Style Taylor Made


My latest style crush is Marie Claire Accessories Editor Taylor Tomasi Hill. Hill's deeply personal; part urban eclectic, part luxe style is mind blowing. She possesses the kind of style I strive for daily, but never seem to achieve. Every Fashion Week she knocks it out of the park and this year has been no exception. For Spring I plan to experiment with some of the key elements of her looks below:

1) Sneakers and Skirts- Hill combines comfort and chic in these standout looks.  The studded Loubs are killing, the utility skirt with tulle is feminine and edgy at once, and the Grey outfit with hints of Turq is divine. This is hands down the look I am most excited to try. 



2) Longer Hemlines- Hill proves that longer hemlines don't have to be dowdy. In fact with the right styling they are downright sexy. Add a killer heel or a little leather, leopard, or lace to do the trick.





3) Splashes of Color- Color is huge for spring and Hill demonstrates how to work it into your look with ease. Go bold with an oversized blazer or add a hint of interest and fun with a colorful clutch. In both cases Hill keeps her look balanced by pairing color with neutrals and keeping the overall look sharp by picking tailored silhouettes.





4) No Nonsense Neutrals- In my book you can never go wrong with neutrals. Hill's pairing of interesting silhouettes in neutral whites, blacks, greys, and olives (my favorite “new” neutral) creates a look that appears effortless as well as chic.

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

Theres nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire you,
Lets here it for New York, New York, New York

I love, love, love Jay-Z. Alycia Keys is pretty dope as well, but I think I love New York City even more.
I will be touching down in the Empire State in T-20 days and I can't wait!
