In My Old Navy Romper

After finding this comfortably stylish romper at Old Navy, I think it’s safe to say that rompers are going to be my thing this spring. Not only do they look fab, since they’re one piece, they also make planning out an outfit super easy.

Aspiring Socialite Old Navy Romper Vicky Sullivan

This spring look first starts with my Hell’s Kitchen rooftop. I absolutely love living in Hell’s Kitchen. I’ve been here for around six years now. It’s a great neighborhood just west of Times Square. While it gets its name from its rough past, the name stuck because now it’s full of great restaurants. I can’t wait to spend more time on my rooftop as the weather gets warmer.

In the spirit of spring, I mixed my Old Navy Slub Weave Romper with my fav Steve Madden Boots (these Over the Knee Boots are similar). I also accessorized with my monogrammed GiGi New York Chelsea Crossbody clutch and my Daniel Wellington ‘Classy Sheffield’ Crystal Index Leather Strap Watch.

Winter Glamour in Central Park

Bebe Winter Fashion

There’s nothing more glamours than freshly fallen snow in Central Park.  Recently Winter Storm Jonas turned it into a magical winter destination clad in over two feet of snow. When walking through the park the day after the storm, I felt like I was vacationing at a ski resort in Aspen rather than strolling through Midtown Manhattan.

Seeing a beautiful snow-filled Central Park inspired me to put together an outfit worthy of the Aspen slopes. When I saw this Faux Fur Collar Ruana from Bebe I knew I had to have it!  I then paired it with my fav pair of Dark Mid Rise Skinny Jeans from Express, a basic Women’s Camis Best Loved Bra Cami also from Express and a pair of Cougar Boots. The purse is vintage. It was my Mom’s in the 70s.

The necklace is from Rocksbox, a subscription service where a stylist provides you with unlimited jewelry samples for $19 a month. You can buy the pieces you want just by holding onto them and send back what you don’t. It’s basically the Birchbox of jewelry.  Sign up using the code “aspiringsocialitexoxo” and you can get one month free. Renting jewelry is truly the way of the future.

I can’t wait for another big blizzard to hit!

New Year’s Eve Glam!

New Year’s Eve is all about the glamour! And by glamour I mean a sequined, sparkly glittery outfit topped with a glass of champagne. However, no matter what you’re wearing remember first and foremost to party like it’s 1999, but keep it classy.

New Year's Dress

This glamourous golden look, started with a fab find at Bloomingdale’s. On a whim I picked up this Aqua Gold Metallic Knit Fit & Flare Dress for under $40 and paired it with a French Connection clutch I had decorated with my blog name at New York Fashion Week, my favorite Star Power by Spanx High Waist Shaping Tights (very slimming), my Kendra Scott Naomi Two Finger Ring Adjustable Ring and my Grandmother’s vintage jewelry. To keep up the glam I put on Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick and painted my nails with CND Vinylux Grommet.

Uptown Holiday

For most people a holiday stroll consists of walking around the neighborhood and looking at everyone’s Christmas lights. But for me it consists of walking around Central Park West in a Red Vinyl Check Swing Coat reminiscent of Blair Waldorf’s preppy Manhattan style.

Topshop Upper West Side Central Park

I think it’s safe to say that this red coat from Topshop is truly the perfect holiday ensemble. It’s festive, stylish and perfect to put over any holiday dress. It’s also just a great statement coat for the warmer winter months. And yes it really does make you feel like you should be on Gossip Girl.

I paired it with a clutch from Topshop that they don’t seem to have anymore. But their Shimmer Quilted Clutch Bag and Capital Frame Clutch are similar and just as fab. I used CND Vinylux Nail Lacquer Polish in Tartan Punk on my nails to get the holiday red color and Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick in Red To Wear for festive lips. I also sported my favorite pair of slimming opaque tights Star Power by Spanx.

On the Edge in Leather and Over the Knee Boots

While my style is overall pretty preppy, I have an edgy side too. Once there’s a chill in the air, I simply can’t get enough of floppy hats, over the knee boots and leather jackets. I also have a huge thing for black nail polish.

For this edgy look, I headed to Flushing, the last stop on the 7 train, in my Leather Biker Jacket from MangoRock & Republic Kashmiere Jeggings and of course a fab wool floppy hat.  I topped off the look with a Zip Tote Bag and Lauren B. Beauty Black Nail Couture.
