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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
