Safe & Stylish Travels

The holidays are around the corner which means a lot of travel to see family and friends. We have some trips planned and we're sure you do too. But, just because you're on the move, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your look. We are wearing the Funk top by Fluxus for long car rides and plane trips. This top is just as comfortable as it is stylish with cuffed sleeves and a rolled round neckline. Paired with leggings we already own, it's an outfit any fashionista would be proud to wear.
Speaking of plane trips, we can’t leave home without our PLANE TO SEE bag. We 've been using these for years and now we can share it with all of you! Made of regulation sized clear plastic, this bag will make traveling easy. Throw this in your Jessica Kagan Cushman tote and your airport security run will be smoother than ever. Last we suggest a scarf to keep you warm and cozy while in transit. Try a YARNZ cashmere blend scarf worn as intended or use it as a blanket while you doze off. What gal doesnt like to snooze in style?

Safe travels!

It's Trend Time

Most girls, like myself can attest, all trends are not created equally or for everyone. No matter how we may wish they could be. Skinny jeans aren’t for all body types and pointy toed shoes don’t necessarily excite the masses. So it goes each year, one must learn to scour the market, analyze the new, and decide… this trend is mine. As a self proclaimed fashion obsessed individual, I love to follow trends. Whether I decide to rock them or not is another story. But in the midst of the military craze, the plaids, and layer upon layer of neutrals, I have my sights set on a few trends I intend to embrace.

Seen on the head of Kourtney Kardashian, and the must have list of Rachel Zoe, I too am smitten with these uber chic turbans. I am talking about Gold Saturn headwear by the young designer, David Acosta. Picture this head wrap on a windy day at the beach or as that perfect ear cover on a chilly day in the city. Either way this trend is a true statement piece I will make all my own!
Next on my hit list are fingerless gloves. I mentioned recently my move from New York to Florida. Well I suppose this trend is my way of holding on to the weather I left behind. Crocheted tubes by Yarnz are 100% cashmere and deliciously soft. Picture wrapping your hands in your favorite cashmere scarf. I love them in navy, worn with denim. Best part, they are light enough to wear throughout the entire evening. Therefore, not only warming your hands, but creating an unexpectedness that even the most bold statement necklace cannot.
My advice is… Make your move. Pick a trend. Wear it your way and remember enjoy them while they’re here cause nothing lasts forever.

Fall Favorites

It is undeniable that Fall is officially in full swing! I love how the weather is starting to cool off a bit, even if it’s only by a few degrees. It still means it's time to break out fall fashions. So although my new found Floridian status has left me yearning for the cooler days in NYC, I have found a way to embrace fall in my own way.

On top-I am wearing grey hued tops by Kain Label and LnA- Light weight by fall standards, but the shades of grey remind me what time of year it is.

Instead of boots- I am wearing the Wymer black and nude patent pump by Sergio Zelcer- It's the ideal transition from summer nude to winter black just don’t be fooled by the low price point these shoes demand any fashionista’s respect.

For my nails- I am wearing Shellac- It's the first hybrid nail color that is applied like polish. It wears flawlessly for 14 days with a high gloss shine. Not only does it last for what seems like forever, it allows you to leave the salon knowing you can’t possibly mess up your perfect mani.

I may have left chilly weather behind, but embracing new trends and colors will always be part of my fall tradition.

XOXO,
Dana
