Triangl in the Sun

With snowstorm Juno headed directly for NE, why not post up a few photos from last weekend's trip to Orlando. UGH. I was lucky enough to escape the NE for a bit and bust out a few warm-weather favorites. Generally, I'm not one to flaunt a full-on bikini but this PilyQ kimono had me feeling a little ballsy.

There's something to be said about an amazing cover-up that makes you want to bare it all. Well, almost. But, this PilyQ kimono certainly comes close to doing the trick. All that fringe and a cut that drapes the body, it had me wishing for a few extra days in sunny Orlando.

Now here's the story on the Miami Mint bikini from Triangl. It's such an awesome color and brand but I've been waiting since August to flaunt it on the blog. Reason being I didn't feel completely comfortable wearing such little material on the interwebs. 

After a few months of sweating it out with Classpass, I finally felt fit and ready - so here it is. I know, I know, it's not the entire bikini but it's a start :). For those of you curious on the sizing, definitely order up. I'm normally a small (and pretty flat-chested lol) but still had to order up - the neoprene material doesn't stretch. If you have a little bit more junk in the trunk consider ordering up two sizes.

If you're curious as to which classes on Classpass I've been taking, stay tuned for tomorrow's post.

NYFW | What to Wear

When MAJOR models agency is in your building, you kind of get the hint as to when NYFW is upon us. AND, my friends - it is upon us. There is nothing we can do to stall it, but we can prepare for it. With a few challenges (full-time job, uncooperative weather, and subways as transportation) thrown in of course, here's what I'll be wearing for NYFW.

This kick-ass printed dress inspired by Women We Love in New York is what I'll be wearing. Curious to see who Lafayette 148 chose, read all about that here.

When one enters the tents, let alone the sidewalk where all the hustle and bustle is happening, you want to feel and look confident, strong, and on point. Wearing this dress makes all that happen for me and more which is why I'm excited to rock it during Fashion Month. 

Coat: Planet London  Dress: borrowed via Lafayette 148 (up to size 18)  Over the Knee Boots: Zara (similar style)  Necklace: c/o Capwell+Co  Earrings: c/o Capwell+Co  Purse: Rebecca Minkoff  Foundation: Ready Set Gorgeous by Covergirl  Lipstick: Audrey by NARS

As for the challenges, I got it all covered. This dress would crush it at the tents as it would at an office presentation. The chunky heels on my boots make slugging from the East to the West side and then back again, bearable (#subwaylife). And saying no to exposed knees, toes, and midriffs (+ a warm coat) will keep me warm compared to those baiting the street style photographers. 

So, what do you think - would you say I'm ready for tents?

Off Duty | Work Style

Good morning friends! I'm finally back from a much needed getaway and family fun with my pint-sized niece. Things I learned while away: 5 year olds cannot handle Space Mountain, Orlando gets insanely chilly at night, and I need to plan more getaways with my sister (we had so much fun together).

Heading back to the office (and oh-so refreshed) I figured what better time than now to bring out the big guns, i.e. this navy blazer.

It's true what they say about blazers being an essential closet power-player. They can change the feel of any outfit and are a great piece to wear on important meetings. It does take time to find the one, but when you do make sure you get it tailored - a fitted blazer is a signal that this lady is ready to WORK and MAKE MOVES up any career ladder.

Blazer: Theory (affordable version)  Shirt: J. Crew  Jeans: Vigoss  Necklace: c/o Nashelle  Earrings: The Sak  Boots: Wanted (similar style)  Purse: c/o Ora Delphine  Foundation: Ready Set Gorgeous by Covergirl

This week is jam-packed with a few fashion affairs and date-nights with the S.O. so had to keep the look fashion-forward but office-friendly (aka off-duty while on duty). In order to do this I skipped the slacks and went straight for dark denim + a white bucket meant to grab anyone's attention. Accessories were minimal and kept to this hand-made piece from Nashelle and The Sak hoops (love my hoops). I find that keeping it all simple can make any look, effortless - don't cha think?

Like a spaz, I completely forgot to add on my favorite shade of red, but I do recommend Audrey from NARS Audacious line. 

P.s. Doing a capsule wardrobe for 2015? Consider adding these great and versatile pieces (blazer, white shirt, dark denim) to your wardrobe.
