 style-equation-winter-weather-dressing-cold-weather-dressing-what-to-wear-when-its-cold It's Fashion Week here in New York and though this should be the time of high style, I'm seeing some sartorial choices that have left me scratching my head. Style is totally personal and we can all rock what we want, but I'm absolutely baffled by women who are foregoing warmth for style. The temperatures are below zero, but I've seen fashionistas in open toe sandals and light layers. Um, no!
Ladies, style and warmth can coexist. I previously did a Style Equation feature {quick fashion combos that make it easy to get dressed!} last year, but now is the time to resurrect it. Check out the 5 style essentials you need to get dressed in the cold weather. I promise, you'll be warm and cute!

strawberry-fitting-room-fast-fashion-houndstooth-crop-top-fitted-dress Last week I had a few minutes of down time so I did something I haven't done in about a year and a half. I went to Strawberry. If you don't know what Strawberry is or totally forgot they existed, Strawberry is an affordable retailer in the northeast that's comparable to Forever 21 and Wet Seal. The pieces are trendy and wallet friendly. And I used to always {and I do mean always!} shop there when I first moved to NYC.Fast forward a few years and the pieces are still trendy and the prices are affordable for the most part. Check out what I found, including the most adorable, ladylike skirt and how to know when to walk away from a cheap chic find.

I love a good clothing swap party. Seriously, it's the best way to update your style without spending a single penny. I've previously shared some swap tips, but I wanted to go one step further and focus on the guests. Specifically who you should invite for the most successful, glamorous swap event. These are the ladies who will bring the goods!

winter-outfit-what-i-wore-this-winter-looking-fly-on-a-dime It's cold in New York. Let me add it's cold and there's snow on the ground. Though we dodged a blizzard this week, it's still pretty frigid out. A few weeks ago I told you about the importance of a statement winter coat and it's the only garment you need to buy this season.Well, I'll add winter accessories to the list as well. These are the add-ons that will keep you warm and chic! Oh, and since my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is over, I finally went shopping and bought my first brand new item in a year!

While I love a good black skinny jean, I absolutely hate shopping for jeans. Well, I'm not a fan of shopping for pants, in general. I always have the issue with them being too long and the waist always gaps. *sigh*
However, I have found a few brands I love {Forever 21, Hudson and Rock & Republic for Kohl's!}, and if you're still struggling, here are a few tips to use when shopping for jeans. These are the fitting room do's and don'ts of denim shopping.
