Alana of Fashion Pulse Daily, Featured on NBC’s “New York Live”!

by


After relishing in my fifteen minutes of fame on  NBC New York’sNew York Live this past Monday, November 26th, I realized something. Recognition translates to a certain level of confidence, something that often comes from feeling great in what you’re wearing. I have always known that style transitions can be fun, but I never knew just how easy it is to radically transform your ensemble. My looks really reinvented themselves on their own (with the help of Liza Bychkov) , as you can see in the brief video clip above. We had some fun with big impact, and little effort in the outfit changes. See below for all of the items featured, and stay tuned for a giveaway with some of the featured products and brands from the segment!

Dana-Maxx for Sculptz Inc. Tights!

by

Now that we finally have a feel for fall weather, it’s time to think tights. Sculptz Inc. announces their new collaboration with one of our personal favorite women’s ready-to-wear designers, Dana-Maxx.

The designer’s covetable feminine flair (that recently dressed editor Julia DiNardo at NYFW) can now reach a wider audience in the form of legwear. Tights maintain their reign as one of our most fancied fall accessories. What’s the simple solution to recreating your basic sheath dress? We answer: perfectly patterned tights.

The limited edition collection of coy, geometric-inspired tights is sold exclusively on Silkies.com. Available in a variety of shades including cobalt, black, ink, and nude, all tights are priced at a reasonable $18! What’s more, all of the designs are manufactured in America!

[Dani "Chevron" Tights]

I’m envisioning a black leather skirt, Dana-Maxx Dani “Chevron” for Sculptz Inc. tights and fall’s must-have Chelsea booties. How will you draw attention to your legwear look?

What Every Guy Should Wear Come Spring 2013

by

You’ve seen all our favorites for spring 2013 in womenswear, but what about for menswear? We promise not to neglect what will be big for men, come spring, and we have pulled a distinct selection of looks that compiles everything from top notch suits to tried-and-true casual staples, like t-shirts. The use of color for 2013 will be huge, as well as accessorizing with scarves. Without further ado, we present the best of spring 2013, for the fashion aware dude.

1. J.Crew – This collection (above) would make Crayola proud. Color blocked polos, striped rugby sweaters, and lilac shorts and the return of cuffed pants. But, it was the Japanese chambray and navy pinstriped suit that really lined up right. This is the one stop shop for the American male 9-5 wardrobe (with the occasional after hours.)

2. Joseph Abboud - The same textures and lines that made for strong womenswear have shifted to menswear as well. Bombers have proved to be a necessary commodity for both dress up and dress down. Yet, it was an ode to old glamour that made the most sense in Abboud’s collection; classic pieces like ivory sports coats and lightweight sweaters have us yearning (already) for summer Fridays.

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013: Zang Toi

by

[Images courtesy of mbfashionweek.com]

The Show: Zang Toi

The Theme: Inspired by romance in the French Riviera, the Zang Toi show felt like a haute couture daydream complete with a dew-like misty air and whimsical French music.

The Color Palette: Ice pink, ice yellow, ice lilac, ivory, black

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The standouts in the collection included evocative menswear inspired looks and fanciful fairy princess gowns. The looks epitomized a strong, sexy female who nurtures her soft and demure side. Romanticism was at the crux of the assemblage. Expertly tailored blazers and trousers, pleats, ruffles, oversized sleeves and jewel-encrusted accents were abound in the French fantasy.

A black floor-length tailcoat with intricate hand beaded wildflower lining was paired with a silk tuxedo shirt, white bowtie, exposed garters and black silk high-waisted shorts. An ice lilac hand loomed rayon gown was both adorned with a “French Riviera” crystal necklace and unadorned with a sexy back.
