Especially for those of you in the north east where the temps are near freezing! But you have something to look forward to...the newest trend - the craze over ankle straps. I certainly can't get enough...dying to break out my fave <a href="http://mystylishloveaffair.blogspot.com/2012/06/not-so-basic-sandal.html">Zara basic sandals</a> that I rocked last summer and look forward to rocking again! Here are a few of my favorites for Spring:<br />

I'm completely obsessed with the Tibi Pair! I was lucky enough to have my mom snatch up the Prabal Gurung for Target beauties while I'm in Bermy:) Love the gold heel on the Zara pair. The Steve Madden's have a very minimalist look which I like...they come in a few fun colors and I definitely have my eye on the black and gold strap pair. Which are your favorites?<br />

My fast paced, high strung life will now be filled with calm, laid back days...something I'll have to get used to. Also my close knit family will no longer be over every weekend and my girls nights will be a lot harder to plan than usual. However, this will make the time I spend with them more about quality and not quantity. However superficial this may sound - the hardest thing to get used to is the fact that the fashion capital of the world will no longer be at my finger tips:( My walks across town from the east to the west side after work will no longer be spent window shopping on Fifth Avenue and filled with impulse purchases. I'll be doing a whole lot more online shopping and making trips dedicated to stocking up on new clothes. So...I will no longer be blogging from the city that never sleeps, but from the beautiful island of Bermuda. Can't wait to get back to what I love most...blogging, fashion and style!

Leather cap sleeves and an exposed gold back zipper bring the perfect amount
of edginess to this classic little black dress. <span style="font-size: x-small;"></span>I don't wear dresses
often. I'm more of a jeans and heels kinda girl, but every once in

had to have it :) My <a href="http://www.mystylishloveaffair.blogspot.com/2012/06/magazine-clutch.html">Kate Spade magazine clutch</a> and my
favorite red pumps (love the gold stiletto heel!) added the perfect details
for an edgy, sexy, fun, date night outfit.

Love! Love! Love this leather dress! A whole new take on the little black dress - sexier and edgier - love it! I have been drooling over the first one for quite some time but it's way out of my price range at $3,390...so I decided to do some hunting for a look for less and found the 2nd for $750 and the 3rd for $290.

All of the items above are on my wish list for fall except for the jeans which I've already purchased. They are a steal at $35.90...so much so that I also got them in green! I'm loving the style and side zip on the dress - I need this in my life asap! If you want to knock out 2 'trends' (oxblood and leather) with 1 stone, go for the skirt...it's super chic! The peplum top is also super cute and can be worn with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans and at only $36 - why not?!?!?My Stylish Love Affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13929320551960513349noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643473795122785115.post-11499250721708660422012-09-25T22:11:00.001-04:002012-09-25T22:16:19.454-04:00Pumped Up Kicks<div id="yiv1288965880yui_3_2_0_22_13481539466393515">

<span id="yiv1288965880yui_3_2_0_22_134815394663960">Love! Love! Love this look! The leather sleeves and the stylish kicks - hot! I've been debating whether or not to jump on the wedge sneaker bandwagon. When I first discovered them a few months ago, I kinda had a love/hate relationship with them. They were the Isabel Marant 'perkins'. I loved
the idea of a hidden wedge in the sneaker but disliked the bulkiness and with a $700 price tag I wasn't too pleased either. Then I
spotted the 'boston' (featured on the left)...which isn't as bulky to me as
the others, but the price remains the same...bummer. Luckily, I found this Zara version (which need to come back in stock asap!)...they resemble the perkins a little in color and
height, but are a little sleeker and more my style. What do you think?
If you're loving this look as much as I am, you can get the look for much less at Zara (shown on the right) with this <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-W2012/269189/899106">top</a> and these <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-W2012/269191/870598/STUDDED%20SNEAKER">sneakers</a> and if you're willing to splurge you can get the top and sneaker from the 1st look <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/320683">here</a> and <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/314588">here</a>.</span><span id="yiv1288965880yui_3_2_0_22_134815394663960"><var id="yiv1288965880yui-ie-cursor"></var><var id="yiv1288965880yui-ie-cursor"></var></span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">I wore my new peplum top and printed pants for Fashion's Night Out in New York City last night. I was shocked that I didn't see more fashionistas in these bad boys...let me explain...My little sister is off to college this year (so proud of her!) so we decided to do some back to school clothes shopping for her. Our first stop was H&M. Of course, I couldn't help but pick up a few things for myself and off her and I went into the fitting room...she grabbed the same pants in red and I, the printed version. We each came out to get the other's approval and we gave each other the okay and I said 'you know, I shouldn't be shopping!' Imagine my dumbfounded expression when my sister excitedly screamed 'they're only $12.95!' What!?!?!? The amount of money I spend on work pants (usually from Banana) and jeans (which range from Gap/Zara to JBrand/Seven/DL1961) is astronomical compared to this! I still can't believe it...I ran out of there before they discovered that $12.95 is just way too good of a deal. </span><br />

I have been a fan of army green, cargo, and pretty much anything military style for as long as I can remember and it's definitely popular for fall. So this trend is right up my alley! You can get anything from shoes to jackets in this print now. I decided to go with a pair of jeans with studded detail. I plan to rock these with black patent pumps, a heather gray tank/t-shirt and a black blazer or I may even switch it up and rock them with my gray suede pumps and a black tee...decisions, decisions!My Stylish Love Affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13929320551960513349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643473795122785115.post-49375456233109636522012-08-21T22:47:00.000-04:002012-08-21T22:49:16.413-04:00Studded<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I'm not usually a fan of a lot of embellishment, but I've been drooling over these studded items!</span><br />

--></style>A leather peplum top is an absolute must have for fall...you can easily
pair it with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans and instantly have a sexy,
edgy, girly look. <br />
And
this jacket!!!!!!! I have had my leather bomber jacket for many years
now and still absolutely love it, but I mostly wear it with jeans or
pants. Although I have been tempted many times to rock it with skirts
and dresses, it just never went
well, but I have finally discovered the perfect leather jacket. The
leather and peplum style have just enough edge to be worn casually with jeans and sneakers/boots, but also enough femininity to be worn with a cocktail dress.<span id="yiv1203657739yui_3_2_0_19_1344980367741113" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span>My Stylish Love Affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13929320551960513349noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643473795122785115.post-71906283481784384212012-08-18T10:52:00.000-04:002012-08-18T10:50:52.723-04:00Dust 'It' Off and Try Again<style>

I remember being super excited about this skirt when I
purchased it...fast forward a year and it was hanging in my closet with
the tags still on it. The outfit I had in mind when I purchased it just
didn't work out so well. I originally thought I’d wear it with a pair of
pumps and dress it up, but the material of the skirt just didn't go with the
look so I decided I’d have to opt for a more casual ensemble so when I
spotted this top in Zara a few weeks ago, I knew it would be
perfect! It wasn't just a plain cotton tank, it had detail that I
knew the skirt needed so it wouldn't look so boring. My wedges and orange
clutch were the perfect additions...this is now one of my favorite
outfits! Lesson here - if you love an item and your original outfit idea
doesn't pan out, give it another chance, you may end up loving it even more :)</div>

I am a fan of skirts and dresses when dressing up, but when I know there will be dancing involved, I like to wear pants so I can move a lot more freely without flashing anyone :) So I wore these pink silk (pajama style) pants, a white top and my favorite shoes from last summer. These were my pop of color with every outfit last year. I remembered wearing them with a pink dress and thought they'd be perfect with these pants. </span>I love the combination of the pink and blue!</div>My Stylish Love Affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13929320551960513349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643473795122785115.post-47608366307588835062012-07-24T23:34:00.002-04:002012-07-24T23:57:52.388-04:00Python Chic<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A perfect bag for both work and play...roomy enough for your laptop during the week or your beach towel on the weekend. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Although it has a pattern, the black and white color acts as a neutral...so you can wear it with practically anything. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So many outfit ideas in mind...based solely off this bag and did I mention that it's on sale for only $29.99!!!! I got mine in store, but you can get yours <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012-s/244904/631006/SNAKESKIN%2BSHOPPER">here</a>!

Love! Love! Love these jeans! I purchased them 3 years ago and I'm so glad I did. Although they were really popular then, I have still been able to rock them every summer since. I just add a current trend or new item from my closet and have a fresh new look. The distressed, ripped denim and slight boyfriend fit give them a very casual appearance and when paired with a pair of sexy sandals you have the perfect combination of tomboy and girly :)<br />

A great alternative to blue jeans or black skinnies and a lot more fun! Perfect for Girls Night Out or Date Night. I'd wear them with neutrals and let the pants stand out...a solid top and stilettos are all that's needed.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">These jeans are super comfy. They're light weight and stretchy enough that you don't feel stiff or restricted in them and I love the color! In the store, they only had this coral color, but online they also have them in orange and what appears to be a minty green color...which of course I may need:) They can easily be worn dressed up or dressed down. I have worn them with wedges and a dressier top and they looked great. So this time, I went for a more casual look and wore flat sandals and a loose tank and actually liked the look even better. This is the second linen tank that I have purchased at Zara (first one <a href="http://mystylishloveaffair.blogspot.com/2012/06/blazin-bright.html">here</a>) and they're also really comfortable...although they are a loose fit, they still fall nicely on the body and don't look so boxy. This striped one comes in other fun colors and is now on sale!</span>My Stylish Love Affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13929320551960513349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643473795122785115.post-56027210949445540292012-07-06T23:36:00.005-04:002012-07-06T23:54:13.331-04:00Vacation Wish List - Casual Dressy<div style="text-align: left;">

There are those classic pieces that go with you every year like my <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Sam-Edelman-Gigi-Leopard-Print-Thong-Sandal-CUSP-Most-Loved-Sandals/prod144360008/?ecid=NMCIGoogleProductAds&ci_sku=prod144360008skuLEOPARD&ci_gpa=pla&ci_kw=%7Bkeyword%7D">Sam Edelman gigi's</a> and my black <a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/swimwear/triangle-top/triangle-bikini-set-beach-sexy?ProductID=58364&CatalogueType=OLS">Victoria's Secret triangle bikini</a> to name a few.

Two of my birthday gifts. The heels were a gift to myself...they were on sale...how could I not?!?! The last pair of this style on the sale table and happen to be in my size. Meant to be?...I think so. And the other from my thoughtful mother...what girl doesn't love Audrey Hepburn. She's one of my faves :) I am a huge fan...her style, her elegance, her sense of humor, her confidence, just her!<br />

Hanging out with family and friends in the backyard with yummy food :) Always fun! I usually base my outfit on the type of BBQ. There is the evening BBQ which I would choose a summer dress and a wedge. The pool party BBQ which requires a bikini and a cute cover up. Then you have those good old fashion family BBQ's where cute but casual attire is best. For these, I almost always opt for shorts and a tank with flat sandals. This is always the safest option when you want to be comfortable but still fashionable:) <br />

They're purple! I have been dying to wear them again so when I spotted this beauty with an open back and colorful pattern (reminds me of a Van Gogh painting), I knew it would be perfect! With the multi colors, it has just a hint of purple which is accentuated by the shoes. Look out for an upcoming outfit post :) <br />

I believe a black pair are a definite wardrobe staple. They can easily be worn with a pair of cute flats or your hottest heels! They can be worn with an old t-shirt or that beautiful new blouse you have your eye on. I wore mine this weekend with my new 'go-to' heels and a blouse in my favorite color. It was the perfect outfit for an evening in the city where the temps dropped low enough for the long sleeves but not enough for an additional layer. The blouse has concealed front buttons and pretty gold cuffs and shoulder detailing.<br />

90's feeling like 105!), I was inspired to buy a bikini. Saw this one
at a boutique a few weeks ago on a weekend trip to Philly, but didn't
purchase it. Don't know why?!?! So the search began...trying to find
both the top and bottom in my size. In the end, I had to buy each
piece separately from 2 different places. Super excited and can't wait
to rock it on my summer vaca! Bermuda, here I come!<br />

Love! Love this clutch! I first spotted Kerry Washington with it <a href="http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2012/02/24/kerry-washington-in-cushnie-et-ochs-5th-annual-essence-black-women-in-hollywood-luncheon/">here</a> and thought what a cool, unique and perfect accessory for those basic outfits that need a touch of fun. A few months later, a post from one of my favorite bloggers featured the bag and it was on sale! So of course I thought, it must be meant to be! I emailed my husband asking his opinion and when I went to purchase it, it was already sold out:( Of course, I was disappointed so imagine my surprise and elation, when he surprised me with an early birthday gift just a few days later! Can't wait to rock it!!!<br />
