Silver is the New Black 

WEARING: MANGO METALLIC PLEATED TOP | 
BDG TWIG SLASHED HIGH-RISE CROP JEAN | CALVIN KLEIN RUBY PATENT SLINBACKS | 
BLUE NILE STATEMENT POLISHED STERLING SILVER HOOP EARRINGS

Happy Hump Day! Silver is the new black, right? Immediately after seeing this Mango top online, I rushed to the store to get it, thinking one, they'd probably be all out in my size, and two, they'd probably be sold out to begin with! The metallic pleated top alone inspired the theme to my next editorial video; dancing and grooving to disco-y, R&B electronica vibes. Though I won't be at Coachella this year, I will be there in spirit! We hope our video puts an extra pep in your step!

Other outfit details include the ruby patent slingback from Calvin Klein, BDG high-rise jeans, which my favorite part of the jean are the ends, and big J-Lo-styled sterling silver hoop earrings from Blue Nile.

One of my ultimate dreams in New York City has come true! It was so hard to keep it hush-hush for about a week now, but I am delighted and very excited to finally be able to tell you guys all about it! Sometime last week, I was having a very rough start to my morning and was really feeling under the weather, but I like to start my day by taking walks with MaQ, especially when I'm feeling down. Just the two of us roaming the streets of New York never fails to inspire me to keep going.

That morning was kind of cold. You know, those spring mornings where it's only slightly warm being in the sun. I was going to keep it a brisk walk and take MaQ out for a longer one later on in the day, as I had so much work to do. But, because I wasn't feeling 100% and the fact that I walk around to clear my head, I opted for a longer route and went to one of his favorite parks in New York City, Washington Square Park. He loves to find sticks to chew and play with, accompanying me while I people-watch and take snapshots. Suddenly, a deep male voice from behind said, "Excuse me, do you mind if I take a picture of your dog?" But before I could reply, he graciously continued. "I run The Dogist... I'm not sure if you've heard about us..."

My jaw dropped to the ground and I was beaming. Ever since Elias Weiss Friedman had created The Dogist in October of 2013, I've been following him religiously. With nearly 2 million followers on Instagram and over 10,000 photos of dogs from around the world, he's got my (well one at least) dream job, chasing dogs and traveling. I just never saw the man behind the camera! We had a blast shooting with Elias and his assistants, MaQ took his role as a supermodel VERY seriously. Come take a look at his AMAZING portrait shot HERE!

To see more incredible portraits of dogs by The Dogist, go to thedogist.com

Lastly, here's my look of the day! Grey tones meet casual chic with a long suit jacket from H&M, Steve Madden open-toe ankle booties and Forever 21 skinny jeans. It's one of my favorite comfy go-to looks. You can totally keep doing your #GIRLBOSS thang in this outfit. Sadly, due to grey tones not only being a part of this look, the weather did not allow us to film this look for the week. Boo, to rain! But don't worry, more to come soon, soon, soon! Stay tuned...

ZARA WHITE CROPPED TOP WITH PLEAT DETAIL | ZARA LONG FLOWING BLACK SKIRT | 
ZARA BALLERINAS WITH STRAPS | GUCCI DIANA SATCHEL

Thank Goodness it's almost Friday! I've had quite a crazy week filled with technical difficulties such as code developing mishaps, learning more about the world of videography and then some! This week, along with the look of the day, I'm also sharing my first directed video for MaQ + Suz! Here you'll get a glimpse of our everyday lives with a mix of fashion and style along the way! And if you're a dog lover like myself, there's a whole lotta German Shepherd in the video! We will be posting more of videos on our YouTube Channel weekly. Click here or down below to view the entire video! I'd love to hear what you guys think! What would you like to see more of?

Today's outfit is monochrome and minimal. My kind of everyday style. My white cropped top and black flowing skirt are from Zara, as well as the ballerina flats. I love these for spring. They're definitely trending this season! My Gucci bag is from Purses for Nurses (obsessed with the bamboo handle) and my daily coat as of late is from Assembly New York.

Looking forward to this weekend! I'll be posting a new cocktail recipe then. I know I'll be having a few! Ha ha! Stay tuned! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and shop the look! Thanks for your continued love and support! Enjoy the rest of your day. 💕

Wide Leg and Bottega 

WEARING: ASOS BLACK CHIFFON BLOUSE | H&M WIDE LEG PANTS W/ SUSPENDERS 
BOTTEGA VENETA LOAFERS & BAG | HAIR BY: GLAM & GO

First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Belgium. This morning's news of the Brussels attack makes it hard to stay positive in an already-changing world we are all living in. My heart is in pain for the victims and their families, because not only were lives lost and forever altered but this tension; this fear that now lurks in the air, that had been building up since the Paris attacks, is certainly palpable. I know, however, that the people of Belgium will be resilient and remain standing tall with their heads held up high. We are with you. Much, much, much - so much love to you all.

Today's look is all about the wide leg spring trend. I love its masculine vibe but I also always feel like a Hepburn when wearing my favorite wide leg pants from H&M. Can I just mention the fact that they came with suspenders - which definitely makes me feel a little bit like a 1920s gangster?! Ha ha! All kidding aside, I love the shape and hold of these styled pants. They're empowering and when it comes right down to it, you'll look like you mean serious business, but in a good way! It is definitely not a man's world! To complement the strong long lines of the pants and suspenders, I paired it with a black chiffon blouse from ASOS. It gives the whole outfit a little softness - keeping it feminine.

One of my favorites when it comes to Italian leather is Bottega Veneta. Their leather feels like butter and the quality; superb. I paired my favorite chocolate brown plaited loafers with a matching bag. I love the texture of both - gives the outfit a modern but edgy look. I always got to have a little something extra when it comes to my style! This Bottega bag is from Purses for Nurses, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to make a lasting improvement on global healthcare by funding volunteer trips that send nurses to the places they are needed the most! Click here to read more about them and how you can help out as well, starting today!

And lastly, my hair was done by Glam & Go, a hair salon that does memberships for unlimited blowouts! You can kiss bad hair days goodbye! $150 a month and you can get blowouts, braids, buns and more! And their location's essential... they're at the David Barton Gym! Now not only do you not have an excuse to go to the gym but on top of it, with multiple locations, you'll never have to worry about your hair looking fly again. I can't wait to go back for some more do's! Thanks again, guys! You totally rock!
