Just the Essentials

I recently went through a massive closet purge, and am trying to focus on only keeping fewer, better things, and just the essentials, which for me includes a lot of black, white, simple cuts and quality fabrics. That is not to say I'm giving up on all my frivolous heels, I can't. :) But when it comes to bags, one key piece for me is the Cuyana Classic Leather Tote. Super soft and roomy enough to throw all your things for the day in it. Also hi, girl-on-a-budget, it's beautiful Italian leather that looks way more expensive than it is.

Bombers and Boots

Bomber jackets have quickly become a spring style necessity.
Make a sporty topper more polished by combining with classically chic pieces.

Trench Connection

An elegant, flowy trench is a must during transitional months. Throw it on over a slouchy tee, leather leggings and sleek pumps, or destroyed denim and kicks. It adds just the right amount of flair, and warmth, to your look. I like to tie the belt at the back of the coat for an effortless drape, or simply knot the belt in front for a more tailored silhouette.

Black and Gold

My signature colors, forever.

Guipure Lace

By now you've surely seen all the photos of Self-Portrait cutout dresses that have taken over street style.
Goes to show that guipure lace is definitely having a moment.
