Speaking of the new season, I have been on the hunt for a classic cut denim jacket for a while now, and my search ended when I discovered this little "stud".

Leather & Lace

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fantastic weekend so far! I'm so sorry that it has been a while since I last updated the blog, but it has been crazy moving to a new city and a new country. It's only been a couple of weeks since arriving in NYC, but much has happened in this short span of time! My heart goes out to those affected by Sandy, wishing you guys a speedy and safe recovery!

Wrapped Up with a Bow

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fantastic day and week so far! Today, I'm just letting the bow do all the talking =) Do not underestimate the power of a beautiful bow, when it is done right, it might be all you need. It makes a perfect decoration, a fantastic conversation starter and let's not forget...it is the foundation of a highly anticipated and brilliant gift =)
