Much as I like to dress up (and some have told me I dress like a diva not a blogger lol) I also love a simple and chic look that says a lot without saying much. 

Nothing enhances your effortlessness quite like a chambray shirt. Pull or roll up the sleeves for an added dose of ‘I didn’t try too hard’. It is a closet staple for me. Today I’m sporting an old chambray shirt from H&M and an old pair of perfectly gorgeous fuchsia pants from Phillip Lim that I am so obsessed with.

 I love a good pair of well tailored slacks, period! Who doesn't? I'm giving this one extra points for being Spring friendly. This pair also by Phillip Lim is fabulous as well as this, this and this. For under 50$ I think this and this  and also this at 25% off and this tummy slimming pair are total steals. 

With a belt to add some sparkle, cinch the waist and give that pulled together look, a light jacket (not pictured) to ward off the mild chill that we experienced in SF this week, my business casual look was complete. 

Pair your chambray shirt with white jeans or blue skinnies like this and this for a simple and perfect Spring outfit which I also did this week and may be showing soon. Denim on denim are after all the perfect partners you’d agree. Dress up your chambray with a pretty tulle skirt for that dainty and girly look. They are so versatile and a go to for most gals. 

Our beautiful gift from mother nature, roses in every which color are popping up everywhere and decorate almost every front yard so beautifully.
Everyone knows about my fascination with roses, even my young clients aka my students. What better way to add some floral delight to my ensemble than a bouquet of red roses. 

Hello darlings! Hope your week was great.

Trends trends trends, can’t live with them, can’t live without them. I’ve had statement making' sleeves on rotation for a minute. Styled one on the blog here and showing another look today. They add interest and def. make a look stand out more. 

I’m pretty sure you’ve seen this cool trend of extra long sleeves everywhere. They extend far below the regular length and come flared or even poufy sometimes. Street style has been abuzz with it and most 'it' girls are already on board. How about you? Sported one lately? No? Oh c’mon! You'll love it, I promise.

A slit that extends far above the regular allowed for practicality using my hands without an element of clumsiness while wearing this one. I paired it with black layered print cuff tapered pants and accessorized with a gold plate and chain belt, buckle top heels, a faux fox fur stole, a red bag (my new favorite clutch, I keep reaching for it, lol) for some color pop and was ready to burst a move. I have to admit I looked effortlessly stylish. 

Hello FI readers!
What are your thoughts on this simplistic chic look? 

On my Facebook fan page, (please like if you haven’t), I’m celebrating 100K fans this week (dancing emoji) and the messages I receive the most are to show my work looks and a different hair style. What better way to celebrate this milestone than to give my wonderful readers what they have asked for? I'll start a new 'Work Flow’ series and every so often I’ll post my work look. I hope you enjoy this new series. Ummm, I’ll also work on the hair style, hehe.
