WEARING: SAKU NEW YORK CUTIE COLLAR PLEATS DRESS | ADIDAS STAN SMITH LEATHER SNEAKERS

As some of you may know, I have, as of lately, been highly interested in Korean fashion. In the past week, I featured two distinctive Korean designers, one called, s a k u New York. s a k u is both feminine and casual, with great attention in creating never-seen-before styles. The SS17 collection's theme is, 'the LINK_', in that every creature is somehow linked together through inspiration and dreams. What is really exquisite about this collection are its key designs which have slit-pleated details and beautifully colored liners, like in Look 2 which is very sporty chic. Even the crochet detail with the neon peach color is quite lovely. The collar also brings a cute added touch to this dress.

Look 1 is all about structure and material. The cut and shape of the bell dress are impeccable. What I'm most infatuated with about this particular dress is the neon peach liner. You guys will be seeing a lot more of this up and coming-trending color. This stretchy, white, crew neck dress also features a concealed back zipper closure and the front hemline is shorter than the back side. Flirty and feminine, this bell dress is a perfect pick for any daytime look, from a stroll through the park, out watching your guy play ball, or even to a bridal/baby shower!

I styled these dresses very simply yet I had a lot to work with :) The baseball team, balls flying everywhere, the wind, the sun, the felt grass and symmetry of the lines... all these worked into creating a story. Sporty chicness meets girl-next-door meets ballet dancer. I hope you guys are digging the new edits and photos. As always, hearing from my readers never fails to make my day!

WEARING: KATYA DOBRYAKOVA WRAP DRESS | VAGABOND HONEY BODYSUIT | UO BLACK PATTI LOW HEEL MULE

THIS LOOK IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY KATYA DOBRYAKOVA & VAGABOND HONEY.

You guys need to know about Katya Dobryakova! The fashion designer's line, based in Moscow and here in New York City, is nothing of the stereotypical Russian fashion. And oh man, do we likey! From eclectic circus-themed designs to gorgeous embellishments and patchwork, to pieces that are full of humor and satire - Katya will be one of the next game-changers in the fashion world. Check out this AMAZING wrap dress I'm wearing in today's post! I'm so in love with it.

With faux suede, the olive green tone perfectly balances with the brown fringe. And can we talk about my kitty-cats (leopards) hanging with me and this dress?! The patchwork is not just stylishly dope AF (pardon my French), but the craftsmanship is supreme. You can tell a LOT of work goes into each and every one of her pieces. You can even get a custom-made denim jacket with whatever idea you might have and Katya will hand-paint the piece herself. It really comes to life. She's painted Frida Kahlo, Biggie, Tupac, Homer Simpson; just to mention a few, and I just love personalizing a regular denim jacket into something more than just a name or a number. For anyone that likes playful, fun and crazy cool creative styles, Katya is your girl.

Katya Dobryakova also carries this wrap dress in two other different colors. One is more all brown, and the other one has neon pink fringe, which would be super hot for the summer season! She also has some amazing discounts going on right now from her winter collection! Don't forget to shop down below and check out Katya at www.katyadobryakova.com

WEARING: VVA CARLINA YELLOW LEATHER HANDBAG

THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY VVA HANDBAGS BUT ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.

Functional versatility is the driving force behind VVA Handbags. Made in Britain, the collection evokes both versatility and elegance, and are individually produced and crafted by hand, using the finest British and Italian leathers. Each VVA bag can be carried and styled in several ways. The new arrivals, like this Carlina Yellow Leather Handbag, which I'm totally obsessed with its uniqueness and vibrant color!

The Carlina shoulder bag is a handbag with attitude - a showstopper, in your face statement handbag that will certainly catch the eyes of many! What makes this bag ultra-special to me is the leather is Springbok (South African antelope) which has beautiful markings and a rich "punk" effect on the front and is paired with Italian black leather on the back, along with the handles and interior trimming. It even has a signature pink interior!

Designed to be your go-to handbag the roomy interior provides space for your technology, magazines, work documents, and other daily essentials. There's an additional inner handbag in Springbok attached with press studs making it easy to remove and can be used as a separate shoulder or clutch bag. Hand finished with silver nickel details, VVA Handbags are standout investment pieces to your wardrobe. I definitely can say my new bag will come in handy during NYFW! I'm getting excited for next week, how about you guys?

How to Style a Pajama Top and Look Chic

I've got to say I've been enjoying the heck out of the freshly cut fringe bangs I got done for the new year! When I asked for Penelope Cruz bangs circa Vanilla Sky, with a little sass but light and romantic, I was more than thrilled with the results! Thanks to Fourteen Jay Salon down in TriBeCa, my new do has been my latest favorite accessory. :)

Talking about recent obsessions, I know this trend has been around for awhile now, but I couldn't help but put my own twist on styling a pajama top! I have this Victoria's Secret black satin pajama blouse that I sleep in constantly, but who says you can't stay cozy and chic at the same time? My advice is to keep it casual but playful. Since it's freezing in New York, I've busted out my vintage Saga Furs silver fox coat that I've had for several years. These cute Nina Ricci sandals have also been around for ages, but I love its low heel and minimal feel to any look! With keeping the play on casual, I wore Forever 21 dark denim skinny jeans and added pops of color and twinkles of metal to style the outfit with a touch of luxury. Plus, it complements with the fur coat well.

You guys need to check out Louise & Eleanor! They are an amazing California-based designer handbags line carrying totes, clutches, and more. I'm so in love with the new apple green clutch I got from them, you should see all the other ones they have too! And let's not forget to mention this amazing necklace from a small shop based in Brooklyn, called Metal Mingle Jewelry. They create adaptable mixed metal jewelry with sleek and geometric designs. Absolutely adorable, chic pieces, I was so happy to receive one of their eclectic necklaces! Alright... enough chit-chat about this look! I need to get back to maaaaaad editing... and meetings... and events. Engagement post coming live on Monday so stay tuned! Can't wait to share the love. ❤️

This post is brought to you by Dress Lily & Fello Eyewear.

Season's Greetings! The last month of the year is always crazy and with the holidays around the corner, I've never been so busy with work! It's amazing I'm somehow able to manage it all with only 24 hours in a day, where even though it never feels like I'm doing enough with day-to-day meetings, events, photo shoots, and creating + editing content, I feel really good about where I am heading in my career. It finally feels right!

With that being said, I have some exciting news! I'm going to be a fashion blogger mentor for students in New York City who are passionate in a career such as mine, where I'll be giving personalized feedback on how I come up with creating content, finding ways to drive traffic to my blog and how I earn revenue from it. I am incredibly honored to do this as I've worked with children in the past as a figure skating coach. It's remarkable how everything always comes together. I'll be sharing more on this in the next couple of weeks - I'm very excited for this opportunity!

Lastly, today's look is brought to you by this stunning Dress Lily collarless ombre faux fur coat. Isn't it darling? I paired this shaggy coat with BDG jeans (my fav from this year), Aldo studded boots and big silver hoop earrings. I like to keep a fierceness in my style because I can be an intense person! It's who I am, no apologies. To heighten the look and make it a little kinky even, I improvised with a wrap-around choker and used it as a belt! The handbag is from Madora and the aviators are by this really cool brand called, Fello Eyewear. You guys should go check out their sunglasses.
