Lemonade

You guys know the saying “When you love something, buy it in every color”. Well I say when you love something buy it in every color AND buy it twice if need be. I know you’re probably thinking “huh Star?” but yes I’m serious. These shoes I am absolutely in love with this season. So, I went out and bought them in taupe and black (see previous posts). O! and this two piece well it’s actually just two of the same shirt. GENIUS! I know, I know I try just a little lol lol just kidding. I thought it would be cute to step out the box a little and try something different and I love the way it turned out.

Can I Get A Two Piece?

One thing I absolutely love about the summer is throwing on a simple two piece and heading out for lunch, or dinner or breakfast. (I’m hungry while typing this lol) This city seriously has some of the best spots to grab a bite to eat. Sometimes I wish getting dressed up, laughing with friends and spending unnecessary money could be my full time job. Vain… a tad bit but who wouldn’t want that lifestyle J On a more serious note, I grabbed this 2 piece from Zara recently and I love how versatile it is. I can throw this number on with sneakers or sandals and I can dress it up with heels. This will definitely be on repeat so don’t say I didn’t tell you so.

The Center

Hey my fashion lovers I’m back and on top of the bed of a huge truck! Why not!!! Live a little! Lately I have been sticking to very simple tones and patterns, white and black to be exact. I’m a firm believer you dress how you feel and as of late I guess you can say I’ve been wanting to keep things very simple. Why? Because you’re the happiest in life when you don’t have the dramas of the world weighing you down, whether it be work, relationships, and/or family. You have to always find your center in the midst of those stressors and do what’s best for you. Remember you will always burn yourself out worrying about everyone else’s happiness but your own! While everyone else worries about what’s beneficial to themselves.

 Often times keeping it simple can be very difficult however, anything or anyone that does not add value to your life or allow you to grow you have to cut it off and find your peace. That does not mean it won’t hurt but in the end it’s the best thing for you. Find what makes you truly happy, like ice cream on a hot day, finding money in your pocket when you’re broke, flowers from your secret admirer, a hug, a kiss, or simply snagging the last pair of shoes you’ve been wanting online! Simplicity at its best. 

NYFW

Whew…it has definitely been awhile. Hi…Hello… my name is Starema and I’m a fashion blogger lol just kidding. It’s been so long I feel like I have to reintroduce myself J. I hope all has been well with you all. As for me busy, busy, busy hence the reason why you guys haven’t seen much of me. I guess you could say I took a short hiatus from blogging since I’ve moved. I haven’t blogged nearly as much this year as I did previously. But….scouts honor I’m back at it for you guys J

Speaking of New York and moving can you believe this week marks my one year anniversary as an official “New Yorker” and boy let me tell you, I have learned so many new things, not only about myself but others as well. While the constant hustle and bustle of New York City can be overbearing at times, even for some of my friends who were born and raised here. I can truly say I never regret the decision I made to move. One of the best decisions I have ever made for so many different reasons.

Now…. Enough of my rambling let’s get to the good stuff. “Fashion”. Well, as you know NYFW was last week, and what a great time to be living in this city. I attended several events and had an awesome time meeting new faces. Below check out my looks for each day.

Day 1

I decided to keep things simple but with a tiny touch of sass. So I threw on this sheer skirt from Express which you can also see me rocking HERE, with my favorite black crop top. My top hat added that extra bit of spunk, while I opted for these black buckled booties for my feet. I knew I would be doing a lot of walking Day 1 so they definitely kept me comfortable.

Day 2

Talk about “Easy Chic”! When I laid my eyes on this Orangina suede number with satin shoulder appliqués I just knew I had to have it. The dress/shirt was so comfortable but did not compromise style which is always a great thing. I paired it with a navy blue top hat to compliment the orange color scheme and my favorite butter cream booties .I loved how the look was so effortless and gives the “My Boyfriends Shirt” type of vibe. Easy and Effortless!

Day 3

Think “Sporty Spice” I enjoyed how the two piece jacket/skort was so versatile and could be dressed up with heels or dressed down with sneakers which I opted for. Because it was pouring raining in NYC this day I wanted to go for a head wrap that made a subtle statement. Taking this look from standard to stunning.

Day 4

Call me “Florina” I love these floral pants I snagged at Zara a few seasons back. I was trying to go for a little sexy sass with the no shirt vibes, but to be honest with you guys this wasn’t my favorite look of the week. I would say “Meh”.

Day 5

I could live in this checkered onsie if I really wanted to. Such an easy piece to throw on with sneakers and dress up with a simple pair of heels and clutch. I will definitely be wearing this again for Fall & Winter.

Day 6

Big Bird couldn’t win a color block battle with me even if he wanted to. This day I decided to celebrate summer with a color blocked co-ord set look that I loved. I scored this yellow duster at a local vintage store about a year ago. The shorts were a summer Zara find that matched perfectly and, believe it or not my shirt was created by me.

Day 7

“Black-Out”….I decided to revisit  Day 1 with black and sheer, for the last day of fashion week.

Black-n-White

I’m back… I know I have been M.I.A for about 2 weeks, I had been battling a cold that had me out for a few days. All I was eating was chicken noodle soup and lots of orange juice. I think it’s the change of the seasons that had me under the weather. I’m feeling a lot better now still have a sniffley nose but I managed to take some time out to shoot a few pictures the other day. Blogging always seems to make the day better even when battling a cold.

On the flip side of things, I picked up these killer Steve Madden booties about a week ago. I was so excited when I  received them in the mail, because I was kinda  stalking the site since their release. Don’t judge me! Their rugged, have a great platform, and lace up past the ankles. My kind of bootie. Not to mention they scream PUNK! Which is normally not my style but it’s always good to switch things up every now and then. I have some exciting news to announce in the next few days so stay tuned for what’s to come. In the meantime, in between time enjoy today’s post.  Xoxo

Honesty

Before us lie two paths- honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth;  in helping others we help ourselves; and in hurting others we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money and lust. Trust rises above fame. Honesty is the best policy.

Top Hats

When I stumbled upon this hat a few weekends ago I knew I had to have it. I mean come on look at how awesome it is. Although this is definitely a Fall/Winter piece I thought it would be kind of cool to jazz up this outfit. You guys will definitely be seeing this quite a lot throughout the Fall and Winter so don’t be mad if it shows up quite a lot in posts to come.

On another note, this weekend is Labor Day weekend whooooo hooooooo!!! I don’t have any concrete plans set but I’m definitely excited to see what the weekend has in store for me. To keep up follow me on instagram @MsStarStyles. Toodles….
