Alana of FashionPulseDaily’s Superdry USA Summer Style Video!

When it comes to summer style, I’m all about switching it up. While I do like to get fancy once in a while, casual, fashion-forward looks make up the majority of my wardrobe. Thankfully, Superdry USA is a global fashion brand that understands casual AND contemporary apparel (sweet relief!).

Fashion Pulse Daily was given the awesome opportunity to be featured as a Superdry USA Summer Style Blogger, and I took this opportunity to span both nautical and Western influences. Together, and with the overall vintage American style of the spring/summer 2012 collection, I crafted an outfit I could own as 100% mine: a candy cane-striped jersey crewneck , faded denim shorts, canvas flats, and (my absolute fave!) a classic camel trenchcoat.

Here’s some pieces from my look below :

[Superdry Classic Mackintosh, $250]

[Superdry Candy Cane Crew, $80]

The styling, shopping, and video all took place at the new Superdry USA Times Square store — 14,000 square feet of iconic fashion goodness! The two-story store is located at 729 Seventh Avenue at 49th Street with products ranging from men’s and women’s apparel to swimwear, footwear and fragrance.

Goddess dresses bring femininity to the Spring/Summer collection, while plaid shirts and graphic tees help keep the looks a bit rough around the edges. Bikinis and cover ups are definitely a high note, which can be found just in time for the 4th of July in patriotic red, white and blue stripes.

The brand pays homage to its Tokyo-inspired heritage, while I paid some homage to New York City. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it! Check it out:

This season, House of Harlow’s Nicole Richie imagines her customer traipsing along the beaches of Saint Tropez, all while being effortlessly glamorous. The pieces are certainly evocative of a tribal, yet goddess-like sophistication, consistent with the line’s bohemian, cultural edge. Summertime brings more tri-color metals such as moonstone, and tiger’s eye stones to the line, and you can shop these pieces featured, and more styles at Shopbop.com and House of Harlow 1960’s online outposts and in-store retailer locations starting now.

PERSOL MAGNIFICENT OBSESSIONS: 30 Stories of Craftsmanship in Film

by Julia DiNardo

What do you wear to an exhibition opening party at the Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI)? Well, it must be stylish, and since Persol is a part of it, I assume then it’s okay to wear your sunglasses at night? All joking aside, the sartorial selections should be sleek, chic, maybe Italian (a nod to Persol’s heritage), and ready to dance, eat, drink, and learn about the latest on-view collection!

The exhibit, PERSOL MAGNIFICENT OBSESSIONS: 30 Stories of Craftsmanship in Film runing now through August 19th, takes a closer look at ten stories of obsessive workmanship within a select number of films. On display are items from well-recognizable movies as well as the rarely seen research notes, sketches, video interviews, and various other objects used in the development process by some of the world’s most respected filmmakers.

During the course of the evening’s festitivies I met actor John Turturro, watched a video about the meticulous process of Persol eyeglass-making, and made something of my own; a tiny flipbook film as memorabilia from the night (pictured above)!
