Wrap Jumpsuit

 There really is nothing like a good jumpsuit. I love pieces that you don't have to think about, pieces that you can just throw on and go.. this is why I love casual dresses and jumpsuits so much. I will say that despite loving jumpsuits, I only own a few and this is 100% my favorite one so far. I can dress it up or down and it is definitely one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing that I own. It's so flattering and the fact that it ties at the waist is always a win for me.I paired it with my beloved slip on vans and I really love how everything looks together. I kind of look like I'm ready to do karate but in the most chic way & I'm digging it. I love the wide-leg and how it has a little slits on the side at the bottom, this makes the pants move so elegantly when I'm walking.OUTFIT DETAILS: vans shoes // grana jumpsuit // sunglassesUse code GEMARYXGRANA for 10% off + free shipping on any order on Grana.com

Love For Basics

I often preach about how it's worth spending a little more on good, well-made, versatile, classic pieces but surprisingly I was missing the perfect black button down in my collection & I am so glad I finally came across one that I absolutely love. To begin with, this blouse weighs a little bit more than your average cotton blouse so, no matter how you wear it, it is going to sit beautifully on the body and the buttons are turtoise shell so.... need I say more?I paired it with my current favorite straight-leg cropped jeans from levis and my patent leather boots. This tote is actually a dust bag for a sezane bag that I purchased a couple of years ago but I love the color and the print of it so much that I've been wearing it as my daily bag.OUTFIT DETAILS: SUNGLASSES // BLOUSE // BELT // JEANS // BOOTS // WATCH // TOTE (old sezane duster bag)Receive 15% off Daniel Wellington with code GEMARY15 until the end of jan

Power Suit Trend

Not sure if you've noticed or not but menswear-inspired fashion is very on trend right now. While I do love the trend, I'm not entirely sure it's here to stay for a long time so I decided to go into my closet and replicate the look with some of my favorite pieces.It's difficult for me to find a blazer that I absolutely love because most of them either have shoulder padding, are too boxy or fall at an awkward length for me. I prefer long lined blazers that are a bit more fitted for a more feminine look. I use to own SO many blazers and I donated every single one of them so I am pretty hesitant to spend money on one that I'm not head over heals for, until then I will have to improvise.I used one of my favorite trench coats to get the look I was going for. I love the fact that this trench isn't stiff, it's very light and flowy so I can manipulate the shape and the sleeves to get whatever look I want.I feel as though belts at the waist are VERY hit or miss but I am obsessed with the way they look cinching oversized coats or blazers, I think that despite the coat being pretty masculine, the belt at the waist brings back that femininity and elegance. This belt actually isn't meant for the waist but I love the way it looks all twisted like so, I think it adds interest.I went with a nude shirt underneath so that it gives the appearance that I'm not wearing anything and I liked how the cut of this tank is very low so that, again, it brings back a little femininity.I went with one of my favorite bags from sezane and my Steve Madden Chelsea booties.To finish up the look, I paired the coat with my black Levis wedgie fit jeans to give the appearance of a matching suit. I love how these jeans are slightly more straight legged as opposed to very skinny, again, this helps mimic the appearance of matching pants to my "suit".OUTFIT DETAILS: NEEDSUPPLY TRENCH (similar) // MANGO BELT // SEZANE BAG // STEVE MADDEN BOOTIES (similar) // URBAN OUTFITTERS UNDERSHIRT // LEVIS JEANS

Fall Uniform

One of the first things that I pull out every Fall season are my trench coats. Since it doesn't really get cold in Miami I tend to gravitate towards very flowy, light weight coats as opposed to regular coats.These kind of coats are so comfortable and literally go with everything, plus they kick every outfit up a notch. I paired it with my Hieleven bag (surprise, surprise) and some pointed flat mules.I know that these shoes are not everyone's cup of tea but after seeing this trend for a while now I finally gave in. I usually stay away from "unusual" trends... or trends that I'm not sure will stand the test of time but I really love the look of them so I just decided to get them & I'm glad I did. I don't know if I would drop $700 on Gucci loafers ( not saying never) but I do think that this style of shoe is very cool, interesting & a great alternative to regular flats. Plus, this particular pair is VERY comfortable and so easy to just slip on. I opted for a pointed loafer because I feel like a pointed toe is slightly more elegant and feminine than a regular flat.Lately, I've been loving everything vintage inspired so another trend that I've been in love with are cat-eye sunglasses. I think that they are just so flattering and lady-like. I put on liquid eyeliner ALL of the time because I just love how it elongates your eyes and just makes everything better, the same applies to cat-eye sunglasses... They give the appearance of elongated eyes and I just think they make you look more sophisticated.

And a "Fall Uniform"... or any seasonal uniform, just wouldn't be complete without some kind of vintage or vintage-looking jean. I have these in three colors already and I seriously cannot recommend them enough.
