Here we are in Spring and, for us New Yorkers, it still feels like Winter. Actually it feels colder than Winter because its suppose to be spring. Nevertheless Spring weather should be here any day now and hopefully when it arrives, it will be here to stay. So lets make sure our wardrobe is prepared. Each season I update my wardrobe with a few current trends. When I think Spring clothes, I think layers; Jackets, light sweaters, jeans, and shoes with no socks. This year denim is so hot and with so many different hems, widths and washes, that its an easy way to update your look for Spring. The best part is that since there is so much to choose from, you can choose the style that best fits your body. I love all the new denim trends, the wide leg boot cut, the flare, the crop, and the jagged short hem. I also love denim because you can wear it so often. As a petite 5’4 girl, I’ll stick with a skinny or straight leg with a raw hem. Go check out the different denims and see how with a few new pairs of jeans can update your look for Spring!

Accessorizing with Jewelry is always a fun way to update any outfit. Of course, real diamonds and gold are amazing, but “faux” jewelry is an inexpensive way to take an outfit from just okay to fabulous! Fun jewelry is something I suggest to all my clients. Adding a necklace or bracelet can change a look completely. The more jewelry you have to work with, the more you can change up your look. Literally wearing a white t-shirt and jeans with a lace choker is one look and then wearing the same outfit with a great pair of hanging earrings is a completely different one. Another thing I love about jewelry is that it is such a display of personal style and lets your personality and/or mood shine through.
This fall I purchased Fallon Monarch Leather Wrap Choker. 
When I want an edgier look I put this on and love the way it transforms my outfit! Some of my favorite stores to shop in for faux jewelry are Jennifer Miller, Intermix and Bauble Bar. They have a mix of high and low priced pieces, are very good quality and always have the latest trends. And you must check out a new favorite of mine, Dripping In Gems , for one-of-a kind handmade pieces that are so much fun to wear! So if your anything like me, and by this time of the year totally over your winter wardrobe, go shopping for some faux jewelry for a little outfit pick me up!
Happy Shopping

I was born a shopper. Its just something that comes naturally to me and I love. Sometimes clients hire me to shop for them because they find shopping stressful, but for me its the complete opposite. Im in a zone when I shop. Nothing else in the world matters because its my zen. When I am shopping all the time and finding all these amazing pieces, its so tempting to just always be purchasing too, but I would need another apartment in Manhattan if I was shopping that much. So even though I love everything I post there are a few items that really stand out as a “must have.” That being said, I thought it would be fun to share what I’m mixing in and buying each week. You don’t need to buy a lot, its about shopping smart and buying things that work with things you already have.
Last year I purchased a pair of over the knee charcoal gray suede boots. I am so happy I didn’t end up spending money on them and went for the Steve Madden copies, for a fraction of the price, because I only wore them maybe three times. I love them, but when I would try them on the gray just wasn’t working with my outfits.
So this week when I saw these Sam Edelman over the knee black suede boots, that look identical to the $800 designer ones, I couldn’t resist. Looking forward to putting these boots and sharing some great outfit ideas.
