FEW FESTIVAL DRESSING IDEAS

FEW FESTIVAL DRESSING IDEAS

Wow, time really does fly! Doesn't it? It feels like only yesterday I was getting ready for fashion week in February, and now 2 months have flown by and we are basically a week away from the Festival Season! YAY! Now, if you read my blog on the regular, you know that I'm a bit obsessed with Festival Season! Aside from the fact that it takes place in Palm Springs (think gorgeous weather, stunning views and super relaxed vibe) getting Festival-ready is definitely one of my favorite things ever!

Usually, when I start getting ready, I like to pack my necessities first! Through trial and error, and trust me, there were quite a few errors, I've come up with a list of 3 absolute must-haves I always bring with me. First and foremost are sunnies! Desert sun is not a joke, and in the past I've made a mistake of going without them, which made seeing my favorite bands perform not an easy task indeed:) So, from now on, a variety of cute shades is the first thing I pack. Next is sunblock of course! Now, I used to tell myself I never burn, and generally speaking it's true. But like I said, desert sun is really unlike anything else, so if you don't want to spend a few days dealing with a bad sunburn, sunblock is a must! Last but certainly not least is chapstick. I know, sounds kinda crazy, but because desert air is so dry and the sun is so strong, my lips get dry like there is no tomorrow, so I always carry a few chapsticks with me.

As far as planning my Festival outfits, comfort is definitely something that is very important to me. Well, I suppose shoes would be the only exception! Guess I love heels too much to trade them in for flats, even if flats are a more comfortable option:) We all have our vices, I suppose! :) Knowing that I'm gonna be spending all day in the sun, I usually go for very breezy, flowy, slightly bohemian pieces. Though in the past, I've opted to wear a lot of bright colors, this year, I'm more attracted to a slightly calmer color palette, especially creams, whites and various shades of brown. But what hasn't changed, is the way I feel about details and embroidery and lace seem to be the obsession du jour.

Take the first look from today's post for example. I opted to pair a cute suede mini with a breezy lace-embellished off-the-shoulder blouse, gladiator heels and loads of layered bracelets. To complete this look, I went with a pair of tortoise sunnies. Aside from the fact that I love pairing suede and tortoise because they look so insanely chic together, I like adding even a bit of print or texture whenever I pair solid colors together. What I love about these particular shades is the fact that not only are they absolutely gorgeous but they are also extremely practical! As I mentioned before, when it comes to dressing for the Festival, sunnies are definitely not just an accessory but really more of a necessity. You always want to make sure the the shades are dark enough to actually protect your eyes from the sun, and I also recommend going for a slightly oversized shape so that your entire eye area is covered. These happen to be a combination of all those things, so naturally I'm obsessed!

The second look is really an homage to my current obsession with all things embroidered! I love how striking yet delicate this floral embroidery is, and of course the combination of white, red and black is just stunning! Though I certainly could have gone with a pair of black shades to complete this look, I wanted to go with something a bit different so that it doesn't come across as too matchy matchy, so I opted to wear my all-time favorite shape, i.e. oversized retro cat-eye sunnies in a beautiful shade of brown. Once again, what I absolutely love about these is the fact that they are a perfect combination of style and functionality. Large and dark enough to keep my eyes protected, yet striking enough to add a perfect finishing touch to any look.

What about you guys, what's your festival style like?

FEELING FESTIVE

FEELING FESTIVE

Though I love Holiday season in general, dressing up is definitely one of my favorite parts! Yet, with so many different events, parties, get-togethers and mixers to attend, choosing what to wear, can get a bit frustrating! So, I though it would be fun do a post covering a few different functions like a casual work party or a family get-together for example, girls night out and finally, a dressier, date-night type occasion.

CASUAL PARTY:

For me, Holiday dressing doesn't automatically imply getting super dressed up! Take festive outerwear for example, a beautiful plaid jacket in a signature Holiday black and red color combo captures the spirit of the season without looking too formal! Perfect for any casual function, not only does it look great but it will also keep you warm and cozy for the rest of the season:) For today's look, I paired my red checked moto jacket with all black pieces and accessories to really make it the focal point of this look! Fun little finishing touch, an oversized plaid blanket scarf to make that red really pop!

GIRLS NIGHT OUT:

A little fun, a little edgy and sexy, a feathered skirt and a tailored blazer are a match made in fashion heaven and a great alternative to a little black dress! Aside from my general love of separates, what makes this particular feather mini & fitter blazer so great is their versatility. You can pair this mini with tailored pieces like I've done for today's look or wear it with a slouchy turtleneck sweater and boots for a slightly more casual vibe. And the same can be said about the blazer! Dress it up with tailored bottoms or down with a pair of jeans and cute loafers. Basically, the possibilities are endless! For today's outfit, I was going for a really dressy, polished look, so I added strappy heels, a fun gold clutch and some beautiful layered jewels in gold.

DATE NIGHT:

Dresses are my achilles heel, and fun, sequin number are my ultimate weakness, especially for the Holidays!:) Love the way sequins catches the light, sparkles and shines in a beautiful rainbow of colors! Once again, a great alternative to a little black dress, sequin dresses add that perfect dose of glitz and glamour and create a really strong impact. Because they are such a statement piece, I prefer to pair them with really simple accessories so that they don't take away from the dress. A cute pair of heels and a simple clutch is really all you need to shine! Finishing touch? A few layered rings, red lips and tousled waves! And voila! A perfect date-night look!

#NYFW FUN WITH PANDORA AT NANETTE LEPORE SPRING 16 PRESENTATION

If you read my blog on a regular basis you know what a huge PANDORA Jewelry & Nanette Lepore fan I truly am! Well, as luck would have it, I got a chance to partner with PANDORA for NYFW to style a few favorite pieces from their Autumn collection and also attend Nanette Lepore's SS16 presentation!

This season Nanette Lepore's collection was laid-back, carefree, and just plain fun featuring some beautiful off-the-shoulder numbers, black eyelet and fun prints. The looks were accessorized with stacked PANDORA rings, which served as perfect finishing touches to these playful looks!

I chose a beautiful little cape number from Nanette Lepore to wear to the event. Aside from my general fondness for little black dresses, what attracted me to this particular piece, was the cut, the long dramatic bell sleeves and embellished keyhole neckline. In short, I liked pretty much everything about it!:) I accessorized the look with layered sterling silver PANDORA bracelets and rings to create a very dramatic arm party. The best thing about PANDORA is that I'm able to showcase my unique, individual style. I said it before and I'll say it again, when it comes to jewelry, I strongly believe that more is more... And of course this look is no exception!:) In my mind, little black dresses and heavily-layered jewels are basically a match made in fashion heaven. Something about the classic elegance of black paired with an embellished wrist helps to create a rather dramatic look! And of course you know me, when it comes to fashion, a little drama is a must!:)

The Dress That Had Me At Hello

The Dress That Had Me At Hello

Dress: Three Floor Fashion c/o, Heels: Russell & Bromley, Arm Bangle: Feather & Stone c/o, Bracelets: Nadia Rabosio, Rings: Freedom @ Topshop

If this Three Floor dress could talk (no doubt in the most fabulous raspy, upper East Side New York-en lilt) it would have had me, for sure, at hello. 

I wore this look to our friends' wedding this past weekend, and had the most fun. A stellar dress will do that for you. 

Read on for more pics, and my notes on wedding guest dressing . . . 

Notes on styling: By the end of the Summer I will have been to five weddings this year - the most I have ever been to! I know you guys are smart, and so what I'm about to say will no doubt already be ingrained in your wardrobe psyche, however I feel it's worth repeating: you're comfort at the wedding is paramount, do not sacrifice it for your outfit! Bring a coat, wear comfortable shoes, and an ensemble you can eat in. 

When it comes to clothing, a flattering cut is my go-to for confidence. Be that a great pair of trousers and a structured top, or a fit n' flare dress . . . with room for wedding cake! 

Colour is an easy cheat to looking your best; think of the hue which people most compliment you in and search for a great look in that colour. I love pink, and will have worn it to three of the five weddings this year, I always feel great in it and so it's an easy option for me. For you, a fabulous jade green may be your perfect colour, or cobalt blue, or orange . . . experiment until you find a hue which makes your eyes sparkle, skin glow and you smile! If you find yourself lost in a pile of options, take a photo in your mirror of each, including shoes and accessories, and compare your looks once you've had some time to step away and get some perspective. Ultimately, it comes back to my first point, whatever you feel most comfortable in, you'll look your most fabulous!

Forever New dress (worn as top) & bag / Glassons shorts / Aaelle heels c/o Shelly's London / 14k Gold Wrapped wire ring & Diamond Hammered ring c/o nonComplex

After a lengthy search for the perfect minimalistic rings, I finally stumbled upon the beautiful array of 14k gold-filled rings at nonComplex. Elegant, simple, and handmade - with your choice of whether you want a hammered texture on them or not - the rings haven't been taken off since they arrived at my doorstep just before the weekend arrived.

The beautiful thing about 14k gold-filled jewellery is that it lasts beautifully due to the real gold in it, and unlike gold-plated jewellery (it's worth knowing the difference and staying clear from the latter) it doesn't tarnish, is allergy free and doesn't turn your skin green after wear! It's especially wonderful if you don't have the extra money to spend on solid gold jewellery but still want something that can last and you can wear daily (yes, even after it coming in contact with water) ;-)

It's lovely creator, Stephanie, also makes selected jewellery in 14k rose gold or sterling silver upon request, so do yourself a favour and head over to her store to snatch up some staple pieces which arrive at your door in sleek, black 100% recyclable boxes.
