Happy New Year, my dear friends! 2016 had its many up & downs but what I'm most grateful for are the lessons learned from this past year alone. I've never grown so much, both professionally & personally, and can gladly thank my friends, old & new, for your wisdom and support. Your continued love can never be only expressed through just words – I may say a lot (or talk too much), but I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for your inspiration, good laughs, and fun times, through the thick & thin of it all. You'll never know how much you all mean to me! I am not one to make resolutions... if you ask I'll give you something quite ambitious such as, "eating more donuts," or "learning how to bake more donuts." All kidding aside, I am very excited for the New Year and have a really good feeling that 2017 is going to be unforgettable! 

Instead of wishing you all the happiness in the world or how I hope to travel more or be more intuitive, blah blah blah (!), just know that I'm wishing you all lots of whatever your gorgeous hearts' desire. And more importantly, where on earth I found this vintage motorcycle jacket! I'm a huge fan of the Rolling Stones (my favorite album is probably Sticky Fingers but so hard to choose from...) and received (okay, my husband) this from a dear friend. The second I discovered this beauty, I snagged (err.. 'borrowed') it. No idea exactly where it's from but here is a link to a few similar ones!

I also can't help but mention the backstory behind these Terranova Capri denim pants. They're over ten years old and from halfway across the world! When I was studying abroad in Ukraine, I found them in a store while in Odessa. I loved them so much I actually went back for them after first discovering them while out with friends. My 'Detroitish' t-shirt is from Ink Detroit... for those of you who may not know, I grew up in Detroit! I paired the look with sleek black Steve Madden ankle boots that I'm also completely obsessed with at the moment. I think I'll be wearing them rather frequently this first week of the New Year. ;)

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend! What are you doing New Year's Eve? If you haven't found the perfect dress for the occasion, allow me to lend a helping hand! Gold is IN right now. And with this Rose Gal metallic mini scalloped dress, you'll be dancing the night away in no time! I paired the dress with champagne-colored satin slingbacks from Nina Ricci. I feel it complements well with the metallic as too much of anything, such as metallic on top of metallic, can be too much. The Kendra Scott Carla earrings are the loveliest droplets for this kind of glam holiday look. 

So... are you more of the going out type on New Year's? Or do you like to stay in and cuddle at home for the big event? I, myself, don't mind either and have done my fair share of both. I think when you're young and/or single it's a grand ole time to be out painting the town red. But sometimes it's really great to just spend time with the ones you love. If I have one tradition on New Year's, it's definitely with a bottle of champagne! I love Veuve Cliquot especially, do you have a favorite tradition on New Year's? I hope whatever it is that you do, that it is spent with the ones you love and cherish most in the world. Life's too short for nothing less than extraordinary in your life. To 2017 and beyond! Cheers. :)

Why Should Boys Have All the Fun?

Most of you know I'm not much of a girly-girl. I don't wear pink, I rarely wear dresses and am as far from prissy as a woman could get! Why should boys have all the fun when it comes to wearing the pants in everything? Since when can't a gal wear her big girl pants and be taken seriously without the sole form of sex appeal? Fashion is all about the art of expressing yourself through style and trends. And lately, I'm feeling LIKE. A. BOSS. Girls run the world and this mixed play on masculine with feminine into this look is exactly my mood as of late. Instead of the regular blasé sequin holiday dress getup for your next Christmas party/event, why not roll through looking like one of Helmut Newton's tough, fierce and empowered (slightly masculine) female subjects?

The wide-leg striped pant fit me like a glove. I feel like a total bad ass when running around the city in them! Like Superwoman! With its tough masculine quality, I paired these trousers with a gorgeous, soft h-line pearl sweater. And since it's way too cold to be wearing strappy sandals bare, I added in some black tights to help finish the overall black outfit. Additional accessories are the Oliver Bilou Taylor bag and my new favorite Daniel Wellington watch. Aren't they both so wonderful? Sleek, minimal and chic. Love!

Stay tuned for one more post this week! On Friday, I'll be posting a new self-portrait series. Things might get a little saucy up in here! You've been warned! ;) Happy Hump Day, guys...

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. Should you buy a pair, use my code, 'suzannespiegoski' to save 15% off your purchase!

A couple of weeks ago I attended a pop-up event that only carried collector items from the fashionable 90s time period. Spark Pretty is a store filled with vintage items from this decade and I was lucky to find a one-of-a-kind red velvet sleeveless dress. I love it's variation in length, short in the front and long in the back. But now that's it's getting colder in New York, I couldn't just wear this gorgeous piece alone! By the way, how adorable is this dress for Holiday events + parties?!

Heavily into layering this AW season, I paired the dress with a chunky, black lace-up jumper from Rosegal. They have great, affordable trending pieces in fashion and accessories. I love Rosegal so much I even accessorized with jewelry from them as well! Their stacked rings are super chic and the single bead hoop earrings bring sexiness to any outfit. The final detail are these killer over-the-knee platform boots from Angelina Shoetique. These boots have a life of their own and definitely was the inspiration behind the title of this blog post! Makeup mostly by Urban Decay and Dollup Beauty.  

What do you guys think of this emo/grunge/darker look? I certainly don't dress like a high school vampiress every day, but it was so much fun styling these pieces with a different concept we haven't done yet! Always willing and able to try new things and taking risks in fashion is only part of the fun when it comes to styling. Enjoy the weekend! We'll be back on Monday with a new fall style story with Thermos & JORD Watches (giveaway included) so stay tuned! :)
