Get the Look: Minimal Chic

Today I am honored to have my good friend and New York PR powerhouse Victoria Natenzon with us sharing a few effortless fall ensembles with versatile pieces from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.   Vicky and I met soon after I relocated to NYC and she's the type of person you naturally gravitate towards.  She lights up any room or party she enters and is full of kindness and warmth.  Her PR firm represents a few big NY brands and bloggers and knows all the latest and greatest when it comes to fashion, food, and beauty.  She keeps me in the New York know and always is impeccably dressed. That's why I was thrilled she obliged when I asked her to put together a look or two for the upcoming season:

Left Look:  Leonard II Round Sunglasses $173.90/T-Shirt $19/Hudson Nico Skinny Jeans $134.90/Vince Camuto Lace Up Pumps $79.90/

Middle Accessories: Thea Adjustable Lariat Necklace $49.90/Tory Burch Black Robinson Handbag $295/Pave Bracelet $59.90/Pink Lips Set $50

Right Look: Faux Leather Jacket $98/Jogger Pants $29.90/Sam Edelman Tonia Spike Heels $110/

I love the downtown “model” chic look. It’s so versatile!  All you have to do is switch out a couple elements and you can wear the outfit to work, dinner, or out on the town. With the leather jacket as the key piece, you can pair it with the black ripped jeans and a classic pair of pointy toe pumps. Wear it with the white t-shirt for a more casual look or with a black t-shirt so it appears to be a little dressier. I love dainty jewelry so you can pair the look with a simple, pretty necklace and a delicate bracelet. 

For a really cool, but slightly more “daring” look, try switching out the black jeans with the grey lounge pants.  It’s something a little funkier for a downtown, casual dinner with girlfriends.

If you’re anything like me, you can’t leave the house without your sunnies. I’m a little too obsessed with these Illesteva cuties. I purchased a pair three years ago and haven’t let them go since. My style constantly changes and I get sick of things rather quickly, but I recently had to re-purchase this pair because I just love them so much!

Last but not least – makeup. I’m a beauty girl at heart. I’ve worked in beauty my whole life and you’ll rarely find me completely barefaced. In recent months I’ve definitely toned down my beauty routine, but I still have a few non-negotiables. Eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. I can’t live without my felt-tip liners to create the perfect cat eye and red lipstick that’s basically the perfect accessory for any outfit. Although, I’m not gonna lie – the nude lip trend as well as a soft pink look has totally been growing on me and I’m absolutely crushing on this amazing Bobbi Brown set from the sale!
