Devine Yellow
I have an immense love for travelling and experiencing new things. I visited the beautiful wine region of Spain for the first time and am now counting the days until I return. These photos were taken at Bodegas Portia, which was a visually stunning winery in Ribera del Duero,
When travelling, comfort is key. These Sam Edelman boots were not only comfortable but warm and stylish while still giving a little bit of height. I highly recommend them! This dress I picked up from a local designer in one of my trips to Istanbul. I try to pick up unique pieces during my travels.

Royal Comfort
Wandering around the Royal Palace in Madrid, I wanted to be super comfortable to view all the beautiful rooms and grounds of the palace. I threw on my favorite over-the-knee boots with this great light jacket from Bendita Seas. I love the detail on the front pocket of the jacket. For travelling, I like to use this classic Marimekko bag that fits everything and is available in different colors.

Take A Bow
For me there is no such thing as having too many bows!! I couldn't resist the combination of my favorite color and bow black embroidery on this skirt. It is perfect for holiday office luncheons when paired with a turtleneck or a blouse. Let the festivities begin!

Tulle Time
The time for festive dressing has begun! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the holiday party invites are coming in. You can pair a tulle skirt with almost anything- turtlenecks, white blouse or cropped sweater- and be party ready. I adore these red velvet shoes that will be a staple during the holiday season and beyond.

Work It
On today's post, I wanted to show a look that can be worn to work but still has details that make the outfit special. I love the teal color and front buttons of this Karen Millen skirt. The black bow attached to this black sheer blouse from Alice and Olivia gives it a flirty touch. Both pieces can also be worn more casually- like pairing a simple turtleneck with the skirt or jeans with the top.

Urban Jet Setter
These boots are definitely made for the best way to see NYC- walking! Paired with this casual mini dress by Bendita Seas, I trekked through the West Side wearing one of the most versatile bags I have owned. It's a backpack, a crossbody or a tote and comes in a variety of colors every season. Made for the urban jet setter.

The Heart of the Park
I have been loving these gorgeous fall days we have been having in New York City. I was able to take a break from it all and hang in one of the loveliest parts of Central Park- Bethesda Terrace. I love this ruffle tiered dress for its colorful and pretty print. The butterflies and flowers on the dress felt just right for relaxing in the heart of Park.

The Art of Dressing
This unique dress by Colombian designer Amelia Toro demonstrates the beautiful art expression of the Kuna Indian culture, which are called "molas." The incredible amount of detail and color in this dress makes one feel like a walking work of art. It is really amazing when designers are able to apply traditions and culture to fashion without compromising style.

An Autumn Afternoon
Swing into Fall
After a few days of summer-like weather, we are back into fall. A cape is just the right amount of coverage for cooler days. The bow on this one from Kate Spade raises the cuteness factor. This cape is from last season, but I also love this plaid one. I paired my cape with most comfortable yet stylish over the knee boots. I plan on wearing these all season long- just warning you now as you might be seeing a lot of them on the blog.

TriBeCa Stroll
Walking through TriBeCa on the perfect fall day in a dress by my absolute favorite Colombian brand Bendita Seas. I love the retro but modern feel of the brand. They just recently launched their online shop. Right now it's delivery within Colombia only, but hope that they will soon deliver internationally.

Ruffles & Bows- Oh My!
This dress has all of my favorites- ruffles, bows and flowers. And to top it off- it's affordable too! A great fall dress paired with booties to take a walk through the park before heading out to dinner.

Grand Central Glamour
Grand Central Terminal is one of the most beautiful landmarks of New York City. I never get tired of passing through and getting a glimpse at New York's distinguished past. In this flared green striped skirt, I tried bringing a bit of retro glamour back. I paired it with this contrasting gold polka dot shirt that will also work well for holiday events.

Never Outgrow Bubbles
Any day is a good to celebrate life with bubbles! It's so important to nurture the child in every soul- no matter the age. Strolling in Greenwich Village with balloons and fabulously comfortable Ripley Rader wide leg pants and top. Proof that balloons aren't just for parties.

Fall Romance
SoHo with a Kiss
Spent a beautiful weekend in NYC taking a stroll in SoHo in this relaxed kiss print dress. I paired the dress with with these shoes from Kate Spade that are both pretty and comfortable. They have just the right amount of sparkle. They can be worn with everything and will be a staple for the holiday season.

City Shades
Yes, another Peter Pan collar! This is one of my favorite outfits of all time. The collar and cuffs are detachable, which make the sweater very versatile. The glasses print on the skirt is subtle from a distance but up close is a different story. This outfit eases into colder weather seamlessly with black tights and boots.

Downtown in Mod
In case you haven't heard, Lower Manhattan is back! So many new restaurants and shops to discover. Exploring the Oculus and the Westfield World Trade Center in a mod style dress from Marmalade-Shop. I absolutely adore this mod look- the Peter Pan collar and the target symbol that doubles as a pocket are details that have me obsessed.

Mola Vibes
A casual look for a weekend of camping, hiking and wine tasting in the Finger Lakes. You may have noticed by now that I am a huge fan of prints. Mola is a traditional textile that is made by women of the Kuna indigenous communities of Panama and Colombia. Mola Sasa makes the most amazing hand crafted clutches using Mola sewn by artisan women. Allowing the clutch to stand out on its own, I paired it with this denim A-line skirt that will transition perfectly into fall. This skirt can easily be dressed up with heels, or worn more casually with flats.
