New York "Chic" Style

Being obsessed with fashion and living in San Antonio, Texas are not the two best qualities to contend with. However, when I do catch myself on my "fashion grind", I notice I get quite a number of looks. Not in a judgmental way (which I tend to achieve sometimes as well), I am talking the "wow I love her outfit" stares. This occurs because I dress like a true Manhattan citizen.

I find myself drawn to clothes resembling the City that Never Sleeps. The style is elegant and chic, yet different and slightly edgy. Those words describe the fashion I love. The desire to be elegant and live in New York City is runs through my mind every time I get dressed. So for now I focus on what Armani once said:

"Elegance is not about being noticed, it's about being remembered." - Giorgio Armani

Dressing chic in a city with little to no fashion world is pretty difficult and so is finding inspiration for outfits. Majority of the time, I find myself resorting to Vogue or other magazines. These magazines tend to acquire the New York City Flare I desire.

My outfit today perfectly embodies everything I desire through a life lived in fashion. Chic and edgy, but still sophisticated, yet drawing in the hint of New York Street Style.

My pinstriped top is one I luckily found yesterday at the ever so fashionable Zara. It is pretty unique because it is a little shorter than most blouses, making it a crop top, but with a unique cut. My jeans are high rise skinny pants from the brand STS Blue, which are unbelievably comfortable. The shoes I wore are cobalt pumps from Steve Madden. To add a pop of color besides just blue, I paired a pink / coral necklace and some super cute sunglasses from a boutique style store called Francesca's.

Here is what it looks like on:

I hope you find inspiration through this to not be worried to stand out and exhibit your personal style while still feeling chic and fashion forward.

Beating the Summer Heat

Hello Trenders and Happy Father's Day! Since summer is upon us, the temperatures are rising and the sun seems brighter. It is hard to look cute in the summer without burning up from the heat. Today's outfit is a good look for beating the summer heat, but also looking fashionable.

My shirt is a plain white crop top from Charlotte Russe. The jean high waisted shorts I am wearing are from Abercrombie & Fitch. To finish off the look with a more casual sense, I used a pair of high top gray Converse.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. If you have not already, check out my post about the H&M grand opening! I had a blast doing interviews and talking to the shoppers.

What is your favorite activity to beat the summer heat?
XOXO
