I'm not usually a "matchy-matchy" lover, but this Season, the two-piece matching shorts suits have stolen my heart. I chose to style this Veronica Beard Emsley Cotton-Linen Jacket in a gorgeous Agate Green Color, with a matching Kimm Shorts, opting for a suit with no under...
As Summer rolls into full swing, I'm always looking for outfits for myself and my clients that are both heat-friendly and dressy enough to transition from daytime to evening, and this Season, the cutout dresses have really been catching my eye as they fill those...

Spring in NYC is truly my favorite thing. I love how the air gets warm, I love seeing the trees get their first blooms, and how the city awakens with all the outdoor activity. It's also the most fleeting time - and a bit like...
f the most versatile wardrobe pieces for Spring/Summer to add to your closet is a belted shirt midi or maxi dress - it's super easy to style, and can transition between cooler weather as it can be layered with a leather or denim jacket -...

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I had a super fun photoshoot a few weeks back at a colorful Williamsburg Loft called "Dream Loft Studios" and among a few outfits, I shot some great photos of my 52 Days of Style Daily...
One of my go-to color combinations throughout Seasons is blue and brown, and I love how it always feels chic, sophisticated and refined. For this look, I decided to go "shopping in my own closet" so to speak - and picked out a few pieces...
Being a "Spring Color Season" I always gravitate towards brighter colors for my outfits - and happen to love lavender, but sadly, don't have a ton of it in my closet. As it's been named Pantone Color of the Year 2022 *very peri* - there...
A couple of weeks back, I decided to see what was left of the Spring Cherry Blossoms in Central Park and take a few outfit photos. Even though a lot of the blooms did get affected by the constantly see-sawing weather, there was still a...
Last week I had a super fun part-branding part-Spring fashion photo shoot at Dream Loft Studios - and have some amazing colorful pictures to share. I booked it via Peerspace - an awesome website that allows you to rent places for photoshoots, events, etc. The...
Happy Easter Sunday! Even though Spring is still playing hide-and-seek, I love seeing more blooms around Park Slope - and had a chance to check out the cherry blossoms in Central Park earlier this week - pics to come! As I style my looks for Spring,...
Spring in NYC makes me so happy! We've had a few super nice weather days this week (mixed with some lousy rainy ones) but the good ones really lift my mood! I made time to shoot some outfits on one of those days in Soho...
Since I don't work in a traditional office, I definitely don't have a lot of "office-wear" outfits in my closet - but I do love a structured pant with a feminine top look, which I think is a great formula that transitions well from work...
One unexpected and fresh ensemble idea I love for Spring is leather shorts with a patterned pretty top. For today's outfit, I styled the Ulla Johnson Willa Blouse (sadly sold out, but similar ones tagged in the pic below) with a pair of belted black leather...
Some of my favorite new items to add to my wardrobe every Spring are fun dresses - and I love splurging on a few that I know will be statement pieces, and supplement with a few basic ones that I can wear more regularly....
One of my favorite color combinations for any Season is brown and blue - they're color compliments that make each other pop. Every Season, I like to reinvent them via fresh wardrobe pieces, and in this look, I styled my favorite item for Spring -...
Happy Official Spring! It's truly my favorite Season - and also my Birthday Season. One of my styling recommendations for Spring is to embrace the lighter shades of your favorite colors, and experiment with monochromatic looks - they always appear elegant and polished - and...
These last two weeks have been a see-saw of weather here in NYC - ranging from extreme freezing temps and super nice warm Spring days. I'm hoping it will all be settled in the next few weeks, and we'll finally start to see buds on...
Happy Women's History Month and International Women's Day! I love celebrating this Spring holiday for so many reasons - and it always makes me feel like the new season & hope are in the air! In honor of the holiday, I styled today's look for an...
Happy (Almost) March! I always await it impatiently as it feels so much closer to Spring - but truth be told, it's still far from warm here in NYC - so I'm dreaming of nice, comfortable days (and occasionally, enjoying a glimpse with 60 degree...
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that Winter has been around long enough - time for Spring! Every year, I wait for Spring impatiently - and not only because when it's warm and sunny the whole world seems like a better place, but...
Happy Valentine's Day! Hope however you're celebrating, you're taking a moment for self-care. For me, sometimes all it means is a solo coffee date at one of my favorite neighborhood cafes - taking a moment to people-watch, enjoy a pastry and fill my head with...
February is the unofficial-official month of love, with Valentine's Day mid-month - and all the brands and marketers pulling out all the stops to remind us to buy roses, heart-shaped chocolate and wear all shades of pink and red available. I LOVE - and don't...
It has been a really long January here in NYC (as I feel like it always is) - and to say that I'm ready for Spring is a serious understatement! I'm planning to shoot and share some Winter content over the next few weeks, but...
As resort season rolls in, I love to put together look inspirations for my clients that can be versatile and carry over into Spring. I'm not a huge fan of purchasing items that have one purpose only (such as to only be worn on one...
My clients are always looking for warm coat recommendations come Fall/Winter, and I definitely have a list of favorites for each category. When it comes to wool coats - I really like clean, elegant and classic/timeless designs, and I think Sezane is one of the...
One of my favorite color combinations all year round is rose (pink), white and gold. I love how refined, elevated, feminine and elegant those colors feel together. They can be worn all year round - and don't necessarily only belong in the warmer seasons. They...
Winter Date-Night looks can be tricky - as it's important to be warm but also chic - so I love it when I find pieces that pack both a flair and a sense of warmth/comfort to style for those occasions....
Happy New Year 2022! Hope it's off to a great start for you - and will only get better from here on out for all of us! I'm starting the year with fun and exciting colors - filling the upcoming Winter months with hope and joy....
Today's look is inspired by the "water element" which is the sign element of zodiac year 2022. I personally love spending time near the water, it always feeds my soul, so any outfit that is inspired by it is immediately a favorite. What makes this...
I honestly can't believe that 2021 is almost over. It's been a hectic year, both colorful and dark at the same time (as I think most of the world will agree) and I'm ready to step into 2022 in hopes that it's a better year...
One of my favorite Fall/Winter looks is a sweater dress with booties. I think it's easy, chic, and always feels both cozy and put-together. I also like playing around with monochromatic color combinations (green has been my latest obsession) - so in today's look I combined...
If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen my big announcement this week - I just launched my first product, and a labor of love that I've been working on for the past two years - 52 Days of Style Daily Styling Cards....
One of my favorite color combinations across Seasons is purple and green - and in the Fall/Winter Season, I love mixing toned-down versions of these colors to create soft looks that are both chic and festive, and relaxed. For today's look, I chose lavender and dark...
I honestly cannot believe it's been almost 24 years since the first episode of Sex and the City aired on HBO. That show meant a lot to me growing up in NYC - as I related so easily to Carrie and her life - her...
As the Seasons change, I find myself leaning more into the colors that nature surrounds us with - and in late Fall, I really gravitate towards deeper earth-tones bordering on jewel tones (but in the warmer palette as I'm a Spring)....
Happy Thanksgiving Week, everyone! This year, I'm definitely feeling the weather calling for cozy and warm - which to me always comes through fabrics that are both soft and sleek; and the best combination for late Fall is velvet and leather. ...
Outfits that make me feel most authentic, most stylish and put-together are creative ones that combine bold color compliments in softer tones (like mint green + rose pink vs red + green together) and feminine details, mixed with structure and stronger lines. In styling terms...
One of my favorite outfits to wear in the Fall is a sweater dress and booties (jacket/coat and stockings optional when weather gets colder). For this look, I styled a super comfortable Line & Dot Dress from last Season in a fun leopard print -...
I've been having a lot of my client sessions in Midtown lately - and decided to make it a point to have one of my outfit photo shoots at Central Park. Having lived in New York for over 25 years, I'm definitely guilty of taking...
When NYC weather is as perfect as it's been this October, I get to do my favorite outfit formula - dress with booties. For todays' outfit, I styled a whimsical, twirly Zimmermann dress with red+pink accessories to keep the look ethereal and feminine....
I think one of the best fabrics for Fall is leather (vegan or genuine) as it feels both substantial and light-weight, and comes in so many colors, textures and silhouettes. I've been loving all the designs in vegan leather this Season - from designers like...
One of the nice things about living in NYC is that the city really gets dressed up for the holidays. This year for some reason seems more special than others - maybe its the feeling of new beginnings or everyone making more effort to enjoy...
There are only so many ways to reinvent a garment (or so it seems), especially when it comes to black or dark navy pants, but I think there have been a few trends lately breaking through the mold and introducing an element of something new...
Every Fall, I see tons of leather hit the stores, and this year is no exception. I think leather (be that vegan or genuine) is a great fabric for Fall/Winter as it keeps the warmth in, while staying cool on the outside - and creates...
It is officially Sweater Season! I have such mixed feelings about Fall this year - as much as I love the cozy fireplaces/pumpkin spice lattes/apple cider and donuts, to me Fall also means that Winter is not far away - with its shorter days, freezing...
Would Fall even be Fall without tweed? ;-) On a serious note, tweed is almost synonymous with Seasonal dressing - and I love that while being a classic, it gets reinvented every Season. This year, I've been seeing a lot of color and mixed patterns in...
I've been loving this NYC October weather, and honestly want it to never end - so naturally, I haven't had to retire any of my Summer dresses yet, but have been styling them with booties to give them a more Fall look. For today's post, I...
Happy October! I'm really excited that this Fall is still feeling a lot like late Summer - and that I'm getting so much use out of my denim jackets and sweatshirts before it turns into sweater and coat Season here in NYC....
As the weather continues to fluctuate between late Summer and Fall, I continue to reach for outfit formulas that are both airy and a little cozy - and can be "warmed up" with the addition of layers - like stockings, leather jackets and scarves. One...
There are so many fun (and wearable!) trends this Fall, but my favorite this year has to be Western Boots. I definitely don't find myself gravitating towards the cowboy/girl trend on the regular, but I do love using elements of it (such as color and...
One of my favorite ways to dress up an easy sporty look is by adding a structured blazer layer. I think a fitted blazer makes almost any outfit more elevated and elegant - and is a great wardrobe staple to invest into....
Even as we head deeper into Fall, I love to hold onto color in my wardrobe - and some fun prints that relate to harvest Season. I really view September as an extension of Summer - so wearing something light-weight and bright feels natural -...
One of my favorite colors for Fall is brown, and I love mixing light shades of brown with other neutrals in my Autumn looks - like camel, beige, off-white, rose, mauve and creamy yellow....
Happy September! It's one of my both most favorite and least favorite months of the year. I love it because it's still warm and feels like Summer. I don't love it because behind it is true Fall, followed by Winter - with shorter days and...
As the Seasons are changing, I'm still clinging to Summer a little bit - so I wanted to share another late Summer outfit that's super easy to replicate - and you can bring it into Fall with swapping out the short sleeve button-down for a...
As Fall comes nearer, I'm even more motivated to give all my Summer pieces another round of wear, and my favorite item that I wear all Summer long, that screams "Summer", is a white jumpsuit. A jumpsuit is a great wardrobe staple as it's an...
One of my favorite fashion "rules" to break is "not wearing white after Labor Day". I think it's silly and pre-historic - and I also think that white denim transitions to Fall exceptionally well, making early Fall looks feel crisp, fun and lively. For today's outfit,...
As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I've recently discovered and fallen in love with a Brazilian Brand called "Farm Rio" - their dresses, skirts, jumpsuits, shorts and pants really capture the feeling of happiness, joy and a tropical paradise. So when I saw this...
As we near mid-August, the fashion cycle completely switches over to Fall - and pre-Fall is the first taste of the Season, when the fabrics and silhouettes are still Summery, but the colors become more saturated, richer and more refined. I have a few more Summery...
Happy 2nd week of August! I heard the other day that they call this "the height of Summer" - which is not entirely how I see it as I feel like Summer is definitely slipping away - but I'm holding onto to it for dear...
I'm always on the lookout for new brands that bring colorful and patterned designs to the market - as one of my goals as a Personal Stylist and Fashion Consultant is to inspire my clients to wear more colors and patterns. I think bold color...
I've been following Arielle Charnas (of Something Navy) for years, and it's been really exciting seeing her new clothing line evolve since it's initial launch. When she first started selling in Nordstrom, a lot of the pieces in her collection didn't fully fit my style...
One of my favorite things to do when creating outfits is looking at my own closet with fresh eyes. It's true what they say - that statistically speaking, we wear 20% of our closets 80% of the time, and even in the most minimalist of...
How is it already mid July? I know, I start every post with wondering where the time is going - and I really do feel like this year is going extremely fast! In today's style post, I wanted to share some ideas on how to...
Hope everyone had a great long weekend - I can't believe we're through the first week of July already, this year is just running by! As we head even deeper into the Summer heat, I love turning to my linen and cotton midi and maxi...
Happy official Summer! The heat has been really crazy here in NYC - running around town has required to rely on breathable fabrics, like linen and soft cotton. Thankfully, they are more than enough options for those selling at practically ALL the stores. Which leads...
Happy Friday! It's been a busy week here - and the weather has been so nice, it makes every day a joy! Yesterday, I loved taking a stroll through my favorite NYC neighborhood of Nolita after a client shopping session, and snapping some outfit pics...
Happy mid-June, and the official start to Summertime! The days are still getting longer and the sun is higher - making me excited for all the bright days ahead! As I always tell my clients, the colors we wear and those that surround us are great...
As we head deeper into the Summer, I'm definitely wearing less jeans and more dresses/skirts, but I did want to share one staple look for cooler days - styling a pair of straight-leg jeans - a style that has become increasingly popular. It's easy and...
Hello, June! The Spring weather is still holding strong here in NYC - and I'm soaking up every moment before the Summer heat arrives! A couple of days ago, I took a stroll around Dumbo after one of my Personal Styling Sessions - and enjoyed the...
Happy almost Summer! With the 80-90 degree weather here in NYC it sure has been feeling like it. I can't say the Summer is my favorite season even though I do prefer the warmth to cold - I think that it might be the humidity...
Happy mid-May! As this month is unfolding, I'm definitely feeling the warmth of Spring, and all the positive energy awakening around me very inspiring, and I'm looking ahead to a great (and busy) Summer. As I'm helping my clients shop for their Summer Wardrobes, this year...
Happy Mother's Day Weekend! As we get deeper into May and closer to the Summer, I wanted to share a look that is perfect for a Spring-into-Summer vacation, or a special occasion. It's designed with simplicity and elegance in mind - with only 3 key pieces...
Hope everyone's week is going great! I don't know about you guys, but I feel that I'm looking at Spring this year with a newfound appreciation. Whether it's because the Winter seemed extra brutal (especially here in NYC with masking, social distancing, etc.) - or...
I've been meaning to write this post for a very long time - and as April marks the beginning of my birthday month and this birthday will be the last one in my 30's (eek!), I wanted to share something that's very personal to my...
Hello, Spring! It felt really good to get dressed and shoot a few Spring looks last week, and I can't wait to share more outfit formulas over the next few weeks. For today's look, I put together a chic outfit that is both comfortable and versatile -...
I'm so excited for the coming Spring - I feel like the last two months flew by (mostly inside - as the NYC weather is quite unforgiving this time of year) and I can't wait to shed all the layers and pull out the cute...
Happy 2021 - Hope it's off to a great start! With the Holiday Season over, and Spring still miles away, I find this a good time to hibernate - and refocus. One of the ways I like to do it is by revisiting my closet as...
I can't believe it's end of October! With the Holiday Season quickly approaching -- whatever that might look like this year -- I'm sure some of you guys are gearing up to take Holiday Card Photos and I wanted to share a few of my...
Happy August! I hope you're enjoying your Summer as much as possible - it certainly is a different kind this year. It's been both a long and short couple of months since my last post, in the absence of in-person client work since March, I've been...
I never thought of myself as a boho girl, but not too long ago, a brand stole my heart and made me fall in love with all things pink, frilly and flow-y. This brand has a fun name - Loveshackfancy. On the about page of...
Hello, mid-April! First and foremost, I hope that you and yours are all feeling healthy, safe and sane -- it hasn't been an easy few weeks (adding up to months already!) and we all deserve a little distraction and fun -- so I wanted to...
Happy (Official/Calendar) Spring! Even though it's been fairly moderate here in the North East, it still feels very much like Winter with all the stress that's been happening in these challenging times. I was very conflicted about whether putting up style-related content is not "appropriate" -...
Hello, mid-February! I feel like we're zooming through the month and Winter is finally on its way out (even though, there is still at least 1.5 months of cold weather left here in the North-East). I'm gearing up to shoot my last 2 Winter Looks...
Happy Valentine's Week and mid February! Even though this Holiday is definitely over-commercialized in the US, I still enjoy all the pink hearts and romance it conjures up. I think it's also just a great excuse to treat yourself - as self-love is definitely something...
Happy February! I've been seeing all these memes on Instagram about how it feels like "January 74th" -- but to be honest, I felt that the month actually raced by for me. I'm really excited that January is done though, as February always feels like...
Happy Lunar New Year, everyone - may this year of the Metal Rat bring only amazing blessings to you and yours! As we're in the midst of Winter, and the weather is up-and-down all the time, it's becoming harder to dress creatively as layers and practicality...
I've never really been a gym person - even though I've had memberships to at least a half-dozen NYC workout facilities (and gave them my hard-earned money without really fully committing myself, guilty!) I'm more of a workout-naturally-while-having-fun person - I love to walk, dance...
Happy 2020! A new decade, New Year, and a feeling of renewed optimism is how I hope it started for everyone. I love the idea of turning a new page and giving yourself permission to revisit some of the goals/dreams/aspirations you've neglected without feeling guilty...
It's officially the last week of 2019, and what a year it was! I feel like I've been on a rollercoaster with balancing motherhood and my business, traveling a ton and seeing my Charlie turn from a baby into a little man. It's been rewarding,...
We're in the homestretch to 2020, and the Holiday Season is in full-swing, with Christmas music blasting at the stores, lights and tinsel galore, and holiday gift guides popping up on every corner....
Before I start sharing holiday looks in my next few upcoming posts, I wanted to finish off Fall 2019 with this great outfit that's perfect for every-day, and features one of my favorite brands as of late - Sézane. I've talked about how the vibe...
Hello, December! This year is zooming by - and I really can't believe we only have 1 month left before it's officially 2020! I still remember celebrating Y2K - it felt like such a huge deal (and I was only barely 18 then) -- 2...
I've been feeling really short on daytime lately - with early sunsets and colder weather - so even more than ever, I'm craving a little fun and color in my looks, and trying to transfer that same inspiration for color to my clients. For today's...
Before we fully commit to coats and gloves, I wanted to share one more easy fall look that's perfect for a day in the city. The looks features a few pieces from J.McLaughlin - a brand that combines effortless chic with clean lines and great quality....
As a busy mom and stylist, there are days when I really don't want to think about what I'm going to wear - so I love having some outfit formulas that are full-proof: easy, comfortable, polished AND look like I've made an effort but don't...
I honestly can't believe it's already November, and Halloween is behind us, leaving us staring at Christmas decorations that seemed to have appeared overnight at most stores. With Daylight Savings this weekend, I'm really craving any and all sunshine that's possible - and refuse to...
Fall is always an exciting time for fashion & shopping as it's "Sweater & Coat Season", and with all the Fall holidays - like Rosh Hashanah, Diwali and Thanksgiving, it feels like a new beginning of sorts (even before the New Year) - and turning...
Happy middle of October -- we're heading straight into Holiday Season, but I'm still desperately trying to hold onto the warmth and longer days. As the leaves change to golden & bright red, I find that those colors are surrounding me everywhere - and for today's...
Happy October! With all the travel over the past few weeks between L.A. and Maine, it's nice to be back home and enjoy the change of the Seasons. As the weather see-saws between 70's and 50's, I'm still reluctant to fully rotate my wardrobe (which just...
I've been wanting to share about this fun project I worked on a few months back for a while, and now that the article is finally published, I'm thrilled to tell you guys all about it! About 3 months ago, Elle Decor Magazine reached out to...
With the gorgeous Indian Summer weather, and traveling to an even warmer L.A. this past week, I've been holding off on rotating my closet for Fall but still feel like I need to embrace some of that Autumn feeling - so I've been pulling transitional...
Happy September! After April (which is my Birthday month), September is my 2nd favorite month as it carries the warmth of the Summer without the excessive heat (for the most part). It also brings with it the turning leaves, the Fall chilly nights and layers....
Happy Labor Day! The Summer seemingly swooshed by, but as we head into Indian Summer and into Fall, I still like to retain some feeling of Summer warmth in my wardrobe....
Hello, almost Indian Summer -- arguably, my favorite part of the Summer Season as the weather finally mellows out but the evenings are still warm. You can still wear your Summer pieces, but may need a little jacket for the chillier nights, and it's the absolute...
As Summer is coming to an end, most stores are having their End-of-Season Sales with ridiculous markdowns, making room for the Fall merchandise, so it marks a great time in retail to "stock up" on Summer staples for next Season. While I'm a huge fan...
As the end of Summer is drawing near, the weight of the hot and sun-kissed air calls for slightly more intricate patterns and more saturated colors. I love using prints and patterns in my wardrobe all year long, and always encourage my clients to do...
A couple of weeks ago, my client Svetlana and I had a Personal Styling & Shopping Session at the Moda Operandi Showroom in NYC, and I wanted to share a little sneak-peek inside their gorgeous space - and the pieces I pulled for her, and...
As we near August, and Summer is in its heat (literally), I'm gravitating towards softer, true Summer colors in the pastel family. They bring peace to a hot day, and are the perfect faded look for the last month of Summer. For today's look, I put...
A few weeks ago, when we were on our mini family vacation in Florida, Charlie and I had a photoshoot on one of my favorite beaches - Lido Key. I wanted to capture those moments with him as he's still little and yet is already...
And just like that, we're in mid July! Summer is in the midst of its heat, and most days I find myself reluctant to stick my head outside (even though I still do it as life with a 15-month old requires you to). Because of...
I'm so excited to share another style journey from my lovely client Lindsey. Lindsey reached out to me as she was planning a trip to NYC to attend a workshop, and wanted to see if she could schedule a session to share with a friend. They...
Happy July, and Independence Day Weekend! This past week my little family and I took a mini vacation in one my favorite places in the world - beautiful Sarasota, FL to spend time on the beach and relax among the palm trees. It's not as busy...
Happy 3rd week of June! Summer is off to a rolling start - as are all the Summer-white looks flooding social media and the streets.White is the the perfect Summer color - it looks fresh and crisp, goes perfectly with a tan, and lends itself...
I'm so excited to share another style journey from my lovely client Molly. Her husband reached out to me a few months ago as he wanted to arrange my session for her as a gift for her birthday, he mentioned that she would like to update...
Hope your (unofficial) Summers are off to a great start with tons of fun in the park/beach, outdoor bbq's and whatever other activities you love.This past weekend we had fantastic weather in NYC - sunny during the day, and a touch chillier at night, making...
I can't believe we're almost in June and Summer has (unofficially) started!I have been truly enjoying these past few weeks of warm weather (minus the intermittent rain) and taking in all the greenery around, which has been really uplifting my mood and creativity....
I can't believe we're almost in June and Summer has (unofficially) started!I have been truly enjoying these past few weeks of warm weather (minus the intermittent rain) and taking in all the greenery around, which has been really uplifting my mood and creativity....
May is off to a rolling start and the weather is finally catching up (minus this weekend!). This past Monday was my birthday and we took a short trip out to Philly for a day and a half -- just to change the pace and...
I'm so excited to share another style journey from my lovely client Sasha. She reached out to me late last year, looking for an image and wardrobe overhaul, interested in refining her style to reflect her personality and lifestyle. We've been working together, through a combination...
I hope everyone had a great Easter! It was nice to have the weekend off (I usually take clients Fridays and some Saturdays) and spend it with my little family, enjoying sunshiny walks around the neighborhood, decorating Easter eggs and seeing Charlie's face light up...
It was so great having Spring weather this past week - Charlie and I spent more time outside, enjoyed the Park, walked around the Slope - which is what I love to do this time of year, taking in all the gorgeous blossoms, and even...
Hope your Spring is off to a great start! The weather is finally starting to catch up with the Season -- we've had a few nice days this past week and the weekend was gorgeous, which made me feel more hopeful that Winter coats and...
Happy April! It's my birth month and I'm turning 37 this year -- which makes me a little nervous as it officially puts me in my "late thirties". I've definitely been feeling a bit more "grown up" lately -- being a mom has a lot...
Sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks, had a busy month with travel and getting ready to celebrate Charlie's 1 year birthday tomorrow! (AH! where did the time go?!)I'm super excited about the warm weather peaking in every once in a while, and Mercury...
This week marks the "ides of March" and with Daylight Savings behind us, I'm fully charging ahead with introducing Spring colors to my and my clients' wardrobes. Towards the end of the Season, I like to start preparing my closet turnover by washing my coats...
As we get closer to Spring (despite all the show set backs), I'm excited as I start to update my wardrobe and help my clients update theirs with seasonal staples. The stores are rolling out their Spring collections with new colors and items coming in...
Last week of February, wow -- I do feel like we're in the home stretch to get to Spring. I'm starting to get excited as I see new Spring collections in stores, and every once in a while we have a nice day with 50...
As the Winter is nearing the end (here's hoping!), I'm definitely starting to add more and more color to my looks as it intuitively feels more natural, and fills my ambiance with positivity (which also transfers to others -- try it out, you'll see!) As I've...
Happy (almost) Valentine's Day -- just like that we're mid-way through February! I've been on a busy streak of running around all week, and between mom-days and personal-styling-clients-days, I've been coming up with outfit formulas that can transition easily from one to another, and are easy,...
Happy Monday, and Happy February! Can't believe how fast January sped by with all the weeks blending into each other with taking care of Charlie during the week, working with my clients on Fridays, and traveling in the last week. And now we're 1/2 way...
Happy (almost) February! It's the best month of the Winter (I think) - as the stress of the Holiday-aftermath is over, the longest, most dreary month of Winter is also over, and after it comes March with a promise of Spring. It's also the shortest...
Living in NYC, I'm never surprised when a new client confesses to me that 90% of their wardrobe is comprised of pieces in varying shades of black (J/K, there is no real "varying shades of black", it's all one color!) I can very much appreciate...
You know that feeling when you wear something that's on point and you feel so confident, and get so many compliments? Like you're wearing an outfit that you can't wait to wear again, and again, and again? You want to throw it in the wash...
Even though the Holidays are over, I think there is nothing wrong with keeping a little glitz and magic in your wardrobe throughout the Season, which is a great opportunity to re-wear some of those party pieces you purchased for the Holiday Parties that are...
As most of you know, I'm a huge proponent of not shying away from color all year round, but from a practical standpoint, I completely understand that it may be challenging to do in the Winter months. ...
Happy mid-December! That perfect time when we're still far enough from Christmas & New Years that the Holiday rush hasn't fully set in, yet close enough to almost "taste" the time off coming up....
Hope everyone's having a great Monday, and enjoying the short week in preparation for one the best holidays -- Thanksgiving! It's best for so many reasons: no gifts are expected, you get to spend time with friends/family and eat tons of great food, and it...
Little know fact about me: I studied French for about 15 years between school and college. I even had this dream of moving to Paris (but then I met my husband and love and life intervened ;-) ) I've always been drawn to the French...
I've been meaning to write on this topic for a while now as it's something that's been coming up with many of my clients during Closet Edits/Reviews, and has been something I've been experiencing a lot lately (especially re-evaluating my wardrobe post having Charlie). I feel...
Happy Monday! This past week has zoomed by between hanging out with Charlie during the week and working with clients Friday and Saturday, and just like that we're nearing mid-September. I've been enjoying the cooler weather in NYC this weekend -- especially carrying around a...
Happy September! Hope everyone's LDW was full of fun, sunshine and relaxation. We decided to stay in NYC this year as we have a few trips coming up in the next few months, and it's actually a good time to enjoy a relatively empty city...
Well, that was it for Summer, huh?! It was a busy one, filled with lots of new experiences, great clients, afternoons in the Park with my Charlie and seeing my little baby and business grow in new ways. In today's outfit inspiration post, I am sharing...
I love working with all of my clients, and hearing their stories when they come to me, and seeing their amazing transformations after we work together. Svetlana came to me a few months ago with a desire to update her look; she was struggling with finding...
I seriously can't believe that Charlie is already 4 months old, and that the Summer is coming to an end. Who's with me in thinking it was way too short? Between running around with a baby and working with my clients a few times a...
This past weekend, I decided to practice what I preach, and finally looked through my wardrobe with objective eyes -- to evaluate what works for me right now: for my new body and lifestyle. I've heard many women say that their bodies changed after having...
I can't believe my baby is already 3 months old this week! The time definitely is "felt" differently these days - I can't say it flies by as most people do, but there is definitely a sense of shift of priorities - so 45 minutes...
For this week's #MarkdownMondays style digest, I found great items from some of my favorite retailers - Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Frye, Kate Spade and Rebecca Taylor, which are all having amazing sales right now. These are perfect as transitional pieces for this in-between weather we're...
As I’m entering my 3rd and final trimester (29 weeks this week), I’m starting to get the full use of all my maternity wear that I’ve stocked up on over the course of the past few months, with a few go-to outfits on rotation, so...
The 2nd Trimester has been stretching not just my long ligament muscles, but also my styling muscles indeed with all the new creative ways I've been inventing to adapt my wardrobe to my newly changing shape & state....
Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can finally start sharing some style insights I’ve gleaned during my First Trimester, that I hope can be useful to those of you who might be going through it (or planning to in the near...
As the Summer comes to a close, most of us feel tempted to start rotating our wardrobes to add new exciting Fall pieces into the mix. With Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale last month, a lot of us have acquired pieces for the Fall that we cannot...
I consider my own personal style fairly eclectic - with various dominant style personalities that I like to combine into style formulas that allow me to express myself through my outfits. Some days I feel more elegant-creative, while other days I like to dress more...
I hear over and over again from my clients that one of the main reasons they hire a Personal Stylist/Shopper is because despite the initial investment in the styling package, it saves them time & money in the long run. The way I structure my...
I was in LA last week for some trend research and had a chance to stop by the Theory Boutique on Melrose to check out their Theory 2.0 Capsule Collection. The collection is a new initiative by the brand's founder & CEO, Andrew Rosen, launched...
Happy Monday! Can't believe we're already in mid-July, where is the Summer running away to?! Hope you've all been having fun and stylish Summers so far. ...
Last week I was invited to check out a new salon in Tribeca called MB45 - which is such a great concept for a New York City gal as it allows you to get your Mani + Blowout (or a braided do) in just 45...
One of my favorite skirt shapes is an A-Line princess tulle skirt. Whenever I wear it, it always makes me feel fabulous. One thing I hear about this type of skirt silhouette from my clients over and over again is that's it's a bit difficult...
I'm so excited to announce an upcoming event I was invited to be a part of this coming Monday, July 10th, 6-8pm at the GILT Shop inside Saks Off Fifth on E.57th Street in NYC....
A few months ago, I was approached by British Airways to be featured in their BA Insider Video Series, showcasing what I love most about NYC as a Wardrobe Stylist and Personal Shopper....
Happy Best Monday of the Summer - Memorial Day Monday! My inbox has been filling up this weekend with amazing deals, as today officially marks the beginning of the Summer, and some of the best sales are happening right now, right in time to get your...
Happy Monday! Even though it's raining today in NYC, the rest of the week is looking pretty good according to the forecast, so to keep the Spring and Summer feeling going, today's MarkdownMondays style collage has tons of colors and prints for your stylish enjoyment. ...
Happy day-after-Mother's Day Monday - hope everyone's Mother's Day was beautiful & full of love! After being away from NYC for 3 weeks, in destinations with a more moderate Mediterranean climate (like Barcelona, Rome and Cique Terre, to name a few), I'm surprised to find New...
Yellow is one of my favorite colors & for a good reason. Its a color of optimism & brings that energy forward whenever you wear it - inspiring others to feel more positive. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be a color many people shy away from -...
I'm a huge fan of color, and consider myself a color enthusiast when it comes to my Wardrobe Styling work - encouraging my clients to add colors within their unique color palettes into their wardrobes, replacing black whenever possible....
Happy Monday - hope your Holiday Weekend was spectacular! With yesterday's weather being up in the 70s in NYC, I definitely felt like Spring had turned into Summer. It happens so quickly this time of year, that its imperative to have your wardrobe ready to transition....

As an Image Consultant, one of the first and most important areas my clients and I discuss are first impressions. Did you know that it can take less than 30 seconds for someone to make up their mind about you when they first meet you,...
Happy Monday - hope your weekend was fabulous! I actually ended up having one of those super-busy-running-around-with-clients weekends, working on helping them get their wardrobes ready for Spring. With yesterday's warm weather, I felt the mood instantly lifting - and making me more drawn to Spring...
Happy 2nd week of Spring! As the weather finally starts to get warmer (fingers crossed!), and layering isn't as important, it's finally a great time to pull out my favorite wardrobe staples - dresses! A dress is an outfit in and of itself - where oftentimes...
Happy {Official} First Day of Spring! While the weather may not be there just yet, my mood is definitely filled with images of blooming trees, about to start budding and flowering to bring forward the energy of rebirth and optimism. Today's #MarkdownMondays style collage is also here...
As someone who shops for a living, I'm always on the lookout for new brands that provide versatility, add a pop of color and have an empowering message. So when during NYFW this season I was introduced to an NYC-based shoe brand Alterre that encompasses...
Happy St.Patrick's Day Week! In honor of the holiday, today's #MarkdownMondays is all about different shades of green you can add to your outfit to avoid being pinched ;-) Green happens to be a great color for Spring as it sends messages of freshness, rebirth, cleanliness...
Spring is my favorite time of year. Besides the obvious reasons (weather getting warmer, longer days/more daylight, the feeling of new beginnings) it's also my Birthday season (Taurus here ;-) ) and the time of Spring fashion - which starts to pop up in stores...
Happy Monday! The weather in NYC this past week has really see-sawed, from 60 degree sun, to rain, sleet and snow, making me pull out just about every range of outfits from my wardrobe. What it has clearly shown though (along with the groundhog prediction)...

Happy Thanksgiving week, fellow fashionistas! It's one of my favorite holidays - when there is no pressure of gift-giving involved, and you can just enjoy time with family and friends. ...
As we're getting deeper into Fall and early Winter, and especially with the days getting shorter (Hello, Daylight Savings!), it's becoming harder and harder to find vitamin D between our early morning commutes in the dark and getting out of the office after the sun...
I really can't believe it's Halloween already (and the 31st of October!) With the weather messing around from hot to cold, it's difficult to settle on the ideal wardrobe picks - as most of us have probably already rotated our closets (especially those of us...
Whenever I go through someone's wardrobe as part of my Wardrobe/Closet Edit Service, we're always looking to construct a few outfits for various occasions that can become the "outfit formula" & serve as inspiration for creating more looks of a similar kind....
And just like that, we're in the middle of Fall, with leaves changing colors, days getting shorter and the chill setting in. There are so many things I love about Fall - like the pumpkin-spiced candles, mulled wine & apple cider and the feel of...
It's that "special" time in August when it's still unbearably hot outside, but the mood and retail scene start to lean closer to Fall. I find that it's important to have some transitional pieces in your wardrobe that can be perfect for this time so...
Even though it's August, I feel that it's still too early to throw in the proverbial (beach) towel - and there is still more beach and pool time to be had. Even though most stores are selling Pre-Fall in full swing, with Fall pieces coming...
It's finally warm out! This week's #MarkdownMondays is dedicated to the true element of Spring and Summer: shorts. This style edit brings you 5 pairs of shorts varying in dressiness, colors, textures and fit. ...
For this week's #MarkdownMondays, I decided to play around with some bold color combinations to create a look that had elements of both monochromatic and contrasting colors in various shades. I also mixed in other elements like pattern and texture to take the look to...

Happy Lunar New Year of the Fire Monkey, everyone! May it bring you prosperity, love, abundance, joy & peace. Even though the groundhog didn't see his shadow (or whatever the prediction is) and we're close to Spring, it still feels miles away with intermittent snow and...
The past few weeks' weather in NYC has been on a complete fritz with the snowstorm followed by 50 degree thaw-out, so I've been going between my super warm down coat and my lightweight leather jacket - switching them out almost every day. Today's #MarkdownMondays has...
Hope everyone had a safe and warm weekend in the North-East! We had a ton of snow in Brooklyn, but the wonderland seemed to only last one day, as Sunday everyone was busy shoveling and the pure white snow turned into gray slush in a...
Last week, I was given an exciting opportunity to get a private, after-hours tour of the Kate Spade NYC Fifth Avenue store to check out the new January collection, and get a sneak-peek at the Valentine's Day exclusive pieces. My photographer Rachael and I had so...
In addition to LMK Day, today is apparently a newly-recognized "holiday" called "Blue Monday" - which is statistically considered the most depressing day of the year, with the reality of excessive holiday shopping (resulting in expensive credit card bills), shorter daylight days and cold weather...
Welcome to the 2nd week of January - when the glitz of the holidays gets replaced with the pressure of New Year's resolutions ;-) Today's #MarkdownMondays will get you through the week with some fun & festive options that can create a variety of glamorous...

Happy Pre-Thanksgiving Monday, everyone! For today's #MarkdownMondays, I've picked out some pretty and feminine pieces that are both beautiful and comfortable....
Dresses are some of my favorite clothing pieces to wear - year-long. Each dress presents an outfit opportunity in itself - all you need are some accessories, and maybe a blazer or jacket for added warmth. Most dresses are tailored to be perfectly proportioned -...
I know it's only Monday, but I'm already thinking of next weekend and doing more pre-holiday exciting New York Stuff (this weekend, I shot my Modnitsa Styling Promo Video Series and checked out the Brooklyn Flea in Industry City with my hubby). I'm really not a...
I never used to like plaid and actually used to find it a bit sloppy and lazy. Until last month, when I picked up my first ever oversized plaid shirt at Anthropologie. I wore it every single day for 3 days straight (of course I did...
Today's #MarkdownMondays is all about jewelry. With this transitional weather and wearing lots of layers, I find it more and more important to bring cohesiveness to my outfits through accessories (a concept we wardrobe stylists call "linking"). Jewelry is an affordable and smart way to...
Today's #MarkdownMondays is all about coats. If you're a true New Yorker, you know that your coat is your car for the winter. It has to answer to a few different criteria - and these 4 coats (and 1 vest) in today's style edit all...

As we're nearing the end of September, leaving the Autumnal Equinox, Super Moon and Indian Summer behind, it's time to add some polish and refinement to our wardrobes. In today's #MarkdownMondays edition, I chose some calmer colors and polished fabrics to create a mix that is...
I woke up this morning to a chilly sunny day and the first thing I reached for was my cozy hoodie before coming up to our roof deck for breakfast. Every September, I go through a period of withdrawal, as I feel that I have...
Can you believe we're halfway done with September already? Today you can definitely feel an Autumn chill in the air, which calls for some cozier fabrics and long sleeves. In today's #MarkdownMondays edition, I chose some in-between-season items that all complement each other through color, fit,...
Even though I'm a believer in breaking the archaic fashion rule about wearing white after Labor Day (you can read my 5 arguments for the "why" and "how" in my previous post if you missed it), I still decided to dedicate today's #MarkdownMondays edition to...
I must say, after doing extensive research on why wearing white after Labor Day is such a fashion faux pas, I've come to the following 2 conclusions: 1. We no longer live in the world of snobbish fashionistas that dictate what we can and can't wear....
As we're nearing the end of summer, and most stores start bringing in their Fall collections, it's now an amazing opportunity to stock up on some key items for next year. I've searched the pre-labor day sales on some of my favorite retailers' sites, and bring...
As a personal stylist, I'm super passionate about accessories. I think they are often overlooked, but in my opinion can take your outfit to the next level - adding polish, color, bringing cohesiveness, and helping you tell a story (a concept we stylists call "linking")....
One more Monday till Labor Day, yikes! At least the weather outside couldn't be nicer, and it makes me think of exotic locales, pretty beaches and vibrant sunsets - all stuff great Summers are made of ;-) In today's #MarkdownMondays style digest, I've scoured my favorite retailers...
As we enter the last two weeks of August, and the air outside is thick with humidity, summer memories and the weight of still-to-do plans for the remaining summer weekends, it's only right to rely on light and airy clothes with prints and pastels to...
I have a love-hate relationship with August. On the one had, the air is warmer and full of ripeness, the sunsets are more saturated, and the day is still long. But on the other hand, there is a feeling of blue sadness in the air...
As we're in the midst of the dog days of summer and the intense heat & sun, I like to have a go-to summer ensemble to rely upon that can easily take me from daytime to evening without having to change. In today's #MarkdownMondays style digest,...
Summer is almost synonymous with beach and if you're lucky, and live near the coast like I do, you would take any chance possible to get away and spend some time by the water. In today's #MarkdownMondays style digest, I selected 5 summer accessories that will...
Dresses are the easiest summer outfit option - they create an instant "look", and can be taken from day to evening with just some shoes and accessories (and makeup!) Today's #MarkdownMondays style digest presents two of my favorite dresses, currently on sale, with two pairs of...
Summer capsule wardrobing is a very useful styling concept. It allows you to have a few pieces (think: lightweight summer travel bag) that all work together to create a multitude of outfits when shoes and accessories are added. Today's #MarkdownMondays style digest focuses on 5...
Being a fashion stylist, it’s difficult for me to stay loyal to a single piece of jewelry – I always have a new piece that I incorporate into my look. Of course, I have my “go to” pieces that I wear with certain outfits,...
I come from a family of very inspiring and strong women. Both my grandmothers went through a war, tough times and limitations. They both had very successful careers, where they managed to be leaders in their respective fields, innovators and forward-thinkers. But what stands out...
