A Week’s Worth of Looks…to Boot!

This week’s worth of looks are centered around a great pair of flat, tall riding boots. I’m not a ‘flats girl’, but tall riding boots seem to work a lot of different ways and when paired with something fitted, seem to scream undercover glam! Shopping List: Tan, tall riding boots - by Maurice ($150) Gold metallic [...]

My Love For Leather Continues…

Perfect with any fall outfit, leather outerwear always provides great abng-for-the-buck!   A blazer is an easy way to spice up jeans and a tee, or monochromatic black especially during cooler weather   This is a little pricey but nothing provides curated style and edginess faster than a leather dress   Because of the ponte [...]

Part of @DailyBuzzStyle’s Top 9 Look at Leather

Blueprint for Style got selected as one of the Top 9 for DailyBuzzStyle‘s Lovely Leather post. Check it all 9: my two favorites are Fashionista‘s post about Pierre Balmain’s new lower priced collection and Manolos and Martini’s look at the leather dress trend.

Leather and Lace

Biker chic meets demure lady — is it possible? Of course, it just depends how far to one side or the other you wanna go. I like this look because it takes a ladylike lace top and edgy faux leather jacket by Velvet; and offers a Friday business casual look (with straight leg black pants) [...]

Lustful Leather

This season, I am lusting after just about anything with leather and this leather sleeve blazer by DSquared2 is no different. The notch collar, flap pockets and puffy shoulders make this a savvy selection for date night, an after-hours business meeting, or a Saturday late afternoon museum walk. Do you love it….or what? If the [...]

It’s a Cinch!

I am forever telling and showing my clients how you can quickly change up the look of your outfit by adding a belt…and now Vince Camuto has a few new ones in stock!  My favorite is the snake stretch belt ($55) that comes in black or brown.

Luxe Leather Lusciousness

Depending on your job, this jacket can cover Friday business casual to hump-day date to Saturday afternoon about-the-town.  This Vince cowl neck leather jacket ($880) is in the season’s hauteness hue of camel, has extra long sleeves, a touch of spandex to keep it fitted, and an asymmetrical closing that creates a little ‘forgiveness’ near the midsection. [...]

Like It, Love It, or Lose It?

Wink NYC recently did a post about this Generation Love fake leather (“fleather”) sweatshirt…what do you think?  Personally, I love it and crave it – I don’t wear sweatshirts but this is a truly adult version that works for weekends and weeknights out on the town! I would wear it with leggings, no jewelry and [...]
