I have to pinch myself sometimes, considering how lucky I am to be able to preview amazing products from incredible brands, especially those  that reside among my favorite, and then get to share them with you, dear reader!

For fall 2014, I previewed collections from H.H. Brown’s brands and licenses: Carmen Marc Valvo Calzature, Carmen Carmen Marc Valvo, Sofft, Born, Crown by Born, Isola, Kork-Ease, and Walk-Over, and have selected several styles from each brand to share, so that you too can get excited about the upcoming season’s trends that incorporate new, important silhouettes, textured fabrications, and interesting heel shapes. Suede for fall is a MUST, as well as exotic skin detailing, like snakeskin and stingray, with heels ranging from spindly to curved and chunky. Menswear-inspired looks are still prevalent, along with “Granny” inspired lace ups, with comfort AND style reigning.

While in the showroom, I got to spend some time with menswear designer David Hart, who had very, very cool, one-of-a-kind custom shoes created for him by H.H. Brown for his fall 2014 show (see pictures in the slideshow above).

Pair it With This: Pearls

by

pearls

Let’s get one thing straight: these are NOT your grandma’s pearls! Avant garde, over sized baubles in modern shapes and pairings are the new way to look at, think about, and wear pearls, so if you do want to wear your gram’s heirloom hand-me-downs, pair them with crystals, studs, and mixed metals for a fresh feel. If you’re in a shopping state of mind and want to check out the new iterations of jewelry that heavily include pearls, I’ve got a variety of options above, and I am skipping out on what to pair it with this week because…they look AMAZING with everything! With some metallic accents and other contemporary pieces, pearls feel right at home amongst your jeans and hoodies as well as with a slinky cocktail dress. Go ahead, have fun, and expect the compliments to roll in!

Love It or Hate It? Shoes with Eyes

by

shoes with eyes

 

Putting a bird on it was the animal of choice, then feathers and kitties seemed to take over, so are eyeballs next? They may very well be the next cool thing to adorn your shoes with, and Laura at Lollie Shopping weighs in with her two cents on the subject, along with some eye-inspired footwear for you to mull over.

Sneak Peek: Nautica Women’s Sportswear for Fall 2014

by

There are certain criteria that Nautica women’s sportswear must meet every season, namely being practical, versatile and efficient, while remaining fashion forward.  Excelling with  aplomb for fall 2014 under the tutelage of Chris Jackson, the brand’s VP of Women’s Design, the collection is at once crisp, refined, and certifiably distinguishable as Nautica.

Pointing in the direction of it’s heritage, now over three decades strong, the fall deliveries for the line are broken into three motifs: Absolute Bearing (window pane prints, and stripes; August delivery), Know the Ropes (tailored, versatile pieces; September delivery), and Long Stay Lady (colorblocking, rich colors and textures; October delivery). See the slideshow above for some of the pieces that I KNOW you will love, including a great anorak in orange or green, tall boots with aptly placed hardware detailing, and a knit asymmetric zip moto sweater. Shop Nautica.com for the extensive lineup, starting in August of 2014!
