✨ #TBT to eating our way through Charleston, SC. 🌴 @joncospito and I couldn’t get enough of the beautiful city and it’s delicious food! 🤤 Will definitely be finding our way back... we have more restaurants we want to visit! 🥂 Anyone interested in a Charleston travel/food guide? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Let me know in the comments! Nom nom nom 🍽🍳🥖😘✨
✨ It’s basically a tradition now. 💕@joncospito and I at the New York Renaissance Faire yesterday. 👑🏰🍻⚔️ I threw together an Esmeralda inspired costume that morning and Jon went in the same flawless squire look from last year 😂 (made by the incredibly talented #SarahHoit). Dress and scarf are both vintage! Next year I’m thinking Pan and a nymph? 🧚🏼‍♀️ Gotta get to work! ✨
✨ So about that “no white after Labor Day” rule... it’s a myth! I’m still on my summer vaca and as far as I can see in NYC, it’s still hot hot hot. ☀️☀️☀️ White still feels fresh and airy and it should still be worn if it feels right, regardless of the date on the calendar. 📆 I think of fashion rules more like style guidelines, open to interpretation and moldable to your lifestyle and preferences. I’m going to wear white until the temps drop... then I’m calling it winter white. 😂❄️⛄️ Do YOU and your style will reflect that, it will be as unique and special as you are! ✨ What fashion rules do you love to break? Tell me below! ☺️ | 📷 @joncospito 💕
✨ Next week hubby and I go on our summer trip 🙏🏼 so I’m finally thinking vacation dressing! ⛱ My love of the bralette + high-waisted pant combo has been well documented, so here’s a tropical version. 💁🏻‍♀️🏝 I added a bright pink acetate earring to highlight the pant’s colorful print. Now all I need is a frozen margarita in-hand and my out of office message turned on. 😉🌺☀️🍹 | 📷 @joncospito 💕
✨ Recently, a personal client of mine came to me with a question: she has a lot of events to go to and the dress code is usually cocktail. But, in NYC, that means anything from jeans to dresses.👖➡️👗 ...So, what should she wear? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Today, the rules of event dressing have become more broad and more lax, which can be difficult if you’re just trying to look appropriate but actually gives you so many more choices! 🍾 Which brings me to this: a modern take on occasion wear, or as I call it, Creative Cocktail. 🍹With creative cocktail, you can have fun! Take risks! Go big. Be more restrained... Take this look. A maxi dress is the perfect option for a summery, cocktail party look. 🏝 I wanted this vintage dress and its pretty polka dot print to be the hero so I kept the accessories minimal. Since a chandelier or drop earring might have pushed the look into more evening territory, I paired it with a statement stud instead. 🌸 Then, all you have to do is adorn yourself with attitude and you’re ready to go! 😉💃🏻✨ | 📷 @joncospito 💕
✨ It’s here! A post on my hair care routine is up now on #ThePaillette! 💫 One was requested and I was only too happy to oblige. 🤗 I have dry, curly hair which takes some time to manage and a particularrrr process to make sure pretty curls form and not just frizz. 💎 I share the routine, products, and tools that I have honed over literal years (plural) of testing that keep my hair in its best shape ever. 👸🏻 Tap the link in my bio to discover it all! | 📷 @joncospito 💕

✨ Here’s a secret. I don’t loveee wearing short anything. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like pants and mid-length everything (dresses, skirts, culottes). If I do wear shorts, I have a few must-haves: ✔️high-waisted, ✔️hits mid-thigh or just below, ✔️A-line. Why? A high-waist highlights the waist, creating an hourglass effect for your figure, and makes the line of the leg start higher, elongating their appearance (and when you’re wearing sandals or flats, why not get a little extra help in the elongating department?). I prefer shorts that hit mid-thigh because that’s generally the more toned area of the upper leg (look for a length between Bermuda shorts and short shorts 🏝). The A-line cut achieves a similar purpose, the flared hemline flowing away from the body make thighs look slimmer in comparison. 👗 Also, as an added bonus, when your shorts are roomier/longer, you don’t feel like everything is out on display when you sit down (am I the only one who feels that way?? 🙅🏻‍♀️). Now, you all know that I subscribe to the rule that there are no rules in fashion and I wouldn’t want anyone to think that I’m in anyway saying the goal of style is to “look slimmer”, that’s never the goal. The goal is to FEEL AMAZING! 🔥🔥🔥 And I want you to wear whatever achieves that for you, bodycon short shorts and all (and I’m not saying those don’t look great too. Biker shorts all daiii 🚴🏻‍♀️). But, if you were feeling not so hot about the shorts prospect of summer, I find this style to be not only universally flattering but also a more sophisticated take on shorts. You can wear this style to the office or dinner with a tucked in button-up and still look professional/appropriately dressed. 👔 Add a heel and you have legs for days on a casual night out. 👠 So next time you’re shopping for shorts, try a few in this style. You may find you love wearing shorts after all! ✨| 📷 @joncospito 💕
✨ One of the services I provide to my personal clients is called “shopping your closet,” where I help them make new outfits out of pieces they own, expanding the investment they’ve already made in their wardrobe. 👚👖 It’s also a practice I do myself at least a couple of times a season. I turn on my favorite playlist, (right now I’m loving ¡Viva Latino! on @Spotify) and get to work putting together different looks and trying them on. 💃🏻 I do this when I have free time so I don’t have to scramble before an event (who has ever found themselves running late because they couldn’t find the right outfit? Guilty ✋🏼). Shopping my closet creates a mental gallery of outfits that I know work on me (with my clients I take a photo of each outfit and send them an actual gallery. You can do that too!). Sometimes pieces you thought would work well together fall flat, and a look you’re not sure about turns out great. 💁🏻‍♀️ This was one such look. I wasn’t sure about the dimensions of wearing a flared top with culottes (potentially too much volume weirdly broken up. If I do volume on bottom, I generally balance it by doing something more form-fitting on top) but I ended up loving it! 🎉 Then, when Jon and I rushed out of the apartment that weekend, I already knew exactly what I wanted to wear and wasted no time searching. Do you shop your closet? Try it this week! You’ll be delighted by the new looks you create. ☺️👗💕✨| 📷 @joncospito 😘

✨Story time. Years ago, when I was studying abroad in Florence, I was having terrible anxiety about something - can’t remember what. I felt like I had messed up an opportunity or did something wrong and now something that I wanted to happen wasn’t going to happen. Although I can’t remember what the situation was, I’ll never forget the words of advice my roommate @a_bad_idea gave me. She said, “Do you really think you could ever mess up God’s plan? If God wants it for you, it will happen, and no little mistake you make can change that so don’t worry about it. You could never get in God’s way.” WOW. Did those words change the way I look at my life. All I can do is pray for God’s direction and do my best while moving towards it. And if something goes wrong, I can relax and rest in the knowledge that God’s got this, He’s planned all the steps of my life and has led me to unbelievable blessings so far. Even the bad bits that shook me at the time, I look back at them and see their purpose. I cannot get in God’s way. YOU cannot get in God’s way. What God has for me will come, and if He doesn’t want something for me, why would I want it? If you’re feeling anxious about anything, I hope those words can help you as much as they helped me. 🌅 Psalm 37:23-24. ✨ | 📷 @joncospito
