You Win Some… You Lose Some {Off-the-Shoulder Top & Tassel Earrings}

Pink Off-the-Shoulder Top{ZARA Trench Coat (similar), H&M Off-the-Shoulder Top (similar here and here), Tassel Earrings (similar) and Fedora (old, just got this one for summer), TOMMY HILFIGER Ponte Pants,  PRADA Sunglasses, RALPH LAUREN Bucket Bag, BANANA REPUBLIC Flats (similar)}

Starting off the day in beautiful Niagara Falls and Upstate New York with the sun shining and the birds chirping = WINNING!
Dropping one of your favorite earrings somewhere on Cornell’s massive campus = LOSING!

In any case, we had a glorious time on the road recently traveling to one of my favorite places on earth – Niagara Falls! More on that soon, I promise. In the meantime, we snapped these pics on the way back home during our stopover in Ithaca, NY. Not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but I just love visiting historic college campuses. The Northeast has some of the most beautiful, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited all of the Ivies (Cornell was the last one I needed to check off my list). In addition to wonderful classic architecture, many of them also have interesting museums and galleries to explore. And if you’re lucky with your timing, you may even catch a play or musical production.

Ever put on an outfit and just feel… GOOD?

Well that’s exactly how I felt the day I wore this ensemble to work. The day was filled with client meetings in Midtown, and so I wanted to look polished but still have fun with my outfit. Enter my new red double-breasted blazer from Zara which is everything you need in life right now. Seriously, this thing is amazing. It’s tailored to perfection and makes me feel oh-so-chic! 

Also, if you’ve watched my fashion hacks video on how to instantly upgrade your wardrobe, you’ll notice that I’ve employed three of my style secrets in this ensemble to help elevate my look:

  1. Designer shades
  2. A Chanel brooch
  3. A killer pair of heels

Real talk…

I generally pride myself on being a grown-@$$ woman, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t completely hooked on Pretty Little Liars and more than a little bummed that the series is quickly coming to an end. As I’ve been shamelessly binge-watching the last season, I couldn’t help but notice Aria’s plethora of leather moto jackets in a dizzying array of colors and textures. Zara had a similar jacket for sale last year that I missed out on (although I manage to snag it’s baby blue counterpart on the clearance rack). So when the updated version popped up this year in my favorite color (PINK!), I couldn’t resist.

Next I’m thinking a floral version may be in order. Stay tuned…
