A Romantic Look with a Hint of Floral

It’s always exciting to find a cool statement piece as a starting point for a new outfit.  At the heart of this look, you’ll find an ivory midi skirt, detailed with a hint of floral (Similar Here).  I fell in love with this soft romantic piece immediately, as well as how the petals cascade down the skirt. The vertical pleats in the skirt lengthen the look of your legs and the light wispy tulle layer is perfect for summer.  It flows beautifully when slightly caught by the breeze.

I wanted to keep the skirt the focus of the ensemble.  So, I styled the look with a simple delicate tee (Similar Here), in the same blush tone as the petals on the skirt.  The lightweight feel keeps it appropriate for hot days. Plus, the jersey fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable.

Thankfully, I just bought these adorable Pink Steve Madden Born heels (similar here) for a wedding in June! They are timeless, modern, pair perfectly with the embroidered blossoms, and compliment the gentle nature of the overall look.

To maintain the floral tone, I threw on a pair of flower earrings (Similar Here), from Lou Lou Boutique in Philly, and completed the outfit with a rosy pair of sunnies.  This outfit is perfect for brunch with the gals, church, a dinner date on vacation, or even a hitting up a winery!  How will you wear it?

Laid Back in All Black

This spring season’s weather has been crazy!  When it’s 80 degrees and sunny one day and 60 degrees and raining the next it’s difficult to judge what to wear!  Luckily, no matter what season, you can’t go wrong laid back in an all black look!  The fun part is spicing it up to show off those red locks!

I chose to sport this laid back look with a light H&M cold shoulder top with bell selves and a pair of high waisted H&M black jeans.  Unfortunately, I have short legs, so I often wear bottoms that are high waisted in order to give them an elongated feel.  I chose to pair them with these killer Calvin Klein Elin loafers.  Patent leather is making a huge comeback!  Additionally, the shine gives the ensemble a little texture.

SIDE NOTE: All black really makes red hair pop don’t you think?

My favorite part of this outfit is hands down this western floral Nasty Gal belt bag.  The new age fanny packs are back on trend, and I couldn’t be more happy! Who wants to carry a purse all the time anyway? lol. Together, this outfit is comfortable and classic with a modern twist.

Spring Sweater Style

I love when the weather is sunny and crisp at 65-70 Degrees! It’s not cold enough for a winter coat (thank God) and not humid enough to ruin my curls!  It’s the perfect time of year to amp up your spring sweater style!

Light tones finally have their time to shine in the Spring, like this textured knit sweater I’m wearing from H&M.  It may look thick, but it’s actually quite airy.  In the shade, it’s still a little chilly, so I paired the sweater with a heather grey trench I snagged from a consignment shop.  In my opinion, this tone of grey is the most comfortable color to wear.  Maybe it’s because it resembles my favorite sweat pants, but regardless, it’s a comfy and chic color.

Lastly, I finished the outfit with a light wash of Kensie denim jeans and my new favorite slingbacks, the Lailey’s, by Marc Fisher.  The silver color matches the jacket and the metallic finish gives the outfit a little pop!

Girl Boss Vibes

Happy snowy spring! Hopefully, this will be my last snow shoot of the year.  Ladies, it’s time to take the girl boss vibe to a whole new level!  For an important meeting last week, I wanted to feel strong and confident!  To accomplish this, I wore this classic grey J. Crew wool suit.  A good suit is modern, refined, and currently all over the runway.  Personally, I love the fit and the monochromatic color.

To make the suit stand out, I detailed the outfit with touches of black seen in my  H&M hat, my handbag and my argyle socks from J.Crew.  I’m definitely ready to put away my coats, but I appropriately dressed for the weather in a London Fog wool cognac coat and a pair of warm black leather gloves.

Sometimes all you need is an empowering outfit to bring out the fearlessness inside you.  Thankfully, this brought my confidence up to rock it out in the  meeting!

F/W NYFW 2018 Recap | Part 2

Girl in all red with skyline and coat flowing in breeze

As I said in F/W NYFW 2018 Part 1, many designers this season put a huge focus on strong, empowering women, bringing back the 1980’s inspired power suits and bold colors.  Daringly, I chose an all red outfit to harmonize with the designers theme. Anyone who says redheads can’t wear red is wildly mistaken!

Girl in all read looking at camera with hands in pockets

I snagged the pants, sweater, shoes, and hoop earrings at H&M and the Jacket was a fantastic find at Buffalo Exchange! Obviously, to finish the look, I did a vivid red lip.  This ensemble fit right in at the Colour by Nandi Madida show.  The designers collaboration represented power suits, structured materials and bold colors.

Since it was a rainy NYC day, I chose to do a sleek street look for the Ennyluap show.  I mixed my black shirt and high-waisted pants with a KILLER Army green jacket from Express.  I finished the look with a pair of thigh high brown boots from Forever 21, hoops from H&M, and did a simple pony.

For the Negris Lebrum show, I channeled Chanel with a check dress, over-the-knee boots and a long velvet trench.  Additionally, I added a bunch of pearls, to soften the look, and combined a belt and hat to bring the black color throughout the entire outfit.  I also sported my favorite Polo Ralph Lauren cross body.

The Ennyluap show was most certainly my favorite show I attended.  Her whole line was cohesive and unique.  She blended the modern independent woman with vintage tones from the 50’s and 60’s seamlessly.

The last show that I attended this season was the Negris Lebrum show.  He also had a mod 1960’s theme to his accessories.  The focus was on the rounded sunglasses, colorful shoes, and buckled handbags.

Thank you all for the amazing support and being with me step by step as I was debuting She’s Red Haute to NYFW and I can’t wait to see what is in store in September for S/S Fashion Week!

F/W NYFW 2018 Recap | Part 1

This was such an exciting fashion week because it was my debut of She’s Red Haute to the shows of NYFW!  Fashion Week is a time when I can take some daring risks with my looks and let my outfits express my true personality.  I’ve decided to break up my experience into two parts, so you can get the full effect!

Fashion week runway shows can be fantastic forms of expression of our current culture.  This season, many designers put a huge focus on strong, empowering women bringing back 1980’s inspired power suits and bold colors.

Dan Liu runway finale

The Dan Liu show had a very James Bond vibe… if James Bond were a boss babe!  He did a fantastic job designing long suit jacket dresses.  I sported a Chanel inspired Karen Lawrence dress.  The strong aura suggested in the dress, with the hightened sleeves and the lattice work illusion top, blends seamlessly with the feminine pearls and bows.  Additionally, I paired the outfit with a mod pair of Qupid block heels and ivory socks to match my New York & Company coat, for warmth.  Aside from the dress, my favorite part of this outfit is my Marc New York bag.  I adore the color and metal ring handle.

This gold power outfit was completely inspired by the NYFW Malan Breton F/W 2017 collection. His use of metallics and female suits was breathtaking.  My jacket and  handbag are from Marshall’s and the rest is from H&M.  The scalloped belt, which I snagged from a vintage shop, complimented the scales on the jacket to a tee.  I felt sleek and ready to take on the world in this outfit, which I wore to the Fashion Hong Kong show and after party, and the Dahlia Razzook trunk show.

Fall in Love with Your Valentine’s Look

Redhead girl on roof with sparkly jumper

Fun fact about me: I’m a diehard Philadelphia Eagles Fan and I’m UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED for their recent Super Bowl LII victory!! I thought it only fitting, since I was in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’, to bring you a Valentine’s Day look to fall in love with.  This year, instead of sporting a red dress, try a sleek modern style with a jumpsuit!

This specific look is completely from a boutique called Tadah, in Ocean City, NJ.  Additionally, it’s so comfortable and the added amount of sparkle gives it a romantic touch.  Also, since it’s cold in February, the added warmth is a dream!  I upped the ante with a faux fir black coat and a throwback pair of embellished Gucci peep toe pumps, to compliment the shimmer on the jumpsuit.

To match the metal embellishment on the shoe, I added a necklace with similar detailing.  It brings the look all together.  The best part, at Tadah, all the jewelry is only $6! So, whether you are going out with your man or going out with the crew, this is a sleek look will be sure to make you feel special and stylish.

Laid Back in All Denim

The great thing about denim is that it classically connects every era into one modern look.  This laid back all denim look is a fantastic example of this concept.  These late 60’s/early 70’s inspired bell bottomed jeans by H&M mesh seamlessly with the late 80’s quality of the jean jacket.  Full denim is back on the runway again and it’s all in the details to effortlessly create a contemporary look.  Plus, the blue hue compliments any redhead’s hair to perfection.

This jean jacket, which I found at Buffalo Exchange, was the find of the century!  I love the light acid wash feel to it as well as the delicate rhinestone detailing.  It sparkles in the sun… which is a dream!  I paired this laid back all denim ensemble with a classic pair of Nine West black boots and mixed it up with a Molly Malloy velvet jacket top with illusion sleeves.

Lastly, the H&M train hat inspired the location of this shoot.  By adding it, the black color allows your eye to move from top to bottom of the outfit allowing the blue in the denim to pop!  If you’re going for all denim, you want it to stand out! Try it and tag #shesredhaute on Instagram so I can see your look!

Rocking Winter Leather

I love a rebellious look in a quality leather jacket.  However, finding a leather jacket that gives you a rocker look, that is also warm enough for winter, is tricky.  I have found most are made for a mild Fall at best.  I got this one at Buffalo Exchange. Can we say best find of the year?!  The fringe is right up my alley and it’s also heavily lined, making it perfect for those frigid days.

I’m a huge Johnny Cash fan.  His iconic head to toe black look was my inspiration for this ensemble.  I paired the jacket with a black jersey top and jeans from H&M.  Also, I heated it up with a scarf from Nordstrom Rack and a black knit hat I got from my Pop-Pop.  I love sporting my grandparents accessories!

I finished the look with my favorite new boots from Zara.  They are western style pointed boots with killer silver embellishments.  I like that they accentuate the jacket, bringing another touch of leather to the full outfit.

Keeping it Vintage

redhead girl sitting in blue and green poncho looking out

There are a few articles of clothing that make me giddy as a redhead.  I immediately felt just like that when I wrapped this vintage wool poncho around my body!  If you are a redhead, you will completely understand the excitement, as the colors woven through it are perfectly complementary to our locks.  But no matter the color of your locks, this poncho is sure to make you’re eyes widen!

I’m a huge fan of bringing a modern spin back to a beautiful vintage piece, like this 1970’s poncho.  In Carlisle, PA, there’s an amazing vintage boutique called Miss Ruth’s Time Bomb. GO THERE if you’re in the area! They have some of the coolest stuff!

redhead girl smiling in blue and green poncho

I usually don’t re-post pieces so quickly (Essential Pieces for Fall), but these boots complement the poncho so well! Plus they are super cozy.  I love how these Ralph Lauren boots play with both leather and suede for beautiful detailing.  I completed the outfit with a pair of Levi’s and Ballet Blouse from Revolve.
