Overview of New York Fashion Week

February 17th, 2012 |

From the raw inspiration that drives a designer to the runway they walk onto at the end of a show, the complexity and effort of a collection is worth it all for this one week of fame: New York Fashion Week.

Inspiration

Great minds think alike as several of this season’s designers are gravitating towards similar inspirations.  The rugged outdoors has caught the attention of many as others have gained inspiration from the pristine structure of a tailored garment.  Images from: https://mail2.nerolispa.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.gq.com/fashion-shows/F2012/new-york/fashion-week-sneak-preview-designers%23slide=1.

Don’t Dress Cliche This Valentine’s Day

February 10th, 2012 |

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, it has become difficult to turn the corner in any store without seeing the festive reds and pinks displayed on chocolates, cards, and a variety of stuffed animals.  Though the colors of the February 14th tradition are fun and vibrant, wearing them can be tricky and easily overdone on this special day. Listed below are a few of the Do’s and Don’ts when dressing for Valentine’s Day.  Following these rules will leave you looking romantic and chic on your date night with that special someone or will leave you secretly, or not so secretly, admired while spending the night out with your friends.

Don’ts

Don’t overdo the amount of hearts in your ensemble.

Don’t roll your pants up or wear an outfit to display your fuzzy, glow-in-the-dark heart socks.

Don’t dress head to toe in the stereotypical shades of red and pink that are associated with Valentine’s Day.

Don’t overdress for your date night or wear an outfit that resembles your red or hot pink negligee.

Don’t take your cupid costume out of the closet and into a public place. Save that for Halloween.

Ready for Warm Weather, Sundresses, and a Punch of Color? Why Wait for the Temperature to Rise?

February 3rd, 2012 |

Our winters are long and our summers are short, but that doesn’t mean you have to pack all of your bright, floral sundresses away. Don’t wait for the temperature to rise to slip on your favorite summer dress. Here is how to layer summer pieces for colder temperatures:

Add items like a sweater, tights, and boots for a warmer outfit.  Accessorize with bangles or a necklace to complete the look.  This style of layering can work with both short summer dresses and maxi dresses.  Remember creating a waist when layering a maxi dress by adding a belt will keep your figure from being hidden by bulk.

Blu Moon asymmetrical dress, $108
Lanvin knit top, $1,495
Elizabeth and James waffle sweater, €149
Brown stocking, $14
Burberry low heels, $795

ROAD TO FASHION WEEK | 3-Strand Braid

February 1st, 2012 |


Braiding is one of the biggest trends this season.  Braids will range from simple 2-strand braids to very complicated 6-strand twisted braids.  After creating the braid, the top trend is to slightly mess it up to create a  “lived in” feeling.  The goal is to make the end result look simple but as you look closer, you can see it’s very complicated and interesting.  Watch as hairstylist Jon Reyman demonstrates a basic 3-strand braid to his Fashion Week 2012 team.

Josef, Neroli East Side Hair Designer, will be working alongside Jon Reyman during Fashion Week 2012. This is the first of many blogs that will showcase Josef’s road to fashion week experience. The count down to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (Feb 9-16, 2012) has begun.
