Cool Summer

Posted on June 28, 2015 by thefashionminx

The colors of the flowering trees this time of year are stunning!

(Pictured above: the incredible authentic Greek food at Taverna Kyclades in Astoria)

I have a love/hate relationship with Summer in NYC. On one hand, I love the blooming flowers, the longer sunny days, and dining outside in the evenings. But, NYC is also well known for it’s suffocating humidity. Thankfully, we have been experiencing a milder Summer so far, and some days have even been cool. On one of these cooler days, I met my best friend Debbie for lunch at Taverna Kyclades in Astoria. This Greek heaven usually has a line down the block, with people waiting for at least an hour on average to get in on busy nights. They don’t take reservations, and they don’t have to. It’s simply the best, most authentic Greek food in Astoria. They are also known for their extremely fresh fish, with the selection changing daily. If you’re in the Astoria, NYC area, definitely stop by!

I like cooler summer days. It gave me an excuse to wear my beige Theory coat. The color is perfect for Spring/Summer, and it’s just the perfect weight. Details on everything below!

Black and Gold

Posted on November 30, 2013 by thefashionminx

Happy Black Friday! Have you survived the shopping mayhem? It seems to get crazier every year. I am going to share my Black Friday scores with you in a special post tomorrow. 😉 As for today, I wore black and gold, which is one of my favorite color combos. I got this Michael Kors coat on sale at Macy’s. There are TONS of deals online now, so if there is anything you have been lusting after, now is the time to buy! The boots are Alexa Chung for Madewell, which were an Ebay score since they are sold out everywhere. The calf hair helps to keep the feet warm, which is welcome in the current freezing temps NYC is experiencing! Stay warm everyone! Details on everything I am wearing, and similar looks, are all below! Let me know what you think in the comments!

Dreaming of warmer days….My Miami Photos!!!!

Posted on March 11, 2013 by thefashionminx

I finally had a chance to gather together my photos from my recent trip to Miami. The weekend was incredible, and the occasian was my best friend Debbie’s bachlorette weekend. We went to South Beach, and the weather, food, and beach was amazing. With the tempeture being so insanely cold in NYC lately, these photos definitely keep me dreaming of warmer days! The thing I love about South Beach is that you can’t wear enough bright neon colors, metallics, or animal prints. “The bolder….the better” is always my motto while there. As you can see from the photos, my friends don’t shy away from color either. I hope you enjoy the photos!!! Try the Miami look with the links below!

Indian Summer

Posted on December 21, 2012 by thefashionminx

The weather in NYC has been unseasonably warm, which is pleasant to walk around it, but scary at the same time for those of us worried about global warming. (like me) Nevertheless….it’s a great excuse to wear my favorite burgundy Balenciaga leather jacket. Similar HERE and HERE. Pants are Zara. I love the leopard print on them. Get similar looks HERE and HERE. I have been wearing my Pamela Love Tribal necklace almost every day since I got it.(See post HERE) It’s the perfect statement necklace, and it’s earthy and organic at the same time…..just my style. 😉 Check out Pamela Love’s other designs HERE.

P.S. Isn’t it strange how much it’s raining lately? During Winter? Shouldn’t it be snowing? Sigh….

What are you favorite looks this Winter?

Autumn Afternoon in the Concrete Jungle

Posted on September 30, 2012 by thefashionminx

Photos: Katharine Andriotis Photography

Hello, and happy Fall!! I had the opportunity to shoot with the amazing Katharine Andriotis again recently, and we decided to go to the Union Square farmers market. I don’t know about you, but the moment Fall arrives, all I can think about is pumpkins, hot apple cider, and the crisp Fall air! The Farmer’s market in Union Square was buzzing with energy. The fresh organic fruits and veggies were incredible, and I really love the spirit of the Autumn season. Orange is my favorite Fall color, so I was really happy to receive this beautiful clutch courtesy of Asos, and my amazing friend Meg at RS. This Levi’s denim jacket is perfect for this weather, and you can literally throw it over everything. And, I am still wearing my Rag & Bone Newbury boots everywhere! They are insanely comfortable! The outfit I wore is a perfect example of mixing high end items, with very low end items. (I think my skirt and top were $15 dollars from Forever 21! See links below for details!) I also love adding bright touches of color to a dark outfit, as I did here, with the neon turquoise belt, and bright orange clutch against dark navy and black. It’s a great way to wear bright colors in the Fall! My amazing boyfriend Chris came along for the shoot, and to pick some fresh veggies with me. 😉 How are you celebrating Fall?

xoxo
