Style Picks by Andrea

WHY I would buy it and HOW I would style it!
I have a pretty eclectic style and taste, I love everything from bohemian to classic!

One of my favorite fashion quotes is: "When a woman says, ‘I have nothing to wear!’, what she really means is, ‘There’s nothing here for who I’m supposed to be today." - Caitlin Moran

However, I do tend to go for color, and I am always looking for something either really unique or practical about an item. When considering buying something I also think about how I would style it and when and where I would actually wear the item. If I can't think of more than three ways to style it or when I would wear it, then I usually pass on the item. Here are a few of my favorites this week, and the reasons WHY I would buy it and HOW I would style it!

1. Chanel Floral Top
It's SO fun! I love feminine embellishments that are a bit funky and unique! Pair it with a cigarette-style pant, a kitten heel or ballet flat to keep the focus all up on this top! And well, it's Chanel.

Buy it: Chanel Floral Top

2. Prada Carry All Tote
The perfect structured carry-all bag for all your work or travel essentials! A bag that can get you through airport security and a full-day excursion when you may need more than just a phone.

Buy it: Prada Carry All Canvas Tote

3. Striped Sleeveless Top
Sometimes you just need a simple, classic chic shirt to throw on with jean shorts or cotton/linen pants and a pair of slip-on sandals or stylish sneakers and be out the door! (I actually already have a shirt just like, it's my quick, casual go-to!)

Buy it: Loro Piano Top

4. Lanvin Sneakers
Stylish white sneakers are the new classic that every wardrobe needs. Practical, comfortable, and chic! Can be worn with shorts, jeans, skirts and everything in between!

Buy It: Lanvin Sneakers

5. Chloe Sunglasses
These sunglasses are a nice minimalist grey and I love the dainty gold heart detailing on the sides.

Buy It: Chloe Sunglasses


6. Isabel Marant Fanny Pack
A stylish fanny pack for travel, running errands, chasing toddlers or dog walking! I have two dogs, and I always need my phone and keys with me so this is the perfect little bag to be able to be hands free wherever you're going!

Buy It: Isabel Marant Fanny Pack

7. Oscar De La Renta
This is a gorgeous knit shrug that is great to wear over a summer dress if the evening gets cool. It's also a beautiful color for the fall and a fantastic transition piece from summer to fall, styling it with a pair of bootcut/flare denim and wedges or ankle boots!

Buy it: Oscar De La Renta Knit Shrug

8. Christian Dior
It's a Christian Dior Kaleidiorscopic handbag! You'd be walking around carrying a work of art. I also love it because it reminds me of all the Modernism architecture, stained glass windows and mosaic tiles in Barcelona! 

Buy It: Christian Dior Kaleidiorscopic Handbag

9. J. Mendel Dress
A classy little black dress for many occasions! I love the leather and peplum combination, it's sophisticated, and elegant with just a bit of edge. Such a power dress.

Buy It: J. Mendel Dress

10. Ferragamo Heels
Gorgeous patent leather black heel, a classic wardrobe necessity! I love these because they remind my little girl Maryjanes, but a sophisticated adult version!

Buy It: Ferragamo Peep Toe Heels

11. Max Mara Top

Halter tops are one of my favorite styles of tops, (my arms are my favorite body part) and this one would look like a moving piece of modern art. I'd tuck this top into high-waisted black pants with a belt!
