All About St. Tropez
By Heather | June 1, 2012Shake up summer dressing with Riviera flair! Think classic Saint Tropez glamor with a modern edge. Make a splash in a range of dazzling new pieces, from printed maxi dresses to a red-hot bikini. While accessorizing go bold and graphic for iconic French elegance. And when the sun goes down, turn up the wow factor with lush hues and airy silhouettes that are bound to sizzle on or off the sand. I'm all about channeling St. Tropez style with these pieces: 1. Melissa Odabash Black Jemima Hat: St. Tropez topper. Give any look a French flair with this floppy black hat. Detailed with a black leather band and gold buckle for a touch of bling. Pair back to any beachside outfit. 2. Le Silla Black Suede Wedges Sandals: Sky high sandals skyrocket any ordinary look to St. Tropez glamor. These black sandals feature a criss cross front, ankle strap and platform wedge with contrasting panel. Perfection with a maxi dress, caftan or tunic. 3. Salvatore Ferragamo Cobalt and Violet Belted Strapless Gown: From sun-filled days to star-filled nights, this gown is fabulous. Pile on the gold jewelry and pull on your wedges, this vibrant blue and violet print can handle the ritziest accessories. Maxi length with bustier top, high leg slit and belted waist. 4. Alexis Bittar Black Lucite Clip Earrings: A St. Tropez-inspired look is not complete without the bling. Add these black lucite drop earrings to your poolside look to get the glam factor. Detailed with gold-plated accents. 5. Sergio Rossi Bronze Leaf Design Sandals: Even though we're going for French-inspired style, these sandals are Greek goddess worthy. The perfect ending to any leg, bronze-colored stilettos wrap your foot in three delicate leaves and one slim ankle strap. 6. Priyanka Black Sample Bracelet: Deceptively simple, this slim bracelet makes a statement. An eye-catching black stone is framed by a gold chain and crystal embellishments. Simple enough for the pool, stunning enough for nighttime cocktails. 7. Roberto Cavalli Amethyst Printed Triangle Bikini: Luxe in leopard. A twist on a classic animal print, this leopard is done up in pink and purple. Styled into an itty bitty bikini, Roberto Cavalli cut his suit into tiny triangles and a tie-side bottom . A gold ring brings the straps together at the back for an interesting touch. 8. Michael Kors Neon Pink Raffia Tote: Take off for Tropez with this versatile tote. Great for travel, beach-going or an afternoon of shopping, this oversized raffia tote is finished with bright pink leather handles. Get The Look: Blake Lively
By Heather | May 31, 2012Forever chic, Blake Lively brings her stunning style to every episode of Gossip Girl. This floral skirt + pop of color top is a scene stealer in my book. To get this feminine, yet foxy look for yourself start with a mini skirt. Look for floral print mini in a silk or chiffon fabric with lots of movement. Next, pick your pop. Neon yellow, deep purple, coral or tomato red work to balance fashion-forward color with the more traditional floral prints. Finally, layer on a statement necklace and killer heels to give the outfit your signature twist. Give 'em something to gossip about with this look! Coral Draped Top + Navy Floral Skirt 1. Elizabeth and James Floral Drew Skirt: Sultry silk is done up in a day-to-night navy blue floral. Pair this ruffled skirt with a tee or thin sweater by day, but then bring up to Lively caliber by night with heels and a bright coral blouse. A drawstring waist adds a playful finish. 2. Patterson J. Kincaid Bright Coral Layla Tank: Easy on anyone's pocket, this under $20 tank is the right complement to Elizabeth and James's Drew Skirt. In a deep orange coral, its easy-going silhouette adds to the movement of the whole outfit with draped sides that leave a partially exposed back. Neon Sleeveless Top + Watercolor Floral Skirt 3. Mason Yellow Sleeveless Blouse: Sleeveless button-ups are a big trend this summer. In a vivid yellow, this top also capitalizes on the neon trend. Pair back to a demure watercolor floral to bring a classic print into modern times. Neon yellow also looks fabulous with neutrals like black, nude or navy. 4. Elizabeth and James Mimi Miniskirt: Twice is nice. The Olsen twins struck gold with their Drew skirt, and they do the same with their Mimi mini. A smocked elastic waist and tie dyed watercolor print is flirty by day and foxy by night. Purple Trapeze Top + Ivory Floral Skirt 5. Alice and Olivia Purple Hillary Trapeze Top: Swing into style with this playful trapeze top by Alice and Olivia. A pop of purple is the perfect balance to a delicate ivory floral. A double layer of silk drapes the body, while a single layer gives a see-through effect to the flow-y sleeves. 6. BB Dakota Cambree Printed Chiffon Skirt: Pretty pleats and a trim waist give a flattering outline to this dainty chiffon piece. This girly-girl skirt is the perfect backdrop for a bold color like purple, coral or even turquoise. Stunning Swimwear
By Heather | May 30, 2012Make a splash in and out of the water in the season's most daring swimwear. From directional cuts to shocking hues, it's time to dive in! With Memorial Day weekend comes the official start to summer...and the official start to swimsuit season. Swimwear steals from this season's runways with bold hues, colorblocking, chevron stripes and the return to retro cuts, be it a seventies glam or Hollywood bombshell. Whether you're poolside or beachside, make a statement with stunning swimwear! 1. Marc by Marc Jacobs Merida Striped Triangle Bikini: Bold purple, blue and red come together in eye-catching chevrons and stripes. Gold piping adds the final layer of glam in this classic triangle bikini from Marc Jacobs. Perfect peeking out of a tank or tunic and cutoffs, this ageless style is a go-to. 2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Red Ribbon Tie Bikini Set: The colorblock effect. Colorblocks are everywhere from cocktail dresses to workwear blouses, so why not bring them to the beach? This bikini set gets its colorblocked effect from brilliant red paired with contrasting black details like straps and side ties. Sleek and streamlined, this bikini pairs well with an oversized hat and shades for a sophisticated poolside look. 3. Juicy Couture Grapefruit Miss Divine Bandeau Bikini: Look the part of beachside bombshell with this update on the classic bandeau. Ruching in the bandeau front and the back of the bikini bottom paired with gold hardware embellishments give this grapefruit-colored bikini a juicy twist. 4. Diane von Furstenberg Coral Red Chike Swimsuit: DVF's iconic wrap dress was the obvious inspiration for her Chike Swimsuit. A v-neck is achieved with a wrap front, while a skinny waist tie adds to the wrap dress illusion. Deep v-back for understated sex appeal. 5. La Perla Natural Suede Optic Bikini: The epic Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC comes to mind with this stunning bikini. A natural suede color, lace-up details and whipstitching contribute to the primal vibe of this suit. Pair with wedges and wood bangles to add to its wild, natural beauty. 6. Melissa Odabash Gunmetal Mirella Triangle Bikini: Channeling your inner Bond girl was never so easy. This futuristic suit gets its game on with metallic gunmetal fabric and plenty of silver hardware to get the job done. Classic triangle shape with side tie bikini bottoms. Designer Spotlight: Emerson Ryder
By Heather | May 29, 2012Emerson Ryder is the new gorgeous jewelry line created by the beautiful and talented Alana Sands! Her handcrafted designs have been seen on the wrists of Hollywood's elite including Minka Kelly. As you know, a stack of mismatched bracelets is Springs's hottest accessory trend. These bracelets are a great way to show off your unique style and will give every look a feel-good bohemian spin. Every jewelry collection needs one or two very special signature pieces, and you are sure to find an armful at Emerson Ryder. Currently hanging from my wrist are the Emerson Ryder Rosa Ballerina and A Piu Stelle, my personal favorites! A Note From The Designer: "I grew up acting and modeling in La and always LOVED fashion and especially jewelry. After I got married And had a baby I had this extra time and a fire in me to just make some pieces. I had always collected different beads and charms from all around the world and new I would one day make something. My grandma started collecting charms for me as a child and made me beautiful charm bracelets so I knew I would like to make something similar. The Gun on Turqoouise and the diamond disc on Pyrite were my first obsessions and loves! I started wearing them and my friends asked me to make some for them and their friends and so on. So I Decided to have my first trunk show and I would call my jewelry Emerson Ryder ( the names of my 2 children who are the loves of my life) I had stayed up every night for 3 weeks making almost 100 pieces and was SHOCKED when I was sold out...
And now I am venturing into necklaces bracelets and earrings. I truly feel blessed and honored everyday that I get to make stuff I love and people actually buy it! Its Almost as rewarding as having kids :)"
