December Flowers

Posted on December 23, 2013 by thefashionminx

It was 70 degrees in NYC today, and it’s only 3 days away from Christmas! I don’t ever remember it being this warm in the city this time of year. As strange as it may sound, I actually miss the December cold! But, it was nice to attend my best friend’s baby shower today without even having to wear a coat! The floral top made it feel even more like Spring. 😉 I guess we won’t have a white Christmas this year. (Well, never say never!) Details on everything are below.

XOXOXO

Indian Summer

Posted on December 21, 2012 by thefashionminx

The weather in NYC has been unseasonably warm, which is pleasant to walk around it, but scary at the same time for those of us worried about global warming. (like me) Nevertheless….it’s a great excuse to wear my favorite burgundy Balenciaga leather jacket. Similar HERE and HERE. Pants are Zara. I love the leopard print on them. Get similar looks HERE and HERE. I have been wearing my Pamela Love Tribal necklace almost every day since I got it.(See post HERE) It’s the perfect statement necklace, and it’s earthy and organic at the same time…..just my style. 😉 Check out Pamela Love’s other designs HERE.

P.S. Isn’t it strange how much it’s raining lately? During Winter? Shouldn’t it be snowing? Sigh….

What are you favorite looks this Winter?

The Fashion Minx and The Sequin Cinderella in NYC!!!

Posted on December 12, 2012 by thefashionminx

So excited to finally meet Nicola in person!!!

I was lucky enough to meet and work with the fabulous, and well known Irish blogger Nicola from The Sequin Cinderella! This was Nicola’s first trip to NYC, and she loved it! For our shoot, we chose Times Square, the heart of NYC as our location. We chose to wear skirts and dresses mixed with boots which give off a tough/feminine look- which is perfect for this city. We hit Sephora, walked around Times Square, and had fun with some police officers! Of course, we also talked shopping, finding deals in the city, and ways to protect yourself from the harsh NYC winter temps while still showcasing your style! Read on for details on on what we were wearing and our tips for chic winter style! xoxoxo

It was a very cold night, which called for a lot of layering! I am a huge fan of fur vests because you can layer them under, or above a coat or jacket! (That night I did both) I wore my blue feather vest from Topshop. I love the texture of it, and it’s super warm! There are tons of adorable fur vests out there, both real and faux. I also love THIS ONE, THIS ONE, and THIS ONE. Nicola wore a gorgeous lace dress from Zara with studded boots by Chiara Ferragni. I love the look of a feminine lace dress mixed with tough biker style boots. Similar dresses HERE, and HERE. Also, I love these studded boots by ASH. I went with a cobalt blue theme, wearing my blue Celine (similar bag HERE) , blue J Crew top, and my blue bubble necklace. Oh….and my cobalt blue YSL ARTY RING. (They were recently discontinued, so if you are lusting after one, get one now!!)

Autumn Afternoon in the Concrete Jungle

Hello, and happy Fall!! I had the opportunity to shoot with the amazing Katharine Andriotis again recently, and we decided to go to the Union Square farmers market. I don’t know about you, but the moment Fall arrives, all I can think about is pumpkins, hot apple cider, and the crisp Fall air! The Farmer’s market in Union Square was buzzing with energy. The fresh organic fruits and veggies were incredible, and I really love the spirit of the Autumn season. Orange is my favorite Fall color, so I was really happy to receive this beautiful clutch courtesy of Asos, and my amazing friend Meg at RS. This Levi’s denim jacket is perfect for this weather, and you can literally throw it over everything. And, I am still wearing my Rag & Bone Newbury boots everywhere! They are insanely comfortable! The outfit I wore is a perfect example of mixing high end items, with very low end items. (I think my skirt and top were $15 dollars from Forever 21! See links below for details!) I also love adding bright touches of color to a dark outfit, as I did here, with the neon turquoise belt, and bright orange clutch against dark navy and black. It’s a great way to wear bright colors in the Fall! My amazing boyfriend Chris came along for the shoot, and to pick some fresh veggies with me. 😉 How are you celebrating Fall?

Black and Burgundy

Here are some quick shots as I was running around the city today. 😉 Stopped by Barneys to see what was out for Fall, and also wanted to check out their new windows….THEY ARE GORGEOUS. I also met up with my friends Debbie and Sheree. Burgundy is a HUGE color this season, so I was happy to finally be able to wear my burgundy Balenciaga quilted jacket. (This was another huge investment buy.) When I saw the color I had to get it! I am actually seeing this color EVERYWHERE now. I will be doing a blog post soon on the best deals this season on bags, shoes, jackets and clothing in this deep rich color. Stay tuned for that! 😉 xoxo Julie
