Collection Sneak Peek: American Eagle Outfitters & Aerie for Summer 2015

by

There’s no denying that boho is playing a very strong role in summer 2015 fashion, and over at American Eagle Outfitters, the trend is manifesting itself via crocheted dresses and shoes, maxi dresses, paisley print, tie-dye, and all things slouchy and breezy. Naturally, there’s a beach element in the collection, with stylish coverups, bikinis and retro patterning abounding. The sandals this season are simply divine, largely with completely flat, leather soles granting them convertible power of easily moving from the sand to the streets.

Last, in the underwear department, aerie is partnering with tween intimates start-up Yellowberry with a line of comfy and colorful intimates starting March 26th and priced from $29.95-$35.

See the slideshow above for a handful of my favorites picks, including loads of sandals!

Taking the lead from the modern bohemian aesthetic as inspiration, the newest collection is described by Pina Ferlisi, Henri Bendel’s Creative Director as “boho beach meets Boho sport.”

Blush pinks, vibrant blues, and new riffs on the signature brown and white stripe round out the Henri Bendel spring 2015 collection when it comes to handbags, with some ombré, a touch of neon,a terrific, sophisticated butterfly print, and great texture via perforation, straw, and woven fabrications are also in the mix. The jewelry lineup is straight forward and simultaneously versatile, subtly featuring the latest trends including ear jackets, fluid metal cuffs, figure 8 stacked rings, tassels, the use of pearls, and asymmetrical shaping.

As always, small leather good abound by way of wallets, iPhone cases, and jewelry books, along with items to get you thinking about the warmer weather to come, such as jelly flip flops, over sized canvas totes, straw hats, delightful sunglasses, beach-infused candles like “Boho Beach” and “Ocean Mist,” and statement-making, stylish luggage, apropos for a tropical island getaway. See the slideshow above for some of my favorites from Henri Bendel’s summer preview, with most pieces becoming available online and in-store for purchase in April, May, and June.

Nesting and Partying with T.J.Maxx and Marshalls

by

My astrological sign is a cancer which means I have the trait of being a homebody; a pretty spot on assessment, and I think a lot of people, cancer and non-cancers alike,  have been spending an excessive amount of time indoors this winter. As a result, evaluating home décor and furnishings is only natural, and the desire to revive and refresh your living space at a great price totally makes sense. Recently I went to the T.J.Maxx and Marshalls Home Preview Event, which provided a bunch of great styling and trend ideas to duplicate in the home, which is easy because all of their items are so accessible and affordable!

See the slideshow above for my favorites, which include vibrant picture frames, luxurious throws, cool desk supplies and organizational tools, seasonal items that will come in handy once the warmer months hit for entertaining and entertainment, like scuba, swim, and barbeque gear, decorative dinnerware, and of course, some on-trend furniture.

Marissa Webb has been able to develop a look that’s very, well Marissa Webb, cultivating a cohesive, signature look that has been a standout in a sea of hundreds of shows each season, which certainly is no easy feat. Each look that came down the runway this season left the viewer craving more, as Webb is a true layering master, balancing the juxtaposition of feminine, lace and filmy fabrics paired with tough leather and menswear-inspired blazers and structured jackets.

Clearly influenced by and dedicated to the modern professional woman, Webb has taken the power suit and turned it into something any gal, regardless of her style or age, would yearn to wear. From the herringbone prints to the flouncy, airy skirts, to the surprise injection of buttery pinks and reds, her collection was one that could be walked away from with true inspiration for carefully reinventing your own closet, one investment piece at a time.
