StyleBurbia

The Joe Fresh flagship store opened near my office a couple of Fridays ago. I had posted some of their clothes on my spring shopping list , so I had to check it out.  I ended up picking up a couple of dresses , a couple t-shirts , a couple button-downs , a pair of colored jeans  and a pair of shorts . We had a meeting in Burbia to check out a preschool for our older son, H.  See how I styled my new Joe Fresh dress for our meeting. Dress: Joe Fresh , Coat: J. Crew (old), Boots: BP Runway boot from Nordstrom , Bag: Miu Miu , Necklace: J. Crew (old), Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren (old) see similar here , Watch: Armitron (not Michael Kors or real gold- based on comments I get all the time. lol)  The kids, hubby and I are all going on vacation with my parents, my sister and her husband, my father-in-law, one of my husband's brothers and a few of our friends who also have kids.  It's going to be a huge crew and hopefully a huge amount of fun....

I'll preface this post by saying that all of the items that I am going to include are more for weekend wear.  I think most men look good in the basic button-down and slacks for the office.  So, let's focus on the more fun stuff. Let's start with outerwear. This jacket can be worn over anything- a t-shirt, button-down, sweater, pants or jeans.  It's basic and simple, but looks good with everything and on everyone.  J.Crew Fatigue Jacket  T-shirts Guys, this is super easy.  Just don't wear them too baggy or too tight. We ladies want to be able to see the outline of your physique without actually seeing it.  Keep us guessing.  It's all about the intrigue.   ;)   J.Crew broken in tee  Polos Again. Si...

With the weather yesterday in NYC, you would swear we were in the middle of winter, but before we know it, spring will REALLY be here.  That's why I'm working on my spring shopping list, so that I will be prepared when spring truly graces us with its presence. So, here's what's on my list: 1) Crisp white shirt  Stretch perfect shirt Not much to say about this.  It's classic.  It goes with everything- pants, skirts, jeans and shorts.   It should always be a staple in your wardrobe. See a budget-friendly version here at Joe Fresh. 2) Gingham button down JCrew Perfect shirt in mini-gingham Cute, girly and sweet, but still professional enough that you can wear it to work.  I'll be paring mine with trousers and pencil skirts during the week and white jeans during the weekend.  This would also look super cute with cut off shorts or bermudas depending on your preference when it comes to the length of y...
