Top Summer Picks: Quilted Koala

By Elma Beganovich

I have been looking for a perfect summer bag, which is very light to carry and soft to the touch, and I think I just discovered something great: Quilted Koala! I stumbled upon this beautiful online boutique and thought the duffel bags would be perfect for summer weekend getaways and even my everyday workouts.

Below, I am ready for my late spring/early summer getaway to escape the bustling and noisy streets of New York City. The duffel bag I am wearing is perfect to take on any road trip: light (easy to pick-up), extremely roomy and made of fine quality material. The fabric is beautiful and the design is colorful and joyful. Also, since I workout everyday, this bag is perfect to take to your pilates or yoga class; it can easily fit change of clothes, your makeup bag, and even your tennis rackets. 

There you have it fashionistas, this is definitely one of my summer favorites! (Outfit details: denim dress from Zara; floppy hat from Forever21; sandals by Fendi; and duffel bag from Quilted Koala.) Until next time, xoxo from New York!

How to Rock Your Sneakers Outside the Gym

Image
By Kati Miller Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that sportswear is the new “it” trend this season. But pairing sneakers with our everyday outfits can seem like quite a daunting task, especially when we’re not wearing just jeans and a tee. Here is a list of suggestions on how to wear this fashion trend and stay stylish while keeping comfortable with this new style... 1. Ditch the chunky shoe for cult trainers. Don’t be afraid to wear a nice pair of cult trainers or saddle shoes as a light alternative to a chunky shoe. Hogan makes an adorable pair of wing tips and Nike makes a much more affordable version of the mesh cults as well. This style works especially well with dresses, skirts, and skinnies! The Lovely Pepa (Spanish fashion blogger) 2. Clashing Colors. Dark and light hues now go together!  Contrary to what you have been taught in the past, clashing colors is not only in but it’s the must have look.  Try to incorporate a color from your outfit into the ...

How to Decorate Your Home For Fall

By Avery Carruthers Who here is sad that summer is quickly coming to an end? I don't know about you, but as the days come to a close, I become more and more excited for fall! In Seattle, fall is an amazing time of year that I often welcome with open arms. The air is crisp, the leaves turn brown, and the pumpkin spice lattes are in full effect (even though they came early this year).  However, I understand that not everyone is as eager for fall as I am. For some, fall represents the beginning of a new school year, or the transitioning of one job to another. Nonetheless, I am here to challenge all of YOU to stop dreading autumn and to EMBRACE it! Through these helpful home interior design pieces, hopefully they will help you look forward to the new season.  How to Decorate Your Home For Fall: 1.) Pumpkins  I could go on and on about my love for pumpkins. You name it, from the pumpkin patch to carving a pumpkin for Halloween, I go all out. Thanks to Pinterest, there are some...

Charlie Chaplin: My Style Icon

Image
By Elma B. I have always been a huge fan of the the Charlie Chaplin era, particularly the style from his iconic films  The Tramp (1915) and The Modern Times (1936). The legendary films were dominated by wide legged pants and bowler hats. I added my own modern twist to the look by including these wide legged overalls with polkadots; white sneakers, all the rage this season; and a simple white tank top. (Outfit details below...) My Style Inspiration: Charlie Chaplin While the classics, like the Charlie Chaplin films, remain a definite influence and an inspiration on my style choices, I always throw-in the everyday modern pieces. Who inspires your everyday style? Leave a comment below, I love hearing from you! Until next time, xoxo from the Upper West Side of Manhattan!
