Who says holiday style can’t be sleek and sexy? I’m loving all black looks with gold accents for the holidays. This look is totally covered (meaning you won’t freeze) but pretty damn sexy at the same time. Perfect for those holiday events where you really want to turn some heads.

Earlier this fall, I scored a beautiful (and surprisingly comfortable) grey tulle skirt, and I’ve been thinking about how to style it ever since. This outfit is now high on my list to wear on Thanksgiving. A flannel shirt is a super cozy and seasonally appropriate look, and it’s incredibly fun when paired with a feminine skirt. And I’m pulling the outfit together by sticking with a monochromatic color palette in my favorite color. (I can’t get enough grey!)

The holidays are a time of year where you have an excuse to get a little more dressed up than you might normally do. Between holiday parties, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve, there’s plenty of chances to add a little extra shimmer to your wardrobe. But as the temps start to drop, if you’re anything like me, you might also find yourself craving cozy sweaters and warm boots to combat the cold.
This outfit lets you indulge both. Glimmer, sparkles, and metallics. Check. A warm and cozy sweater dress. Check. Festive and cozy at the same time. What more could you ask for in a holiday outfit?

Who says florals have to be over the top girly? By mixing in a delicate floral midi skirt with a bold color and powerful accessories (like a tough as nails, but still lovely steel statement necklace), this outfit lets everyone know you’re in charge!

November can be a funny month, weather-wise. Temps can be downright chilly, but if you’re lucky, there’s not yet snow on the ground. (My apologies to those of you in places where there is already snow on the ground. I feel your pain.) This outfit gives you one last opportunity to work the classic heels and boyfriend jeans combo before you have to swap those shoes out for something more practical. (Like snow boots.)
It’s a chic way to do black Friday (especially if your idea of black Friday is more about brunch with the girls then waiting in line at Target) or a casual (but not sloppy) Thanksgiving.

Ever since I got back from my amazing trip to India, I’ve been thinking about how to incorporate my experience into my everyday life. And that’s especially true when it comes to my wardrobe. I want to bring some of the elements I loved about India dress and ornamentation into my style, without looking like a crazy cliche. (Which is certainly a challenge when you come back from a trip where the culture is very different than home.)
This outfit pulls in two elements I love about Indian adornment – fun patterns (thanks to this incredible elephant skirt from J.Crew) and stacks of bangles (courtesy of me, and I’m proud to say I wore these same bangles all around India). I also love how mixing in menswear elements (a boxy blazer and loafers) tones down the skirt and makes this look work for day. And of course, if it’s cold or your office requires it, feel free to mix in a great pair of tights. (Bonus points if they aren’t black!)

I’m not sure if it’s the influence of the Apple Watch, the changing of the seasons, or just too much time on Pinterest, but lately I’ve been craving really classic, almost timeless style. I’m also a little obsessed with bracelets right now, both wearing them and designing them. (Again, blame the Apple Watch, since I’ve been thinking about companion jewelry, and the changing of the seasons, since wearing scarves means less focus on necklaces and more on other jewelry.) This outfit fits the bill on both counts and I love how this white button down is more blousy than structured. (Perfect for someone like me, who doesn’t always look that great in a traditional button down shirt.)

As I was putting this outfit together, it started to remind me of Alexander Calder. The bold shapes in the skirt. The tightly coiled spiral in the clutch. And of course, my jewelry, which is definitely inspired by Calder’s own wire jewelry. This outfit would be perfect for an art opening, a dinner party, or just a regular Thursday where you want to feel a little fancy.

My quest to style my new boots continues, and the result here is a work look that shows who’s in charge. Of course, if high heeled ankle boots aren’t to your style (or comfort level), you could swap them out for a great pair of black d’orsay flats or even some kitten heels and this would still be a pretty fantastic work look.

Ever since I picked up these killer Altuzarra for Target boots, I’ve been trying to think about how to incorporate them into my everyday style. Because I hate the idea of having to wait for a special occasion to wear shoes this amazing.
For me, incorporating them into my everyday style means pairing them with jeans, a tank, and a cardigan, which is pretty much my go-to uniform once the temps start dropping. And I love how mixing in one kind of out there accessory completely elevates what would otherwise be a pretty basic look.
