CLASSIC WOMAN - PINAFORES, BOWS & RUFFLES

Oh how I love the Summer! I never want to say goodbye to warm temperatures, tropical prints and frozen drinks but even when I cry into my cocktail glass, the seasons never listen to me!

We're now a month away from Fall and I'm trying to make peace (kinda, sorta) and simply embrace the transition because I really don't have many quarrels with Fall except it indicates #WinterIsComing and that's when my tantrums are amplified.

During the early days of Fall, I enjoy that you can get away with wearing some of your Summer pieces, especially pants and maxi dresses. Today I'm sharing a transitional look that can be worn on a cool Summer evening or early Fall day.

MEMORIAL DAY STYLE - WHITE, GOLD & LEOPARD

Hello darlings, I hope you're having a wonderful day! Last week we observed Memorial day in the US and chose to spend the holiday relaxing. Stef and I drove to Hoboken and had lunch & drinks near the water. The area was very quiet and exactly what we needed for a relaxing afternoon.

I finally wore this asymmetric white lacey off the shoulder dress I've had for a year now and loved it!

DANCING EMOJI

Hi everyone! If you live in the US, I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! If not, I still hope your weekend was filled with adventures. The weather has warmed up nicely in NYC and all I want to do is be outside. I attend a brunch even this weekend and decided to share a few snaps of my look.

DAISY CRAZE

By now you probably get that I kinda, sorta, really love Dolce & Gabbana and while preparing my Lemonade themed S tyle & The Bar Cart post I noticed DG's Daisy collection.The daisies reminded me of the 60's and gave me hope for a flower filled Spring/Summer. These little flowers are everywhere and I decided to do a roundup inspired by their pretty white petals and yellow centers.

LOVE IS STRONGER THAN PRIDE

I've had this post in draft since August of last year and have only used one of the images for my FashionBomb Daily feature. Today, I'm posting a flashback from last Summer and this one was inspired by Sade. I'm also giving some insight into why I chose this song to be the title of my post.

MANUS X MACHINA - AN EVENING AT THE MET

Two weeks ago, Fancyfied my dear friend and sister from another mister invited me to a private viewing of the Manus x Machina exhibition at The Met. The exhibition was spectacular and is a must see if you're in NYC. If you're unable to see it in person, have no fear! I'm sharing a few of the dresses on display.

A SUNDAY KIND OF VINTAGE VALENTINE

Valentine's Day is this Sunday and 'A Sunday Kind Of Love' has been stuck in my head all week long. I love Etta James' music and think this song is perfect for our upcoming day celebrating love. Etta's music spanned several genres including blues, soul, rock and roll, jazz and gospel and she had a way of making it her own.

See how Etta's music inspires my Vintage Valentine look.

BANANA LEAF LOVE

To say I LOVE banana leaf print would be an understatement. Check out my Instagram and you'll begin to understand. I'm a lover of prints and this beauty steals my heart every time. From home decor to fashion I'll take this print in every size and style.

See more of this look after the jump!

MISS MATCHY MATCHY

I love a good matching top and bottom just as much as I like mixing prints! This combination gives the illusion of a jumpsuit when belted. Check out this floral print top and short combo as I stroll through the streets of Brooklyn.
