Spring lace and brights

Posted on April 21, 2012 by thefashionminx

I am loving this warmer weather in NYC. Spring! My second favorite season after Fall. 😉

I am really into lace lately, but done in a new, exciting way. I am seeing tons of tops with lace inserts, jeans with lace detailing, and shirts with hints of lace. With the neon trend so big right now, I have also seen neon lace everywhere. You can really make that neon trend pop by wearing a bright see through neon lace top, with a neon bandeau or bralet under it in a different color. Hmm, I may try that for my next post.

For today, I decided to wear this awesome short sleeved crochet lace top from Forever 21. It’s super lightweight, and I love the design. This top would also be perfect to wear with just a bralet or bandeau underneath, as mentioned before, but it was a little chilly that day, so layered it with a lightweight tank top, also from Forever 21. My bright, chunky accessories offset the white lace. I like to sometimes wear an outfit in plain colors, and brighten it up with accessories. Of course, my Neon Cambridge Satchel is the ultimate showstopper. It brightens any outfit, and I get stopped on the street constantly while wearing it! Such a great investment, and so affordable! Lastly, my super comfortable beige and orange Sam Edelman wedge sandals that I bought were the highlight of my week! So chic and gorgeous! Purchase them here!

Shopping day in the city

Posted on March 24, 2012 by thefashionminx

I went window shopping in Manhattan today with my best friend Debbie. Again, it was a gorgeous March day, 80 degrees. I can’t believe I am wearing sandals in March! Right now is a great time to take advantage of tons of clearance sales, as shops are looking to get rid of their Winter items and get ready for Spring. We hit a ton of stores with just that in mind.I wore my Ash sandals, cool Old Navy blouse, and took out my Vintage Chanel flap. 😉

I fell in love with these Alice & Olivia Wedge sandals!

Best Sushi in Manhattan at Lilli & Loo!

Mango and Almond frozen yogurt was the end to a perfect day 😉

Layers, Belgian Waffles, and girl’s day out ;-)

Posted on February 2, 2012 by thefashionminx

Today was a gorgeous day in NYC! The temperature went up to 60 degrees, and despite the high winds, it was a welcome break from the extreme cold weather we have been getting. I decided to have a girls day out in the city with my best friend Debbie. We wanted to hit the Nanette Lepore sample sale (details on what I purchased in a later post), get Belgian Waffles, and enjoy the gorgeous weather. For those outside of NYC, there is an amazing Belgian Waffle truck in Chelsea. This truck is there 6 days a week, and serves up genuine Belgian Waffles, with unlimited toppings, (including a ground up cookie paste that is to die for!), fruit, ice cream, and melted Belgian chocolate. YUM!!! Of course, we had to have everything on our waffles! LOL

I decided to layer up, wearing my rabbit fur vest under my Kenneth Cole coat, so that I was still warm in the high winds, but I would be able to remove my coat if necessary and just wear the vest. My Acne Pistol boots are perfect for walking around the city for 8 hours, super comfortable!!! But the icing on the cake? My gorgeous Alexander Wang Rocco bag with rose gold hardware! Get it while you can! The rose gold hardware sells out right away! It’s so perfect because it goes with both gold and silver. Amazing bag!!

Today was a fun day!

Night out in the city

Posted on November 29, 2011 by thefashionminx

Join me for a gorgeous night in the city! 😉 My boyfriend and I went to a meeting tonight to discuss a possible partnership for my blog. I decided to snap some shots on the train heading to the city, and to also snap some in the gorgeous lobby of the hotel where our meeting was held. It was another beautiful day in NYC! 65 degrees at 7pm? I hope this amazing weather keeps up! I prefer leather jackets over down coats any day! Winter can wait!

I fell in love with this hotel lobby! That circular fish tank was amazing! And those fish were huge, and had teeth! LOL The decor was gorgeous. I will definitely be stopping by again, so beautiful!

As you can see, I can’t stop wearing my Balenciaga jacket. It’s so comfortable and I love the quilting! I hope the weather stays warm like this so I have more chances to sport it! What do you think? xoxoxo

Cold night in Times Square

The temperature in NYC is dropping. Perfect excuse to wear my new Mackage “Joey” puffy jacket. LOVE. It keeps me super warm, it’s comfortable, and I love the little peep holes for your thumbs. 😉 So glad I grabbed it on sale in Bloomingdales.

I also took out my new Celine luggage tote for the first time. What a great bag! It’s my first Celine, and I totally understand the craze over the line. The style is amazing, it fits everything, and the craftsmanship is to die for. Great investment piece.
