A trench is the perfect topper this time of year when the weather is always changing. It is also a piece that can take you through all four seasons as you add or remove layers. With so many different styles available nothing will make you feel as ready to take on the rain. Shop my picks below…ranging from the classic style to wrap around, and even denim.

Three words: One And Done.
The go to one piece is style simplified…no mixing or matching necessary. Slip into a striking jumpsuit then step out. My favorite part about wearing any style onsie is that it makes getting ready so much easier. You never have to run around searching for the perfect top or bottom. You pick out your shoes, add some jewls, and bam! You are done. You can grab your bag and out the door you go.
The romper I have on today is by Alexis. The entire line is so stunning. It has a lot going on in all the right ways as it comprises both ruffles and lace (my favorite.) Since it is a little on the dressier side I based my picks below on pieces that make a statement. I hope you enjoy.Thanks for stopping by!!

Feathers always add femininity, glam, and of course movement to any look. Today they prove sweaters can be special too. Instead of pairing your jeans and pumps with your average sweater, sometimes it is fun to find different pieces that add that unique touch. This cashmere shell from J.Crew does just that…detailed with playful feathers at the bottom. I decided to wear a blouse underneath for a finishing touch and more relaxed look. Shop this look below:
First and foremost thank you SO much to everyone who attended my first event at Rebecca Minkoff!! I was beyond happy with the turnout and I am so grateful for the opportunity. I loved meeting and chatting with some of my followers and it is so amazing to see the huge impact social media has today…connecting people from all over with similar interests. I cannot imagine life without it (I am a serious Instagram addict)
I told everyone I would put all of my outfit details from my event the other night on the blog. I usually do not do outfit posts on the weekend…but why wait?! This is the Judith dress from Minkoff of course (one of my current fav’s…but then again so is everything in the store) I love the shoulder cut-outs and the flowy texture. It is just perfect. I decided to pair it with booties instead of heels because 1. I knew I was going to be on my feet for a while and 2. They add a hint of realness to this angel-like dress.
This style is available in a few other colors and there is also the “Robbie” style, which is very similar and offered in a floral print. I went ahead and picked out some of my favorite pieces currently available and you can shop them below:

I have been meaning to mention this for a while now, and you probably don’t need me to tell you that a white tee is a closet essential (duh.) HOWEVER, if you are over-using this basic and most overlooked item…it may be time to invest in a new, clean, and crisp white tee. I mean, think about it…it has the most versatility out of anything you own. It takes you to the gym, to get coffee, to the office, and even out at night..am I right?!
There is nothing like being casual and comfortable…especially at the end of a long week. Today I decided to pair MY new white tee from Splendid with my newest go-to jeans, a gingham blazer, and signature Puma kicks. A perfect casual Friday if you ask me.
I am headed into the city for a Rebecca Minkoff event tonight. You are invited to come join me at the new store in Soho from 6-8 pm for styling tips, 20% off, and a chance to win a free handbag!! I hope you can make it and I look forward to seeing many of you there!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

PLEATS PLEASE!!
Today I am pairing a light and flowy top with jeans, pumps, and a leather jacket for a casual street look. The yellow top gets its delicate feel from row upon row of pleats. It is still a little chilly out these days...hence the leather jacket (which also offers an edgy vibe)
The yellow and blue tones in today’s outfit just so happen to match my new bag from Henri Bendel perfectly!! This style is the West 57th Satchel in Black Multi and it will be available VERY SOON!! It is one of my favorites because it is so striking!! Stayed tuned for additional posts because I will be sure to keep everyone in the loop when it is available.
This look is one that is easy very to mimic. Mostly everyone owns a leather jacket (it is a closet staple must) All you have to do is find a pleated top and add a pair of pumps…even sandals. Shop my look below:
Springy and casual for a beautiful Wednesday afternoon!! I paired a classic silhouette pinstripe button up with white jeans…and check out these awesome espadrilles!! The BIGGEST thank you to the Rebecca Minkoff team for a pair of their studded flats in bright coral. I am obsessed!! Pops of color are bound to make a difference in your outfits and wardrobe this spring (and pretty much all year long) Shop today’s look below:
It’s that time of year again….
LITTLE WHITE DRESS SEASON….
And I’ve rounded up some of the best LWD’S ALL under $100!!!
The best part about the piece? It is fun and easy to wear. You can literally do anything you want with it. From neon colors to prints and patterns...the LWD can handle it all.
This lace up shift dress by JOA is detailed with a front tie closure and front patch pockets. I decided to add a little bit of both black and leopard throughout with my accessories. Shop the look below:
Happy Monday Everyone!!
Today I decided to share one of my favorite skirts!! It is a little older now but I am still as in love with it as I was the day I bought it. I love mini skirts…especially ruffled and layered ones for spring and summer. They are stylish, youthful, and have so many styling options.
This one from Alice & Olivia I actually wore on my 22nd birthday. Black floral appliqués dress up the scalloped tiers of the party-ready skirt. It may remind you a little bit of an older post I did Heart of Gold (another favorite of mine).
This skirt is unfortunately no longer available, but I went ahead and picked out a few other adorable tiered skirts for the season. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone,
Well, as you have seen on my Instagram, I just got back from Aruba and I had the most amazing and relaxing time. Every year I take two or three vacations with my family and we have been there several times because the Island has the best food, nicest people and pretty much guaranteed great weather. Two years ago we stayed at the brand new Ritz Carlton, which we loved but it is very quiet so this year we decided to go back to the Marriott Stellaris where there is much more activity. The grounds are beautiful and the sun was sizzling, so much so that we had to spend a little less time than usual on the beach. You are right at the equator so you can just imagine how great the weather really is. I cannot say enough about the food and we have several restaurants we frequent, never being disappointed.
We kept it a little more low key than usual this year not fussing as much for dinner, more sandals less on the heels, hair and makeup, which was kind of nice but doesn't always make for the best pics so I will restyle and repost some of my outfits when weather permits. In the meantime I'm back in the Northeast and back on the blog.
I wish I had this maxi dress while in Aruba…it just screams for clear blue water and pink sand. It has that princess feel to it with the flowy bottom. I paired it with pink pumps, and a light blue Edie Parker clutch for a little more color. I hope you like it as much as I do! You can get this look below.
Thanks for stopping by today!!
Love Lauren

If you follow me on Snapchat (laurrecc) then you may have seen me wearing this dress in Aruba trying to get “the shot”….I ended up not getting the best ‘shot’ of my outfit (I blame it on you Catherine!!!) JK. Anyway, this dress is one of my favorites so I had to make sure I posted it on the blog.
I love the embroidered stars throughout and the ruffled detail at the bottom. Lately I have been so drawn to ruffles and pleats for the spring and summer. They are so feminine and fun. This dress is also available with long sleeves, as a shirt, or in navy and gold. You can shop my look below. Thank you for stopping by today!!
XOXO
Everything is all about the ‘kicks’ these days. It makes sense for the girl always on the run…they are practical and most of all comfortable…and you can pair them with pretty much anything. My kicks today have mesh side panels making them that much cooler!!
I am wearing a Rag & Bone navy/black two-tone dress, Illesteva sunnies, and my favorite mini Fendi monster bag for a very casual look. This is an outfit that is very easy to make your own by adding pieces for your own unique flare. Get the look below:
Happy Monday Everyone!!!
I do not know about you, but I definitely have found love in this graphic oversized tee designed by Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci. What really interests me is that Tisci gets a majority of his inspiration from the streets and the diverse culture of America. As a graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology….I spent four years studying different ideologies of society and the deeper meanings behind both human relationships and institutions. I thought of sociology after I watched a brief video I found on the internet (that you can watch here) Tisci takes his personal thoughts and experiences and dives into his creative work. You may see repetitive symbols such as stars, Bambi, basketball, rottweiler’s, and even sayings such as the one on today’s tee “I Feel Love”…and they all hold meanings.
It only makes sense that I went with a very distressed and streetstyle look with denim, black booties, and a black leather choker. These Fendi bug Chelsea boots are my latest shoe purchase and I just am TOO obsessed!! Anyway…you can get this look and similar by shopping below:
Thanks for stopping by today!!

Your 70s style inspo starts with a jumpsuit…and ends somewhere between patchwork embellishments and vintage finds. The appliques on this pair of dungarees are lighthearted and they add a special touch. I tied a vintage Celine scarf around my neck and added white low top converse for a pieced together look and timeless appeal.
I am headed to Aruba next week and I definitely can see myself traveling in this number (or one of my many other vacation finds) because 1. it is comfortable and 2. most importantly… very cute.
You see patches on everything these days from denim, to tee’s, and even sneakers…you can even buy them separate to DIY. Shop today's look and other adorable finds below:
Today’s look reminds me of the salsa dancer emoji (in a good way). It is ruched to perfection and the red floral print is TOO good for spring!! This dress can be easily taken day to night with a change of shoes.
If you have been following along on Instagram then you have seen my newest choker obsession by Chan Luu. I love it so much!! It is simple, yet so sophisticated, and I love that it can still look great layered with other pieces.
Today’s items are a little pricey…so I also picked out some great alternatives. You can shop this look below. Thank you for stopping by!!
It’s FRIYAYYY!!! (thank god)
I am really excited to share today’s look because not only it is super cool, but perfect for those of you who are festival bound soon…not to mention…it’s under $40 (excluding the denim jacket).
I love flares because they always make your legs look extra long. This allover floral print pair are knit and really comfortable. I paired them with a rust halter and oversized denim jacket for a very relaxed look..ideal for going into the weekend. This daisy choker adds a little bit of a hipster touch.
I already have another great idea for these pants, so stay tuned for that! For now, you can shop this look below and additional print flares that I love. Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your weekend!! XOXO
This orange cotton sweater is the perfect now-and-later- layer. With the weather so up and down lately, getting dressed in the morning can be pretty confusing. With that being said, today I added an optional blazer and a simple pair of jeans. What I am really loving is this vibrant statement cuff found on sale at J.Crew for around $8 (so crazy). It is the little things like this that can make transitioning a little easier. Thanks for stopping by!! XOXO

I have been having serious spring fever. I am over the cold and SO over my winter clothes!! I have been trying to incorporate more color into my outfits along with some lighter weight pieces. This midi skirt from Maje for instance has a neoprene-like finish and all-over print…you could do a lot with this. Today I decided to go with one of my favorite and classic layering pieces…a sleeveless shell (also see the matching cardigan) they always seem to work with just about anything. The sunset pink color adds a fun touch to the green and blue print. This look is still shoppable. See Below:
