OUT THE DOOR IN 5 MINUTES

Some days I have the luxury of thinking up an awesome outfit, perfectly curling my hair & sitting down to have breakfast. Other mornings I wake up late & need to be out the door ASAP. The latter seems to be happening more often lately - I blame it on the cold weather making it impossible get out of bed in the morning. Luckily, I've come up with a few fail proof tips to help myself get out the door in 5 minutes (10 at most...).

A MODERN CLASSIC HOLIDAY & GIFTS UNDER $100

Today's post is all about gifts under $100. When you have a ton of people to shop for around the holidays, budgeting is super important. For me, I like to treat people to something nice but don't want to spend a fortune. For many of the people on my list, under $100 is the sweet spot. Since first shopping at Talbots this summer, they have become a regular on my list of sites to shop. I can always count on Talbots to have great pieces for the season that are modern and sophisticated.

WHAT TO WEAR TO A SHOWER

When the weather warms up, wedding season isn't the only thing that gets kicked into high gear. Engagement parties, bridal showers and baby showers are also often planned around this time to take advantage of the nice weather. While these events are often not as dressy as a wedding, they are still great excuses to put on your favorite dress & a great pair of heels.

BLACK, WHITE & YELLOW

I talked recently about how fabulous Tobi dresses are and today I'm here to prove it. I am in love with the pattern and fit of this pop over dress from Tobi. It is perfect for spring & versatile for so many different occasions - I wore this outfit to work & then added a pair of heels & a leather jacket for a dinner date.

STYLING SOCKS WITH HEELS

I remember circa 2003 when I got my first Juicy sweatsuit & my first pair of Birkenstock's for Christmas. I wore both on my first day back to school and thought I was the coolest thing ever. While leisurewear & Birkenstock's are both in style again, let me paint a picture of my look for you....a white terrycloth sweatshirt & pants with JUICY stamped across the back & bottom accessorized with my Birkenstock's...and socks! I cringe just thinking about that outfit, but the worst part for me was definitely the white athletic socks with my sandals.

Nowadays, adding socks to a pair of pumps or sandals can actually be pretty fun & quirky but it has to be done the right way. I've noticed socks and heels continue to be a huge trend in street style & on the runways and challenged myself to try it out. I opted for a very thin black sock with my bright red pumps.

WHOWHATWEAR X TARGET

Can we talk about what fabulous collaborations Target has? It's practically impossible to walk into Target and not walk out with something never knew you needed - especially when a great collab is going on. Recently, Target launched their latest clothing collaboration with WhoWhatWear - a line full of classics with a twist - and I am totally obsessed.

SWEATER WEATHER

I have been wearing this sweater non stop. I loved off the shoulder styles this past spring & summer (see looks here & here) and was sad to put away my OTS pieces as fall arrived. This sweater is perfect because it allows me to keep the cold shoulder trend going in a much warmer way. This sweater is a classic and cozy, but the cut out shoulders add a fun, modern touch to this piece - a must have for me for this season!

POWER COUPLE

There are seriously so many great matching sets out there in the world right now. I almost scared a girl half to death last week, because I just HAD to stop her on the street and ask her where her sweater/culotte set was from. It was from Zara, but it was old :(

Good news though: the matching set that I'm wearing today is from Banana Republic and is NOT old! In fact, you can order it right this moment if you want :)

GRAPHIC TEES

I am such a huge fan of the perfect graphic tee. Sometimes I want to make a huge statement and other times, I just want to add a little interest to a basic outfit. I think everyone should have at least one great graphic tee, but in reality, once you start buying them, I don't think you'll be able to stop. Good thing, because there are so many screen prints, designs & sayings these days and so many ways to wear t-shirts. Read on for 3 of my favorite ways to style graphic t-shirts...

CROP TOPS & CULOTTES

I had the absolute pleasure of taking part in some NYFW events this week (& have some more coming up this weekend & next week, so stay tuned!) It is such a blast to be able to attend runway shows, connect with brands and meet some of the bloggers that I've formed relationships with virtually. I never in a million years thought I would be able to say I have blogger friends from around the country or that I've attended runway shows for designers, but now I can. I even got to bring my fashionista, partner in crime, sister along with me to an event this week :)

STRIPES + BIRKS

Following Labor Day usually means the official start to fall fashion, but it is still SO hot in New York that I can't imagine wearing boots or sweaters just yet. A long sleeve, striped dress paired with my Birkenstock sandals are perfect for transitioning weather.

I love the classic pattern of stripes all year round, so this week, we want to see how you style stripes in the Start The Week Stylish link up!

I always triple check my outfit in the mirror when I'm wearing my Birkenstocks since they have the ability to go from street style cool to 70's hippie very quickly. Since owning them, I have figured out 3 foolproof ways to wear Birkenstocks and always look instantly cool:

Monochrome- My Birkenstocks are black leather, so keeping the entire look black makes the look sleek and downtown. I love the white leather pair too and think they would look awesome paired with an all white look (YES, I am encouraging white after Labor Day!) Plus, recently I am seeing Birkenstocks in colors like red and navy, which would look super cool paired with monochromatic shades.

Bohemian - Paired with a maxi dress and a felt hat, Birkenstocks add a perfectly boho touch to your look. Just make sure to keep the peace signs and tie dye to a minimum so your look is modern, not dated.

Patterns - Like I am today, a simple pattern like a striped dress or leopard top can take these casual sandals up a notch. I like to add some color with a bright bag or statement jewelry to keep the look trendy.

How would you style a pair of Birkenstocks?
