{ Milkshop Favorites: Fall Outerwear }

So I can't be that crazy because I promise the leaves already started to change color on a few tress in our yard, and i may have purchased a pumpkin spice candle for our house and I may have started looking for that pumpkin creamer for my coffee but hey i am still loving this awesome summer we've had here on the East Coast. That still doesn't mean that I am not thinking about Fall :) And one of my favorite things about Fall is being able to wear jackets and coats!!!!! Check out the ones below... Zara & Topshop are on fire right now, make sure not to miss checking them out!!!

{ How to Jazz up a Plain Tee with a Statement Necklace }

Adding a statement necklace to a plain tee is the easiest way to add personality to an outfit. The key is to find necklaces that can we worn with many different items. For example, I always tend to add turquoise to everything :) so my turquoise beaded necklace shown below gets thrown onto white, black, red & yellow tops. Pick a favorite color below, throw it on and go!

{ Transitoning into Spring Outfit }

This green coat caught my eye today. It is still really cold out here in NY so you would need to add one more layer under the coat like the cardigan below, but I am in need of wearing some bright color to warm me up. This look is pregnancy friendly too! The jeans are maternity and the tank is long to cover up a growing belly :) Plus the plaid keeps you still looking in season. Stay warm and happy Saturday!

5 Things Everyone Can Wear

One of the most popular services I provide is closet styling. It is my favorite service because I love reinventing my client's wardrobes.

Many women think that they have nothing to wear when they open up their closet's but the truth is that most of the time they feel this way because they end up wearing the same pieces the same way and therefore only get 1 look instead of 3 or 4. My job is to make multiple outfits from the items they already have in their wardrobe. It is always surprising to my clients how they actually have many fashionable and up-to-date pieces.

If I see that they are missing some key items that they could use in their wardrobe, I put together a "Wishlist" of items to update their look to see them through the season.

The finds below are items that I normally put on the Wishlist if they don't have them already. Everyone can wear them! They are all universally flattering and will keep you in style for season after season.
