Leather or Not?

Leather at work can be tricky. More creative environments and industries such as design and advertising might welcome the trend that crept from runway to what I call “real-way.” But before test driving this trend, think about your work culture and environment. If you work in a more conservative environment, avoid full leather pieces and select subtle leather touches on a collar or sleeve. To make this look appropriate for real-way, choose leather pieces in classic lines like a simple blazer or pencil skirt. Let the leather take the lead by pairing it with a cute cardigan, basic blazer and classic pumps. Now it’s your turn to try the trend. #Zara faux leather skirt, #Brooks Brothers button-down, #Zara Basics blazer, #Aeropostale #cardigan

Get Washed Away in Winter White

Before I travel to a new city, I do a search and make a list of all the consignment and vintage stores. The best finds are hidden in small towns far, far away from the world's fashion capitals. It's here that I inevitably find buried treasures. On my latest hunt with my mother in Naples, I ran across this vision in winter white. The perfect piece for Florida's flirt with cooler temps. Before winter ends let yourself get washed away. #Joie Jeans #Miha
