My Moda Operandi Trunkshow Picks

Fashion month is officially over and there were so many great pieces straight off the runway that I was drooling over. You guys are always asking me for shopping tips and I’m so excited to let you in on one of my secrets today. As you know, I’m always keeping an eye out for the next big thing whether that’s an emerging designer or “it” piece. The thing with that is “those” pieces tend to sell out before they even hit the market. Getting on the waitlist or trying to find a pre-owned version is always such a hassle. So, I’m always stalking the Moda Operandi Trunkshows as soon as fashion month ends - it’s the best way to get ahead on your favorite trends fresh off the catwalk.

How It Works

Days after a show ends, Moda Operandi showcases the latest collection in its Trunkshows. With this feature, you get to shop the best looks of the following season. If there’s anything you absolutely must have, you can pre-order the pieces in your size. You pay half upfront and the remaining amount upon delivery.

Trunkshows are available for a limited time only, so make sure you check them out early and make a decision before they’re gone. This season, some of my favorite pieces came from Awake, Isabel Marant, and Nanushka - and all three will only be up for the next few days.

While there are many places you can shop for designer pieces, Moda Operandi is my favorite for this unique feature. I’m constantly scrolling through their site to see what’s new, and there’s always something to put on my wishlist. Keep scrolling to see what’s on my list for spring!

How to Style the Monochrome Trend for Fall

Hey ladies! It has been such a busy month for me. I felt like I was constantly on-the-go with Fashion Week, and now, it’s already October!  I’m so excited for this fall season and have stayed busy curating the perfect cozy wardrobe. Lately, you guys have been asking for more affordable picks and one of my first recommendations is to check out the trend department at Nordstrom (here). It’s freshly stocked with chunky knits, suede and leather pieces, and all the best boots you need this fall. I’ve been doing most of my shopping here, and they have so many new goodies that have caught my eye! I wanted to share this cozy, casual chic monochrome look that you can recreate even if you’re on a budget!

Mini Skirt 

A suede mini skirt and knee-high boot combo is the perfect way to ease into the new season. Rather than flowy skirts made from linen and cotton that scream summer, choose heavier materials like leather, corduroy, or suede to really cozy up the vibe! Blank NYC makes the best suede pieces at amazing prices and I’m obsessed with this mini right right now.

Chunky Sweater

A girl can never have too many sweaters and there are tons of styles that pair well with all your boots. Currently, I am all about the simple sweater that’s upgraded with details, such as balloon sleeves, to give it a little more style. This piece also happens to be the easiest way to make mini skirt and knee high boots look grown up and sophisticated. I love how it balances out the sleek combo. Playing with monochrome tonal color palettes also ups the chic factor, especially with neutrals like gray - it makes an outfit seem much more expensive.

The Boots

Knee high boots are everywhere this season and I’m here for it. I love their tall silhouette, which lengthens and slims the legs naturally. They also provide some leg coverage, which means extra warmth for when it is chilly outside. Whether you like heeled boots, leather, suede or animal print, Nordstrom has you covered on it all. This pair by Sam Edelman has been a favorite - the stiletto heel and pointed toe give it such a sophisticated vibe. (Also love this one and this one!)

NYFW 2019 Recap + Mini NYC Guide

Happy Friday! It’s been a busy past few weeks especially with all the New York Fashion Week festivities, but I’m back today to breakdown every single look I wore and to share a little mini city guide! NYC is one of my absolute fave cities in the world, and it’s unfortunate that I don’t get to visit as much as I’d like to. This year, I took a different approach to fashion week and spent more time enjoying the city, meeting with my favorite brands, and shooting a ton of content. I did attend some really great shows, but made sure not to overpack my schedule - and in the end, I’m so happy with how the whole trip turned out.

Above Outfit:

One Teaspoon Jacket (runs big wearing XS) | Cami NY Bodysuit | Rag & Bone OLD jeans (similar here and here) | Steve Madden Sandals |

All the outfits that I wore throughout my time in NYC are linked on this post for you with a few additional ones on my LikeToKnow.It account (here).

Vici Dolls Pink Skirt runs big- save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Vici Dolls Lightning Bolt Tee (Similar Here) - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Quay Sunglasses | Similar Polkadot Pumps

As promised, I kept all my outfits super attainable this season since you guys are always asking about more affordable pieces and looks. I pulled a ton of favorites from Vici Dolls and mixed them with some of my favorite heels and accessories. This bright pink skirt was one of my favorites! If you’re interested in any of my Vici Doll outfits, you can use the code LUCYSWHIMS20 at checkout to save an additional 20% off.

Where to Stay

During this trip, I stayed at NoMo SoHo, which I love for its beautiful entrance and convenient location. SoHo is one of my favorite neighborhoods because of all the cobblestone streets and amazing stores to shop, restaurants and it just really gives you that NYF feel. I also highly recommend The James Hotel SoHo for the incredible views and aesthetic! It’s where I normally stay but we needed a room with two beds this time and they don’t have that option FYI! They also have the best happy hour for wine lovers. If you’re into that uptown vibe, Viceroy Central Park (now called Le Meridien New York) is a short walk to all the Fifth Avenue shops and it’s right across the street from Central Park (my fave!). It was decorated by Kelly Wearstler and is to die! I also love The Bowery, The Baccarat, Ludlow Hotel, and Sixty SoHo.

Vici Dolls Leopard Dress - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Similar Belt (Here too) | Prada Cahier Bag

Similar Vici Dolls Sweater - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Vici Dolls Cargo Pants - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Vici Dolls Handbag - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Quay Sunglasses | Similar Polkadot Pumps | Similar Earrings

Coffee & Brunch Spots

Coffee is a fashion week must-have. I always crab a cup from La Colombe - they have 8 locations spread conveniently throughout the city. It gets busy but the coffee is SO good! Get the oat latte draft! When I feel like scaling back on caffeine, I’ll go for matcha at Cha Cha Matcha. It’s an instagram pic favorite for sure!

For a quick brunch bite, The Egg Shop and The Butcher’s Daughter are hands down my favorites. You have to get the friend plantains & avocado toast if you go Butcher’s Daughter. Sadelle’s is also super delish!

Similar Red Blazer - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Vici Dolls Muscle Tank - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Vici Dolls Skirt (runs large, size down) - save 20% with "LUCYSWHIMS20” | Similar Lace Bra | Stuart Weitzman Heels

Favorite Restaurants

One of the reasons why I love NYC so much because there’s no shortage of delicious restaurants. As much as I want to try out new places whenever I go back, I have a few tried-and-true that I’m never without. My mind is flooded with options, but I’m going to narrow it down to a few options for you guys.

Balthazar - I NEVER leave NYC without a visit. It’s a traditional French kitchen that serves up a wide variety of fresh seafood and pastries that are made fresh daily. I always start with the Balthazar Salad and a martini!

Buddakan - If you love Asian cuisine, Buddakan won’t disappoint. I love the vibe, the flavors, and the various dishes, which makes it perfect place for groups. AND it happens to be the Sex in The City restaurant, you know the one! ;)

The Polo Bar - The Polo Bar is so exquisite and always makes me feel extra chic. They offer an elevated take on classic American dishes and the flavors are right on par.

Cami NYC Dress | IRO Leather Jacket (Similar Here) | Alexander Wang Sandals | Quay Sunglasses | Prada Shoulder Bag

More Restaurants… :)

Quality Meats - This steakhouse is great for dinner dates and small groups. They make some of the most flavorful steaks I’ve had.

Locanda Verde - NYC has tons of great options for Italian food, and this one is of course one of them. The rustic atmosphere is super cute and feels so classy. And the food is amazing!

Nobu - You can never go wrong with Nobu wherever you are in the world. The food and service always exceeds my expectations.

Socialite Bodysuit (Similar Here) | Retrofete Skirt | Crossbody (Similar here, and here) | Alexander Wang Sandals

Mylos Estiatorio - Whenever I’m in the mood for fresh mediterranean flavors, this is my go-to spot. They fly in fresh fish daily from around the world - I don’t think it gets fresher than this!

Scarpetta - Classic. Get the spaghetti and the lamb!

Beauty & Essex - This place is such a sexy night out vibe! They have some great vegan options and the cocktails are spot on!

Lafayette 148 NEW YORK Jacket (Similar here, and here) | Abercrombie and Fitch Tank | AGOLDE Skirt | Tony Bianco Heels | Quay Sunglasses | Fendi Shoulder Bag (Similar here, and here)

Thai Villa - For traditional Thai food that isn’t overly priced, Thai Villa is my go-to. The interior decor is stunning and the value you get for what you pay can’t really be beat.

Prince Street Pizza - You can’t go to NYC and not get pizza! Prince Street Pizza makes the best! The dough is light and crispy and doesn't leave you feeling gross. The lines can get long, but it’s 100% worth it.

Frenchette - This upscale bistro offers a mix of modern and traditional French fare. The food is so good, but the wine is on another level.

Additional favorites: Cecconi’s, Ippudo, 4 Charles Street, Bond Street, Nusr-Et, and Uva.

Plaid Blazer | ALC Pants | Christian Louboutin Pumps | Shoulder Bag (Similar here, and here) | Quay Sunglasses

Show Highlights

Now for the show highlights, I attended Self-Portrait, and as expected, it showcased some of the most beautifully structured dresses. I took mental note of all the utility accents which I naturally gravitate towards. I’m so glad it’s going to be HUGE next spring. I also got to see the Rebecca Minkoff presentation - it was a symbol of feminism in its finest form (loved the mom and baby installation). And then it concluded with Cinq A Sept, which was brimming with vibrant colors and flowy fabrics.

NYFW is the best time to network with brands. Since most of our work as influencers is done digitally, we rarely ever get that face time. It’s so important so I was happy that I got to catch up with my favorite brands like Cami NYC (you guys know how much I obsess over their camis). I also had productive meetings with Marissa Web and Retrofete.

LaMarque Leather Jacket | Cinq A Sept Cami | Alexander Wang Sandals | Prada Shoulder Bag | Quay Sunglasses | MAC Lipstick

That basically sums up my NYFW SS20 trip. If you happen to visit the city with extra time to spare, be sure to stop by The High Line and Dumbo - both are so picturesque and make for really amazing photos (on and off the gram)!

XO, Lucy

How to Style the Snakeskin Trend

Hey ladies, hope you all are having an amazing start to fall. I couldn’t be more excited because I finally get to wear all the pieces I love most, like oversized sweaters and boots, leather and more. One of the trends I’m crushing on most this season is everything snake print, and there are so many budget-friendly options available in terms of style! I actually picked up this entire look from Walmart and couldn’t believe how amazing their fall line up was. The snakeskin booties and handbag are my favorites and they’re both from Walmart’s latest launch, Scoop. Scoop is a treasure trove for on trend, affordable finds, so whether you want to spice up your look with snakeskin accessories or go bold with an allover print, there is something out there for you! Here are some of the ways I’m rocking the trend this season.

Boots

Snakeskin is such a chic way to add color and texture to your outfit. I love how it pops against basics (especially head to toe black) and really upgrades the look - especially boots. These booties are so sleek, sophisticated and look way expensive, even though they aren’t. Walmart has such a great selection of snakeskin boots right now and they’re all under $100 (also love this one and this one)!

Handbag

I’m also obsessing over this little bag because it’s so versatile. The structured top handle puts the finishing touch on evening looks while the crossbody strap is so convenient when you’re out and about during the day. It’s the perfect mix of classic yet edgy and trend forward.

Dress

Snakeskin dresses are the new leopard print this season. Although statement-making, they’re still subtle enough for everyday wear, especially if you go for simple silhouettes like a slip dress. Tone it down by layering it under a leather jacket or cozy knitwear.

Knitwear

Speaking of knitwear, let’s just take a moment to talk about the knit I am wearing that would actually be perfect under a slipdress! I LOVE this sweater so much I bought it in this color, this super cool camo and I also bought the turtleneck version, love the pink too! The quality and drapping is so GOOD! Super deep V to layer camis, lace brallette or a simple tank for school drop offs!

I’m really loving this trend because literally everyone can pull it off, plus it looks so chic with anything! Luckily, Walmart makes it so affordable to get your hands on it too!

Our Master Bathroom Design Plans!

We have been working on this bathroom for quite some time to be honest! We had some starts and stops so this has taken way longer then it should have, but we are FINALLY almost wrapped up with it! I thought it would be fun to show you some before moments and also share the vision we created with our designer, Kelly Hinchman, from Studio H Design!

First of all let me just give her a proper shout out because initially we where trying to design this bathroom on our own, hence so many start-stops! I quickly realized we are not a good fit for juggling a process like this! It kept getting put on the back burner because life, work, and everything else took priority. Also when it comes to the house, we are the MOST indecisive people ever - we have tons of ideas but struggle to put them together. Thank god for Kelly coming to the rescue! Full disclosure, Kelly also happens to be a really good friend! AND she also has the most killer intuitive aesthetic so I was so thankful for her talents!

Below are the two designs she presented to us and scroll down to see what we chose and why! Also I linked a lot of the accessories we ended up picking up so you’re getting the first glimpse of what’s to come!

XO, Lucy

Option 1

Bath Inspo

Modern Minimal

Option 1

I’ve always been drawn to modern, minimalist bathrooms because they feel spacious, bright and no clutter. To be candid, I prefer more of a masculine aesthetic so when Kelly presented me with these two images I was really impressed with how she really got us and what we wanted in our space.

The first option she presented us and what we ended up going with was all about this huge accent wall moment and the light up mirrors that I HAD to have! A couple years back I’d stayed at a hotel that had these mirrors and they legit made me feel 10 years younger so they where a must no matter what!

Option 2

Bath Inspo

Traditional

Option 2

The other style I really love is more of a traditional design with an edgy, glam touch. I’ve always been obsessed with black cabinets with gold hardware - it just feels eternally timeless and luxe. The pop of marble ties the whole thing together. As you can see though, the two designs are quite different. My biggest battle was figuring out how to combine them or sticking to just one without falling back on the other. I’m so lucky that Kelly Hinchman and Studio H Design was able to narrow it down to these two aesthetics. Prior to this, I was all over the place on Pinterest and Instagram and the range of styles was so broad.

In the end I ended up gong with Option 1. Our closet opens up to our bathroom and I really wanted a cohesive flow between the two spaces so we opted to carry through that cabinet color into the bathroom and you know I had to have those mirrors!

Stay tuned for the full reveal and in the meantime, shop my bathroom decor favorites below (links listed from left to right starting at the top)!

Step by Step Tutorial to get My Volume, Textured Hair Style!

Hi ladies! I don’t know about you, but I’m always drooling and trying to achieve my favorite celebrity hairstyles. Since I was born with super curly, thick hair that I struggled to manage most of my life, the one thing that continually sticks out to me is beautiful, healthy tresses.

True story, when i was 13 I finally figured out how to get my hair smooth with my moms iron and ironing board! Needless too say it didn’t go well and I have a few burns to remember it! Ha! Anyone else?!

Anyway, I’m always keeping my eyes out for tools that make styling my hair easier. So when Dermstore reached out to me about testing the latest Harry Josh Pro Tools line, I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity! And how perfect was the timing since I just cut my hair and totally had to relearn how to style it!

If you don’t know by now, Harry Josh is a big deal when it comes to all things hair. Without knowing it, you’ve probably seen his work in the likes of Harper’s Bazaar, GQ and Allure. His hair career is jam-packed with talent, working on the heads of Olivia Wilde, Kate Bosworth, Karlie Kloss, and Gisele - just to name a few! If this isn’t convincing enough, read on to see how his line of hair care tools will change your life.

I strongly believe that if there is only one haircare tool a girl should invest in, it should be a hair dryer. Let’s face it, a good blow out does miracles and breathes so much life into your locks. Plus, if it’s truly a good blow out, the style will last for days or until you wash it again! Or if you’re me, almost a week! The Harry Josh Pro Dryer allows you to achieve just that. The dual ion functionality provides sleek volume, as well as healthy shine no matter how damaged your hair is from coloring and heat styling.

The first time I switched my Pro Dryer on, I was shocked at how powerful this sucker was! It blows air at 80+ mph, which means you can not only style with perfection but it also saves you a lot of time - even with thick, unruly hair like mine! As soon as I replaced my old hair dryer with the Harry Josh Pro Dryer, I was sold! PS it blow dried my hair so fast I literally had to wet my hair again 3 times to get these photos! ;) And that is saying a lot considering I have super thick hair! It’s also got this cool cold air button that does an awesome job of setting your hair with a cold shot. This is important because it makes my hair so much more manageable with a curling or flat iron.

Ok so by popular demand here is a step by step tutorial on how I style my hair to achieve volume, texture and that effortless kinda messy style you ladies ask about ALL the time! Hope this helps and let me know any questions you have! XO

Step By Step How To For Textured Volume!

• For how I like to style my hair, my goal is volume and texture so I blow dry my hair away from my scalp for maximum umff! I could also use a round brush and smooth it out for a much more polished vibe buy you know me I like a little rock and roll in my looks so texture all the way!

  Pro Tip: Blow Dry away from the scalp and use mainly your hands to dry to achieve the most volume!

Ok, don’t judge, this is my hair in it’s natural crazy frizzyness glory! But I wanted to share with you so that you don’t get frustrated as you style and just follow through because the finished result will give you killer texture!

• Next I section my hair into 3 sections with these clips and work from the bottom up and take really small, maybe 1/2 in sections and curl with the 2 in 1 Marcel Curling Iron starting mid-shaft and aiming my curling iron DOWN! I’m obsessed with this iron and it couldn’t have come at a better time as my old one was too big for my new shorter hair. This 1.25 size is perfect for my length and any type of bob/lob length.

  Pro Tip: The smaller the sections you curl the more texture you’ll achieve!

• Then I alternate directions and curl with iron facing up, hold on to my ends and kind of do a pull through to smooth at the ends to make the ends straight and give that lived in look. Does that make sense? I will be sharing a video on stories to make it easier and save to my hair Highlights! ;) I got you ladies!

• Lastly I let my hair set for a few minutes to cool and then shake the curls loose before I spray it with texture spray!

• Now here is the next game changing feature from this Marcel Curling Iron, it converts from a marcel iron; that I totally love because once you get the hang of it, t’s super easy to use; to a curling wand that is perfect for those loose beach waves. I only wash my hair every 4-5 days so I’ve been using the wand option for the following days to touch up a few loose pieces here and there.

Overall, my new Harry Josh Pro Tools have been a game changers in my daily hair routine and I am really impressed! If you’re interested in emulating the perfect celebrity hair, definitely check out the Harry Josh Pro Dryer at Dermstore. I promise, you’ll be blown away by this amazing hair dryer and curling wand AND guess what?!

If it’s time to update your hair tools, happy day because Dermstore is offering 25% off to all my readers for the entire Harry Josh line using the code HJPRO25!

Whoot whoot! Ladies, let me know if this hair tutorial was useful and how you love your new hair tool!

Outdoor Decor Ideas Perfect for Summer

Hi ladies! I’ve mentioned before how eBay is my favorite destination for scoring designer handbags at a discount. But did you know it’s also a great place to find home decor pieces? Interior design is one of my guilty pleasures, so I’m always hunting for new pieces that add character and charm to my space. Since it is summer, I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors and wanted to elevate my backyard a bit. We have a really big deck and still have a lot of work to do but I wanted to create a little reading/lunge nook for myself to enjoy the summer evenings. After feeling really overwhelmed with the task I learned that it all comes down to the furniture and mainly the accent pieces you choose to dress up a space and give it life. For today’s post, I’m sharing the outdoor decor ideas you can grab before fall. Since summer pieces are now being phased out, it’s the perfect time to shop eBay and score major savings on all your home and garden needs!

Patio Furniture

When planning out the desired aesthetic of your outdoor space, I recommend sticking to a theme. I take inspiration from chic hotels and resorts I visited in the past, and decided to go after a modern black and white theme. I think its important to keep your big ticket item neutral so you can change out your accessories to fit the season or change in trends. eBay makes shopping for these big ticket items super easy. You can pick up a single accent chair or you can shop in sets to make the process easier. I wanted to keep it as natural yet true to my style as possible so I went with wicker and rattan furniture. My favorite purchase has been the patio egg chair - it’s so cozy and perfect for sipping on wine or reading a good book. 

Accents

Once you have your furniture picked out, the rest is a breeze! It’s super easy and really fun to pick out some accent pieces to dress up the space. In keeping with my modern theme, I decided to go with some black and white accents. eBay has you covered on anything from seat cushions to oversized rugs. You can never go wrong with some classic cabana stripes. I made sure to bring that pattern in with this umbrella and deck rug! These two items alone really elevate the space, making it perfect to host friends and family.

Outdoor Decor

Finally, you’ll want to add some finishing touches with some outdoor decor pieces. I love filling my space with a ton of plants to bring in more greenery to our little oasis. Hanging planters are great for adding some dimension and texture, but I also pair it with plenty of regular free-standing ceramic and speciality planters. Some other ideas to transform your outdoor area is to add solar powered LED lights for ambiance at night, large vases, jute poufs for extra seating, and some decorative outdoor pillows to liven up your furniture. 

As I mentioned earlier, this is the perfect time to score some really amazing home and garden deals from eBay! Whether you’re looking for large patio furniture decorative pieces to accent your space, definitely check out the expansive offerings eBay has to offer!

Hi ladies! We are totally changing gears and bringing my little tribe to Lucy’s Whims today! We are gearing up to go back to school in a few weeks and it is definitely time stock up on some fun fashion and NOT for me! Ha! We go through clothes like crazy around here between how fast they grow and all our summer adventures it was def time to style them up! It’s important that my kids feel comfortable and can show their personality when I buy their clothes and let’s be honest, I want them to look hip! So I thought it’s be fun to round up some summer style that doesn’t break the bank but looks as cool as you do!

Happy Shopping mamas!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019: The Best of Home & Beauty

I hope your Sunday is off to a great start! I’m sure most of you are over the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but it’s still going strong and there are only two full weeks left to shop the event.

XO, Lucy

(Click to Shop!)

SKINCARE

My top skin concerns are pigmentation and aging, so I’m always looking for products that give me a youthful glow. Skincare can get super expensive though, so this sale is a great opportunity to score your favorite brands (like La Mer) at a discount. I also recommend trying out new tools and technology to step up your skincare game. This year i received this Stim LED Light and it has been a game changer for my routine!

I also every year stock up on this cleanser that lasts me all year long and that is part of my two step cleansing routine, and this exfoliator I keep in the shower and this one that I use right before I self tan! Obsessed with the warming effect.

If you’d like to see more of my anti aging skin routine, check it out here!

MAKEUP

There are so many great makeup sets that are hard to pass up in this sale. I typically prefer a natural look for my everyday makeup, so I’m loving this brow combo, cheek palette, and eyeshadow kit. I also bought this shadow palette that I’ve been wearing non stop lately and you ladies have been asking a ton about! I got the warm and it’s perfect for my olive skin!

HAIRCARE

T3 is one of my favorite hair tools brands and you can get such a great deal on this hair dryer and iron (it’s great for creating beachy waves or sleek, straight hair!). I also love anything from Oribe - you can test out the brand with this set.

FRAGRANCES

There’s really nothing like the right fragrance to complete your look, and now’s the time to find your signature scent while they’re on sale. My favorites are by Chloe, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs. These also make great buys that you keep on hand and give as a present later!

HOME

Don’t skip out on the home goods! The one thing I splurge on during this sale is my fancy candles! I keep candles in every room so this discount def helps!
