Inspired By: The Great Gatsby

May 17, 2013 | Heather

I haven’t had a chance to see The Great Gatsby, but the trailer has been inspiration enough. The glitz, the glamor, the lights…not to mention being starstruck over Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan…inspired me to dedicate my Friday blog to the movie and its glorious style. With anything throwback, it’s best to go with just one theme piece. (Translation: don’t wear a crystal headband, a flapper dress, and fists full of Art Deco jewelry, or you’ll venture into Halloween costume territory). Instead, steal one sparkling necklace over a mod shift dress or let the flapper-esque dress stand with minimal accessories and trending heels. Without further ado, I present Gatbsy style in all its glory!

1. Diane von Furstenberg Diamond Box Clutch: Striking. This stunning hexagon box clutch is inlaid with Art Deco geometry, making it worthy of one of Gatsby’s parties. Pair it with an LBD to let it take center stage.

2. Parker Hayden Embellished Silk Mini Dress: Swing into any cocktail party with this magnificent gold and black mini dress. Sequins, beading, and the intricate pattern of diamonds and rectangles channels true period style.

3. Kenneth Jay Lane Deco Rhinestone Cuff: A little Gatsby goes a long way. This Deco cuff adds a little flapper flair to any look, whether dressed up or down. I’m in love with the striking green on black, wearable straight through summer into fall.

4. Mango Crochet Cotton Dress: For dreamy afternoons on the lawn, this crocheted cotton dress is demure and dainty. Pair with a wedge for cocktails, flats for summer lunches.

5. Deepa gurnani Double Strand Crystal Headband: A standout accessory of the Roaring 20′s, the crystal headband was the finishing touch for a girl about town. Add this statement piece to clean lines or a mod dress.

6. Rachel Zoe Crystal Dome Ring: Jewels by the fistful. There’s no denying the sparkle that emanates throughout this whole movie. I can’t wait to see the movie in all its glory! In the meantime, I’m adding this dome ring to my collection to get my daily dose of Gatsby bling.

7. Forever 21 Art Deco Bib Necklace: Jazz up a simple tee or an LBD with gorgeous jewelry. A bib necklace has the power to transform any basic piece into something extraordinary.

8. Haute Hippie Embellished Tank Dress: Turn heads. Carey Mulligan is absolutely enchanting in her tank dresses, and we all want a piece of her glamor. Get it with this Haute Hippie dress, a true homage to the Roaring 20s, and a whole lotta fun to wear.

9. Forever 21 Sparkling Art Deco Earrings: The finishing touch. Small drop earrings add the final touch, and these dainty ones channel Mulligan’s delicate structure and fair complexion, along with her inner sparkle.

 

Surf Inspired Styles

May 16, 2013 | Heather

Call it surf couture. Call it California girl. Call it beach-bumming babe. Whatever you will, surf inspired styles are hitting the racks in a big way, whether you call the West Coast home or not. Liven up your swim wardrobe with a colorful bikini or layer a vibrant necklace over a button up for work. Color is big when it comes to channeling the beach so choose floral pastels, pastel ikat, or colorful mixed prints. Also big is boho beach jewelry in the form of turquoise, gold or wood beads. No matter what pieces you choose, you bring a bit of the beach with you when you wear these surf-inspired styles (more beach-inspired beauty here).

1. Mara Hoffman Beaded Jacket: This beaded jacket is as much Coachella Desert as it is Laguna Beach. But no worries, it’s all California. Layer over your bikini for beach breezes or pair with festival cutoffs for concerts in the setting sun.

2. Amore & Sorvete Bolly Bikini Top: “I wish they all could be California girls…” Sing along with the Beach Boys who made these West Coast babes famous. This Bolly Bikini channels some serious California beach, with its flirty print and pretty ruffles.

3. Jonathan Simkhai Drawstring Puff Skirt: All the colors of the ocean come together in this dreamy printed skirt. Take it to the beach over your bikini or walk the boardwalk in its easy-breezy drawstring waist. A refreshing substituted for cutoffs that you can layer the same way with a tank and beaded necklace.

4. Thierry Lasry Glazy Sunglasses: Too cool for school…so we headed for the surf. These mod sunglasses are California cool all the way, whether you’ve just had your morning surf and coffee or your catching sushi in LA.

5. Vanessa Mooney The Celeste Ring: One part boho, the other part beach. Surf styles are notoriously throw-on-and-go, but even surfer girls like their bling. Wear this gorgeous turquoise ring all summer long; it’s a statement piece for sure.

6. bluma project Ikat Necklace: Teal, orange and gray are a classic combo, and reminiscent of the deep blue waters, setting sun, and May Gray of the California coast. Bring the beach to work by layering this wooden necklace over a straight-laced shift dress.

7. Joie Cosmo Print Flats: Minty green: so retro and yet so hip. This throwback color is my go-to favorite for accessories and shoes this season, whether it’s a kicky sandal or an enamel necklace. It pairs well with tons of colors from basic black and cool navy to sunshine yellow and citrus orange.

8. Clover Canyon Surf Shack Neoprene Mini Skirt: A rainbow of color and print, this skirt is true to the eclectic style of the surfer girl (as well as the HOT trends of the runways this year). Pair with literally any color tank and wedge for sunset drinks in beach towns.

9. Clover Canyon Orchid Trip Pencil Dress: Don’t underestimate the surfer girl. Underneath that sporty exterior she has killer style. Showcase your hidden siren with this pencil dress, fit to hug every curve as tight as your board to the wave.

Trending: Casual Pants

May 14, 2013 | Heather

It’s not often that a trend is as comfortable as it is cutting edge, but that’s what I’ve found in the trending casual pant. Perfect for the transition for spring to summer, these often cropped pants feature a tapered leg and a slouchy fit. Usually I’m not one for elastic waists and drawstrings (except for on my pajama pants), but these well-tailored casual pants are winners in my book. Printed, floral or basic black, pick a pair in your favorite color and dare to wear a million different ways: over your bikini, to work with a button-up (like Lily Aldridge did), with t-straps and and a tank or all dressed up with a sleeveless jacket and a sky-high heel.

1. Ella Moss Paisley Dixon Pant: Well-tailored, this slim cropped pant works well for keeping office hours. Pair with  your favorite heels and a crisp button-up, layering a statement jewelry piece to polish up the casual nature of these printed pants.

2. MONROW Ditsy Print Vintage Sweatpants: Casualwear at its finest. For bumming about town or lunch with your gals, dress up these almost pj pants with a structured jacket and flats. Finish with all the details: a structured mini bag and an armful of bracelets.

3. Pencey Pajama Pants: I never thought I’d be in love with a pajama pant, let alone be able to wear it out of the house, but I’ve found the wonder of both realities in Pencey’s Pajama Pants. Printed in a delicate pink floral, I’m dressing these up with strappy sandals and a tucked-in tee.

4. Rag & Bone Easy Pants: Make the transition to casual pants an easy one with these simple black crops. They are easy to layer in with your current wardrobe: just substitute these in where you normally wear your favorite black skinnies. I love how the graphic white pops against the black, so make sure to tuck in that top to show it off!

5.  Elizabeth and James Embroidered Gessler Pants: So chic. I wasn’t surprised to find Elizabeth and James on the label of this piece. I can definitely see Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen adding the finishing touch of embroidery to these army green pants, then pairing them with nude sandals and a skinny tank.

6.  3.1 Phillip Lim Draped Pocket Pants: Pair these slouchy pants with a relaxed button-up and flats, just like Lily Aldridge did. I adore the ditsy print, but think it looks best paired with neutrals like black or gray to keep the cutsy flowers in balance.

The Hit List

May 13, 2013 | Heather

Today’s Hit List is a list of iconic classics, a surefire style guide for summer 2013 and beyond. Buy any one of these pieces and invest in fashion’s most enduring styles. Starting with the dress that made her famous, a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress is one that every woman should own. Forever chic and always flattering, this dress can be worn work to weekend, for years to come. The silk blouse and the jean short are also forever, but the sleeveless cut and distressed wash add trend to these two picks. Statement jewelry and shoes make your mark on the world; investment pieces that can be worn all season long are a great buy. And finally, your most important accessory of all, a luxurious black bag. Pick something structured and polished for a go-to piece that works for all four seasons.

1. Diane von Furstenberg Valencia Long Sleeve Dress: Iconic dress, now print. DVF shot to the top of the fashion world with her iconic wrap dress. I believe every woman should own one in her lifetime. This mixed print dress is incredibly now with its three-print pattern in mint, coral and black. See more fun dresses here…

2. Equipment Sleeveless Signature Blouse: Blushing beauty. An airy, sleeveless silk blouse is your ticket to easy-breezy summer style. Paired with fresh white denim and wedges or strappy flats and distressed cutoffs, this casual top works for summer frolics. Hollywood starlets from Selena Gomez to Gwyneth Paltrow have been spotted in sleeveless blouses.

3. Pamela Love Arrowhead Ring: I preach the glories of statement jewelry, and this is my summer pick. Natural beauty paired with standout glamour is big, so pick up something in texturized silver or sparkling agate.

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Globetrotter Calamity Rei Bag: There’s a reason it’s called the globetrotter…a bag like this can go anywhere. If you don’t own a basic black bag, now is the time to buy. The structured shape, polished hardware and wear-with-all black leather guarantee that this bag will be in your wardrobe forever.

5. Sam Edelman Gatsby Gladiator Sandal: Mixing colors, textures, metallics, and prints…it’s not just for your apparel, it’s for your feet. A pair of flat sandals like this bring the mixed media rage to every beach and street you visit this summer (more summer obsessions here).

6. Rag & Bone/Jean Boyfriend Shorts: I couldn’t make it through summer without my distressed jean shorts. This American classic goes to the beach with your bikini or styles well with sleeveless silk tops for vacation wear (more summer vacay trends here).

Designer Spotlight: vkoo

May 10, 2013 | Heather

Simply, yet luxurious. Modern, yet timeless. Fun, yet sophisticated. vkoo has struck the perfect balance in its knitwear collections, and the world of fashion has taken notice. Just check out their press page, and you’ll be starstruck by all the celebrities who have pulled on a vkoo sweater this spring. vkoo’s sweaters are the perfect knit for seasonal transitions. With relaxed shapes and fun colors, any one of their pullovers, cardigans or scarves makes an easy throw-on-and-go with skinnies, leggings, or your favorite pair of cutoffs. Here’s a photo album of my favorite celebrity sightings…inspired specifically for weekend wear!

1. vkoo Cotton Pullover: January Jones layered her spring green and white striped vkoo knit over dark denim and a dotted top. I’m in love with the mix of stripes and dots! Her outfit also has me lusting after a structured white leather bag…

2. vkoo Linen Peak-Side Raglan: This clover green raglan looks springtime fresh layered over blue or white denim, just like Alessandra Ambrosio wore it. Layer this slightly sheer linen number with a long necklace and loose locks to get her look.

3. vkoo Cashmere Cardigan: Mom-on-the-run Sarah Jessica Parker wore her vkoo cardigan with same-colored layers and light-colored skinnies for springtime in New York. Pick up the kids, lunch with the girls, or do a little me-time shopping in this easy layer.

4. vkoo Cotton Pullover: Two-time celebrity favorite, the vkoo Cotton Pullover was also spotted on Emmy Rossum who wore it much the same as January Jones. This proves the outfit-making ability of a good knit…just pair it with jeans and go!

5. vkoo The Cashmere Loop Scarf: Jessica Alba is rarely seen without a scarf, whether she’s traveling or just out and about with her kids. She’s practically worn every piece in the Tolani collection, and now she’s added vkoo to her favorites.

6. vkoo Angles Pullover: Halle Berry roughs up her vkoo cardigan with distressed boyfriend skinnies, aviators, and well-worn booties. I love this edgy take on a delicate white pullover, which would also look great over cutoffs and your bikini or with a patterned skinny and sweet flats.

7. vkoo The Cashmere Tunic: A simple black sweater, yes, but the fit and knit are perfection. You’ll wear this cashmere tunic endlessly…with jeans, with printed skinnies, with shorts, with everything!

Pssst….any of these pieces would make the perfect Mother’s Day gift! Have a wonderful weekend, and Happy Mom’s Day to all you fabulous mothers! ~Heather

Time to Buy: Cutoff Shorts

May 9, 2013 | Heather

I stocked up on two pairs last week…and I’m lusting after even more. It’s time to buy cutoff shorts, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m sure you Northerners can agree, there’s nothing like stocking up on summer shorts to chase the last of the winter blues away. Trending this year are cutoffs in every color, from classic blue to cayenne red to dusty coral. Also big are patterns, whether that be a splashy floral or just subtle stars, a la Alessandra Ambrosio. And whether they are low-rise or high, slouchy boyfriend or mini Daisy Dukes, the cutoff short is back for the summer!

1. Big Star Low Rise Cuffed Denim Shorts: Not technically a cutoff, but just as classic. The rolled denim short gives a more finished look to your summertime wear. I especially love them styled with a knit for that spring to summer transition…then with a boot come summer to fall. They are super soft and feel great on, the perfect denim shorts in my opinion. The 5″ inseam is the ideal look for those of us who don’t want to rock the Daisy Duke trend!

2. Big Star Remy Shorts: Alessandra Ambrosio styled her Big Star short with a slouchy neon sweater, simple flats, and long beaded necklace…how will you wear yours? I adore the subtle white on denim print of these star spangled shorts.  I just recently discovered the Big Star brand and absolutely love it. I could sleep in these jeans they are so soft and comfortable. Added perk? The shorts really flatter the legs!

3. J Brand Jeans Neon Coral Cut-Off Jean Shorts: Say it with neon. I’m all about neon coral, electric blue, fluorescent yellow, and optic orange. Nothing says hot summer nights like the neon lights.

4. Rag & Bone JEAN Mila Distressed Denim Shorts: All-American girl? These shorts are for you. Classic leg-flaunting cut with a mini Daisy Duke inseam makes this short as USA as the 4th of July. A staple for any girl’s closet.

5.  Current/Elliott The High Waist Distressed Denim Shorts: Say hello to the high waist. Tuck in a trim button up or flaunt it with a crop top, the high-waisted short is showing up on fashionistas everywhere.

6.  Joe’s Jeans Easy Cutoff Shorts: Salsa red makes these shorts hot! hot! hot! Pair with turquoise jewelry for a boho beach vibe. Pick a short in a bold hue for your summer statement!

7. Paige Denim Jimmy Jimmy Shorts: A longer inseam gives this shorts a borrowed-from-the-boys vibe. Wearable at all ages, they have a style meets sensibility quality. Pair with your favorite wedges and layered crochet.

8. Siwy Camilla Cutoff Shorts: Almost a cult classic, the Siwy Camilla Cutoff has an impressive following. Rocked by fashionistas like Nicole Richie, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miley Cyrus, and Megan Fox, this cutoff is available in a host of different washes.

Inspired By: The MET Ball

May 8, 2013 | Heather

The MET Ball wowed on Monday night, with a star-studded red carpet full of celebrities and the fashion world’s brightest stars. In attendance were Beyonce in Givenchy, Anne Hathaway in vintage Valentino, Anna Wintour in Chanel, and Sarah Jessica Parker in Giles Deacon. This year’s theme was Punk: From Chaos to Couture, and the fashionistas dressed accordingly. Big color trends were black, plaid and PATTERNS galore, with punk details like skulls, studs, leather, and cutouts. In homage to fashion’s biggest night, I’ve pulled my favorite MET-inspired pieces. Punk up your wardrobe with these throwback looks:

1. BURBERRY LONDON Alizari Crimson Checked Mountbrook Trench Coat: Punk means plaid. Turn the classic Burberry trench on its head with a crimson and black plaid. Wear it chic with black and camel or punk mixed with other patterns and leather leggings.

2. SEE BY CHLOÉ White-Multi Plaid Jeans: Wearable and wow-able, these white plaid pants are hot for spring into summer. Dress them for work with a demure jacket or punk them up for a night out with skulls and spikes jewelry.

3. PETER PILOTTO Black-Multi Embellished Modern Mesh Dress: Anna Wintour rocked her vintage Chanel. This Peter Pilotto brought Wintour to mind with its floral patterning and white trim. Pair this dress with any little black shoe for a hot night in NYC…or your own city.

4. SERGIO ROSSI Sandals with Metal Mesh Detail: Black and white were big color favorites on the carpet, as well as mesh and cutouts. These shoes embody Monday’s choices with their vivid black on white stripes and sexy gold mesh accents.

5.  Alexander McQueen Britannia Skull-Clasp Clutch Bag: The Union Jack topped with a skull? You can’t get more punk than that! Pull out this tidy box clutch to punk up your afterhours look.

6.  Christian Louboutin Anita 85 Buckled Tartan Pumps: Madonna rocked a plaid, studded jacket, while Sarah Jessica Parker opted for thigh high plaid boots. Both were on par for the MET’s punk theme. Add your own twist with these tartan pumps, perfect for a black mini dress and tights come fall.

7.  Alexander McQueen Gold-tone Swarovski Crystal Skull Ring: Styled with skulls. Alexander McQueen kicks this gold skull up a notch with red Swarovski crystals. Pair with pretty pieces for a study in contrast. 

8. Chaser ‘Bowie Stars’ David Bowie Racer Tank: I can’t talk about punk without a nod to the punk musicians. Play with this tank all summer long, whether you dress it up with a patterned legging or throw it on with your bikini and cutoffs.

Trending: Chambray

May 7, 2013 | Heather

Following on the heels of its predecessor, chambray is trending just as big as the denim shirt. This light weave fabric isn’t denim, but it has the same look (white threads that are woven across blue threads). The reason chambray pieces are trending now is that it gives the look of the oh-so-fabulous denim pieces, but in a much lighter and more breathable fabric. My go-to chambray piece is going to be the button-up with my printed jeans, colored shorts, and casual leggings. But I’m also looking to work in some more of this fabric into my everyday wardrobe…perhaps with a dress, jacket, short or shoe in chambray. Care to join me?

1. Splendid Chambray Ditzy Dress: As worn by Emily VanCamp. She may be changing her color of choice from red (for Revenge) to blue (for summertime bliss). I adore the polka dots on this throw-on-and-go shirt dress. Plus, I love that Emily wore it with a pair of year-round booties, another huge trend!

2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Cut-Up Chambray Dress: Don’t wait until casual Friday to break out the denim blues! Mod for the workplace, this uber chic shift dress is composed of colorblocked chambray, cut to mimic denim. Pair with a sophisticated black shoe to balance the casual nature of this piece.

3. Charles Philip Sheila Chambray Flats: Beach-bumming or playing in the Hamptons, these preppy chambray flats take winter’s smoking shoe trend and make it summertime appropriate. I’d wear them with a relaxed boyfriend khaki and my favorite fitted tees.

4. ANNA SUI Lace Eyelet Shorts: Dark blue chambray looks so much like denim, you might do a double take. These shorts are outfitted with black lace eyelet, a much more polished look than a plain pair of denim shorts. Keep the look simple with a black sandal and a tucked in top or button down…or wear to work with a studious black blazer.

5. L’AGENCE Chambray Square Neck Dress: Another wear-to-work number, this classic chambray dress works for all ages. The light blue tone complements a summer tan, and you can take it from flats to heeled sandals, wedges to pumps depending on the occasion.

6. Victoria Beckham Denim Oversized Cotton Top in Chambray: Victoria Beckham styled her chambray in a modern, boxy cut. I love a top like this balanced with a trim cropped pant or summer mini skirt. Polished, yet edgy.

7. PAUL & JOE Barnie Drawstring Coat: Go-to topper. Layer this fun chambray coat like you would last year’s army jackets. I’m all about the mix of lightweight chambray and the relaxed fit of this drawstring coat. Plenty of zippers, strings, and pockets give it a borrowed from the boys charm.

 

Model Off Duty: Get The Look

May 6, 2013 | Heather

She may have been dining downtown, but Jessica Hart’s preppy style was straight out of the Upper East side. New York City may be chilly right now but this model certainly knows how to bring a ray of sunshine to the Big Apple. Jessica Hart injected a bit of color to the streets as she donned a fashionable outfit on a coffee run. It’s no wonder others out and about couldn’t help but stare at her clothing!
The blonde wore fitted lilac trousers and a light link jumper over her beige top, clutching to her mobile phone which was covered in a teal and white polka dot case. The pieces went well with her flat shoes and Burberry coat which she teamed with an oversize handbag and checked scarf in blue and purple. Get Jessica’s model off duty look!

1. J Brand 620 Super Skinny Jeans Washed Hyacinth: Refresh your weekend wardrobe by swapping your classic blue jeans for J Brand chic Hyacinth pair. I’ll be wearing this skinny style with everything from sporty sneakers to metallic pumps.

2. Merona Plaid Scarf: Jessica chose a plaid tartan-style scarf for her bright and colorful look while out in NYC. This Merona Plaid Scarf will add an instant hit of luxe to your look. Layer this statement piece with all your spring daywear for a cozy pop of color.

3. Matiko Lilo Suede Perforated Loafers: It’s time to say goodbye to ballets and hello to loafers! Loafers are firmly in the fashion spotlight this season and Jessica Hart know how to rock her yellow pair and strike the perfect boy/girl balance.

4. Burberry Trench: When it comes to stylish coverups, Burberry’s trench coat is nothing short of perfection. This classic trench coat is an iconic outerwear design. This timeless, showerproof piece will look especially chic belted at the waist – layer it over all your favorite looks for rainy days in the city.

5. Calvin Klein Carey Logo Large Tote: I love this Calvin Klein Carey Logo Large Tote! It is perfect for ‘girl-on-th-go’ chic. The sophisticated pale-taupe hues makes this a versatile everyday style and the pop of color on the handles give it a playful spin for Spring/Summer.

6. Kate Spade New York Newsprint Dot iPhone 5 Case: The Kate Spade New York Newsprint Dot iPhone 5 Case is a sweet and playful accessory. Featuring a fun, feminine graphic, this protective case is a fashionable and functional accessory for the tech-savvy sophisticate. It’s the chicest way to protect your technology.

I’m ecstatic to have this amazing woman’s design expertise. Stay tuned for pictures of my own room transformations, a la Emily, in the next few weeks. I can’t wait to share my before and afters with you! In the meantime, here are a few of Emily’s picks, sure to perk up any room in your house for Spring:

      1. Phoenix Wool Dhurrie Rug from West Elm: This has to be one of my all time favorite rugs! From the stylish Southwestern-inspired print to the flushed color palette of reds and pinks…this rug is a show stopper! I feel like it belongs in a room full of whites and neutrals allowing it to deservingly shine in all its glory!
      2. Serena & Lily Sheets: Who doesn’t love a set of fresh white, crisp sheets? Serena & Lily kicks theirs up a notch by adorning theirs with intricate embroideries in the lovliest of colors. They are the perfect combination of simplicity and style. I’d have to say my favorites are the Canyon Sheet in Cloud/Aqua and the Gobi Sheet in Berry!
      3. Cadiz Placemats Turquoise from Serena & Lily: With warmer temps approaching, I’m dreaming of dining al fresco! These Cadiz placemats by Serena & Lily are the perfect accessory for your outdoor table. The turquoise piping around the first-rate placard shape is simply genius! Pair them with these stylish Cadiz napkins and a few of these Montauk outdoor pillows and you’re all set for a chic outdoor affair!
      4. Horchow Turquoise Drape Chandelier: I’m a sucker for turquoise…and since first laying eyes on this show-stopping chandelier I simply cannot get it out of my head! Handcrafted in turquoise and accented with jade finished glass beads, this chandelier is certainly on my list of must-haves! It is the perfect statement piece that is guaranteed to turn heads.
      5. Glamour Bench by High Fashion Home: This acrylic bench, from High Fashion Home, is not only stylish and chic, it’s affordable! I’m slightly obsessed with the combination of the translucent acrylic legs and the tufted grey seat. It would be heavenly in a bathroom with floor-to-ceiling Carrara Marble and a sparkling crystal chandelier.
