Blue Sequin Dress for New Year’s Eve 2017

As the year comes to an end, it is common practice to reflect back on the good, the bad, and the ugly. And for a professional fashionista, there is no exception. In fact, I find it very fascinating to study my blog’s analytics. Sometimes you think everyone is going to hate an outfit but the page views say the opposite. And sometimes you think you nailed it but the post totally bombs. Well, in case you are wondering, this article was the year’s most popular outfit post. This food review came in a close second. Does this mean that all of my followers are Italian food craving globe trotters?! Probably not, but it could mean that they appreciate a bit of variety here and there. Noted! Now there is no better way to ring in the New Year than in a fabulous outfit. You know what they say, “put your best foot forward.” This blue sequin dress from Charlotte Russe will have heads turnin’. When is the last time you’ve seen iridescent blue sparkles? Your nail polish bottle? That’s what I thought! This stunner reflects beautifully rain snow or shine and is bound to make a statement. But […]

Faux Pearl Dress – Behind the Scenes with Kelsey Kaplan Fashion

These photos make me laugh. Not because I do not like them or anything, but because I look so put together. The truth is, taking blog pictures is not so glamorous. Minutes before we shot this look, I was racing down the embarcadero (in four inch heels) while my friend assistant was tying a satin bow around my wilting bouquet of flowers. Meanwhile, my car closet on wheels was parked in a passenger loading zone. I.e., you only have 30 minutes before you get the “boot” – literally! Picture this: me modeling, my hair flying, my #InstagramFriend capturing footage for Insta stories, all while keeping an eye on the photographer’s equipment and the time. No wonder I forgot my matching pearl earrings! And that was just the first look…thankfully I got my “ish” together for the second shoot. Anyway, today I am so excited to share this faux pearl dress! I know I am not the only one with holiday plans now through the New Year. For those of you “partied out” I can relate, but this spicy number will do all of the talking for you! Now how does one style a faux pearl dress […]

Cold Weather Holiday Attire: Emerald Velvet Top

In California, you can get away with wearing a dress all year round. But it’s not 60 degrees and sunny everywhere else during the month of December. The North East can be bone chilling during the winter and that is where I am jet setting off to later this week. But even if the weather does not cooperate, the fashion show must go on! Today it is my attempt to teach you how to style your holiday attire for the cold weather. Let’s begin with this emerald velvet top. Velvet First things first: gravitate towards toasty fabrics. What I mean is, save the cutout garments for the spring, and dress in corduroy, wool, or velvet instead. These materials will act as powerful insulators against the chill. This emerald velvet top, for instance, is perfect for underneath a chunky coat. If this beaut doesn’t scream “holiday,” I do not know what does! Faux Fux Faux fur is a glamorous adornment during the cold weather months. But not only does it look great, it is very functional. Consider incorporating faux fur accessories into your holiday ensemble. With the addition of these fur lined gloves and imitation “shapka” hat, […]

Get Party Ready in a Shaggy Jacket and Pink Booties

Does this outfit look familiar? Well, it should because it closely resembles this ensemble I wore during New York Fashion Week! To this day I am still finding strands of tinsel around my house. I kid you not! Anyway, now that the holiday season is upon us, so are all of the parties. Today I present you with the December version of a look that literally stopped traffic in NYC. Hear me out! The shaggy jacket is the new blazer. Shocking, I know, but it’s the truth! But if you stop and think about how you normally wear a blazer, it makes a lot of sense. Do you wear one over a dress or a skirt? With ripped jeans, or slacks? Is it just me, or does fringe effortlessly up your style game?! Next time you get ready to go out, consider topping your ensemble with a shaggy jacket instead of a blazer. Prepare for the compliments to roll in. So what makes this look different from the other? It’s all about the black. As much as I love color, I must admit that there is nothing sharper than black on black. An outfit like this […]

Celebrate the Holidays in a Silver Metallic Skirt by Kate Spade

Starting Tuesday, I have a holiday related event every day until I take a red eye to the East Coast. As you can probably imagine, I have been outfit planning like whoa! Luckily this blog helps me stay on track. But if you are in the market for festive get up too, consider adding a silver metallic skirt to your holiday attire, like this one by Kate Spade. There is something to be said about exceptionally well-made garments. To begin, they fit better. Specialty items often require a trip to the tailer. I was pleasantly surprised that this stunner fit me right out of the box! Second of all, they are more resilient. This pretty little thing does not wrinkle. In fact, it holds its shape extraordinarily well. This is a huge plus if you travel during the holiday season. I think it is safe to say we can all appreciate a low maintenance garment! Finally, the quality is first class. This skirt literally resembles liquid metal. I’ll take it! I do not wear neutral colors very often, but I see why they are so popular. You can dress them so many different ways! Today I […]
