Animal print autumn

Hi there!

This has been by far one of the prettiest New England autumns with the foliage and weather. I’ve been very inspired by cashmere and animal print so I wanted to post this look!

I found the black and cream cheetah print skirt at a small NY boutique but the brown and cream cheetah one on the last couple pictures is from Vici Dolls, and they have a very similar dark print one to the one I wore in the first few photos! My LiketoKnow.it account has some similar ones linked too!

I went with a tan cashmere sweater by Halogen from Nordstrom over the skirt that I slightly tucked in, and an oldie but goodie pair of Vince Camuto black and gold moto booties (now on sale)! I also styled the look with Vince Camuto grey heeled boots (mine aren’t available anymore so a similar one is linked here and on LiketoKnow.it). The faux fur black sleeveless vest is a Vera Wang for Kohls from some time ago, so I’ve linked a similar one:)

In the Vici Dolls brown and cream animal print look from the last couple photos I’m wearing a black Nordstrom brand turtleneck and an oldie but goodie grey suede moto jacket from Nordstrom by Vigoss. I’m wearing a small in everything and I’m 5’6” for reference. Check out this look-alike by Blank NYC!

If you guys ever have questions on brands or links message me either here or email me through my website as you’ve done before, or through my Instagram @carolinasantosread which is usually how I hear from you, and I love hearing from you!

I hope everyone is as excited for Halloween as I am! I’m off to Miami tomorrow for a vacation and work trip.

It’s Spring! Spring Dress Fever

In my Free People for Nordstrom yellow dress and oldie but goodie Arezzo wedges from Brazil while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 

Hi there! 

I just got back from a beautiful resort vacation and it’s now Spring (ignoring our current snowstorm situation haha). Naturally every Spring I look forward to Spring dresses and this Free People dress for Nordstrom is gorgeous and right on trend.  It’s also on sale since I got it!

I’m currently loving the feminine silhouette of an off the shoulder dress and bell sleeves and this dress combines both. With the rouched fabric at the waist and sleeves it also gives a beautiful silhouette in the waistline, coming out with a billowy skirt. I frolicked around in Mexico in it and can’t wait to wear it this Spring into Summer!

Cozy Knits & Winter White

Wearing my Tobi Give Love Sweater Dress , Gucci belt, Blank NYC vegan leather pants and Sorel boots (the latter two from Nordstrom). In the first two photos I wore my Simply Vera by Vera Wang faux fur vest also. Photographed by Meghan Asselta in the New York Palace Hotel. 

Hi there!

I recently started to work with Tobi clothing, and have fallen in love with some of the beautiful pieces they sent me. In this post I styled the gorgeous Tobi Give Love Sweater Dress a perfect winter white cozy cold shoulder knit that I belted with my Gucci belt for a night on the town that is casual yet slightly dressy. I finished the look with my Blank NYC vegan leather pants and Sorel boots (both from Nordstrom). Once stepping inside for dinner or wherever the night takes me I might opt for a pump or not if I’m going to a movie for example!

Another thing I just love about Tobi is how affordable their pieces are and they don’t look inexpensive.  Stay tuned for more Tobi looks coming up. So excited to share them with you! They are @shoptobi on Instagram.

Happy shopping!

The London Look

Hi there!

I was recently in London, and thought I would call this post the London Look because in London you always have to be prepared for any weather to hit. It was mostly warm but got chilly, so my Ted Baker dress with Aldo loafer mule flats transitioned from a comfortable daytime look to a night look with a little lipstick plus adding a moto jacket like my lavender one by Blank NYC for Nordstrom for the chilly moments and evenings, or a little drizzle. I finished the look with sunnies and my Celine Nano Luggage Tote bag, a favorite. 

As it has started to cool ever so slightly in New York, I thought this was the perfect post as we go from Summer into Fall soon. Don't worry there's plenty more summer beach days ahead, but this look is perfect for when the evenings start to cool off!

Ted Baker and Nordstrom always have the best options for all seasons too!

Vegan Leather, Faux Suede & Winter Neutrals

In my Catherine Malandrino faux suede grey over the knee boots, Nordstrom vegan leather skinny jeans, white Free People sweater (now on sale), and Valentino rock stud bag at the movies. Photography by Francisco Graciano. 

Hi there, 

 I recently purchased some gorgeous things on the Nordstrom site, including the outfit in this post. I scored the Catherine Malandrino thigh high faux suede grey boots at a Nordstrom Rack.  The link here is for the black ones but the grey are available at Nordstrom Rack and they were a steal! I went with black and neutrals for this look beginning with the grey boots, and I paired the boots with my new Hue leatherette (aka vegan leather) black leggings from Nordstrom online as well as a Free People winter white sweater tunic with bell sleeves which is now on sale. It can be worn with any tank underneath and it so comfortable, cozy, and stylish. 

In the winter I love to be warm and cozy as well as stylish, and this look utilizes different textures but with a dressy, elegant finish. The faux leather leggings even have a warm fuzzy lining inside too! Perfect for a date night like my recent date night to the movies with Francisco, when we went to see La La Land. I also wore my fuzzy free people winter white scarf for more layering and texture and my black long puffy coat from Guess. 

I hope you're staying warm, cozy, and stylish!
