Hello November !

 tee /  trench coat /  jeans /  shoes/  handbag / Earrings / glasses

 November has finally arrived. I feel like October was the longest month ever ! November is going to be super fun and busy full of Family and tons of work. That means more relaxing outfits. Over the weekend I got inspired to make this comfortable outfit. Fall is great to rock your trench coat. It is divine and basically you can dress it up or down.   As most of you know i am all about Comfort and Classy. 

This outfit is perfect for Brunch, a weekend walking around in the city or a movie night. It is also great to take with you while traveling. I added neutral tones and as you can see very comfortable shoes. These are the most comfortable shoes to walk around or if you have to stand for long period of time these are the famous TOD'S Loafers.  You can rock this outfit day and night. I hope it inspires you and it gives you a sense of how to use a trench coat on a regular basis during the Fall. 

Have a great week !

Traditional relaxing home style

Soooo i am in the process of moving. My mom and i decided to move to a new location. We have lived in our  NYC apartment for 10 years. We have so many memories that we lived in. But.... is time for a change. I thing change is great plus i get to paint and design a new space which i have so many ideas. I got a bit inspired and decided to made a design board. This design is perfect for a living room. It is calm, traditional and classy. I added a touch of brass with the lamp and decor vases. I really enjoy the basket weave pouf or ottoman what ever you call it,  that i included is the perfect acessory for this design set. If you enjoy neutral tones i think you will enjoy it as much as i do. Happy Friday !

Leather + Sneakers = Comfort Chic

 sweater /  coat / pants /  running shoes / leather purse / scarve / sunglasses

2014 is Here ! I hope everyone had an amazing New Year celebration. I hope you all reach your new goals. One if mine is to own a pair of leather pants. Yep I said it right. God they are so sexy ! I simply cannot find a pair where i can say that it's it i don't have to search for a new pair leather pants. 

I just love the look of leather jeans and simple sneakers like that Nike that i have. You might say WHAT sneakers as part of a outfit that has leather pants. well that's the fun of fashion that you can play around with items that you will never imagine. 

This outfit is mainly all black with touch of grey and plaid. It's perfect for the winter of 2014. This outfit is perfect for the gal that is always wants to be comfortable with her clothing but also daring by wearing leather pants.  

Have a nice weekend !

In A Very Plaid World !

Shop This Outfit : dress / tight / leather booties /  bag, / watch /  necklace / lipstick

I have always dreamed of being that typical classy lady from the upper east side. I guess with my obsession of Gossip Girl. I loved Blair and I loved her outfits. Every time I walk around the upper east side it reminds me of the show and of course of how charming the neighborhood is. In honor of that charming neighborhood and Gossip Girl I have this outfit in my mind. I think this outfit is beautiful and classy. 

 I mean for Gods sake the name of my Blog is Diary of a classy lady. I guess I am a bit obsessed with lady like classy outfits and lifestyles. This outfit is for the typical lady that loves to wear a fashionable outfit and also that loves plaid. This Ralph Lauren dress is perfect for this season. It is the perfect length and color. The makeup can be pretty easy just slap on a dark matte lipstick and you will look FABULOUS !

I wish i could have  it hanging on my closet but since i know that won't happen ill just leave it as a dream. So this is my "I wish i could wear that" outfit post. Happy Friday !! My question for you ladies is what is the synonym of classy to you?

The Cable knit Sweater Outfit

 sweater / jeans /  booties /  tote /  jewelry /  hat

If i would have to use one sweater through out fall and winter it would be the cable knit sweater. I love how cozy and warm I feel when I wear mine. I only have one cable knit sweater I remember i got it a couple years ago as a Christmas gift. since then it has been my go to sweater. This kind of sweater is perfect for everyday you can use it for work and also on a fall casual day. It also comes with me on any weekend getaway because i know i will use it and make use of it a lot.

 I have here  an outfit inspiration. This outfit is perfect I love the color combination with the camel jeans and of course the light cream cable knit sweater . To add a bit of color i added the burgundy hat which is a fall statement for this fall. I also added the famous tortoise shell necklace It compliments the whole outfit and makes it look well put together.

 If you don't have a cable knit sweater i suggest investing in one it will last you a long time and i am sure is going to be your go to sweater.

Winter Blues

 swimsuit / flip flops / hat / sunscreen / Book / towel

I don't know about you ladies but I am going through the winter blues. I am craving a little sand, water, sun and why not a frozen margarita. I wish i could be somewhere in the Caribbean or even better in the french riviera. I guess because it's winter and I'm all covered up in a puffy coat with mittens and scarves I have the desire of feeling the sun on my eyes and walking on the beach while my feet get soaked in the sand. Although it's not summer yet I am counting the days till I graduate because my best friend who is also graduating from college and I want to plan a trip possibly to the Caribbean so as you can imagine I can't wait. But I mean who said is two early to go shopping for a summer vacation. This set that I made it's just perfect for the fashionista that wants to spend a day relaxing at the beach or pool area. I included a Turkish towel just because it's more soft and I like it more  when I am laying down in the beach. In the meanwhile I will dream of these lovely pictures.

Burgundy the Biggest trend in Autumn

J.Crew knit sweater, $160 / Marc by Marc Jacobs skinny jeans, $255 / Alexander McQueen leather shoes, $515 / Rebecca Minkoff clutch purse / Bare Escentuals / NARS Cosmetics lip makeup, $28 / Essie 

The Biggest trend in the fall is the color Burgundy. Everywhere I go I see someone wearing something burgundy either on the face, nails or a clothing piece. This is one of the biggest trend of the season. New York is filled up with the color burgundy and what makes it peculiar is that the color is not the typical black that everyone wears during the winter time. Is giving you a chance to use a dark color to change a bit your wardrobe. I personally am in love with the color. I can't stop using it on my lips. I have jeans in this color, socks, tights,sweater you name it.  An example is if you don't want to use all burgundy this J.crew heart sweater is perfect because  it has touches of burgundy and you can trow it on with anything you want it will still be a great statement piece.
