Meatpacking NYC

I have really been loving this brand SWF since I discovered them- they have some really cool, simple designs, including maxi dresses, structural crop tops, and some great jumpsuits. I especially love this turtleneck ribbed maxi dress, which is so versatile and can be worn in such a variety of ways! I styled it here with just a simple vintage denim jacket and some low peep-toed booties for a casual day wandering around Meatpacking, but I can definitely imagine dressing it up for a holiday party as well as layering it under a chunky  knit sweater and warm coat for the current 30 degree weather we have now.

Olive

One of my favorite colors to wear is olive green. Some people can't stand the color, but I find it to be subtly beautiful. I think it is such a great neutral, and especially ideal for Fall. This drapey olive dress by S.W.F. Boutique is so perfect as we transition from summer to fall. It's length offers slight warmth, and the style looks amazing when paired with a fringey suede Ralph Lauren belt and western-style hat (although I generally think most things pair well with a western-style hat ;) ). I also look forward to wearing it even into winter, perhaps with some thigh high boots and a cozy over-sized coat to keep warm. I highly recommend checking out S.W.F. for their great selection of simple styles of dresses, tops, and pants with cool necklines and silhouettes that are so easily styled with everything.

Refinery29 x TJ Maxx

A few months ago Refinery29 contacted us to see if I wanted to come into their NYC office and use pieces supplied by TJ Maxx to help style this shoot based on different scenarios. Refinery29 stylist Willow Lindley and I had so much fun finding some great hidden gems at their stores, including pieces by Mother Denim, Halston, Marc Jacobs, and Torn by Ronny Kobo.

Now they are having a contest to win a $2,500 shopping spree to TJ Maxx- go enter!

Powder Blue

One of my favorite things right now is anything off-the-shoulder. In this case, it makes this otherwise classic blue button down a little more dressed up and unexpected. I kept things casual with faded black denim and sandals, and my trusty little Phillip Lim pouch.

Bullwhip

 

  

 

I was so excited about the arrival of my Stone Cold Fox sale score- the bullwhip romper. I have worn it multiple times since receiving it in the mail, and finally was able to shoot this look in it on my way to wine night with the girls last weekend. It is such a perfect summer staple, and so easy to just throw on and go! I can dress it up or down, for night or day, and even plan on wearing it well into fall with jackets, socks, and booties.

Graphic Floral

This look is one I shot on the streets of SoHo for Cream Style App, wearing clothes from the designers they carry. Cream is an app that makes shopping super easy- we post street style photos in the clothing, and the user can purchase the item they like directly from the app. Everyone should check it out!
